feelings of love, hate, fear, etc. or different things. In class we read to poems which were "Mother to Son" by Langston Hughes and "THE ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE" by Tupac Shakur. Throughout both poems we have seen a…

Tupac Shakur Tupac shakur is a legendary figure in rap and is considered the best. Although some doubt his stance in the rap culture. I’m going to show you why he is a legend. He was one of the most influential rappers of all time and is widely considered the greatest of all time. He faced many obstacles from the rivalry with east coast rapper Biggie Smalls and the police/media. There were obstacles but he was helped by fellow west coast rappers such as, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. He had many…

As I read Michelle Malkin’s article, it got me thinking. Will finding books or poems of interest of the younger generation actually benefit the students in school? Malkin argues that choosing Tupac Shakur’s work instead of the sonnets of Shakespeare is a terrible mistake. She criticizes Tupac giving him a name such as, “the drug-dealing, baseball bat-wielding, cop-hating, Black Panthers-worshiping, convicted sexual abuser who made a fortune extolling the "thug life".” Her opinion is rather harsh…

Lesane Parish Crooks, we all know him as the great Tupac Amaru Shakur. He was born on June 16, 1971 in Harlem New York.

The Resurrection of a Legend Not many teens are able to say they were stage dancers and turn into a great rapper, but Tupac Shakur can. Tupac started his career at the age of 17 years old. He was a stage dancer for a well-known rapper and given a chance to rap a verse in a song. After he rapped his verse, many people took notice of his unique rhymes, and he began to make more music on his own. He unfortunately died at the age of 25. I would bring him back from the dead because he accomplished…

I grew up in a neighborhood where laughter, smiles, happiness, hope and police presence was just as rare as finding a four-leaf clover. Naturally, given the circumstances, I grew up witnessing fights and listening to hip hop music, where the theme of a song often talked about getting revenge on a certain individual or group. Tupac Shakur once said “Revenge is like the sweetest joy” and until not too long ago, it was a quote by which I lived by. Much like Hamlet, who got told by his father's…

noticed that Tupac survived 7 days after he was shot. He was shot on the 7th of September and managed to stay alive until the 13th. That is seven days if you include the day he was shot. Others also notice that he was officially announced dead at 4:03 p.m. As we know, four plus three equals seven. Tupac, aka Makaveli, died at the age 25. His age of death is another key factor that relates two numbers adding up to 7. Two plus five happens to equal seven. Another coincidence that is suspect to…

off the scientific aspect of the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Before I start talking about the muders, I am going to talk about scientific aspects of crimes.
