i dont think he wil fake his death! and i read the story on how he died iight sooo u people need to go some where with that!!
Tupac Shakur was one of the greatest rappers of all time in my opinion. He had great rapping skills and was able to hold onto a beat as well as any rapper anyone can name. I agree that there are plenty of rappers out there who surpass his skills, yet he still stands out. Why? Because he had a message to spread that was different than everything else that was coming out at the time. The majority of rap was about glorifying violence, bragging about money, sex, lifestyle, etc. This is EXTREMELY visible in mainstream rap today, which is why the industry is shit. Tupac understood the problems faced by under privelaged people growing up and living in the ghettos of America. He sang about their problems, hoping to raise enough concern to create some initiative to change the situations faced by these people. Tupac knew where he grew up, he understood it, persevered and escaped, yet he never forgot who he was, he represented for all those voiceless lowest-class people who the world will never see.
Best rapper that has ever lived. He had extraordinary intellectual and creative power. No question. oz
definitely a fantastic rapper and a mad poet.. he had good skills.. of course he had his gangsta rap side... at the same time he wrote about the reality of life and what he went through... 'hit em up' is probably one of the best diss ever in music history... and then you got 'changes', 'dear mama'... he was real versatile.. i have to admit that the mainstream rap music scene is pure shit... there is nothin good out... this is when you dig up the underground ish... there are rappers out who make good stuff... mos def, talib kweli, k-os, common, nas, dilated peoples, black eyed peas, rascalz etc etc... there's this group called da grassroots from toronto.. they made a cd a few yrs ago called 'passage through time'.. one of the best hip hop albums ever... very hard to find cuz they only cut a few hundred copies.. rap music hasn't died... there's always a few ppl who are makin it cuz they love it... anywayzz.. enuf of my shpiel..

Some of his poetry... THE SUN AND THE MOON Your ways r similar 2 the rays of the sun Warm 2 many but 2 strong 4 some The more u R needed the brighter u shine Watched 4 2 long and your brilliance will blind The eyes of mortal men who threaten u with doom They regret 2 c u set but it is time 4 the moon THINGS THAT MAKE HEARTS BREAK Pretty smiles deceiving laughs and people who dream with their eyes open lonely children unanswered cries and souls who have given up hoping The other thing that breaks hearts R fairy tales that never come true and selfish people who lie 2 me selfish people just like u I CRY Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on. If I had an ear to confiding, I would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. The world moves fast and it would rather pass by. Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why. AND TOMORROW Today is filled with anger fueled 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 knawing 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 ~Peace
i have to agree 2pac was one of the best rappers and still is today! I also have to agree that he was real about what he rapped and wrote. he wasnt about sex and all that bad stuff.he was about life and what goes on in it.I think that 2pac is up in heaven looking down at all his fans that he still ahs today and hes saying thank you!!
ADAM Please, check out Tupac's book of poetry called "The Rose that Grew from Concrete." I think this is before he became a rap star, and I know that it contains no cursing, but heartfelt poetry. Tupac is considered great because he was one of the first big rap stars. He wrote meaningful lyrics instead of his "bling bling." And a rapper who performs with a live band always gains a few extra points. Suggested songs: Dear Mama, Pain

no.. do you ever do any rap thingies (im sorry, im just not into that kinda music a much, and i dont know what you call it. ).. becuase you write... or however you put it.. and you are good at it.. i was wondering if you did any fan type stuff.. ahh. n/m.
fan stuff. lmao. Sorry, nighty, I still have no idea what you mean. It's a funny phrase though. I probably do lots of fan stuff and don't even know it. lol.
2Pac the artist Well, as it turns out I was thinking about 2Pac and have been listening to All Eyez on Me (his double album and considered by some critics to be his "magnum opus", if you will) regularly for a little while now... strange since I first listened to it in the 6th grade, which got me listening to rap, which I have largely ceased to do... 2Pac excepted. Even then, I appreciated his ability to hold a beat; his "attack"; an unmistakable voice. Yesterday afternoon, the line "Dear God return me to my essence" (off "I Ain't Mad at Cha" - dig the jazz piano in the background) made me consciously reflect on 2Pac as artist... and lines like " 'Black Power' is what we scream as we dream in a paranoid state/ and our fate is a lifetime of hate" (Only God Can Judge Me - powerful, immediate; there are many more like this) helped confirm this belief... At times, when reading some of his poetry and listening to All Eyez on Me, I imagine I see Tupac's frustration with the limitations of his art... trapped not only in the game, but also by his own means of artistic expression. Or perhaps he speaks of the irony and frustration of Black life in America (which I don't pretend to understand, bear in mind)... From what little I've seen and heard, Tupac was one of those artists who was able to relate to "the masses," to tap into the soul-current of a people (as serious artists do)... perhaps in the same way that Kurt Cobain spoke to his audience... To substantiate this viewpoint one would have to read his poetry, listen to his music, perhaps watch his movies... and express oneself clearly and poetically (like a Nabokov or a tiassa Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! ) to sway the hearts and minds of one's readers... and it won't be me writing this particular thesis paper - and if you don't understand, well I suppose that art is usually controversial... EDIT: Or maybe you're not in his intended audience... EDIT: Yes, I know that the two lines I quoted may demonstrate what I perceive as art rather than anything relevant to 2Pac... I wanted to convince you to "keep an open mind," whatever that's supposed to mean, and however you're supposed to do that... peace
for the person who sed ''fuck u 2pac'' ok for the hater that sed ''fuck u 2pac'' well that shit was just fucked up!! U had no rite saying that shit.Just because u dont like him dont mean u got to go poppin shit about him!!! well 2pac was one of the greatest rappers that ever lived!!!!!! well he was actually the best!!!! his songs meant something and they werent about drugs,sexs and all that other shit!! iight so if u gonna pop shit then make shore ur facts are rite!!!!! oh ya one more thing 2pac was about something unlike u!!!!
Re: for the person who sed ''fuck u 2pac'' First off, learn to spell. Second, cursing doesn't help you prove your point. Third, people have different opinions. And fourth, his songs did contain multiple drug references and all songs are open to interpertation (Even "Dear Mama" has a drug reference).
