Tupac Shakur

Tupac was the best rapper that lived. Of course that is my opinion, and there are many more in the world. But I just can’t help myself in saying that. Tupac was born June 16, 1971(1971-06-16) East Harlem, New York. He is also known as 2Pac or Makaveli. His mother an original Black panther and his father was one of FBI’s Most Wanted Fugitives.
Tupac talked about all the real problems and tragedies in the world. He was as real as any person that I’ve ever met. Of course he talked about being in the streets, and how the street life was, but most of his lyrics talk about the struggle he and his family had to endure throughout his life.

Tupac has sold 75 million albums to date and is one of the best-selling music artists in the world. He was a promising actor, and also a social activist. Although some people portray him as a black male who had no respect for the police, and a gang-banger, most of his raps were about him growing up amid violence, hardship, racism, and much more.

Some people say that Tupac only raps about selling drugs, shootings, and how bad he hates the police, but in reality he tells us how the street life is, and how he is trying to get away from it. I don’t think that he wanted to harm or hurt anyone. He just wanted the best for himself. He became the target of lawsuits, and experienced legal problems. But to me, he was just speaking the truth and a lot of people couldn’t take it.

Tupac spoke his life through many of his songs. One of my favorite songs from him was Changes. He was telling how there should be a lot of changes throughout the world. In one of his songs he quoted” I see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself is life worth living should I blast myself? I'm tired of bein' poor & even worse I'm black my stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch!” in this he was just telling how hard the world is and how far people have to go just to be able to provide for their families.

In another song he quotes” Now ain't nobody tell us it was fairNo love from my daddy cause the coward wasn't there. He passed away and I didn't cry, because my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger.” This part is telling how it was hard for a single mother top raise a boy. Today over half of children today will live without their father throughout their life. This just shows the relation that Tupac had with a lot of people in the world today.

Now I saying that Tupac is the best rapper that ever lived is in my own opinion. But I have a lot of evidence to prove that he was. And I’m not alone with this. I won’t be the last person to say that. And I’m not the first!!!

So in conclusion, I am going to forever say that Tupac is the best rapper that lived and still is today. I would have loved to meet Tupac, but that task is impossible, so I guess the closest I will get to that is remembering him through his words.

RIP
