2 PAC- a martyr of gangster rap and a tragic symbol of African-American culture. At the beginning of his acting career, no one would believe that such a black boy would become one of the greatest rappers in the 1990s. At first, he was just an alternate rapper and dancer in the digital underground. At 1992, he released his acclaimed debut album "2 Pacalypse Now", and then he made a series of "star-making" changes. After a year's process, his overall level has been comprehensively improved, and his popularity has also been improved. By 1994, 2pac has become the most controversial figure in the rap circle, because he spent as much time in prison as in the recording studio. His prison career helped his album I Against the World (1995) soar to the top of the charts. However, as the album Dear Mom sings, "He can be very sensitive and violent". After signing death row at the end of 1995, 2pac released his two albums "All Eyez on me" in the spring of 1996. This album and its title song "Love in California" further established his superstar status. Unfortunately, the gangster lifestyle he promoted in his music soon replaced his own life. When he reached the peak of unemployment, he openly attacked his competitor "the notorious B.I.G (Unless someone kills you, you are nothing)", and a tense atmosphere began to brew on death row. Just as these situations followed, 1996 was filmed outside 2pac. On September 3rd, 6 days after filming, 2pac left us forever, leaving only music showing his lifestyle.

While in prison, he also began to produce his third album, Me Against the World, which was released in March of the same year and topped the charts. He was also the first artist to win this honor in prison.

The whole process of 2PAC death

1September 1996 13, tupac shakur was shot four times and died six days later, at the age of 25. This year is the sixth Zhou Nianji, a young black man with a stage name of 2PC. His death, his music and the cultural significance of rap he represented have once again become topics. In June of 5438+00, two weeks after his death, the debates, speeches and fights about him in Fulton Street Square in downtown Brooklyn (the holy land of new york rappers) still showed no signs of ending. The mainstream media in the United States have also dug up this headless case and hyped it again. There are many new publications about Tupac, including private live recordings circulated by fans, a low-budget documentary, a book about catching shadows and a news survey conducted by Pulitzer Prize winner Chuck Lipps in the Los Angeles Times.

& gt& gt died in the wrong place.

It is not as tragic as Kurt Cobain's suicide, as happy as John Lennon's death in the street by his admirer, or as bizarre as jim morrison's blood vessel burst in the bathtub. Unlike jimi hendrix, who choked to death on the bed of the world women's figure skating champion because of overdose of sleeping pills, Tupac's death is not appropriate compared with all those rock musicians who died against the world, similar to a joke revenge that God suddenly remembered after ignoring this man's sin for a long time, or, if this is fate, it has nothing to do with what he hopes to express through music. The only person who can compare with Tupac is Brian Jones, the soul of the Rolling Stones. The genius who was swept out of the house by the band because he was addicted to drugs drowned in his swimming pool with his back to the moon. Their death is like some kind of traffic accident-the brakes fail, and then the wheels run over a small pebble or pit on the road, and then the car flies out, rolls over, catches fire, explodes and becomes fragments. Among more and more followers of Tupac, a large number of people first regard their idols as gangsters who use violence to express their self-resistance attitude, and then they are musicians. His life can be regarded as a microcosm of the living experience and lifestyle of urban black youth in the United States, and his lyrics are a magnifying glass, showing all kinds of details of this living experience and lifestyle, which can be used to criticize, laugh at themselves, attack or show off. This curve is natural and conscious, smooth and violent from beginning to end. The final result of Tupac's murder depends on his skin color and his attitude towards this skin color, and the music before his death also showed clues early. One year before his death, he said, "I think I will die before I am 30." And he also predicted his fate in the single "My Wardrobe Roaddogz": "Even if I die now, my life will last forever."

& gt& gt Dear Mother

When Tupac's only relative, his mother alice faye Williams, was pregnant with him, she told her husband, a black folk gang, that the baby in her belly was not his. Shortly after the divorce, she was imprisoned for "trying to overthrow the government" and gave birth in prison. Not only Tupac herself, but also Alice herself is not sure who her father is-"This doesn't prove that she is a slut, she must have had an unusual experience." Tupac said. Indeed, Alice, who has participated in gang activities all the year round and believes that racial rights can only be obtained through violence, and calls herself a "revolutionary figure", has a tortuous and turbulent life. Her influence is engraved on every detail of Tupac's life, and her feelings for her mother can be felt from the touching Dear Mom. Alice's views on politics, resistance, sex and personal freedom are all reflected through her son's mouth. Even after Tupac said, "I have been doing what my mother taught me until one day I found that she can't teach me anything anymore", this is reflected in his paranoid and naive views on politics in his lyrics. He will never forget that when he was a child, whenever he did something wrong, his mother would punish him for reading a full page of The New York Times, and his mother's hatred for whites and the state machine represented by whites, as well as her strong sense of black race, always seemed so difficult to scrutinize when reflected in his lyrics, especially compared with other contemporary black rappers who were good at making political jokes, such as Public Enemy and Ice T. The mother wants to give her son a sense of justice in values, but his son hangs it on his clothes as a badge; But the son inherited his mother's understanding of life and took this attitude to the extreme as a symbol-violence, indulgence and drugs are the best remedies to deal with pain. As a black rap star, the last thing you should forget is to hold out your middle finger when taking pictures. When Alice got the news of her son's death, she was as cool as a cucumber when faced with the routine inquiry from the police officer. She said, "My son is unmarried and has no children. His full name is Tupac Amaru Shakur. " Other than that, she said nothing. I don't know whether this extraordinary calm comes from the blow of bad news, or whether she made an accurate divination for her son's fate early in the morning.

