Kamala Harris names Tupac 'best rapper alive'
2020-09-27
[NYPOST] Vice presidential nominee Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful, and Joe Biden's wing nut...
 called Tupac Shakur the "best rapper alive" during an interview at the NAACP’s virtual convention Friday — even though the legendary emcee has been dead for more than two decades.

"Best rapper alive?" CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
 commentator Angela Rye asked the Oakland native.

"Tupac," Harris answered with little hesitation before Rye reminded her that the West Coast icon had passed away long ago.

"Not alive, I know, I keep doing that," Harris said with a laugh.

Tupac has notoriously been the subject of baseless conspiracy theories that he faked his own death when he was fatally shot in 1996, which Rye appeared to jokingly reference.

"Listen, West Coast girls think Tupac lives on; I’m with you," she laughed.

The former the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
 district attorney then struggled to name a living rapper — "there’s so many, you know?" she went on.

"There’s some I would not mention right now because they should stay in their lane," Harris said, without elaborating.

Eventually, she passed on the question.

"That was not supposed to be a stumper," Rye added.

#13  I agree with the late Ray Charles. Rap is not music.

#12  *Ice Cube. With the randomizer going with rap names and groups, there is likely an Ice Cub, possibly Snow's earlier stage name.

#11  Sounds like a hot sauce in the purse moment.

The easy answer for someone of her era and answer would be Ice Cub, who actually worked with Tu Pac, managed to not get killed, and went on to a successful entertainment career.

There's another guy still showing up, he even made a video about shooting Trump, though now he sells beer and nachos, named Snoop Dogg (or is it still Snoop Lion?)

Her Blamtifa friends have adopted the logo style of Wu-Tang Clan, which I would consider an acceptable answer.

And that guy named Jay-Z, he's made a name and a couple dollars.

Puff Daddy was a horrible rapper, but his talent was finding talent, and went on to have a very successful career - if you want to tweak a Big-E fan, throw out the conspiracy that Puff Daddy hired the hit to further his flagging career.

Nobody expects some white gal from law enforcement to know anyone younger than Eminem, so throw out some props for those who didn't burn out or get killed.

Now if you want to twist some pants, "Tu Pac's best work was as a backup dancer in Digital Underground."

#9  Tupac Shakur was a crack dealer who had enough rap talent to sing about it and ended up recording it all.

I still play his collection.

#8  We need that old Dan Ackroyd "point/counter-point" routine where begins to address the Shana Alexander character each episode with, 'Jane, you ignorant slut.'

Update it for this mendacious whore:
Kamala, you lying skanky cunt.

Komma-La was referring to Tupac Shenkar. Ravi's problematic brother.

The people who were fans were users and gang bangers. This woman idolizes corrupted people in a big way.

#2  the "best rapper alive"

He will be if he votes this election.

#1  Better than Mellie Mel, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee in his rap battle days?

Better than LL Cool J?

I mean, purely as a rapper (material aside) Eminem at his peak was better.
