Tupac amaru Shakur, to me he is one of the greatest rapper that ever lived. He didn’t rap about the same things over and over, that I see in today’s rap. He not only and actor and rapper and poet. He rapped about his life, the struggles with his mom to the good in his life. Many of his raps were relatable to the listeners they knew where he was coming from. One of my favorite songs from Tupac (or 2pac how some people write it) is Changes. I don’t know if Obama copied the slogan, but the song is about all the bad in the world and how we as people have to change it. Guns, war, drugs and racism, that we need to change it and be better people. He personally went through all of it. His mother was addicted to crack, and he a former gang member. What I like is that he rapped about issues and the good things in life, not like today’s rap. In today’s rap it is all about woman, cars, and alcohol. That is why I loved his music it brought you to the real world, and to me Tupac was taken from the world to soon. His songs vary from gangster life all the way to an ode to his mother and the hard times he and his sister went through. Then another thing his music appealed to so many people, he was the Elvis of the 90s for rap. He was a lyrical genius when it came to his songs or poems, and that’s why he is one of the greatest rappers.
