Story of Life, Death and Resurrection.
You know, the point is not to tell and show only positive or only negative character traits, to consecrate the figure of this man, to understand how it differs from dozens of the same as he was who he was. The idea is to give people who knew nothing about it and have never encountered with his music, information that he lived / lives of such people. Before you start reading his biography and my commentary on his life, death and resurrection, try to understand what it is – a legend, and people do not want to let him off. They do not want to admit that they are left an incredible man. Whoever he was, he remains a genius. If it all my life to play it over the role, then he did it truly divine. If he was living a criminal life, so he is it and created. If he just lived his fate, then the director of this life could speak only the Lord God …. So where do all begin? ….
It all began back in February 1971 the second, when Afeni Shakur (real name – Alice Faye Williams) went to prison for taking part in the revolutionary group the Black Panthers. This organization has been active fighting for the rights of black people in the 60th years in America. Rise in New York caused the sea to the Government of indignation, and they are more serious about the Black Panthers. And so, during one of the demonstrations, Afeni with several other women came to the police. As a result, all of them were sentenced to prison. By the time she was five months pregnant. In her womb she carried the child, whose father was not her lawful husband, Lumumba Shakur, and a uncle named Billy Garland (Billie Garland). But Lumumba, after learning about pregnancy Afeni, threw it. He threw his wife, as do thousands of men around the world, has left a black woman without a livelihood, so even with a small child. By the way, Tupac believed his father, a revolutionary, also included in the group “Black Panthers”, Mutullu Shakur, who is the father half-sister by the name of Tupac Sekayva. He was incredibly similar to Tupac, and showed itself to greater attention. So, in prison his mother had no chance of having a healthy baby. The fact is that on the day Afeni relied only one glass of water and one egg. It was his double with his son. It ceased to hope that her being born a normal child. But for some reason, this African-American woman, the Lord was gracious. By mid-June Afeni released from the chamber, and her son be born in the wild, born free. 16 th June 1971 at New York University Hospital was born a boy, who was named Liseyn Parish Crooks (Lesane Parish Crooks). So, date of birth – the number 16. If we add these two numbers, then get 7, a number that later will be accompanied by the boy’s life. Oddly enough, the boy was born, surprisingly strong, he properly weighed, and kept shouting. Mom was already able to be proud of. And in Tupac Shakur Liseyn become thanks to his “godfather” to his father – leader of the Black Panthers on the West Coast Dzheronimmo Pratt (Geronimmo Pratt). He called the boy that name, because it had already guessed that the black man will be known around the world.
Tupac Amaru in the language of the ancient Inca means “shining (brilliant), a slave” (shinning serpent), and Shakur in Arabic – thankful (thankful to God). So, let’s try a little bit to reflect on this name. The word “slave” of course, refer to black people, who for centuries has been oppressed by white people. Remember that freedom of the slaves received only during the reign of Lincoln. Thus, the “slave” – a symbol, a tribute to history and the memory of ancestors. A ‘glowing / brilliant “it is because the soul of Tupac shining, burning and emits invisible light, energy, heat, which affects the others. Dzheronimmo Pratt had a little boy noticed his potential power, from which there was a chill, and which subsequently will be afraid of all the many enemies of Tupac. Well, “thank God” it for what he gave his life. He’s almost 23 years, until November 1994-the first thought that his father was dead, said his mother. And what else can he be thankful to the Lord? Maybe because he gave him a talent, the talent of the poet, actor, musician. … God was the only one who helped the black guy to grow, understand life, listening to his thoughts, gave him a needed hope. And for all this Tupac was on his eyelids “thankful” …
Childhood Tupac is in the permanent removal. The family is torn between Harlem and the Bronx., The most dangerous areas of New York. He received his first nickname, everyone calls him the Black Prince (Black Prince). At this time the family Shakurov is a man named Legs (Legs). This gangster, he was selling drugs, and did everything he could to bring the money. He taught Afeni to crack. She sat down heavily on him and Tupac knows about it only in 1990, during his first tour in the life of the group Digital Underground. Tupac began calling Leggs father. But Leggs stepped onto the path leading only to one place – it is sent to prison for stealing credit cards. Afeni takes his son, and in June 1986 they went to the West, in Baltimore. And when Afeni calls Leggs to announce that they have moved, she learns that he died from an overdose of crack. Because of this the death of Tupac very worried. He spent whole days crying and said that he did not have enough dad. In September the same year Tupac comes in the Baltimore School of Art, where he taught ballet and acting. Tupac loved to play the role of other people. In his diary he wrote that he would one day become a famous actor. He said that he likes to forget the present and transform into people