The Library of Congress is adding Tupac's "Dear Mama," along with 24 other recordings, to its National Recording Registry today for their cultural significance. The program coordinator said the song was chosen because it is "relatively tame." What, no Biggie?

So they're adding R.E.M., Tupac, and Bill Cosby (WTF?!) to the Library of Congress, but not Biggie Smalls. Below is the video for "Juicy," a song that is way more significant than some Tupac bullshit. Here is the entire list to be added today:
