Tupac Amare Shakur was his name. Entertainment and enlightening words was his game. Tupac would have been 37 yesterday. What does that mean? That means we might not have had the Master P/Cash Money movement in music, we might not have had the break-up and collapse of real music. Sure Pac's lyrics were sometimes violent and brash, but so is the world that we live in. The truth hurts sometimes and at the time, 2Pac was not afraid to let it show to death. Spitting at the camera, doing the George Jefferson walk out of the court room. Not his brightest moments. But there was said to be a change in 2Pac towards the end. Maybe it was maturity setting in, maybe it was the power that was in his hands as a result of East Coast - West Coast battles. All we are left with now are maybes and Soulja this and Young that. (Memo to all new rappers - please get a new name: All of the Young and Lil's are taken. THanks!)
