I was raised by 2 PAC’s music. I was lost as a child and then dear mama was revealed to me like a miracle. Since then, I have understood what needed to be done, that was cared for my mother. From that knowledge, I became wise enough to graduate with 2 masters degrees. My goal was to care for my mom and my family, and I got that from listening to 2 PAC. Listen to « the rose that grew from the concrete », this men thought me how to be a responsible man. To this day I keep on listening to his music, never stopped.

Live in inner cities is certainly difficult with stagnant wages, rising homelessness and political issues. But it is particularly difficult for black youth and men who experience overpolicing and abuse. It is also particularly difficult on the black women who go unnoticed and become victims as well. These women love black men and have to suffer seeing the men in their be arrested and become another prisoner. Leaving single mothers to fend for themselves, 2pac's music spoke to a lot of those women's stories. He was a truly great man and artist, RIP.

To add to what people have said about hip hop and rap, the two are intertwined. As you continue this part of your journey, you should check out Rapper's Delight by The Sugarhill Gang, and pay special attention to the opening words. It was one of the earliest rap tracks, and the first to get widespread notice. I was 6 when I first heard when it around 1979.

And just to let you know… 2Pac has still influenced several people around the world…. I’m glad you are doing this… even if it is late, or too late…. Remember to keep yourself alive, there is nothing more important than that…. As pac said… also music is music doesn’t matter from where is from… there is a song from Scarface feat. 2Pac after pac died… called smile… you should listen to that… and also go back and watch the video….