who, unlike him, life is good. He is very busy with rap. He begins to write his poetry and calls himself MC New York, making people think he is a dangerous guy. Beside him is already in 16 years, spinning mass of people. But they soon moved with his mother again. At this time their new place of residence to become a town Marin, California (Marin City, California). “Leaving that school affected me very” – he said later – “I think it was the beginning of my failure.” While Tupac was befriended by a neighbor and begins selling crack himself. He did not even suspect that his mother herself is heavily dependent on the drug. In this small town, it becomes very popular. It is present on all parties, raps with friends and get the needed reputation. His friends recall that he would never go to any retreat. For example, there was an incident when he slept with a girl and her boyfriend did not like. The fellow, by the way, was two times longer Tupac, and he wanted only to never see nothing. So, this guy with his two friends coming to Shakur for “showdown”. He was alone, and he had no chance of winning, but he was the first “vmazal” this healthy Negro. Of course, in the end he was beaten, but since then it began to be respected. Closer to the 1990th, he became member of the group Digital Underground. In it he appears as a dancer and rapper. They put on concerts in Marin City and working on recording their debut album. New Tupac appears in the song “The Same Song” from the album “This Is An EP Release”. He also participates in the work on their next album the group – “Sons Of The P.” In 1990 the year he was going to tour with the cities of America and discovers that his mother is using crack. More precisely, his friends told him that his mother had bought drugs from them. His mother, his hero, has lost self-respect by his son. He sends her back to New York, so she worked there Producing Company 2pacalypse Comp., Who worked on his debut solo album Tupac. And on Nov. 12, 1991 is released the album “2Pacalypse Now”. By this time on account of Tupac Shakur was eight arrests. The album sold fairly well and Tupac become known. He now has money to buy himself the grass and walk with friends. In January 1992, the movie comes out in theaters Ernest Dickerson “high” / “Juice” (”Juice”). Tupac played there gangster Bishop, iconoclast who do not care. That same year, a Ronald Ray Howard, a nineteen-man kills a Texas police officer. Attorney Howard accused “2Pacalypse Now” in a bad influence on adolescent brain. Tupac learned about this case only a few months. Shakur’s reputation is on the decline, but if you look on the other hand, on the contrary, increases in geometric progression. During the concert in Marin City at the hands of local bandits kill 6-year-old boy, and again blamed Pak. Vice-President Kvayl Day (Day Quayle) said that “this album has no place in our society.” Especially accuse such songs as: “Soldja’s Story” (”History of the soldier”, “Trapped” (”Captives”), “I don’t give a fuck” (”I’m af * Th”), etc. In spite of this all on 1 February 1993 in light of her second solo album by Tupac Shakur “Strictly 4 my NIGGAZ” (”Only for my N.I.G.E.R.O.V..”) album is not as strong as the first, but then it was akin to sensation. Especially I wish to point out such unconditioned hits like “Keep Ya Head Up” (”Do not drop your head”) and “Papa’z Song” (”Father’s Song”). In the first of Pak tells them about his attitude toward women. It was the first time that such a gangster and a bully sang this beautiful song. Tupac refers to the entire male sex, why do they rape women … you know it, they decide when to give birth to life, and yet men are not learned how to do it themselves, they have no right to tell a woman when and where to engender this life …. “And the second song Tupac exposes festering for a theme – the lack of a number of his father. He accuses the pope that he threw it from her mother. The song becomes a hit, and many thought support for Tupac. Shakur became the King of the ghetto. He was arrested for a fight with the driver of the limousine, which banned smoking weed Paku in the car. In Michigan during the performance of local rapper Tupac ran onto the stage with a baseball bat and smashed the guy face. They put him in ten days in jail. But he did not care. His life is 100 percent complete. He sees the world from the inside. He sees that the mud is so well-veiled by the government. His name became known around the world. In July of this same year on the screens there is one more movie with Tupac and Janet Jackson in the lead roles – “Poetic Justice” (”Poetic Justice” – not “justice” because the heroine is called Janet Justis, contrast …). heroine Jackson, desperate girl , which recently lost a close friend, looking for the meaning of life. And then she meets a guy named Meme (Lucky – lucky), the role played by Tupac. At first they did not get along, but then between them there is a feeling of love. But life is not very Shakur similar to the movie – October 31, Tupac again finds himself in a prison in Atlanta. At this time, seeing as the two white police officers beating a black motorcyclist, Tupac opened fire on them with a pistol. And on Nov. 18 Pac Life has changed dramatically. … He met this girl . He did not even know her name. He only remembers that it was a huge bust …. It is like many other girls offered him sex. Well, he was no fool, and one night they spent together. And already The following day he again met her. She decided that Pak is now her boyfriend and was trying to show it. She wanted to continue the previous night. But he no longer wanted. Then three of his friends from a New York criminal gang decided to take a seat Paca, and raped her brutally. At this time, Tupac was asleep, nor suspecting nothing. When he regained consciousness, two policemen came to his house to pick him up at the police station, because the girl gave to him in court. While attending the trial, he can star in the movie “On the edge” / “over the ring” (”Above the rim”). In September 1994, two teenagers from Milwaukee killed a policeman and in his own defense put the song Tupac “Soldja’s Story” (”History Soldier “). The troubles do not end, but rather only the beginning …
