I was driving to school in my 1987 Subaru

listening to the radio. The DJ announced

Tupac has died, right then and there

I cried, I'll nevr forget that day

RIP Pac,

here's one of your early hits

R.I.P. We love and miss you!!

Has there been anything new regarding his murder?

No but there are still so many questions than answers. I think Suge Knight paid off the cops to flub the "investigation" for sure.

what is sad is 50 people saw what happened but not a single witness!

well according to Makavelli

who faked his own death to

come back later to avenge

his enemies?

will Tupac be back?

I hardly doubt it

but many folks believe

this that he faked his death

Personally I beleive he is dead,

and we will see him in the next life

Pac loved Prince

Agreed. We wish he were back but all we have for now are those strange holograms that keep popping up at concerts

Tupac 21 years old

Telling it like it is.....

Reposting this for you since it looks like there was an error with your cut and paste

i tried it twice

No worries at all Thanks for posting this interview, I will be sure to check it out. I think he was a prolific artist and thinker. I can't say that about many rappers throughout history. I think he had guts and was more of a vigilante than some who said he was a studio gangster. I have seen video footage of him speaking at an Expo in 1993 calling out inequality and telling people what needed to be done to make things better. I mean, he's saying this while at the top of his game and possibly risking his well being to speak truth to power. I really respect Tupac for his tenacity to the very end.

18 years have passed quickly!

Talk about a beautiful mind, this is one of my favorites by him:

"Shed So Many Tears"

I shall not fear no man but God
Though I walk through the valley of death
I shed so many tears (if I should die before I wake)
Please God walk with me (grab a nigga and take me to Heaven)

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
Left me alone I grew up amongst a dyin breed
Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest
until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest
Tell me can you feel me? I'm not livin in the past, you wanna last
Be tha first to blast, remember Kato
No longer with us he's deceased
Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets
Now rest in peace
Is there heaven for a G? Remember me
So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears

Ahh, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..
Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now that I'm strugglin in this business, by any means
Label me greedy gettin green, but seldom seen
And fuck the world cause I'm cursed, I'm havin visions
of leavin here in a hearse, God can you feel me?
Take me away from all the pressure, and all the pain
Show me some happiness again, I'm goin blind
I spend my time in this cell, ain't livin well
I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?
My life is in denial, and when I die,
baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..
Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears
I'm suicidal, so don't stand near me
My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer
to embrace an early death, now there's nothin left
There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest
I'm barely standin, bout to go to pieces, screamin peace
And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it
I had my mind full of demons tryin to break free
They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame
inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game
No memories, just a misery
Paintin a picture of my enemies killin me, in my sleep
Will I survive til the mo'nin, to see the sun
Please Lord forgive me for my sins, cause here I come...

Lord, I suffered through the years (God) and shed so many tears..
God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

Lord knows I.. tried, been a witness to homicide
Seen drivebys takin lives, little kids die
Wonder why as I walk by
Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, gettin high
This ain't the life for me, I wanna change
But ain't no future right for me, I'm stuck in the game
I'm trapped inside a maze
See this Tanqueray influenced me to gettin crazy
Disillusioned lately, I've been really wantin babies
so I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady
Don't trust my lady, cause she's a product of this poison
I'm hearin noises, think she fuckin all my boys, can't take no more
I'm fallin to the floor; beggin for the Lord to let me in
to Heaven's door -- shed so many tears
(Dear God, please let me in)

Lord, I've lost so many years, and shed so many tears..
I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears..
God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

First song that came to mind for me...

There's a snippet of a live version of this song that I found after the studio version ended. It was pretty amazing. I think most of live rap pretty much sucks but that version that he did didn't suck at all. I miss Tupac a lot. RIP.
