Tupac is immortal for me
Tupac passed away on September 13, 1996, but his legend is still alive today. He was assassinated on that date, and the killer was never discovered or arrested. Still, the leading gangsta rapper defeated his killer and the dead, because only after his death, did Tupac become a truly immortal symbol in rap music. Numbers also testify to the fact that Tupac was a real phenomenon: 73 million copies of his music albums have been sold worldwide so far - an absolute record for a single rapper! Although, he died every year a new compilation of his greatest hits or CDs with unreleased songs appeared on the market, such as " Changes " ( 1998.) in the end we come to the figure of 23 albums in America alone! Unlike all other gangsta rappers, he was never afraid to reveal his emotions and rap about what was on his mind. For example: while in 1996 it was mostly about money and sex, 2pac wrote about her complicated relationship with her mother Afeni Shakur ("Dear Mama", "I Ain * t Mad At Cha"), who didn't take care of 2pac the way she did. should when he was little. These songs later served as inspiration primarily to superstar rapper Eminem. And Eminem later addressed his problems with his mother in the song “Cleaning Out My Closet”! "What has always fascinated me about Tupac is this: whatever he rapped about, fans could feel his words coming directly from his heart, "In 2003, 50cent rang like this in one part of his first hit " In da Club ": "I want them to love me like they love Pac" (adjective. I want them to love me like they love Pac)! DMX and Ja Rule even completely copied Tupac's style: they appear shirtless and with a scarf around their heads, and both are Tupac's trademark. Even the rappers Tupac called out during his lifetime were his other fans! For example, Nas: was a New York rapper until Tupac's death in 1996. his worst enemy. Nevertheless, in 1999, Nas had a tattoo made on him, modeled on the famous string of letters
What else makes Tupac so unique? His many talents! He was the first rapper in Hollywood (1992) and in his first movie ("Juice") he immediately starred. During the rehearsal, Tupac enjoyed the role of Bishop, a boy who grew up in the ghetto. While the rapper was throwing chairs around the studio playing a rabid young man from Hood, the director was so thrilled that he immediately hired 2pacs for the lead role. Tupac had a fierce temperament and that definitely helped him in his film career. However, insiders such as American journalist Chuck Philips claim that it was his short nature that cost him his life. According to Philip's theory (published in 2002. yr. in the Los Angeles Times), Pac was killed because in 1996 he infuriated New York rapper The Notorious BIG with his song "Hit * Em Up" so much that he blackmailed his head for a million dollars.
