Tupac has not only impacted my life but many others. He has impacted a generation of music enthusiast from the day he has started rapping and even up until the present, many years after his death. He has inspired many scholars with his strong poetic demeanor and passion towards social concepts, an activist. He was gifted, a natural born leader, a leader who united many people with his music, philosophy, and opinions.

Tupac Amaru Shakur was more than an artist, he was a political revolutionist, a poet, and rapper, and he also starred in many movies. Tupac has given a huge impact of my life with his music and ideas, his philosophy was based off of the same concepts I have once encountered in my lif. His accommodations and accolades cannot compare towards many artist in today's music industry. I have no other words for such, legend, he was special...
