We wanted to wish a happy birthday to the late Tupac Shakur. Regardless of your view on Tupac it cannot be denied that he was one of the most important artists to date, not only in Hip Hop. Tupac has sold almost 80 million records making him one of the top selling artists of all time. His music transcends language barriers as we find his fans in all 4 corners of the earth. Born June 16, 1971 into a very revolutionary family, and it was rumored he was of royal African lineage. The depth of Tupac's music is unmatched.To understand anyone is to understand their beginnings, so we chose Papa'z Song from Tupac to demostrate his harsh upbringing so you can better understand one aspect of his life. Please take a moment and listen to an early Tupac speak about his adolescence on "Papa'z Song"
"Manchild in the promiseland , couldnt afford many heroes, moms was the only one there my pops was a no show..." -Tupac Shakur (Papaz Song 1993)
