TUPAC THE GREATEST NOW AND FOREVER
Despite the fact that i have been a fan of Tupac for many years now,I still can't help but wonder why the man tupac amaru shakur was loved and still very much loved by millions of fans around the globe,whom remain ever loyal,the man has fans from every nook and cranny,from Africa to Asia,Europe to the America's,if there's one thing I know,it is the fact that the genre called hip hop,an art which was created in the 70's,had already gained popularity by the likes of run dmc,nwa,mc hammer,to mention but a few,but the immense contribution's made by the man tupac to the genre cannot be overstated,in fact its an understatement.in terms of the love his fans has for him,many artist would only strive but to no avail to attain to such status,something they would only dream of,and the only person to blame for that is nobody but tupac himself,because he raised the bar so high,

PAC was not just a rap musician,he embodies much more than just that both literarily and non literarily,the only other name that comes up as a rival,during a discussion involving Tupac is christopher Wallace A.K.A the notorious big,for he too is unarguably one of the G.O.A.T,and he also hold a reasonable amount of constituent in the hip hop world,but in many ways,the person of tupac is held in higher esteem in his own stead,for in addition to being a rapper,he was a prolific poet with a number of poetic material in his archives,he was an actor who had a thriving career and the prospect of dominating that field had it not been for the event of his unexpected demise,with thrilling movies such as juice,poetic justice,gridlock etc under his belt,
yet this charismatic enigma list of endowment doesn't end there,he also functioned as a social activist,that used every opportunity he got to fearlessly voice his grievances and that of the black society at large with the authorities,topics with political undertone abounds in his numerous musical joints,track such as "dear mama" which was dedicated to his mom but speaks to every mother in general,some others such as "i wonder if heaven gotta ghetto","changes" directly deals with the struggles the black people in the inner city are going through,and is by far the foremost reason for his ever growing popularity,and on personal note tupac have left an everlasting indelible impression in my life,so much that its almost as if i cannot do without him,that is one big risk that awaits any would be tupac fan,once you become a true fan,its as if you just became part of his cult,and then the militancy spirit of his would consume you,don't be surprise when you find yourself trying to talk like him,think like him,act like him,and if you don't press the control button,that's exactly what you will find yourself doing,I don't really know if while he was in the studio cooking up something,he planed to be influential and contagious as he turned out to be,and this I can't even doubt considering the level of intelligence that he has convinced us he possess,he was as real as th word real can get,he presented us with his dark sides,and we accepted him for his courageousness,because we all have our bad sides,he was in speaking up about our struggle and against our common oppressors,and for that we loved him even more.
I cannot forget about a friend of mine,whom was going through a rough time emotionally,and he would lock himself up and blast on his deck some tupac song,he claimed those songs were exactly what he needed to go through his mourning and healing process,that was how much tupac was mysteriously awesome and loved.

One dumb thing i hear people say is should tupac still be alive,he wouldn't enjoy the legendary status which he enjoys,and I think that's a shame,because only an hater whom have refused to see that he was only 25 years at the time of death,and that he only actively lasted 5years in the rap scene,between 1991-1996 when his first album was released up till time of death,but ever since, his works have given him immortality,its only left for even a new born baby to correctly predict and foresee a future of excellence that knows no bound,for such a person,considering that he had a booming acting career and his passion for being the mouth piece of the black race,tupac must as well have owned a movie production entity,that deals with the black demography just like a Tyler Perry does,as for a record label,before his untimely death,there were already hints he and his mum was putting one together,with the name"amaru record",his fans knows,this was a basis for a conspiracy theory,believing that the idea might not have gone down well with his then label boss"suge Knight",and might have led his boss to have orchestrated his death,being the menace suge have now proven to be,now can you imagine currently functioning as a record label owner,filled with a number of raw musical talent that I trust a brilliant man like tupac to have gotten,I have no doubt in my mind that rubbing shoulder with fellow rappers and label c.e.o's such as jazzy,Dr dre,diddy,tupac would definitely have become the first hip hop billionaire,but now he is dead,leaving us with his legacy and no way of knowing all these things.
I pay my homage and give tribute to whom tribute is due,I thank him him for giving me and the whole world those beautiful songs that have consoled the down hearted for many years after he left,"THANK YOU PAC" "WE MISS YOU" "AND THE WORLD LOVES YOU".
