Tupac Amaru Shakur was probably the realest rapper who ever lived. He grew up poor, sometimes homeless. But his parents raised him to be aware of the condition of his people and to live to do something about it.

His life experiences bore witness to what he had been taught, but being a Blackman in America causes our Brothers to behave in a manner that is other than themselves, if their foundation is not that of Islam, regardless of how socially conscious they may be.

Tupac was very outspoken and this duality (consciousness and thug life) manifested itself in his music and interviews.

Unfortunately, he never got the chance to psychologically mature and possibly grow out of the “wildin’ out” of his youth. He clearly had ideas and a program for the upliftment of his people.

Here is just one example of his reformative views on the wicked and evil treatment of his people – The So-Called American Negroes – by their former slavemasters, the devil Caucasians.
