His death had a big impact on the music industry, his family, and on those who were big fans of him. He sold over 75 million albums worldwide as of 2007, making him one of the best-selling music artists in the world. Rolling Stone Magazine named him the 86th Greatest Artist of All Time, so of course his death had a tremendous impact. Yes sometimes his lyrics spoke of real life experiences that occurred in the city life or the "real world", but I don't feel like he had an acceptable or admirable influence on children or people in general. And I quote from the article "In October 1994, two 17-year-old kids in Milwaukee killed a police officer in a sniper attack after claiming they had been "geeked up" by Shakur's music." I mean what's really behind the music?
ReplyDeleteI believe that the people involved in the killing had some kind of malice and hate for Tupac. I believe it was the gang as the article stated. They probably were seeking revenge or maybe they were just jealous of him.
This could have been avoided if some of his previous decisions involved more wisdom and prudence. Some of the decisions he made showed that there was no wise discretion involved.
The death of Tupac was huge. It affected the music industry, his family, his friends and his fans. Tupac was one of the good rappers out there. His work had meaning to it. I honestly love Tupac and his music. he talks about life and values and how people shouldn't feel down about themselves, how there is only one judge and that is God himself, how men should respect women and how violence can kill ones soul and mind. The people who were involved in Tupac's murder were probably gang members who were jealous of the success that Tupac has been getting because of all the music that he writes. The situation would have been avoided if Tupac never joined any gangs and used was smart enough not to get involved in bad things and bad people. We all make mistakes, but be careful what you do because it may cost your life.
ReplyDeleteThe death of Tupac was such a depressing story. It affected many people throughout the country such as his family, friends, his all time fans, and also the music industry. Tupac is likely known as a hige rapper back in the 1990's even till this very own day. Just like any other artist their work they have done have meaning to them and a story to it. His lyrics and works inspired others by been themselves. Throught those lyrics he talked about life and things that people go through in life. He rap about the social ills facing African-Americans, with songs like "The Streetz R Deathrow" and "Last Wordz". Though he wasn't living a pure life by making right choices. But i think mhe was only been himself at that time. I feel like his shooting was a only a since of jealously because of his success that he was making. But i can say this people are always going to be haters in this world. So i believed that is the reason of those shooting at him.

The death of Tupac was and still is a shocking story to read. It has affects several people such as his beloved fans and family. Since Tupac was a famous rapper and since several people in the past and now a days like rap, it would bring down the music industry since Tupac was apart of it. In the past, present and so on, now alot of things can be avoided because sometimes things happen for a reason, or it happens because it just happens. Tupac could have avoided it by not doing those things he had done in the past. Everyday in life, is a blessing.

The death of Tupac is still a big mystery today, and a shocking story to read or talk about. Tupac was a famous rapper, actor, record producer, poet, activist, and most of all a songwriter. He talked about life and values and how people should feel positive about themselves, how there is only one judge and that is God himself, how men should respect women and how violence can kill ones soul and mind..The death could have been avoided if Tupac had not joined any gangs and was smart not to get involved in negative things and negative people around him. We all make mistakes. But unfortunately, a careless mistake can be that serious to were you lose your life . He will always be remembered . He lives to be legend. He music and poems are extraordinary by the way..

The impact of Tupac's death on the music industry caused a lot of impact on a lot of people that he messed with and the same goes for "suge". What I think of him as a person and an artist is that he isn't someone good to look up to as a role model. He had committed a lot of crimes and caused a few people to take his lyrics in his songs literally. I think the person that is involved in his murder is "Suge" because he had messed with a gang. the tragic event of him dying can be avoided because if "Suge" hadn't messed with the gang Tupac wouldn't be dead he would of been alive.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Tupac made a big impact on music. Tupac always raps about how good life and God is. People have always liked his music and been influenced in different ways. To this day much people including myself still listen to his music and to the different meanings in his songs.He started a group called Thug Life but i do not think everyone liked that Tupac would make a group that mentions thugs so in the end he got killed. I think that if he would have just rapped about life and the hardships instead of about different gangs that he would still be alive. The people that I believed killed Tupac were people involved in gangs that didn't like him or were jealous.

Tupac's death was incredibly a huge impact on all his fans, still to this day it affects many fans of his. I believe Tupac was a great artist trying to send out a good of message in all of his songs.Although, many people mistreated his to songs & used them as a threat on others.Whoever, murdered tupac must have been a jealous person, or just someone trying to get revenge on him.Honestly, horrible events like this one are very hard to avoid because you never know who has your back even if you've known them for years people can surprise you. just have to have faith in god and believe in him.

