RIP



















Today, September 13th, marks the ten year anniversary since the murder of Tupac Shakur aka 2Pac aka Makaveli. Tupac was a rap artist, an actor and an incredible poet. His songs and words spanned to many demographics, sending messages out on anything from growing up in the hood, politics, racism, fueds with other artist, love and family. Known to be one of the most incredible rappers of all time, he has been ranked by many fans, critics, and industry insiders as the greatest; even accomplishing a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling rap/hip-hop artist ever. Northeastern University, NYU, University of Pennsylvania, University of California (Berkeley) and Harvard have all provided courses and lectures on Tupac's work and the impact of his words, even after his death a decade ago.


I remember back in high school, every weekend before I went out, I absolutly could not get ready without hearing two songs of his songs:



America's Most Wanted ft. Snoop Dogg
Hit em Up



Don't know why I liked them, they just always go me pumped! Anyway, in memory of this modern day prophet, send me comments on what Tupac means to you ... Haters? Don't bother.
