>= link=board=general;num=1031892221;start=0#4 date=09/13/02 at 04:26:06]He was and still is much more than a rapper to me, his music was alot more than hip-hop music to me too, it was like a soundtrack to life, he had a song for every situation, he talked on just about every issue and he exposed so many ugly truths that need to be exposed and alot of people could relate to the things he spoke on and believed in. Thats what he was, the truth. Through his music he gave alot of people hope, and just one of the reasons him and his music is still appreciated to this day is because the things he spoke of are still relevant. Not only his music posessed those hard hitting messages though, he also spoke about them and taught people alot about how the world, politics, social issues, things that your average person doesn't often speak of. He was one intelligent being. He didn't bite his tongue for nobody and although at times that got him in trouble that was one of the things that made him the man that he was.He was a poet, a prophet, he had imense talent, from his prolific writing and gifted lyricism to his films. His charisma shone like no other. Throughout his career he conjured up 3 legit classics in a row, and so much more unforgettable material, great performances in film and there was amazingly more to come. Regardless of what type of person the media pictured him as his music exposed a different side to him, his real side and thats the most important side that needs to be remembered. Alot of people who havn't even listened to his music feel the need to judge him based on the media's perception of him butI know if they were to listen to his music they would feel differently and respect him and his music in the way he deserved. There will always be immitations but there's been no other like him and there probably never will be. R.I.P. Tupac Amaru Shakur - The G.O.A.T, The poet, the artist, the prophet, the martyr, the legend. You will never be forgotten, you will live forever through your music and art.
It's crazy how so many people from various backgrounds can feel such a connection to Pac. He was my generations biggest icon!
