Tupac Shakur: Hip Hop "Scholar" & Cultural "Revolutionary"

Much talk and attention has been devoted to the profound effect and legacy of legend, Tupac Shakur. Tupac was the epitome of what one can classify as a "conscious" artist for he often incorporated dire and extremely relevant, and often times "ignored", socio-political themes and messages into his work, which at times, was overlooked by the public or the critics due to false attention being placed on the "controversial" aspect of his public persona or raps. Tupac represented a dichotomy, but it is that very dichotomy that made him a unique legend and the most loved and idolized personality in the history of hip hop music! The media had classified him as a "thug", whereas his true fans, and those with a deep intellectual understanding of his personality, message, and "vision", classified him as a true "revolutionary" out to better society, and out to serve as a social humanitarian advocating "truth seeking", "social justice", and "truth promoting". His ultimate goal as an artist was to encourage expansive thinking and self-empowerment, encouraging young people to let go of the shackles placed on their minds by society.
