It's Saturday, the sun's rays of heat makes it another golden, California day...and June 16, 1971 is the day one of hip hop's greatest emcee's in the rap game - Tupac Shakur [aka: 2Pac, Makaveli] - was born.
Anyone with half a brain and exposure to mass media pretty much knows, or will eventually hear about, the celebrated life and legendary lyrical 'spit-flow' of a born rap soldier:
Tupac Amaru Shakur
While most rappers do just that - rap, Pac was, and obviously still is (2K12 hologram at Coachella), much more than an MC, or a thug for that matter.
A spiritual-soldier of great intellectual fortune, Makaveli was blessed with unprecedented and unmatched skills (writer, actor, MC, activist, producer, poet, revolutionary, screenwriter, humanitarian) and a voice that penetrated the heart & soul of massive audiences the world over - one love!
And even though murder was the case they gave him, executed in Las Vegas - 1996, Pac gave us all 100% real, raw, rough, and romantic insight into the mind of [a] prophetic genius who became a threat to many forces...and some might argue, even to himself.
Regardless of how his spirit transcended our sense of dimension, time and space -- the life and 1-LOVE-THUG-PASSION of Tupac Shakur, no-doubt, lives on...and rocks beyond the break of dawn. Happy 'born-day', Pac. Hit em up!
Big SHOUT-OUT to his mother, Afeni Shakur,
and the 'party' that helped raise a son who reminded us of hip hop's universal message of [thug] love, peace and unity.