The death of Tupac was what some people called a blessing and well a bad thing put bluntly. Some people said that he was a bad influence on kids and on the youth of the world. Others would say that he was a good reason and his music made inspiration. His death was actually already fortold in a way by all the people he hurt and all the hurt he took. After being shot 5 times and living i guess you could say that he was already living in limbo because he was supposed to die then. Maybe him surviving that was God's way of giving him time to repent. Me though I don't really see why it had to happen. He was practically asking for it. So yeah that was my opinion and really makes you wonder how someone dead can still be releasing music.

Tupac Shakur and his death made an huge impact on the music industry and also people that loved music. Tupac’s music motivated people such as the song “Keep Ya Head Up”, he talked about struggles in urban areas in songs such as “Brenda’s Got A Baby” and many other controversial topics. I think Tupac was and is the best lyrical artist to date. He talks about real subjects and things that need to be addressed and can also make a song that you can party to such as the song I Get Around. I honestly think that Suge Knight has something to do with his death. There’s so many conspiracies going around surrounding his and Notorious BIG death I just don’t know. I don’t know if this tragic event could have been avoided because I don’t know what the motive was but at the time there was a West coast and East coast rivalry. If it was because of that then I definitely could have been avoided because I think it was a dumb reason for them to want to kill someone. May Tupac Amaru Shakur soul Rest in Peace.

ReplyDeleteTupac Amaru Shakur was born on June 16, 1971. He was originally from Brooklyn, New York. What made Tupac special was his enormous talent. Tupac defined the hip-hop music scene, as we know it today. Tupac spent a lot of the time composing his own poetry and lyrics to launch his own career. Shakur was pronounced dead at on September 13, 1996. Six days earlier, the night of September 7th, 1996, Tupac was shot five times and was in jeopardy of his own life. After a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Tupac and friend Marion "Suge" Knight got into a fight with a man at the Hotel. While waiting for the light to turn green, a mysterious white Cadillac pulls alongside Knight’s car on the passenger side. Shots from a revolver start hitting Tupac who is sitting in the passenger seat. He is shot five times; Knight was only grazed in the back of the head once. Quickly the white Cadillac speeds off, and leaves the two men injured. Seven years later, in the year 2003 the murderer of Tupac is still unknown. However there are facts and theories that are aimed at suspects. Shakur's killer was never identified, but many believe that Orlando Anderson was capable of the murder. There is a weird twist in Tupacs death. Although he was shot five times, most fans and friends believe that Tupa is still alive till this day.

Tupac was born on June 16, 1971. His death impacted the music industry by taking out one of the greatest rappers of the time. I believe Tupac was a good artist because as others have said he was a different type of rapper. He was different because he put his values in his music unlike other rappers of the time who were just rapping about getting money and women. I believe it is possible that one of the crips members may have accidently shot Tupac due to the rushed form of the attack instead of killing his manager. I believe it could have been avoided if Tupac was with a different crowd of people because sometimes when we are with the wrong crowd we can get affected at times from whatever the rest of the crowd does.

death of Mr. Shakur's death was one that affected millions of fans so you can just imagine what it did to the music industry. Tupac's mother was the one who i felt most sorry for b know how hard it is for because i've seen how hard it is for a mother to lose a child especially when its a murder and justice hasn't been surved. i can really put an opinion on who i think murdered him because as far as i've been alive there is always a diffrent suspect i can never really come to a sure conclusion unless someone acually confesses. for all i know it could have been a close friend, an enemy, or even a crazed fan.
ReplyDeletebut to summon this all up TUPAC SHAKUR will never die and his legacy will live for ever through his music i the voice of rick ross : TUPAC'S BACK

ReplyDeleteTupac is an influential key to hip hop today. On September 7, 1996, Tupac was shot five times. While waiting for the light to turn green, a mysterious white Cadillac pulls alongside Knight’s car on the passenger side. The man in the passenger fired some gun shots at Tupac. The killer is supposedly a man named, Orlando Anderson, but that is not for certain. His death has influenced many rappers till today. Modern rappers now a days look up to Tupac. In conclusion, the death of Tupac was has influenced many.

