Today in Black History, something happened that literally and unmistakably change the world. Today, in 1971 the greatest poet and some consider the greatest man of our generation was born. Tupac Amaru Shakur was born in East Harlem, NY.




Child of two (Mother) Afeni Shakur (and his father), Billy Garland, active members of the Black Panther Party in New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Tupac grew up with the Brotherhood, Responsibility, Black Identity, and Black Love that not only carried him through this journey of Manhood; but also through his music. Pac has and will always go down as the Greatest. It was Tupac love for art and artistic expression that first sparked his passion.


What made Tupac Great and still makes him Great is his self identity. He never ran away from the issues of Our Community. Tupac had intelligence that very few rappers, heck people possess. Tupac never feared anything, not even death. That why people, no matter their affiliation can appreciate and Love the Langston Hughes and William Shakespeare of our time.


If anything can be said about Tupac, is that he is a inspiration. Rather through his music, poetry, larger than life personality, and his head strong mentality. Tupac is a on going and continuous influence. A Rose That Grew Out of The Concrete. But more importantly a Rose that will never wilter.


Tupac is and will always be the greatest Rapper, Leader, Artist that we will ever see in the Hip Hop Generation.


Happy Birthday, Tupac
Will Miss You and Respect You
Rest In Peace

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college.

FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
