    Tupac* spoke on everything affecting the black community. From surviving poverty, to abuse of black men by police and women by men. But he also knew how to make fun music that showed his appreciation of women (albeit sometimes vulgar) and uplifting the community. May he continue to rest in peace. ❤❤

      Tupac making songs on every way a person can feel. We just have to listen. He even has about 6 songs or more that actually cover depression .. even su💀cidal thoughts
      So many songs get over looked.
      But that’s why some of his music may make no sense having them back to back like “never call you b*tch again” & “wonder why we(they) call you bitch”
      He just wrote and recorded what he felt in the moment.. “I put my soul in my songs, so tell me where did I go wrong?”

      I was aware, because I was just like Pac. I read those stories, too. Plus, I saw it in the hood. Teen pregnancy was huge in the '80s. I had crushes on girls who became pregnant at 12 and 13 years old, usually by older men. I remember when I was 11 and I used to like this 13 year old in my cousin's neighborhood. I was saddened when I saw her participating in a "train" with about 3 older dudes in the neighborhood. Next thing you know, her belly was bigger than her because she wasn't even 5 feet tall. She was still in the 7th grade.

    I happened to be in Las Vegas to celebrate my birthday in 1996, and upon hearing sirens, we walked to the crime scene and stood near the bullet-riddled vehicle. I didn't know it was Tupac until early the next day when the news announced it. It was surreal to see it in person.
