2pac - icon

2pac ... i was surprised to know was shot dead close to 10 years ago while searching for one of his songs...aged jus 26 i believe or mayb less.... people say that he used to tell hsi pals prophetically that he won't last to see his 30th birthday

he was one of those who spoke aloud abut the atrocities and apartheid that still runs in the minds of US administration, his words against the police is like gunfire...ironically it even inspired two youth to go and kill a cop ..yeah in their own words they said that makaveli s song inspired them to shoot the police.

there are people who can move you with their words, look up n take notice, but in one of his fans words " 2pac makes u pick up a gun and fight.." ..that is influence ...violent yes...but then you need to have something different inside of you to play with people s minds.

magic, thts what 2pac is to me... he may never have shown a clublike or sparsely shown his softer side (changes!) , but when you have as dramatic a childhood as he had you can seldom portray anything else than what he did, thts what being real was all about...tupac was as real as they come, there was no fantasies no mincing lullabies to hot whores he said what he saw, and said it in a way you cannot ignore.

when the then vice president said records like 2pacalypse and artists like 2pac have no place in our society pac released strictly 4 my N.I.G.G.A.Z ...talk about being in ur face!

there are many who beilieve pac faked his death...that he is still alive....he has given them enough reasons to believe so ...whether dead or alive 2pac will stay in my mind as a light ...he may have had his share of bad habits, bad names, he was after all a thug... but a man i believe has his destiny fulfilled if he can in someway affect people he d never even met ... and that 2pac did ... half a globe across ....10 years since he was shot...

respect!