& gt& gt Be an ideal underworld.

With the rough life of his mother moving from one suburb to another, Tupac had no fixed friends in his childhood, and poverty and fatherlessness made him a sensitive, withdrawn and self-respecting child. He began to write poetry when he was very young, which is naturally rare for a slum black child with almost no education. /kloc-When he was 0/2 years old, he decided to be an actor. His first role was "a man sleeping in a bed". He said, "When I close my eyes on the stage, I feel that I am the only one in the world, and I can do anything", and concluded, "I have the ability to forget my original self and devote myself wholeheartedly to other people's lives. I was born an actor. " Escape from real life, even when his record sales exceeded five platinum, still exists as inertia and becomes the most attractive part of his rap, because the depression, jealousy, pain, mutual deception, love, desire and anger mentioned in his lyrics are unrealistic topics and cannot be accused of being "dishonest". Today's rap master Puffu Daddy said: "He is an example and will not give in to any elaborate lies. Like a leader, like falak Khan, the leader of the Islamic nation. People believe what he said, and they accept what he said with their hearts. There were excellent musicians in the rap camp in the 1990s, but all they had was music and vague complaints. Tupac is an ideal person. " Tupac suffered the fate of skin color, but he erased racial color from music. A large number of white young people regard him as an idol, which is evidence. He speaks from the angle of human heart rather than human skin, which is the biggest difference between him and his mother.

& gt& gt Rich people

Gang life ruined Tupac's life, but it perfected his music in another way. 1992, a stray bullet from his pistol killed a 6-year-old boy who was watching, and the charge was finally dropped due to insufficient evidence; 1993 10 He was accused of shooting two policemen on duty in Atlanta, and a month later he and two followers were charged with sexually harassing a female fan. During his bail, he was shot and killed by two gunmen in the studio lounge; 1February 1995, sentenced to four and a half years in prison. When his third album "I Against the World" was released in March, he was already in prison. As this album topped the billboard album charts in the United States, Tupac became the first prisoner to have a champion record. After that, he only stayed in prison for eight months. His record company used it. Tupac has always suspected that his attack on the recording studio was related to B.I.G (a West Coast rapper almost as famous as Tupac) and his close friend Randy Walker. As soon as he got out of prison, Walker died in a triad homicide on June 30th. 165438. Tupac's murder case in 1996 is still inconclusive, and there are two stories circulating among the people and the media. The black rap camp on the east and west coasts of the United States is incompatible, and Tupac and B.I.G are only representatives of this camp. In their respective songs, the situation of mutual abuse and even death threats is becoming more and more serious. What's more, Tupac claimed that B.I.G had an affair with his friend's wife at the end of 1994, which made B.I.G furious, and then another suspect of B.I.G. was Sugar Knight, the owner of Tupac Records. The first reason is that he is dissatisfied with Tupac being terminated at the hottest time. Then Tupac died in the back seat of Suji's private car, and the black youth who shot him died in a group fight in 1998. The people who killed him are closely related to Suji.

& gt& gt Cold rice, but not ice.

Tupac's death made him more famous. Some people even compare him with Elvis Presley. On the one hand, they think that their music and meaning will only be recognized and excavated after death. On the other hand, they categorically said that neither of them was dead-Elvis Presley was in Australia and Tupac was in Cuba. The proof that Tupac is still alive is that his new records were still published one by one after Tupac's death. He said, "Next year Tupac will come out of his hiding place to revive his prestige, and everyone is waiting." In fact, because rap music is easy to operate, a rapper can record an album in one night. The rumor that Tupac left more than 150 unpublished songs is more credible. Moreover, the arrangement of his new album "Until the End of Time" released last year is very outdated, and the recording is also a mess. If Tupac is really alive, how could he make a fool of himself with such a record? The truly innovative statement comes from the investigation conducted by Lipps. The respondents accused the police of failing to investigate for many years, implying that Tupac's death had something to do with the government. He said, "Who is the easiest to get away with it? Law enforcer. " The man took advantage of the ambiguous relationship between LAPD controlled by black people and Suji, suggesting that the police covered up the evidence that Suji murdered Tupac. Of course, this may also be a means for the media to stir up a sensation. No one wants this scene to be cold.