At a time when Tupac released his second album, he was very popular in America, and thousands of young rappers like him to emulate. And one of them was a man Kristoffer Wallace (Christopher Wallace). Tupac met him in New York and for some reason decided to help him become rich. Chris began to call themselves Notary Bi.Ay.Dzhi. (Notorious BIG) or Smolzom Biggie (Biggie Smallz). Tupac taught him how to rap, about what to tell, and how to make people believe in what you say. In addition, Park has invested money in a fat paw Biggie. Himself Smollz signed a contract with the most influential record company East Coast Bad Boy Ent. (”Bad Boys”), the head of which was (and is by now), Sean “P. Diddy” Kombz (Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs). So, all went well, Tupac went off the top – the soundtrack was recorded with a group of “Thug Life” (”Life Killer / Gangster”) for the film “On the edge” sold more than two million copies. And Biggie also started slowly on their feet . And when the calendar was 30 November 1994, something happened that had happened. Tupac with his close friend rapper Stretch (Stretch) and his guys were sent on a visit to Dee Jay Ron Gee. (Ron G. DJ) to write him a song. They walked a guy and asked Pak to take part in recording an album for Sean Little (Little Shawn). For the money, of course. When they arrived at the studio, Tupac was a little nervous, but when he heard a voice from above Little Caesar (Little Ceasar), a close friend Biggie, Pac’s heart felt lighter. But still he was not himself, because this guy, with whom they come, I knew Nigel. And Nigel was one of those who raped the very same girl. They Tupac were not great friends, but rather good friends. But that Nigel was associated with a major criminal group, and apart from the problems of it was nothing to wait. Tupac never trusted him. All the money of Tupac, which he earned at the concerts were his lawyers, and fees from the movie – the family. Therefore, all that he paid other rappers had the money with which he lived. But sometimes buying a jewel. So one day, in the presence of Nigel, Tupac got a gold Rolex and a gold chain worth 40,000 dollars. A week ago, Biggie Paku said that he had “sharpened teeth” a King Tutt and his boys. Then Tupac did not pay for it their attention. So, the night of 30 November together with the Tupac were Stretch, his friend Fred (Fred ), and the boyfriend’s sister Pak – Zane (Zane). At the time, Tupac has not been a bodyguard. Going into the studio, the boys saw a man sitting in a chair reading a newspaper. He glanced at those who came, and again lowered his head. Tupac said later: “I’ve never met a black person who did not accompany me eyes, or envy, or vice versa – with respect.” A moment later the room included two other black men. Tupac thought it was Biggie’s bodyguards, but he remembered that even they love it, but these two were obviously aggressive mood. When Stretch Tupac pulled up to the elevator, the two men took out his gun and shouted: “Nobody move. Everything on the floor. You know what it was. Reach for my stuff! “. The first thought that visited Tupac was,” What can we do? “. He thought that Stretch will fight, he hated such a nigger. And the idea the first thing the robbers had cut itself a healthy guy, but this was exactly Stretch. But they did not touch him and went to Paku. All fell to the floor, and Park continued to stand. “No, I’m not that brave, or something like that, I just could not lie on the ground.” Those negros come and check to see whether the armed Pak, ordered him to remove all jewelry. But Tupac did not move. One of the attackers shouted: “Shoot the bastard!.” cold muzzle of the gun pressed against his stomach Tupac. “That’s when I’m really scared.” Shakur tried to remove the gun away, but a shot sounded and Park fell on one leg. He did not know that he was shot in the eggs. “The only thing I thought was to pretend that I’m dead.” Nigeria has to beat his feet on his body and head. Tupac just silent. They took a gold chain and watch. Tupac closed his eyes. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in the neck, as if his head hit the concrete. “All I saw was a white background. I felt nothing and heard nothing. I thought that I was unconscious, but I was conscious. I again felt the pain. And again, hearing me come back. Another shot – and I’m back in silence. I saw nothing, only a white background. They fired at me again, I heard a voice … “He continued to beat him. Finally robbers withdrew, and Tupac tried to get up. It was done five rounds: in the leg, groin, two in the stomach and head. But he stood up and walked out of the building. On the street, as if nothing had happened, there was a police car. Tupac came into the room and the elevator upstairs. What he saw there left him in shock. There was, and P. Diddy and Biggie Smollz, there was somewhere forty people, and everyone was much more precious than Tupac. “Their faces were surprised to see me.
