About Me
When Tupac was born on June 16th, 1971 his mom, a member of the Black Panthers was in jail for bombing. When they got out 2pac's family went to Harlem, where his mother began using crack. She sent 2Pac to the baltimore school of performing arts, where he wrote his first raps under the name MC New York. He than moved to Cali and helped Digital Underground. His first Solo album was called 2Pacalypse now. This album included hits like Trapped and Brenda's Got a Baby. It also had some cop and government dissin lyrics which cause Dan Quayle to use the album as an example of rap that should be outlawed. 2Pac came back with more of the same on Strictly For My Niggaz. Some people said that it was a bad album, but I think that 2pac was experimenting with the new sound that he used for the rest of his career.Tupac Shakur grew up around nothing but self-delusion. His mother, Alice Faye Williams, thought she was a "revolutionary." She called herself "Afeni Shakur" and associated with members of the ill-fated Black Panther Party, a movement that wanted to feed school kids breakfast and earn civil rights for African Americans.
