    lyrics its everyday life, from what happened in
    his home, and in the streets. Everyone respects
    him as a person but they admire him as a great
    artist.
  • We should remember that even though Tupac went to
    jail, and made a few mistakes in his life that
    the truth is hes a respectful individual.
    Everyone makes mistakes in their life, because no
    one is perfect. Also remember how he influenced
    these rappers until this day.
  • Tupac was part of the East coast West coast
    violence, but since Notorious B.I.G. was the
    first to die and then Tupac, their rhymes made
    people think about what they are doing before
    more and more people get killed over something so
    stupid.

MY QUESTION
  • What advice can you give the rappers who look up
    to you and are inspired by your music?
  • I ask this question because some of the new
    artist that look up to someone before them do not
    really know why they look up to them until they
    ask.
