2pac- Keep your head up

This past Sunday I was at my friend’s house, and we were flipping through the channels looking for something to watch. He stopped on a movie about 2pac Shakur. It was him talking about his life from child to adult. I have always liked his music, but after watching this I had a much better understanding of who he actually was as a person. I just thought I’d give some interesting facts.  I learned that he grew up in a rough neighborhood, and when he started getting famous he would do things to try and help make places like where he grew up better. He would do concerts to raise money. When he was a teenager, he got accepted to a performing arts school where he learned drama and dance. Later on he joined the Oakland, California-based hip-hop group Digital Underground, and he was a backup dancer for them in the song “The Humpty Dance.” 2Pac was shot five times during a mugging in the lobby of a recording studio. He accused Biggie and some other people of setting him up. This later caused the big war against east coast and west coast rappers. He also did a lot of acting aside from rapping. My favorite is Juice. He is a really good actor in my opinion. 2pac was shot on his way to a boxing match, and later died in the hospital. Even though he isn’t alive, his music is still alive and strong. He’s a perfect example that it’s not impossible to come from nothing and become something great.
