Though Tupac was surrounded with much pain and sorrow he still knew how to have a good time. Everywhere he went he would put a smile on his friends face. The video shown below is perfect example of how he could do just that.

Where Were You When Tupac Died?
The following video shows various interviews of people close to Tupac describing where they were at the time of his death. His death was known as one of the most tragic days in rap. Everyone was quite shocked, Tupac had been shot before, no one expected him to die. Jada Smith was his best friend she described him as a "cat" having multiple lives. Like many others she never thought he'd leave ever so early.
Tupac Interview at 17
The following four videos feature Tupac in an interview at the age of 17. He touches on the topics of his fellow youth, how he was brought up, and what the future beholds. With every question the young Shakur replied with more than an answer, he had shared his philosophy. This just goes to show there was much more to Shakur than people have given him credit for. He was a great visionary.
The picture to the left was created with the use of Tagxedo. The online tool is much like wordle which highlights main words from a body of text. The text featured in this picture is from Tupac's album "All Eyez On Me". When analyzing the picture, I realize that Shakur was quite fixated on power. By using the words money, boss, and major repeatedly Pac paints a picture of a ambitious life. However, others may see this differently, if so leave a comment stating what you think his album meant.
Tupac Featuring MJ
The following music video was collaborated by me, Amritdeep Singh. The two songs featured in the video are Micheal Jackson's "They Don't Really Care About Us" & Tupac Shakur's "Holla if Ya Hear Me". Both of the lyrics flow together for Pac and Micheal both emphasize on inequality. Tupac was well known for his controversial lines and rebellious attitude. Most would say he got it from his mother who was part of the Black Panther Party. In other words, this video perfectly paints Tupac thuggish nature.