Tupac Shakur was an incredible actor and rapper. One of the most famous ones as well. So when he was shot and killed it made a huge impact on society. Tupac was shot multiple times after leaving a boxing match in Las Vegas, Nevada in a black BMW with death row records founder Marion "sure" Knight. A white Cadillac drove by shooting into the car. Suge Knight was barely hit once in the head and survived. Tupac died in a hospital some days later. To this day the murderer hasn't been identified but it is said to be that Orlando Anderson, a member of the Los Angelas gang "Southside Crips". I think this affected the music business because a lot of the artist we have today used to look up to him. I personally thing he was a good artist. I also believe that his death could have been prevented in a sense because he was involved in other violent activities and gangs previous to this incident at the same time though we still don't know who did it.
ReplyDeleteAfter attending a boxing match actor and hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur was shot several times in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was currently in his BNW 250 with Marion Suge Knight founder of Death Row Records when a white Cadillac sedan pulled along them and fired into Tupacs car. Marion was only grazed in the head but Tupac was hit several times and died several days later in the hospital. Killed was never found or prosecuted but some believe it was one of the members from a Los Angela gang called the Southside Crips. After his death his sales ran through the roof, his record label was very affected by this as he couldn’t finish his last album. Fans where destroyed by his death, he was a very well understood artist. Despite his vulgar raping he had some pretty good life learning quotes. I never really heard his music as I was never found of him. But I have read his writing and it has inspired me.

Tupac had a big impact on the music industry because a great majority of people liked his music. His music had inspired many people and some songs had a good meaning to it. Other songs were filled with some violence that I don’t really agree on. Other than that Tupac just rapped about his life and to me he was one of the best rappers out there. The person that killed Tupac was probably someone he had conflict with in the past. That person or people probably wanted revenge. There are rumors today that he is still alive but I honestly don’t believe it. He could have avoided his death if he had made smarter decisions and thought of what the outcome or consequences to his decisions were. Dealing on the streets and being in gangs and such is very dangerous not only to him but also to his family.

Tupac Shakur was very important to the music industry especially hip hop, his songs seemed to motivate people and without his music hip hop is now seen different. I think Tupac's songs really related to people's feelings and as a person he seemed very independent and encouraging. He felt as if everyone should be respected in the same way. I think it is a possibility that Orlando Anderson may have killed Tupac when he was attacking Suge Knight because Suge and group of people from Death row records attacked Anderson earlier that day. I think this tragedy could have been avoided if Surge and his group never attacked Anderson, if they didn't then Anderson probably wouldn't have started shooting at them killing Tupac in the process.

I think that the impact of Tupac Shakur's music on people in the world is both good and bad. I think that it is good because some of his songs have a good message and because most people liked his music. I also think that it is bad. I think this because Tupac Shakur's music made two 17- year-olds become "geeked up"amd kill a Milwaukee police officer in October 1994. My opinion on Tupac Shakur as an artist is very good. My opinion on his as a person is bad. This is because i think he could of baeen a better person and stopped violence and gangs or atleast stayed away from it. I think that Orlando Anderson was responsible for the murder of Tupac Shakur. I also think that Tupac Shakur's death could of been avoided if did not participate in any of the gangs he was in or associate himself with people who are in gangs.

Tupac Shakur a famous actor and hip hop artist was shot on September 7, 1996 after attending a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon. He was riding in a black BMW with Marion “surge” Knight, when a white Cadillac pulled beside them and fired into Shakurs car. Knight was only gazed in the head meanwhile Shakur was shot several times. He died on September 13, 1996 in the hospital. Shakurs death was a major impact on the music industry because many teenagers and even young adults loved and would listen to his music constantly. To me Shakur was in things that maybe he shouldn’t have been in and did various things that aren’t considered well such as abusing a young woman in a hotel room but not only that maybe if he wasn’t involved in other bad thing his death coukld have been avoided and he wouldn’t have been shot several times by the gang Southside Crips.

