Introduction !

I’m writing about Tupac because

He give me another insight to look for some problems

And he makes music and says things like ,

changes his life ,how the new youth is

And that he will pay the price for what he did

A piece from Ghetto Gospel

Lord can you hear me speak!!

to pay the price of being hell bound...

And he is different from the rest

Other rappers talk about bitches and money

But he talk about other true story

And i hope that i can find of his dead was put in scene

Tupac’s Life !

Tupac Shakur a.k.a. Lesane Parish Crooks which was his real name

He was born on the 16th of june 1971 in the New York borough of Brooklyn.

His mother, Afeni (member of the Black Panthers, who fought for the rights of black people), Spent the first seven months of her

pregnancy in prison.

Tupac was born to Afeni and Billy Garland Tupac never knew for sure who his father was, he first time met Billy when he was five, but

never had a good relationship to him.

Afeni changed Tupac’s name in 1972. Tupac Amaru was named after a famous inca who fought for the incas rights.

The second meaning of Tupac Amaru is arabic and means Shining serpent

and Shakur stands for Thankful to god

Tupac grew up as a normal child who has a strong bond with his mother. The children in the neighbourhood dared to do him anything.

That was because his mother had much respect as Black Panther. Tupac starred in many films.

In 1983 he played his first role in Raisin in the Sun

In 1985, Tupac and his mother moved to Baltimore where Tupac moves to a higher school for the arts. Tupac's favourite subjects were

acting and poetry.

!He started raps at the age of 15, his first alias was MC New York he wore a t-shirt with MC NEW YORK written with iron letters on it.

In 1986, Tupac made a video at school, lip singing Will Smiths Parents don't understand.

He quit school and go hang out on the street. He meet the wrong people, and he starts dealing in drugs.

At the age of 17, when Tupac lived on the Streets of Oakland, his Name changed from Tupac to 2Pac,

In 1990 Tupac allowed in the hip-hop group Digital Underground to dance and occasionally rapping.

Here is a picture for digital underground

In 1991 Tupac makes his first rap song Same Song.

He also gets a role in the film Nothing but trouble with the members of Digital Underground.

They say that Tupac’s death was on September 13, 1996

But the most people think his adoption papers were fake

Even today they don’t know and there are some good clues

That it’s fake one of the reasons can be

That he want that his enemy was thinking that he was death

Or He want to start again his life

I self thinking that he is still alive

He was something else than al the other rappers

Not a stereo type of rappers talking about bitches ,money ,cars etc.

Favourite Art Piece My favourite art piece is ghetto gospel

There are 2 versions of it one is the original version

And the other is kind of a remix

The real one is very different than the remixed version

The remixed version is rapped by Eminem

I like the second version more than the original

But the other songs i found the original Better

Conclusion !

My conclusion for this project is that what you think not really is

Because i think his death was put in scene

And i didn’t know that his real name was Lesane Parish Crooks

And what Tupac Amur Shakur means

But i was hoping that i can found if he is still alive and that i couldn’t found

That is the only point that i didn’t found in this project what i want

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
