For this assignment I have chosen the unconventional and controversial artist Lesane Parish Crooks better known as Tupac Amaru Shakur or 2Pac. 2Pac played a major role not only in my life but in the lives of Americas inner city youth, suburban households and politics. 2Pac was portrayed by the American media for years as nothing more than a thug rapper with nothing more to offer than violence and vulgar language. Those claims held a partial truth revealing those that touted those beliefs as facts had never attempted to comprehend his lyrics and chosen to focus on several small musical works Vs. his overall works which included lyrics provoked by his love, concern & wishes towards black women, the desire for equality towards African Americans, his affinity towards policing in America and the marginalization of African Americans.
