The world lost a young man, poet, leader, don't just label him as a black panther.
anonymous... "musical genious, poet, actor, activist, and most prolific; a great leader".
call him what you will, no words, no documentaries, no books, movies or songs will ever completely capture the essence of what this great man has accomplished for the "Free World".

i never felt the strength of the impact he had on mainstream USA til this summer. I remember going to New York about 12 years ago or something, and black people lead the same lives as dogs. There hardly were any beggars in the streets, hardly any homeless people, no slums or ghettos or gangsters, none of that. We walked through the streets of brooklyn at 2 in the morning never feeling like we were gonna get mugged or something. Tupac, and his strong influence on media, changed the way black people are treated by the government. Tupac shed light onto their struggle, and made those who were ignorant to it aware of the black communities plight. No one can deny Tupacs influence on today's African-American community
california love.. dum dum dah aywa aywa ;p~..
Are we paying respect to someone who constantly encouraged and promoted 1) violence and crime 2) drug use 3) immoral behavior 4) women abuse and disrespect, are we talking about this guy??
Please let us not take matters out of context, he was no hero…he was just another greedy bastard who did exactly what he was told to do by the record company in return for monetary reward, so let us not make a martyr out of him…
Is the world a better place without him? Yes most certainly it is…therefore logically I’m am happy he is dead.
truthseeker... i dont see his work from the same angle as you. yes his lyrics were aggressive, immoral, violent, all that good stuff.
in my personal point of view, he was merely shedding some light on what life for a black person in the usa was like. he didnt create the hostile environment that he lived in, but merely described what was going on. he brought the attention of those who were ignorant to the bitter truth through his music.
anyways its only a matter of personal opinion. his music always sounds good to my ears no matter how crude, or what the message behind it is :)
i actually liked him better after he died :( I think his death made him more famous :). RIP Tupac!
Tupac Shakur is the best thing to ever come out of the music industry.
His style, his lyrics, his messages were all very strong.
Dodo I love you for this post.
