15 years gone and his music still moves me the way it did back then.

I heard Brenda's got a baby,
but Brenda's barely got a brain.
A damn shame, the girl can hardly spell her name.
~ Brenda's Got a Baby by TuPac
I can remember hearing "Brenda's got a Baby" back in the day...middle school...and it was profound. Huge for me. It opened my eyes to a world, I hadn't yet experienced, but soon would with friends in high school.
Today I remember TuPac. For the music he left us for eternity. R.I.P.
Great post! Love, love, love Tupac. I remember exactly where I was when the news came out. Crazy it was 15 years ago! It was a leeetle later than middle school for me...but not that much. Who am I kidding, I'm old!

ReplyDeletelyrical genius, that man was!
RIP tupac...you are forever in my cali loving, gangsta rapping heart.

ReplyDeleteTupac. It wasn't until I in college (college!) that I was introduced to him. His music is so moving and can I say, how beautiful he is...especially his eyes. I would like to believe that if he were still alive today, his music would be unstoppable.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy? I often wonder how his life would have turned out if he were still with us. I STILL love all his music. It seems the greatest ones are taken all too soon.
