Tupac Shakur was considered one of the greatest rappers of his era at the time of his death in September of 1996?
I believe that Tupac was one of the greatest rappers, not only of his own era, but of all eras. Unfortunately, either he seemed to find trouble a lot, or if seemed to find him. For awhile there, it seemed hard to find anyone who WASN'T rumored to be involved in his shooting, and yes, there are probably still those around who are certain that he is on an island somewhere chillin' with Elvis.
Personally, I believe the fact that Suge Kinght was driving the car and was actually hit in the head by a bullet is the strongest evidence AGAINST him being involved. Think about it, wouldn't your first instruction to a shooter be "make sure I'm not around and if I am, DON'T HIT ME! "?
Most likely to be gang related, Rap industry hit men (rumored) seem to lack the precision of the infamous mafia professional hits carried out with a single shot to a "kill spot". Instead, they tend to prefer spraying the entire area (or neighborhood) with multiple rounds, on the off chance that they will actually hit their target. Who can deny the fun of wildly firing auto or semi-auto weapons out the window of a moving car while screaming gang slogans and trying to keep your bling from getting caught in the moving gun parts.
If any of the theories are true, it seems more likely that Orlando Anderson killed him in retaliation for a beating earlier that same night. Notorious B.I.G. May or may not have been involved to the extent that he may have supplied the gun, but I don't believe he paid Anderson, I don't think he would have any need to do so. I think Anderson was probably happy to carry out his revenge without any further motivation.
On March 17, 2008, Chuck Philips wrote a Los Angeles Times article stating that Jimmy Henchman, a hip hop talent manager, ordered a trio of thugs to rough up Shakur. The article, which was later retracted by the LA Times because it partially relied on FBI documents which turned out to be forged 48 was thought to be vindicated in 2011 when Dexter Isaac admitted to attacking Tupac on orders from Henchman. 495051 Following Isaac’s public confession, Philips corroborated Isaac as one (among many) of his key unnamed sources.
52 In a 9-167 exclusive for the Village Voice, Philips reported that Jimmy Henchman admitted to setting up Tupac's ambush during one of nine "Queen For A Day" proffer sessions with the government in autumn of 2011, according to prosecutors,5354 key evidence supporting Philips' theory of the attack. Shakur began serving his prison sentence at Clinton Correctional Facility on 9-169. Shortly afterward, he released his multi-platinum album Me Against the World.
Shakur became the first artist to have an album at number one on the Billboard 200 while serving a prison sentence. Me Against the World made its debut on the Billboard 200 and stayed at the top of the charts for four weeks. The album sold 240,000 copies in its first week, setting a record for highest first week sales for a solo male rap artist at the time.
55 While serving his sentence, he married his long-time girlfriend, Keisha Morris, on April 4, 1995; the couple divorced in 1996. 56 While imprisoned, Shakur read many books by Niccolò Machiavelli, Sun Tzu's The Art of War and other works of political philosophy and strategy. 57 He wrote a screenplay titled Live 2 Tell while incarcerated, a story about an adolescent who becomes a drug baron.
The album was very well received, with many calling it the magnum opus of his career. It is considered one of the greatest and most influential hip hop albums of all-time. It is his fourth biggest selling album with 2,439,000 units moved to date.
59 Me Against the World won best rap album at the 1996 Soul Train Music Awards.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
