As y'all probably know, yesterday was the great Tupac birthday. This amazing poet, activist, actor, human being forever change the world. Rather through the music industry or his lyrics pertaining to every day life; Tupac made a permanent impact on society.
Tupac said something in a interview one time that always stuck with me. He said, “I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.”
Dang, that deep. Since last night though, this question or questions has been on my mind.
What was Tupac goal?
What did he want from this next generation?
What was Tupac legacy or idea for US as a People?
Therefore, I am going to try talk about what I see was Tupac's Vision via his lyrics and quotes.
Anybody who knew Tupac personally or were blessed to meet him in person know that Tupac had the heart of the people. There are numerous stories of Tupac stopping in the street and just talking to the people. There are stories of him inviting fans that he did not even know to the club and letting them sit in his section. It was even said that during the uprising (or as some say the riots) in California Tupac got out of his car detail and start signing stolen copies of his own albums (albums that he would not make a dime off of, because they were not purchased).
There, 1. He had the heart of the people.
2. Tupac was not like the Rappers or silence-is-consent cowards out here in society. (Watch after reading entire article) "Tupac Warns Us About Young Thug"

3. Tupac Spoke Out (He was not silent)
Watch after reading entire article. "Being Black In America Is Hard"

In all of Tupac Lyrics and ideas, one thing is clear Tupac was outspoken. Further, the many things that he spoke out about were racial equality, black love, self-black love, Afro-power, economical equality, and any major issue facing OUR COMMUNITY.
Tupac knew the power that music possess. Even bigger than that Tupac knew that power that WE as a People possess.
4. Tupac wanted US, Black Males to respect OUR WOMEN!

5. Tupac was the definition Freedom, but with the exception of being "caged."
What I mean is Tupac lived as free as possible. So, free that only his earthly death could bring more freedom from his earthly lifestyle. As stated yesterday, Tupac did not fear anything including death. Therefore, to fully understand Tupac's Life and Legacy; you have to know his ideas about his own Life Expectancy.
In other words,
Tupac was so free that not even his early death (which he predicted) never change his bold, brave, and free spirit.
In closing, Tupac was a incredible and one-of-a-kind Man. He had a mind like Malcolm, Flow of Words Like Langston, and Universe Impact like Dr. King.
In my opinion, Tupac is not Hip-Hop Royalty; but the KING of Hip-Hop.
Tupac is the greatest MAN (ALL-TIME) of the Hip-Hop Generation.
Tupac was unarguably one of the greatest and most influential man to walk the face of the earth.
Tupac Legacy is Forever. Tupac is forever. Tupac will live on forever.
For Heroes are Remember, but Legends never die.
