Happy Birthday Pac
June 16th, 2010
Today, June 16th, we celebrate the 39th birthday of Tupac Shakur (2PAC). Take a moment to reflect on the artist, writer, poet, actor, and activist considered one of the greatest artists of All TIME (According to Rolling Stones Magazine and millions of fans worldwide). A discography spanning 11 albums, more than half released after his death, Pac is the highest selling rap artist with over 75 million albums sold worldwide. It makes you wonder what the game would be like if Pac was still alive? Would there still be an east/west coast divide? Whatever the case may be, we cannot ignore the impact that Pac has had on rap music. He gave a face to the hardships of growing up in the ghetto; amidst all the violence and racism, yet we were able relate to the struggle and bounce to it. Years after his untimely death, his music still echo’s on like a soundtrack to a generation. His music remains relevant..timeless even.
