2Pac

The life of 2Pac, 2Pac was a hip-hop legend his real name was “Tupac Shakur” he made music like no other. He was a man who really had a very hard life. His mom was the only one who could take care of him. His dad died when he was just a baby. But when he got into the rap career he was working for "digital underground." He ended up becoming a million air and sold over 75 million records.

His music talked about some sadness, some anger, & hatred in his life. What he wanted to tell everyone was just don’t give up, live your life, and be happy. Some of his best songs were “keep your head up”, “Staring at the world through my rear view”, and “Pain”. He was making music when he was in West vs East. he was a W.E.S.T side gangster.

Some people look at him and think he was a bad man. He did nothing wrong. He really only wanted love. He was growing up with kids doing a lot of drugs. 2Pac got a bunch of law suits & went to jail. Police treated him like he was a piece of dirt. He saw a lot of racism and made a song called changes, which inspired me to change my acts. He loved children, he would make songs with children. He looked so happy to put children in his music videos.

But 2Pac now is dead. You might wonder how he died? He was killed by a drive by. What happened was a gang member got beaten down by the west side. Apparently 2Pac was involved in it. When the gang found out about this beating, they went to find 2Pac. When 2Pac and his friend Suge Knight were heading to this party he came to a red light. A man rolled down his window and shot 2Pac 5 times. He survived the shootings and was rushed to the hospital.

His friends came to see him every day. Until eventually he died of cardiac arrest, & loss of blood. People say that "Biggie Smalls" killed him. After 14 years they finally found the man behind the killing. It was Suge Knight. From this day I will always pray for 2Pac to rest in peace. God bless 2Pac. But what would 2Pac want for us to do. Well he would probably just want us to live are life’s and be happy.
