tupac 2


Back when I was first introduced to Tupac and his music I started doing resarch on him. When I found out that he was shot and killed on September 7th, 1996, it was really sad news to me. After I had started listening to his music I was really hoping I'd get to attend one of his concerts one day. He was shot after a boxing match in Las Vegas and his killer was never found. 



Then the Tupac conspiracies starting arising and everyone started saying that Tupac might still be alive. That he  never died, but rather he ran away from the hospital and went to Jamaica, some said Africa. This really had me thinking so I did more research on the topic. People had pictures of him in places and I began questioning what was true and what was not. The media had got me thinking he is alive and I become hopeful that I might have a chance to maybe see him and meet him one day. However, I snapped out of it all and reminded myself that this was all people and media talking. He was killed and there were police and hospital reports as evidence to prove it all.

  1. So was the media just photoshopping Tupac face on to people in Africa? How can you tell that the pictures of the so called Tupacs weren't real?

  2. I commented on this before but my comment is gone? I had said that in the media Tupac was this big gangsta rap star. And he was, but he was also, a young activist. He had strong believes and philosophies, on education, sexual health, and so many other things that were never emphasized. There are many videos on youtube of him speaking on these topic, I would suggest that you do a little research on is. It would be really interesting. There's also a documentary on netflix.
