TUPAC SHAKUR
To me he was the greatest rappers to ever live anyway…
Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), also known by his stage names 2Pac and briefly as Makaveli, was an American rapper and actor. Shakur has sold over 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. MTV ranked him at number two on their list of The Greatest MCs of All Time and Rolling Stone named him the 86th Greatest Artist of All Time. [6] His double disc album All Eyez on Me is one of the best selling hip hop albums of all time.
Well his child hood was bad with him never meeting his dad because he abounded Tupac when he was in his mom womb and to his mom being a crack fiend. To me that’s a pretty messed up childhood with all the crimes going on his neighborhood. Even though him growing up in a messed up world where people were racism was still alive a lot he still had a kind warming heart. When became a famous rapper he never forgot where he came from and went back and helped out his community a lot, helping out kids with no money and creating teen centers so they won’t go through the same hell he went through for them to have a future. Tupac has became an inspiration to a lot of people and also he was a hope to many people around the world. He showed a lot of solid morals in his songs like in his song “DEAR MAMA” shows to never disrespect the women that brought you to this world because you never what she was been through and another is “KEEP YA HEAD UP” that shows don’t disrespect women around you or anywhere because you don’t know if the have been raped or beaten always respect them and never hit one. One song I would recommend you hearing is "CHANGES" it will blow your mind everything his saying its true.
One of his famous poems is "AND 2MORROW"
"Today is filled with anger
fuelled with hidden hate
scared of being outcast
afraid of common fate
Today is built on tragedies
which no one wants 2 face
nightmares 2 humanities
and morally disgraced
Tonight is filled with rage
violence in the air
children bred with ruthlessness because no one at home cares
Tonight I lay my head down
but the pressure never stops
knowing at my sanity
content when I am dropped
But 2morrow I c change
a chance 2 build a new
Built on spirit intent of Heart
and ideals based on truth
and tomorrow I wake with second wind
and strong because of pride
2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep my
dream alive. "
Well to me he will always be a legend and legends never die....
