Tupac
I watched a Tupac documentary on Paladia today and have turned into a West coast gangsta wannabe. I am bobbing my head to some old school, think late 1990's, Pac. I am contemplating the purpose of the bandanna tied just inches above the forehead that immediately brings back memories of West coast vs East coast rhymes. Pac, regardless of his time in the pen and gangsta following was an amazing artist. His raps can actually ooze of sappiness. Take Dear Mama for example. "You are appreciated...and even as a crack fiend mama you always was a queen mama..." Then there's the inspirational song, "Wonder Why They Call You Bitch", which teaches the kids that being a whore, or walking the blade, is NOT they way. "Keep your mind on the money and enroll in school." Not only does Pac love his Mama but he is authentically concerned about the education of our kids. So, I wear my backward bandanna with pride, flash "WESTSIDE" and say RIP to Pac.
