Because that's where my homie Tupac is straight up chilling. I remember wearing black and rocking my bandana for a whole month when he died. Yes it was that serious. That was a real gangsta with was raw talent and passion not the crap that we have now. Tupac is an urban poetic legend like no other. In case you didn't notice VH1 is running a bunch of news doc on his life. Check them out. Meanwhile make sure you pour a libation out to him or throw your lighters up. R-I-P Tupac.
Share your thoughts on Tupac. Do you have any fave Tupac hits or lyrical wisdom? I liked 'All Eyez on Me' and 'Keepin' Ur Head Up' (I should go and buy some 2PAC cds since I gave mine away, I'll get the Walmart version this time)
Here's a quote that I think is just too deep
“since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one”
WORD TO YO MOMMA PAC!!!! THUG LIFE!!!!(without the gun though) Post away but this should not be a distraction from the Biafra post.
(Two blogs in one day, I guess it came back huh)

great post addy. short and sweet. i love tupac's music because of the messages that he tried to put out there, even amid the gangsta talk.
that man was deep for real
Great post, I didnt get into 2pac until about 2003, lol, I had my own lil 2pac phase then myself. Some of my favorites songs are "Troublesome" "My Block" "Thug Passion" "Never call you B***** Again" n "Thugs Masion" which is still my favorite, the original that is!
THATS MY BABY DADDY!!!..lol..sorry, i lost my head for a minute...RIP, Pac...Great Post, Addy...im a huge fan....
@ anon ..oh bugger off!

i see u have comment moderation enabled..tht can only mean one thing - haters are lurking...
brush them off because eventually then jealousy and envy will finish them off!
"i am not saying that i am gonna change the world. but i gurantee that i will spark the brain that would change the world." - tupac.
"The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams."
RIP Pac!!
@ Wale and Uju.... I saw those quotes and I shuddered at the deepness coming from someone who we ordinarily cannot point out as a role model considering his lifestyle. But You just cannot judge a book by it's cover or a man by how deep his pockets are. Tupac came ahead of his time, I guess like other icons from other generations it was expected for his life to be short lived.
@Bella.. yeah the documentaries are really really eye opening. As per the hater, allow, na me go carry my Amebo self go find wahala where lion dey sleep.
Ada,
I have a little issue to deal with. I would have asked aunty Bella, but since you have been yanning about weddings in past series, i guess you could ask your readers to help me shed light on my issue.
Thing is i am getting married.....yippeee.
what the issue is I have 'Oju Kokoro'. i feel the size of my ring is small. yes, b4 you crucify me, i dont think im a gold digger. in fact i love my ring, just that i get jealous when i see girls with bigger more flashy rings and diamonds. i would not call myself materialistic which is why this feeling inside me bugs me a lot. why am i not satisfied wth what i have. is there anyone else out there who has these feelings or may have tips for me on not getting jealous. Am i just an ungrateful chic?
thanks....
haters ke? na wa oh...thanks for this, rip tupac or long live tupac...
