  • Mastermind Street Jam – Tape 92 (Sept 9, 1996)

    Mastermind talks about the tragic shooting of 2Pac in this episode. It was horrible news that really shook up the hip-hop community and dominated the news. I was really pulling for 2Pac because he didn’t deserve that. He was an incredible artist and would have made big waves in Hollywood too. I am sure of […]
