thats like saying Andy Warhol did nothing for American society.
-he contributed to the arts greatly through music, poetry, and film
-he was one of the first rappers to write personal yet positive rap-songs about society (i.e brenda's got a baby & dear mama)
-he was a pollitical figure, theres plenty of footage around of him making pro-black speaches.
-he contributed to his communities, so much so that he let people from the street stay in his house.
-he was a revolitionary..as in he changed the way both black and white people with in society think
-he was a brillant debater, and had the ability to convey his point across very strongly
thats not to say he was without flaw, but as he said he was like "the rose that grew from concrete"

kman i agree with you
2pac is an extraordinary individual in my opinion
i think he was very special and gifted in many ways
but the question teacher asked was to name people who brought MAJOR IMPACT to the society
and pac didnt accomplish that in my opinion
but as i said the teacher should get shot for sayin "he did nothing"

So far in my lifetime I can't think of anyone who's had a bigger impact on society that Tupac. I mean mohammed ali, frank sinatra, elvis and malcom X were never alive when I was. Pac is the GOAT no doubts.
And I think the teacher is right. 2Pac affected certain people - namely fans - but his effect on society was far from profound.
Elvis, while bringing rock & roll to the masses and thus helping to shape the next decades which has an effect on society to this day, should've been laughed at as well.
As should Frank Sinatra.

i mean the fact were still talking about him right now shows he had an impact.
Many People may change the world a little bit, Perhaps Hitler's grandfather, or Father, , Cousin, Friend etc... somehow provoked Hitler to become the man he became, (Not a good comparision, but i hope you see where im going with this).
Or For example A friend of Ghandi's, or a relative some how motivated Ghandi to be what he was... Same goes with every historical figure, Malcom X, MLK, FDR, Edison, Tesla, B. Franklin, Machiavelli, Napoleon, Charlemane, etccccc...
All Historical figures are people, just like me and you, the difference is the path they took in life, the way they observed the world, and from those observations made their own ideas, and got lucky enough to be able to be noticed. 2pac is no different, he observed, maybe had some interesting conversations growing up with people, and with that came his own ideas and he decided to express them, but also was lucky enough to express them. And with those ideas he had a talent, his personality. Just like other historical figures had talents, in mathematical senses, social senses, or warlike senses etc.
Right now he is not on the same level as many American or world House hold historical names, or even classroom orientated names; however, that doesnt mean that cant change, you do have to realize its only been 9 years after his death, it usually takes quite awhile for someones work to be appriciated (maybe 100years +) or to be able to see on the grander scale what that person did for society. Just like Historical figures were influenced, 2pac Has the same potential to influence a house hold named historical figure.

You're right but you fail to realize when most black people get some fame they shy away from stuff that might get them into trouble like when Pac was going and speaking at the Malcolm X dinners and just speaking out against the gov't so you asked what did he do he spoke up for alot of people meaning if you're not one it's all good but not just taking shit and dealing with it because it don't affect him cause he got money but saying the youth is in trouble and no one else is going to help them not the gov't or anyone we take the inniative to do so he gave the people who people say wouldn't be shit cause we got into trouble some hope so look at his AMBITION

sorry, but not to diss you but katherine gibbs is a dumb school. Half of ya teachers know shit. Tell your teacher to watch Tupac: Resurrection and he will know what a American Hero is. If I was you and I wouldn't do my report on 2pac, just because alot of upper class people hate him and its goin to be really hard to persuade them into believe causing you to have a bad grade.

Just wanna say that Pac sold an amazing amount of albums worldwide, even in countries on verge of war. He touched the world, learned that people were listening n relatin 2 his ideas.But he was still a soldier, takin in as much as he could get from the world. If Malcom x was killed at 25 he'd be known only as a street hustler. What did he achieve? T.H.U.G.L.F.E. an example of what ethics he had in mind. WHERES MUTULU WHEN U NEED HIM???HE'D EXPLAIN ALL THIS SHIT

what i want to say is that pac planted a lot of seeds like other music legends but the system (sheriff john brown) tried to kill them before they grow. a single human dont changing this or that but with his seeds (children) he can implement and reach one's goal.
now it depend on us (the seeds) how we gonna grow on his (pacs) message but are we already strong and old enough to understand and the right way? time will tell...
a fan called bob's music reggea-ghospel now i calling pac's music ghetto-gospel :thumb:
