12832373, JUNE 1-6 7-1, the day...HBD To Tupac Amaru Shakur

Instead of posting a song I wanted to post this video of an interview he gave. The analogy he used to describe how our social condition had gotten to this point (at the time of this interview) compared to the previous generation was spot on

Later found out that Madonna was in the room while he was doing this interview and when he used the "starving person" analogy she started tearing up according to the person who did the interview because the point Tupac made was so profound

12832409, Not sure how much of this is all true, but it almost makes his death

seem to be pointless, being that it most likely came from Orlando Anderson/Baby Lane. And even if it didn't, the LAST video we of Pac is him jumping "another brother," which is contrary to everything ht originally stood for.

Pac was a Poets Poet and he changed the game.the cat had words, was a movement and good for that paper route. industy stayed eating off him left and right.

the high amounts of paranoia and rebellion.

I need to check out some of his posthumous stuff still. I don't know how that Loyal To The Game album was, I listen to it later.
