People love to see the ugly in others... they'd rather bask in someone's misfortune than glorify the beauty in them... isn't that a form of prejection?
My friend, Kang [hi, kangies], says that Tupac's life was a Shakespearean tragedy, and I completely agree. Born into misery, pulling strength from within, completely changing the world with his commandeering persona... he was too good. Too good to be alive for very long. People don't like to be overshadowed... and he overshadowed so many with his glow. Of course, the media embellished his thug appeal... turning his tattoo into the essence of his being. There was so much more to Tupac than him spittin' atrocities into a microphone....
Lino [hi, linooo] sent me this link to Tupac's first MTV interview, which never aired. I've watched it so many times already... each time hurting a little more... to the point of tears. Seriously. Watch for yourself and see what I mean...

I feel him so much on this. For those of us born into nothing, we must create the empire. We must create the prophecy. We must create the dream and live it... If it doesn't start with us, it doesn't start anywhere.
