Tupac (2Pac) Poetry & His Politics
Pictures taken from the Tupac Peace Garden at the "Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts" located just outside Atlanta, Georgia.
Tupac was very politically conscious at a very young age, which was evident in his lyrics. Did you know he was born in East Harlem, NY & lived in the North East for 17 years before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area. There he initially lived with a non-black woman Leila Steinberg (1/4 Turkish, 1/4 Mexican, 2/4 German-Polish) who instigated Tupac's mind by having him read deep books, such as feminist writings, by age 20. According to a Harvard study, Tupac was more well-read, and intellectually well-rounded at that age than the average student in the first year class of most Ivy League institutions. I can attest to this after watching underground home video of a young Tupac (see documentary "Thug Angel").
Leila Steinberg: "From the very first day, he defiantly wanted to use his art for social change. He wanted to be a voice, not a star. So we stayed up probably until three in the morning that very first day that we met, talking about what we found in terms of our visions, for the planet, for people, for healing prejudice, for understanding black struggle, native American struggle, Latin struggle, women struggle, and just our commitment to fight for oppressed people."
Just read the lyrics for a song "Words of Wisdom" released in 1991 on his very first album: "No Malcolm X in my history text. Why is that? Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks. Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week? He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek."

Tupac is the best!! I love this man and its music!!
Anonymous said that he or she hopes that one day we get the person who got Pac back. I understand how you feel Anonymous, I had family who got killed and I love Tupac too. Although, the way you think is exactly What Tupac was fighting back when he was alive. He believed in God more than everything, he'd want us to get over it, even to forgive the killer, because he didn't know the gravity of his act(like Jesus said). Even though we can't forgive, we have to overcome this event and keep doing what Tupac Amaru Shakur beginned. It's not about wondering what the world would be like if Pac was still here with us, it's about finishing what he beginned. I hope you agree with me...Have a nice day
Everyone has a litlle 2Pac in them

