Like some of you know "2Pac" or "Tupac Shakur" or however you would spell his name just got a long overdue posthumously star on Hollywood Walk of Fame! Shakur is one of only 12 rap artists, including Queen Latifah and Ice-T, who have received a star on the Walk of Fame and the first I do think but I could be wrong on that so don't sue me if there is one other or two.
But as a BIG BIG fan of 2Pac since 1990 and having seen him rise, and pass way to seen and having heard all his music hundreds of times, and knowing all the lyrics all I can say is he should have got one 2 decades ago at least. But better late than never.
He lived to be only 25 yet his music is still hitting people today like if he could tell the future. IF You listen close it's like he speaks of what we're facing today in a lot of what he said when he was in his early 20's. Without a doubt a man before his time, and one who left us many songs, and a few movies to marvel at the talent that was taken in 1996... He will always be my favorite rapper, and he will always be an influence in me, and the hip hop culture. Rest in Peace to him and thank god they finally are showing Pac love with this STAR... It's something to show he left his imprint in society and the people involved in these matters are finally starting to wake up... Hope they're listening to his words in his music too.
Remember he said it... "It's NOT THEM that's killing us... It's us that's killing us". He was talking about White people, and the Police compared to Black on Black Crime... Black people pay attention.
