Tupac Shakur: The Life and Times of an American Icon
As i grew up i became very interested in this one person. That person’s name is Tupac. His birth name was Lesane Parish Crooks and his mom changed his name to Tupac after the Incans. Tupac is an American legend who changed the life of hip-hop and created songs with lyrics that expressed all the bad done in the projects and ghettos. Tupac was born in a very bad area, he was always out getting drugs for his mom and hustling on the streets. When Tupac wasn’t doing this he would write poetry about what has happened to him throughout his life. Tupac had a thory that “Thug Life” meant that all those who had nothing could still suceed even if there are obstacles in the way you can still make it. Now a-days everybody knows of and misses this American Legend.