look for the video i wonder if heaven got a ghetto and wen it starts it say september 14 1996 1 day after his death and it says rukahs new mexico spell rukahs back words and it spells shakur
theres this album tu pac relesed after he waz dead its called the 7 day theory he got shot sept 7 1996 and he lived 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th and died on the 13th thats 7 days he died at the age of 25 2+5=7 the official time he died waz 4.03pm 4+3=7 and on 1 of his songs called thug love him and bone thug dizzy bone rap togather but wen u hear it carfully on the back ground dizzy bone says 7 times very sfotly hes alive hes alive 7 times
i know its crazy but i know that tupac iz out there some where and i hope some day hell show his face again and i know that hes alive cuz there waz no funeral they canceled it for no reason and its illigal to buri a body with out an autopsy and they never did 1 on him in the morge
i appreciate yalls support i have finally decided to come out so yall will know the truth. I AM ALIVE.
OK, why are people making Tupac into some great thinker or someone who was actually a GOOD person? HE WAS NOT A GOOD PERSON. Look at his life and the crimes he committed. He was a street thug who had some writing talent. Let's not make him out to be an inspirational legend. If people want a hero- there are many, MANY better people to choose from
Tupac wanted to die young, legends always die young. He knew the only way for his voice to live forever was to become a legend. If he was still alive today, we would not be here
Tupac was / his and will always a genius and the best rapper ever.
i am alive
man 2pac ur 1 of those dudes that can actullay change everyone, doesny matter who. man freakin everyday i go round skool, home, man even church tellin people to give u a chance. some people say yea i will and they do, and it comes out gud at the end. then people say no hes bad news, no man fuck dat shit ur not bad news. ur fukkin great ass news. man jus find the person who can make a change in the world and watch over them. jus let them, help them finish what u started. look ove us. remember keep ya head and only god can judge us.
r.i.p tupac. very inspirational world and truly reflect the rose that grow from concrete. Many people turn a blind eye at those the talents or those with a background like tupac and rather judge them by the part of them which they regard to be wrong. but who are they to say that there is a right or wrong in this world and that those who are involved in violence or crime or have a tough background having experience are bad and do not deserve the right to show the positive side to empower others like tupac has. like he said we are human and besides no one is perfect for those who are still alive and are regards just as inspiartional as tupac are also not perfect.. they may be on a local or street level in the sense that under all that goodness we dont get to see the true nature of their circumstances or dont spend enough time listening to what they say to even spot the moment when they reveal those imperfections..
and foe those who say tupac was bad news fail to recognise that every perspective is valid including tupac and made enough impact on their way of thinking for them to even make a comment on a site dedicated to him.
in tupacs own words:
im,not saying im going to change the world but i gurantee that i will spark the brain that will change the world.
everybody is at war with different things..im at war with my own heart..
"truly inspirational, forever maintained in our hearts and mind"
dedicated to tupac amaru shakur
i think that pac was,is and its going to be the man who really change the world.R.I.P.P.
A thug with a little writing talent........... yeah right aint even goin there aint no1 better do anything to bring him back R.I.P
My name is Sebastian and i've got some things to write in honor of Tupac Shakur.
Tupac was/is/always wiil be a legend. Those who agree with me know that Tupac has inspired many people to do good and to help out by choosing the better options of horrible senarios. He has inspired some to write and do film by his acting career and writing abilities.
Tupac will always live on in people's hearts and souls but now I will talk about his songs. Tupac has writin songs that has to do with life/love/honor/glory/suffering/more. Most songs are about situations in his life but some are just reaching out to young brothers & sisters in crisis. Some songs like "Dear Mama" are about his youth and times growing up. But i've looked past that to compare my life to it. The song talks about how his mom was to blame for drama and the same with my mom...the song also talks about hugging his mom from a jail cell, he may be talking about himself in that cell but i hugged my mama while she was in the cell. He also talks about his mom being poor and a crack feind and thats the same with my mama...she did drugs and was really poor and he also wanted to show his mom was appreciated which i'm trying to show my mom...He also talks about hanging with thugs and the same with me i got expelled from school went to a continuation school and since i went there the thugs been hella chill with me any way moving on. Also he says he started selling drugs and the same here i get my shit from this dude then sell it for double and i get more customers than he does so i get more to buy stuff for my ma since she poor just like in tha song. Anyway moving on He was a lyrical genious from the bronx and i respect him with all my heart he has changed the way i look at life and since my mama started listening to him since i was 2 i have gotten out of situatins with interracial peace...Tupac Shakur you are the greatest and i know how your life was and i hope you are out there cuz we all miss ya...don't forget to look down on us every now and then...R.I.P.
oww my God, i never blvd tht de hero hs indid went sumwhr fr away 4rm his ppl, i nw blv tht de hero is rily chilin wth michl jcksn sumwhr fr, RST IN PIS BRO, 2nd round
what can I say about Pac?! HE WAS The true street soldier, the prophet, the poet, the best of the best, the lover, the child, the son, the best friend, the ladys man and much more..his music changed many hearts, many lifes.. he will be so missed!! rip Pac...
I imagine him in heaven making songs with Elvis and MJ, flirting with Marlyn Monroe, drinking tea with Lady Diana...YOU WILL BE THE ONE AND ONLY KING OF RAP !!!

I love you. YOu change my life a lot. Because of listing to you, there are things I don't do no more. Love you.
tupac... you are a man i can only wish to become. i have dreams and goals that i need to achieve, your music that was your goal that you did achieve, is what keeps pushing me to work and not slip up no matter what happens in my life. i resently had a death of a person very close to me, it took a lot not to take my life, or another, but your music helped heal my relationship with god and learn to live a life of love. R.I.P. tupac... and nanny...
Tupac is an intelligent men who just want to live his life and have fun. But the public deceive him, and his enemies out there are still hating on him because of his talent. I am tupac fan, that truly got love for him. And believe that God will have him in heaven living peacefully.
tupac was a very smart person he knew what he was doing and he knows what e said and what it meant hes miii idol i listen to his songs everyday he has true meaning to what he says unlike lil wayne
I LOVE YOUUUUUUU tupac thugs life$

Thanks Nigga Pac for Life Brother
All i can say is Tupac was the greatest. He rapped and wrote poetry about something that still happens now but means a lot to us because we can relate to most things he was saying.
We finally have a Black president which i hope he'd of been proud of.
RIP TUPAC. You made history and we'll never forget you or your music.
love u pac.
love u pac.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.. o/~ miss you pac.
Tupac is alive according to all the research I've done
Greatest rapper ever coming in 2014
First of all I would like to say excellent blog! I had a
quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Thank you!

The only downside of it in a lot of people's eyes is the fact that there is no multiplayer content. If you want to be able to hit the ball further and harder, you should keep in mind to keep your grip on the bat loose, your swing should begin with your legs and hips, and finally, you must always follow your bat through.