ReplyDeleteTupac Shakur born Lesane Parish Cooks on June 16, 1971 was murdered after attending a boxing match in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was in a black BMW with Death Row Records founder, Marion “Suge” Knight, when a white Cadillac pulled aside and shot Tupac several times and killed him. When Tupac died, his death caused great sorrow to the world he was an amazing artist and produced many songs that impacted others. In 1995, Tupac was shot at five times during a robbery at a New York recording studio which he thought Notorious B.I.G was behind and was very mad at him. Therefore, Tupac slept with B.I.G’s wife Faith Evans and this made Biggie mad. Despite, the east coast-west coast rivalry that was between him and Notorious B.I.G he still continued to make great music until he was murdered. My opinion on Tupac is that, yes some of his songs/lyrics were violent and inappropriate. However, he also made inspirational music and music that told stories others could relate to like “Dear Mama” which spoke about how much he loved his mom and how we should do the same. I honestly don’t know who it could’ve been involved in the shooting because I wasn’t there but I think it was someone on the east coast. It could have been avoided if his music wasn’t so violent and talked about specific people and if Tupac and B.I.G didn’t have any conflicts between each other.
ReplyDeleteTupac was a very inspirational rapper to many. His lyrics like what was spoken through his songs was very deep and full of meaning. The way he rapped opened a door for all of the upcoming rappers trying to find a way to make it in the industry. In my opinion Tupac was an amazing rapper even though i dont really know his songs but the one i do know im in love with it (Dear Mama) that is my favorite song especially on mothers day. I think the the murder of Tupac is the crips fault because he was involved with alot of bad things and so where they. i dont think this could of been avoided because of what he was involved with.
ReplyDeleteTupac Shakur is probably one of the most commonly known hip hop artist. He was a big inspiration to many other rappers and/or artist in the music business. We was widely known, and his popularity and music are still around to this day. His music spoke and has inspired many other people, and I think that his unfortunate death affected all his fans and other artists around him. Besides being widely known for his music, we was known for being a "bad boy" as well. I believe that his death was caused by himself for being in other violent situations that lead to his own death. I believe the end to his life involved possibly people he would mess around with himself. Although he got himself into trouble, his death still lives on to this day and his music is still heard, which shows his sucess as an artist.

In my opinion Tupac was the best rapper. Many rappers nowadays STILL look at him as an inspiration, even though he had a lot of violent songs on the other hand he had a lot of touching sounds too and taught us a lot. like tell us '' life goes on '' or even the poems that he wrote ''the rose that grew from concrete'' it showed us that good things can come from unexpected places. Yes, we all have our defaults and I'm sure we all get anger at time, and music was just his way of expressing his inner anger. I also think that the murder of Tupac had to be gang affiliated, he might have been a blood because he wore a lot of red and they had beef with crips so that might have been a huge factor. Maybe Anderson was jealous of Tupac. Honestly i don't think this event could've been avoided, everything happens for a reason. He still lives on to this day, forever will he be a legend in the music industry.

Tupacs death definatley had a huge impact on the music industry being one of the first mainstreem rappers to reach that kind of fame and one of the best whoever lived. he changed the way people saw the music with his honest and yet harsh lyrics. i think he was a great person and artist and left an amazing impact on not only music but our nation. yes people can criticize that some of his ideas and songs were not filled with good moral but he was just expressing himself and speaking his mind. i think that anderson was most probably hid murderer. it was possible for it to be avoided but it would've eventually happened due to the jealousy alot of people had towards his success and his strong involvement in crime and gangs.

No matter any type of situation you may be in I don’t think anyones life should be taken. Tupac was a one of the best rappers. His death affected many in the music industries and as well as his family and fans. His music was alittle inappropriate and violent but I respect the fact that he kept it real. Tupac wrote about his life and what he went through, and the hard trials he went through in his hard life. The murder of Tupac I would honestly have to say I think was gang affiliated, do to the fact he always use to wear red “bangin bloods” Some people hate on how people make it in life, and they want to take it away from them. Unfortunately everything happens for a reason, the best rapper was killed in 1993. May he continue to RestInPeace! Your music forever lifes with you, still bringing a impact to the young society today because his music speaks the truth!

