In my past English class I learned about a well know hip pop icon Tupac Shakur. I also learn about how he was living his life. Many people are touch by this artist from the way he presence his work such as songs, poetry and stories of his life. During his life time he was a smart, strong, and brave young person who did not let anything get in his way of surviving. He was killed during a drive by shooting in his late twenties, but during his early life he was the best rap artist selling a lot of record and he was also an activist following his mother footstep. A lot of his works has been taught in school after his death because many have notice that there was an intelligent person who does a lot of goods that other should know about. His songs and poem are sad and people can relate to them because the way Tupac expresses how he felt is touching. It come from his heart and his learning experience while growing up. In his songs and poem he expresses how he felt growing up in an environment with poverty, racism, hardship in the ghetto, and problems that he see happening in the society. He has a mother that he loves and cares about a lot, but she was always in and out of his life due to being a member of the Black Panther Party known as Afeni Shakur. As for his father he was never in his life because when Tupac was born his father abandon his mother and him.
After learning about this pop icon I can really respect and see how much people really relate or respect music artist so much. He wasn’t just a music artist, but a person who wanted to make a change in young people life. He inspire many to open their heart and minds to explore the world and enjoy lives.
