The Life and Works of Tupac Amaru ShakurBoth Tupac and Amaru are words of Inca origin. Together they mean, "shining serpent." Shakur means "thankful to God," from the Arabic language. Tupac, commonly known as America's most controversial rapper was labeled a gangster rapper and one of the largest figures in the rap community. He was always known for doing what he wanted and not caring what others thought of him. His life symbolized what a lot of people have gone through. Through his music and movies he showed how hard life can be. On June 16, 1971 Tupac was born to Alice Faye Williams in Brooklyn, NY. His mother was a "revolutionary" as she called herself "Afeni Shakur." For many years she associated herself with members of the well-known Black Panther Party. She joined a New York chapter of the Panther Party in 1964 and fell in love with an organizer, Lumumba Abdul Shakur. After four years with Lumumba, Afeni started to see another party member, William Garland who was another activist working with the party members to support their causes. Around this time things were going downhill for Afeni. In 1969 she and other members of the Panther were arrested and charged with several felony count
For a while she was a very loving mother. In May 1995, while still in the New York's Rickers Island penitentiary, Tupac married Keisha Morris. Along with his other albums, this was also controversial. That was the first time I saw there was white people who you could get along with. His first album "2Pacallyps Now" went gold. While all of this was going on with Tupac's rap career, he believed it was the best time to start his acting career. is it my fault, just cause I'm a young black male cop sweat me as if my destiny is makin' crack sells only 15 and got problems cops on my tail, so I bail till I dodge 'em they finally pull me over and I laugh remember Rodney King and I blast on his punk ass now I gotta murder case. Most teachers said he looked very promising; unfortunately he never finished school because his mother felt she needed an overall change. This is so sad, sometimes the lure of violent culture is so magnetic that even when one overcomes it with material success, it continues to call. (Tupac)This incident pushed Vice President Dan Quayel and a number of other politicians to call for a band on "gansta rap". Most believed the author was writing to a family member or to people who didn't like what he stood for. Although mostly white students attended the school, Tupac felt in touch with them. Tupac ended the song with the emphasis of being resurrected.