On September 7, 1996, Shakar attended a Mike Tyson boxing match. After the match he had a confrontation with Orlando Anderson and later that evening was shot to death in a car. Tupac Shakar is one of the most complex individuals in recent history. It was hard to believe that a man of his intellect evolved into the brazen and harsh entertainer. I believe that Shakar's conflicted soul was very intelligent but with a dark side. His lyrics had a message in cursing or street talk. His particular blend led to murders, but any how, people don't have the right to kill others based on their preference race or beliefs. Whether one agrees or disagrees, a life was cut short in hail of gun fire 15 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThe death of Tupac was huge and is still a mystery. He was well-known through out the world. His death was very unexpected and affected many fans and people in the music industry. Even though he is dead Tupac's music will live on forever and he will be remembered always as one of the best rappers. No one deserves to die and even though Tupac's music led people to become aggressive and kill others, no one's life deserves to be cut short. He was very influential to other inspiring rappers and he became one of the most famous rappers of all time. However, he was also apart of a bad crowd and paid certain consequences. 15 years after his death, Tupac i still remembered and I believe that his music will live on forever.
ReplyDeleteThe death of Tupac is still a big mystery today, and a shocking story to read or talk about. Tupac was a famous rapper, actor, record producer, poet, activist, and most of all a songwriter. He talked about life and values and how people should feel positive about themselves, how there is only one judge and that is God himself, how men should respect women and how violence can kill ones soul and mind..The death could have been avoided if Tupac had not joined any gangs and was smart not to get involved in negative things and negative people around him. The only possible person I think done this honestly could've been some Die hard Notorious B.i.G fan. Point is, he is the world's greatest rapper and forever be missed and loved. I wish he was still here with us now.
ReplyDeleteTupac Shakur made such an impact on the music industry that he will always be remembered. His death didn't only affect his family and friends but also his fans. Til this day Tupac still has many fans. Tupac as a person wasn't involved in the right things and the fact he was involved in gangs and hanging around the wrong crowd affected his life, therefore his death could've easily been avoided. If Tupac would've just focused on his greatest talent in the music industry, he would probably still be here today as the greatest rapper alive just as many people wish.
ReplyDeleteTupac Shakur was a good person at heart to me and a very good artist who rapped about everyday struggles in the hood. But he also was a little bit of a trouble maker who put him own self in trouble with his violent decisions. The lost of Tupac in the industry was big he had good lyrics that meant something unlike many rappers today. When he died a lot of people were hurt and shocked he had one of the most devastating deaths in the music industry. Who killed Tupac who knows everybody says someone different I say i don't know but could this death have been avoided yes and no. No if it was for the revenge of the attack in the lobby because back then if someone jumped you u got them back by killing or hurting them the same way they did to you there was no let's talk it out and it still isn't. Yes it could have been avoided if it was because of the whole east coast west coast rivalry because that was stupid altogether. That rivalry was not a friendly one like with football teams it was if you came to the west you got shoot if you came to the east you got shoot it could have been a competition between which coast had the best rapper but it went beyond that it went to violence.
ReplyDeleteTupac is one of the greatest rappers that came across in the music industry. His death really affected the music game and his fans. honestly i think it was the crips fault that he died because i mean yea Tupac didnt have the best morals or anything and was into the wrong things but doesnt mean you have to die from rival groups. I do think this could of been avoided if Tupac was into good things and could of stayed clean. Tupac made a very big difference in the rap game, from his flow to the lyics it was like poetry and actually meant something unlike now when its about girls and what not.
ReplyDeleteMy oppinnion on Tupac Shakur's death is that he sould not of died the way he did . Even though he got himself in trouble before his shooting i do not believe that was a reason to kill him. His death had a major affect on the music industry and also on his fans. After his death one of his fans had a police officer killed by a sniper attack while claiming that their "Geeked Up" by Shakur's music. I think Tupac Shakur as a person was great artist wise but as a person i think he just made many wrong decisions. Im not really sure who was involved in his murder but i think it could of been a gang member or someone who he may of gottenin trouble with. I do not think that this event could have been prevented becase i think if the person who murdered him really wanted him dead he or she would have done eveyting in their power to make sure he was dead.
ReplyDeleteFirst I would like to say R.I.P to the greatest rapper that ever lived! Tupac was such an amazing human being from my perspective. Still in today I sit and just turn my iPod or pop in one of his movies and relax. The loss of 2pac to the music industry was a big impact. Pac was such a powerful and loving in the industry. His music told stories and gave incouragement to those who struggled. In my opinion I always saw Tupac as an outer most loving and honest person. He was 100% real in all hesaid and had an amazing personality. Honestly I don't know who killed Tupac but I always never trusted Suge Knight. How could he have been there and not see anything?! But I know Lord Knows. The death of Tupac I don't if it could have been prevent maybe it was his time to be gone. He always spoke and did forsee that he was going to live long. To end this blog I like to sayy R.I.P Tupac Amaru Shakur My Bae I Love You&& Your Leagacy Shall Live On :-) <3! #C-Block!
ReplyDeleteTupac's death was shocking to all of his friends, family, and fans and has affected them deeply. Even though Tupac was involved in wrong things, many people still loved him and accepted him for who he was. Due to the gangs that he was involved in, he got shot several times and died at the hospital a few days later. If he wasnt involved in those gangs, his death could have been avoided. He was one of the best rappers in the business and still could have been till this day. He will always be remembered. In my opinion, Tupac was a very good rapper. People to this day, still listen to his music.

