The courage, arrogance, self-reflection, rhymes sometimes seemed contradictory born of a man who knew his days were numbered. The intensity of Pac spit life lived and loved (and hated) pour in small historic letter he wrote.
Today, the legend of Tupac is still growing. Many still cling to the idea that he was alive (in Cuba, of course), Newport in one hand, Heineken in the other runs the studio, and still taking mixtapes.
His fans, sorry, fans of Pac-treat as a modern prophet. In many ways, and I was. Open your eyes to the dangers of teen pregnancy, the fate of political prisoners, and the dangerous reality of the street.
If hip-hop I grew up in a generation influenced Pac. Years after his death, many young (not even born in 96) are Pac fans, finding solace in his words as if he were alive to witness firsthand.
As Miles Davis, Coltrane, Run DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, Muddy Waters, Billie Holiday, and many others before him, people follow the will, the study to celebrate and enjoy the experience Tupac Amaru Shakur was for future generations.
