That is a time line of 2Pac's life, there are some people on here who have written about what he actually did, like how he grew up, how he fell into the wrong group, but I am going to concentrate on what 2Pac represented when he died.

2Pac always felt that he was fighting for black pride, he felt he was fighting with the likes of MLK and Malcolm X, he just had a different way of doing it.

It is usual that some rappers grow up as Gangsta's untill they make a bit of money and they move from everything they knew, 2Pac was a member of a gang a
nd thatwas the reason for his death.

The Police has classified his death as 'gang related' although the murder actually remains unsolved. But this is not what I actually like Pac.

The fact that his lyrics mean something and when he said he was going to do something he really was, you get Eminem saying he is gonna kill people all the time, but when Pac said it he actually meant it.

This made it all so real to me, that fact that there was no showbiz frontin with him, the fact what you saw was what you got, I would like to say that if I had one wish then I would like to have met Pac, but he would have probably hated me and shot me as well.

lol

I hope this review helps people to understand why I like Pac more than the other rubbish today. If anyone wants some good songs then please feel free to mail me, I am always willing to spread the word of Pac.
