French Montana Names 2Pac as Most Influential Rapper in His Career

After giving a list of the greatest rappers of all time, Moroccan-American rapper French Montana simply stated that the one who has marked him the most is the late 2PAC, American rapper, poet and actor assassinated on September 13, 1996 in Las Vegas.
During his appearance on Rock The Bells Radio on SiriusXM on Sunday, French Montana cited the great rappers of all time: Big Pun, Nas and The Notorious B.I.G. But the rapper who has marked him the most when he was still in Morocco is 2Pac. One of the late rapper’s songs that has pierced his heart is 2Pac’s "Ambitionz az a Ridah" from the iconic album All Eyez on Me.
To read:
"I was listening to it even though I didn’t even understand English. [...] I was listening to it in Africa. It’s the first album I bought. I felt his pain, his passion, his comeback, and I didn’t even understand English. I felt it was so powerful, so spiritual, and that it was bigger than music. That’s when I realized that music is the only language everyone speaks in the world."
