I know he's passed away but i'd love to meet Pac, maybe even spend the day in a a studio with him-lol! Nah really though, just for the sheer depth of the man, i could learn alot from him and have just as much fun while doing it. Im trying to think of the next person i'd like to meet but i cant seem to think past Pac-lol! So i'm gonna end this section with one of his poems. THE ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE BY TUPAC - Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.
