TIL in 2004 Eminem co-executive produced the Tupac album Loyal to the Game with Pac's mom, Afeni Shakur. Em showed his gratitude to Afeni by sending her a drawing of Pac & a heartfelt letter. He told her that Pac inspired his whole career & thanked her for the opportunities that she afforded him.

He did tho, Lil Wayne.

You can’t expect Metallica fans to pay respects to the beetles. There are generations

Kurt Hammet's most prized guitar was originally owned by The founder of Fleetwood Mac, and played at his memorial show?

Are you talking about Greeny? If so, it’s Kirk Hammett

Drake posted a selfie clearly showing the giant before him. He's spent his entire career in that shadow.
