Tupac

You may be familiar to the late Tupac Shakur or maybe not, either way i think he was a remarkable character, so this blog post is dedicated to him.


“My mama always used to tell me: 'If you can't find somethin' to live for, you best find somethin' to die for.”






Tupac's music and philosophy is rooted in many American, African-American, and World entities, including the Black
Panther Party. His mother was an active member of the Black panthers through-out his childhood.
















"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside while still alive. Never surrender."
— 
Tupac Shakur














"Why am I fighting to live,
If I am just living to fight
Why am I trying to see.
When there aint nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give,
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live,
If I am just living to die?"
— Tupac Shakur













Shakur was a voracious reader. He was inspired by a wide variety of writers, including William ShakespeareNiccolò MachiavelliDonald GoinesSun TzuKurt VonnegutMikhail BakuninMaya AngelouAlice Walker, and Khalil Gibran












Since his death, Tupac has become an international martyr, a symbol on the level of Bob Marleyor Che Guevara, whose life has inspired Tupacistas on the streets of Brazil, memorial murals in theBronx and Spain, and bandanna-wearing youth gangs in South Africa.








He will be missed greatly.!
