Not only was his music influential, but his values and beliefs were also as powerful. Tupac was raised by the Black Panther party, and this transformed him into a revolutionary icon who was using music as a way to educate the world about the society he lived in. I didn't know tupac personally, but through his music and by watching all the interviews and speeches that he was a part of, I realized that Tupac was not a gangster, killer or a criminal. Tupac simply spoke the truth and for whatever reason the truth he spoke, was too much for society to handle, therefore portarying him as a bad person.
