Tupac Amaru Shaker: A Study to Determine Whether He is Alive or Dead.
I am what I would consider an average teenager involved in school, sports, and friends, but another extremely important aspect of a teenager's life today is music. Like most male teenagers of today, I am completely infatuated with Hip-Hop Culture. I love every aspect of their lifestyles, especially their music, Rap Music. Most self-respecting Hip-Hoppers know of the greatest rapper to ever walk the streets of this earth, Tupac Amour Shaker. Tupac is more widely know as simply 2Pac or his more recent alter ego, Makaveli. The first time I heard any type of rap music I was intrigued with the fact that they were allowed to use cuss words and no one was correcting them or telling them to stop. It was simply amazing; from then on, I listened as much as I could because those things were totally unheard of in my childhood. Although that is when I began listening to rap, I never really listened. I could decipher the words they were using, better than most kids I knew!.
could, but I had never really pieced together what they actually meant. There was, are, and will always be the guys who just rap about killing people, but many rhyme about things far deeper in meaning than that. As I listened to many of Tupac's songs, I found a deep writer who described things how he saw them. As I listened, I began thinking how great it would be to have a talent such as his. I immediately began working on my singing and songwriting talents. Just when I began to feel as if I was becoming good, I heard horrible news. Tupac had been shot leaving a boxing match in Las Vegas. Seven days later, he was pronounced dead. I was crushed; so was my dream. A man that I saw as invincible because of his profession and lifestyle was dead and no one knew why. Weeks after his death many rumors began to surface that Tupac was alive and had only faked his death.
