2Pac Mentioned in Harvard Conference
Tupac Shakur

Representing Tupac online since 1996!
"I just played it to win. Mothafucka took a bet against the odds, rolled those mothafuckin dice. Sometimes a nigga hit 7-11, sometimes a nigga crap out. That's just the chance a mothafucka take when you ridah though." -- Tupac Amaru Shakur (T.I.P)

2Pac Mentioned in Harvard Conference

13/11/05

    Why was Tupac chosen for the theme of your conference this year?
    In my work it's pretty clear that Tupac is a symbol to a lot of kids. It's never been clear to me what was really going on. What I didn't think was that people we're dealing with it seriously. Trying to figure out how he worked as a folk hero for so many different types of youth and how he inspired or how he may have been a way for people to rationalize erratic behavior but also offer hope in the end. There is no one like him in hip hop.


    Not even Biggie?
    I don't know why Biggie doesn't become a figure like that in the same way. I think Biggie is incredibly important in hip hop. Biggie has probably saved more lives than Tupac. When I've been around youth and they're playing Biggie, they are often slapping each other's hand. Biggie did not become a public figure in terms of his body, his representation on magazine covers in terms of the popular press. Maybe its because he was heavy and he was dark, his story wasn't as fantastic as Tupac's, and he wasn't as successful (commercially) as Tupac. For better or for worse it became Tupac who is that figure.

This Site's Mission

The site showcases Tupac Shakur, a multi-talented legend, who was born in the Bronx, New York on June 16, 1971 and died from fatal gun shot wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 13, 1996.

He is considered by many to be the greatest rapper of all time. 2Pac's lyrics always went deep into the meaning of many political and social subjects including violence, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and broken families.

2Pac was well read as noted by his extensive reading list. 2Pac's poetry also reflected his many sides, some poems were motivated by love, some sought self-understanding and others were angry responses to the cruel injustices of American society.

Not only famous for his music, he was also a well respected actor with several films.

2Pac was down to die for everything he represented. He was very open and always expressed his mind. Some people consider 2Pac a modern-day prophet. Reading some of 2Pac's interviews, lyrics and quotes, its not hard to see why.

Being real and upfront, trouble always seemed to come naturally. Tupac was charged with rape, a crime he did not commit, but was still convicted of sodomy (forcibly touching the buttocks). Many witnesses seen the girl who made these accusations voluntarily give 2Pac oral sex on a night club dance floor. Tupac was also charged with shooting two off-duty police officers, but those charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence. The fatal shooting in Vegas was the second shooting 2Pac was involved. The first occured in 1994 in New York.

Most likely, 2Pac's killer was Orlando Anderson, a south-side crip. Theories abound as to who coordinated the hit. Some believe it happened spur of the moment out of Orlando's rage. Others believe Suge Knight had 2Pac killed. The Las Vegas Times recently reported Biggie Smalls had 2Pac killed. Still others, believe it was an elaborate scheme and 2Pac is still alive (he faked his own death).

This site contains pictures of 2Pac, the latest news about 2Pac products and projects, information on 2Pac's tattoos, and anything else 2Pac related. The mission of this site is to show all sides of Tupac -- his thoughts, inspirations, and direction in life. All of this is to be shown through Tupac's lyrics, poetry, music videos and interviews. Hopefully, we can give you a better understanding of Tupac Shakur.