Tupac Shakur death had a major impact on the music industry. In addition to his career as a rap artist, he was also an actor. The themes of most of Tupac's songs are the violence and hardship in inner cities, racism, other social problems, and conflicts with other rappers during the East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry. My opinion of Tupac as a Person is that even though he was a great rapper he wasn' t that great a person. In 1992 he was charged with killing a child at an outdoor concert. I think that it was another rapper that killed him but I don't think it could have been prevented because of the rivalries between different people.
ReplyDeleteTupac was a man that was given the world, but just didn't quite know what to do with it. It seemed as though he was too smart for his own good. His death did to the music industry what the John F. Kennedy assassination did to America. It wasn't the loss of an artist; it was the loss of a leader. My opinion of tupac is that he was an intellegent and gifted man, yet he could never get the fighter mentality out of himself. This was why he remains one of the greatest rappers to ever live, but that may also be the reason why he's not with us today. I do believe that Orlando Andrson was responsible for Tupac's death because he was a gang member, and gang members have a history of retaliating after losing a fight. This could have been avoided, in my opinion, because i feel as though the fight after the boxing match didn't have to take place. Thigns like this are the reason why people say think before you act. Because you never know what could happen.
ReplyDeleteTupac's death not only affected the music industry, but it affected the whole world as well. He changed the music industry when e first started and it changed forever after he died. Hip-hop changed when he started, and it changed after he died. Many rappers and recording artists still look up to him and are inspired by his music today. I think Tupac was a great artist. He stood for what he believed in and was an extremely intelligent man. All songs have meanings and messages that the artists are trying to get out. Tupac had a lot of songs like that. I believe that Orlando Anderson, or someone connected to him was involved with the murder. I believe that no tragic event can be avoided, only prolonged. Because of Tupac's strong lyrics and strong attitude many people were probaby offended and were out to kill him. Either way, his death changed many things about music today.
ReplyDeletewhen tupac shakur was shot, it was a wake up call, and his death, to many people inspired by his music, was tragic. People were so inspired by his music, so much so that they would murder other people just because shakur said it in a song. Even though he did mention these kinds of lyrics, its not his fault. Its the parents fault and they should know not to let his/her child listen to lyrics like that. I dont think shakur would have been shot if he wasnt so reckless. In his album he was telling everyone he was in danger and nobody was listening. its funny how people would only listen to the bad lyrics instead of the ones that actually mean something.

AS I READ THIS STORY OF TUPAC SHAKUR, IT STATES TUPAC WAS SHOT IN HIS CAR. WHEN THIS HAPPEN IT ANIT ONLY AFFECTED THE MUSIC INDUSTRY IT ALSO AFFECTED THE PEOPLE THAT USE TO LOVE TO LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC. WHEN PEOLPE KNOW PAC JUMPS ON A TRACK THEY KNOW HE WILL TALK OF WHATS REAL, SONGS LIKE LIFE GOES ON,CHANGES,KEEP YOUR HEAD AND MANY MORE. HE WILL ALSO TALK ABOUT OUR WOMENS IN HOW WE NEED TO TREAT THEM. I REMEMBER HEARING THIS IN PAC INTERVIEWS

Tupac made a huge impact in music and has influenced many artists of today. He also has influenced people around the world and young people growing up. He rapped about real life problems and controversial topics that a lot of people related to. Unfortunately it also offended many people. I think that the people who killed Tupac might have been from a rival gang that did not like him. It could have also been some one he hurt in the past seeking revenge. He had many good opinions, and talked a lot about how you should treat women right. If you listen to his songs you can realize that a lot of the topics are about God and loving life. Sadly not everyone understands that and it made a lot of people angry.
ReplyDeleteTupac continues to be one of my favorite rappers. He sang with a lot of pain and went through a very tough childhood. His mother was an addict but he still loved her. There was room for all of them to succeed and live long lives. The misunderstanding of the gangs led to his death. Tupac will be remembered in history as one of the best rappers. Tupac had very realistic music which involved relationships with women and the way people should treat each other.
