17 years since fatal shooting of Tupac Shakur
RnB/Hip Hop | Friday 6th September 2013 | kimzung
Today's classic rap verse comes from hip hop legend Tupac :
"Don't look confused, the truth is so plain to see
'Cause I'm the nigga that you sell-outs are ashamed to be
In every jeep and every car, brothers stomp this
I'm never ignorant, getting goals accomplished
The underground railroad on an uprise
This time the truth's gettin' told, heard enough lies
I told em fight back, attack on society
If this is violence, then violent's what I gotta be
If you investigate you'll find out where it's comin' from
Look through our history, America's the violent one
Unlock my brain, break the chains of your misery
This time the payback for evil shit you did to me
They call me militant, racist cause I will resist
You wanna censor somethin', motherfucker censor this
My words are weapons, and I'm steppin' to the silent
Wakin' up the masses, but you claim that I'm violent"
Tupac Shakur died on September 13th 1996, six days after being shot multiple times in a drive by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. Regarded by many in the rap business as one of the best who ever did it, some even talk about him in the same vein as a black Jesus. He embodied the Thug Life persona of early Gangsta Rap and had already survived a previous shooting incident in November 1994. As of 2010, Tupac had sold over 75 million albums worldwide making him one of the most successful music artist of all time. Tomorrow marks the 17th anniversary of his fatal shooting at the Flamingo Road intersection in Las Vegas.
Tupac Shakur, Prophet of Hiphop.
