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

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.

Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for 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...

Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...
