Summary Of Tupac's Posthumous Live Tour

Improved Essays
Russell A. Potter in “Tupac’s Posthumous Live Tour,” makes copious claims leading to his argument: that holographic concerts by dead artists such as, Tupac Shakur isn’t a bright idea due to the fact that their presentation on the platform wouldn’t be genuine and overall it wouldn’t “have the complexity, or the humanity, to really compel our interests.” I disagree with Potter’s argument because a holographic concert by Tupac Shakur could potentially raise money for charity. For example, there was a holographic concert by Chief Keef on July 31st of this year, to raise money for a 13 year old boy who was run over by a car. Secondly, Tupac’s presence is kept alive and relevant. According to Rose Lilah, after Tupac’s appearance at Coachella, there

    When I think of the sentence where Tupac says in his poem “In the Depths of Solitude” “I exists in the depths of solitude / pondering my true goal” (1-2). I see it as him saying he is alone and, having to find what his purpose in life is. When we get time to think to ourselves we see things in a different light that we might not have seen with others around us. Tupac was a very successful rapper he in my opinion probably only got a couple of minutes alone. However like many others that are always surrounded by people they tend to be the loneliest of them all.…

    Jenee Desmond – Harris wrote an article called “Tupac and My Non-thug Life,” which was published in an online article called The Root.

This article is about how Desmond – Harris, as a young privileged half white, half black teenage girl, finds herself trying to embody Tupac after his death. The contradiction of this is that Desmond-Harris did not relate to Tupac in the ways of how they grew up. Desmond – Harris had yet to confront any of life’s hard edges when Tupac had passed.…
