The life of Tupac Amaru Shakur was one full of drama and controversy. A hugely successful rapper, he broke records while he inspired millions. During his 5-year period of success, there was never a dull moment. He took the world on a wild ride, while also bringing to light ignored issues of our times. He has been compared to Elvis and John Lennon in the ways he was able to reach into people’s hearts and minds while changing music forever.
Tupac was an intelligent speaker and enlightened philosopher, surprising qualities coming from someone with such humble and disadvantaged beginnings. Whether a person hates him or loves him, they must admit that his influence was far-reaching, and will be staying around for quite a while. From the poverty of the inner-city ghettos of Harlem, to his fame and fortune in California, Tupac was a role model for many, and remains one to this day.
While relatively short this is a compelling, inspirational and encouraging read into the life and times of Tupac Shakur.
