HAPPY BIRTHDAY: TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR

"I wanna thank the Lord for the life of Tupac Shakur." - Dom Kennedy

       Yesterday, JUNE 16TH was the birthday of the arguably greatest, sold over 75 million albums worldwide, most influential, controversial, inspiring and groundbreaking MC of all time. Now I would love to use this as a platform to debate on how he is better than Biggie, hiding somewhere comfortably in a hut on a beach out in Cuba, how articulate and versatile he was, how I hated Bishop so much thus proving his convincing and promising acting skills, etc. But he was bigger than words, hip-hop and the title of a rapper; Tupac was an artist. So it is only fair that we celebrate Cali style with my favorite work* by Makaveli himself in all of its goodness. Happy birthday!* While Pac was in jail during the time the video for the single 'Temptations' (down below) was produced, his friends helped him out to shoot the video while he was gone. Subsequently, while Pac was in jail, Me Against the World went #1. Now tell me that doesn't make him the greatest?
