Sebastian Telfair recalls how he cried for an hour when he learned about the death of rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996. Despite being a young child at the time and having never met Tupac, Sebastian feels a deep connection with the artist. He further highlights Tupac's influence on the culture and his untimely death’s impact on fans by recalling the feeling of loss when news of Tupac’s death broke on TV. He even expresses a belief that if Tupac had a strong community like Coney Island, he might still be alive, suggesting the rapper's transient lifestyle contributed to his feeling of isolation. By relating it to his own life, Sebastian underlines the importance of community, likening his return to Coney Island during personal tribulations to seeking a safety net.
