Tupac Shakur The myth, legend, poet, prophet, all eyez on him June 16th

I dedicate this blog entry to all of my Tupac fans and lovers everyone who I know who loved his music and his message

He was a legend, prophet, a poet,  an activist, a rap & hip hop legend, and left an impact on the world even 21 years after he has passed he will continue to be known to the public as one of the greatest writers and rappers, Tupac Amaru Shakur. He was actually born a native New Yorker in East Harlem, NY on June 16, 1971. His birth name was actually Lesane Parrish Crooks and was later changed right after he was born. He had a way of connecting with people, connecting to his audience too. Tupac  had a way of making you think, feel, have a good time, and then make you get riled up too. He had a way of giving his listeners and audience a way to think consciously about what was really happening around the community. He had a way of making you want to resolve the issues that deeply affected the community.  Songs like “Brenda’s got a baby”, “I ain’t mad at cha”, “Dear Mama, or “Come with me (Hail Mary) are songs that people think and made people from the public connect to them.  He could make you want to have fun and live it up too with songs like “California Love”, “Gangsta Party”, and “I get around”.  That’s the Tupac that we all love and wanted to know more about too.

So who was Lesane? Or Tupac? Who was the man behind the bunny ear bandanas, pants hanging below his belt, and the large “THUG LIFE” tattoo across his six pack abdominal muscles. There’s more that meets the eye actually when it comes to Tupac. You’ll learn about his rise, how he broke into the industry, and set the world on fire with his lyrics, his voice, and influenced a generation.

He was incredible and had a way to connect to everyone. Tupac’s story leaves us all with many questions unanswered because we always wanted to know what really happened? Was it a gang related murder, an inside job, was it someone who was part of the “East Coast/West Coast 1994-1997 rivalry) there are so many things that were happening during this time it’s still a mystery to people what truly happened to him and why was his life cut so short at just 25 years old. He sold over 75 million records since 2007 but I believe within the last 10 years you can double that and have to say at least 150 million records have been sold and he was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on April 7^th, 2017 this year.

Perfect timing now with just a few days to go Tupac’s biography film will be released he has released many other films in the film where he starred in  the film and also invested his time and patience. He starred in “Resurrection” which was about Tupac’s life and was a documentary telling the story of his journey through music and his life. Now with the new film coming out directed by music video producer, Benny Boom I remember seeing many of his videos on MTV and BET growing up and of course that’s one of the best ways you get to see and emulate  your favorite musicians and stars. You learn all of the dance moves and see the visual aspect of the song. I love that artist still make videos you need to show yourself completely the audio part we get to know your voice, then the visual you know the person and see them. Tupac definitely is one of the most recognizable names and artists you will remember and know right away.

The film “All Eyez on Me” stars Demetrius Shipp Jr who is Tupac’s long lost twin brother will play the lead character in this film. The film is also starring Kat Graham who will play Jada Pinkett (she was very close friends with Tupac they met in Baltimore, Maryland the Baltimore Performing Arts school), Danai Gurira as Afeni Shakur Tupac’s mother, Annie Ilonzeh will play Kidada Jones (Tupac’s fiancée), Hill Harper will star as one of Tupac’s interviewers, Jamal Woolard will reprise his role again as Christopher “Notorious BIG” Wallace, and there will be many different suprises in this film and new faces. Look out and make sure you watch I think we will learn more about the myth, the man, the prophet, the legend, and why he had such a major impact on everyone during his time in pop culture and became one of the most influential and powerful rappers of his generation and time.
