As we mark eleven years since the murder of Tupac Amaru Shakur let us remember the full man Tupac Shakur. Whenever the talk turns to Tupac he is always referred to as a hip hop icon or a ‘gangsta rapper’, seldom is he referred to as a strong young black man who thru his writings portrayed the life of young black men in America.
In his short life he had seen so many dis-appointments and fears. His poetry and music expressed that.
He seen the struggles of his mother Afeni Shakur, his father figure Mutulu Shakur, his god mother Assata Shakur, his god father Geronimo Pratt. He had seen his family being ‘targets’ of the government. He lived many struggles and still managed to rise above all and became the ‘Rose that Grew from the Concrete’.
People like to emphasis the ‘Death Row Era’ when they mention Tupac (2Pac); when really that was only nine months of this young mans life. The ‘gangsta’ side of Tupac draws attention and is used to portray him in a negative light. The side of this angry young man, who had had enough and really expressed his unhappiness thru this era in his music.
