Google Disrespects 2Pac by Mixing Him Up With Another Artist

by HHL JT

Google's algorithm has been pushing out some sloppy 2Pac Shakur results.

As of this moment, when you search for "2Pac" you get the bio for Zapp founder Roger Troutman.

There are some similarities between Troutman and Pac.  Like Pac, Troutman was shot to death, killed by his brother in a murder-suicide.   Troutman's funk sound was also a big influence on the West Coast Hip Hop scene that Pac was a part of.

As you can see, Google has mashed up Pac and Troutman's "born" and "assassinated" places and dates, putting Pac's locations with Troutman's timeline.

Why'd the algo go and Pac (and Troutman) like that?
