    Today is the 16th anniversary of Tupac being shot and killed leaving the Tyson fight.

    I was at a small gathering of some friends, we were drinking and playing cards and had just watched the fight. Thing is I dont remember if I knew anything happened until the next day. I remember MTV had a streaming banner on the television reporting the news. All we had back then was Headline News lol. Good ol days. But ah yeah I was 18. Crazy how time flys.

    I was also 10. Remember watching stuff about it on MTV at a friends house because his 11yr old sister was devastated by it. Then we played golden eye on NG4.

    Reading the thread title for a split second I was like wtf no way it's 16 years since September 11th then I realized it's the 7th today and this is referencing something else. Had no idea Tupac's death was one of those "what were you doing when this happened" situations like JFK's death, OJ's trial or 9/11, etc.

    To be honest I was probably listening to rock 16 years ago not having a clue who Tupac was (still can't name one of his songs)

    all i remember about this what i was devastated because I was a big 2pac fan, and had all of his albums, movies at the time. I remember cutting out the newspaper stories about it and pinning them up on my wall with all my posters and shit.

    I remember when OJ got found not guilty, me and all my friends ran out of our classrooms in grade 8 and were cheering.... we were a strange bunch id say.

    Liked his music but was never a huge fan. I was born 25 days after him and was in Vegas at the time of his shooting working at the Showboat Casino. Definitely avoided strip on my way home from work :)

    I haven't read up on it in awhile but I don't think title is accurate b/c he didn't die for another week iirc

    I watched the fight. Heard about Tupac and wasn't surprised by it. Not sure why it is even being brought up now. just another homicide.

    I think the biggest "where we're you when" moments from that era of 90s was when Diana died

    I was 16 and to be completely honest I was much more interested in the outcome of the Tyson fight then some rapper getting murdered. It wasn't until my girlfriend was crying a couple years later when Tupac and Biggie's moms were on MTV music awards or something that I realized it was a big thing to a lot of people. First world problems.

    My most memorable "where were you" moment in the 90's was JonBenét Ramsey

    Remember running through the snow.

    i remember hearing the news about kurt in the car. i was pretty young and had just started listening to nirvana a couple years prior.

    diana i remember vividly because i was like 14 and at my parent's lake house. i won't forget thinking about her kids, i couldn't have cared less about diana but those kids were close to my age and i was thinking how horrible it would be to be that age in the worldwide spotlight and have your mom die like that.