& gt& gt Human heart or human skin?

Why don't you want this scene to be quiet? Perhaps in the global rap craze, people instinctively hope to find some roots. After any music form is accepted by the market, it will reach its peak in cultural depth and communication scope immediately. As it is more and more smeared with the smell of commercial engine oil, its artistry will decrease day by day. When it becomes a pure entertainment, it will be like a candle that flashes suddenly when it is about to go out, but it will only shine. Tupac's popularity in the 1990s was the heyday of rap culture. He didn't erase the simplicity and intensity of this black music itself, but at the same time he grasped the pulse of the mainstream. Nowadays, rap music, which has completely become the fashion standard of teenagers, has completely lost its foundation. Now, the rap fire in Asia has been raging. Needless to say, Japanese shit gangs, Taiwan Province dog gangs or Hongkong L.M.F, our "father of rock and roll" Cui Jian also changed his singing to nagging, making his music full of hip-hop elements that are not in line with his age. On a global scale, the fusion of rap music with other music types is also very mature. Acid jazz is just Hip Hop+Jazz, and the "rap metal" that has passed the pop craze is the heavy metal music of rap and roar. The popularity of rap music depends on its "street" nature, or the extremely simplified operation mode-a drum set, a DJ and a rapper is enough-as a core rapper, as long as you find the beat, you can curse or laugh with slang, swearing and even your own words. In addition, rap culture has been multidimensional since its appearance. In addition to music, it also represents a "street" lifestyle, but gangs, violence and indulgence in Tupac era have now been replaced by skateboarding, graffiti and street dance. If Tupac is a blood-soaked cornerstone on the road of rap development, children who run from this cornerstone will never have time or even lose their sense of taste to taste its salty taste.

The last day of 2pac

1On September 7th, 996, Tupac planned to return to Los Angeles. He was determined not to go to Las Vegas, but in Atlanta, in order to solve some problems between relatives, Sugar asked him to change his plans. Tupac told Kidada in the morning that there would be a heavyweight boxing match at MGM Hotel in the evening, and he promised to watch the match with Sugar a week ago. He also said that he didn't want to go, but he promised Sugar. He told Kidada that he would definitely go and there would be no fighting. He didn't intend to let Kiddada go with him, but at the club party, Su Ge said that he controlled the whole city. If Kiddada was near Tupac, everything would be fine.

They returned to Tupac's home in Carabassas, and Kidada began to pack. When she was holding Tupac's bulletproof vest, Tupac said, "No, it's too hot to wear." She put it down. They stopped at the gas station. Tupac bought five magazines about guns, and he kept reading them until he arrived at Luxor Hotel. Tupac went to Sue's apartment in the southeast of the city. They stayed for a while. Tupac recorded a video and invited Keisha and other girls.

In the evening, Tupac came to MGM Hotel to watch the boxing match between mike tyson and bruce seldon. He was very angry because Sugar didn't show up until the last minute of the game. Tupac is sitting in section 2, row E, section 4. He said, "Did you see Tai Sen hit him? Tai Sen hit him! Did you see everything? We all like those things very much. We have walked out of prison, and now we must continue these things. " Tupac came backstage and hugged Tai Sen. At 8: 45pm, members of death row took a walk near the hotel garden. Travan Lane (tray) shows Tupac Orlando. Tupac runs across the corridor and says to Orlando, "Are you from the south?" I started hitting him before I finished. After a while, people on death row who were resting came to help Tupac. Orlando is just a bodyguard for the company. He knocked Tupac down twice. They knocked Orlando to the ground and started kicking and stepping on him. The fight was finally stopped by hotel security. Orlando was arrested and interrogated by the police and was not released until he agreed to drop the charges. Later, Tupac gave him a ticket stub marked $65,438+0,000 and said, "You go to the game, son, are you satisfied?"

Tupac left for the hotel at 8: 55. He sat in Hammer's car and told what had just happened. Hammer asked him some questions about it. Tupac said it was solved, so don't worry. Then he sat in the car and boasted about how Tai Sen punched him 50 times, while he only punched Tai Sen 3 times. Tupac's bodyguard had better wear a bulletproof vest when he is in trouble, but he often doesn't want to wear it. He never wears it at night. Now that I'm in Las Vegas, I can't legally carry guns, but I still keep them. But because he left the scene of the fight in a hurry just now, the bodyguard forgot to bring his gun.

Tupac told Kidada when he arrived at the hotel, "Some black brothers began to fight against me in vain. It's dangerous outside, so you'd better stay here. " He was very upset because he couldn't find a fugitive and wanted to fight. After changing clothes, Tupac comes to Sugar's apartment again. They made preparations for the party of the 662 club, where Tupac will perform. Tupac wanted to drive his Hummer, but Sugar said there were still some things to discuss, so he asked Tupac to ride with him. Two hours later, Sugar left the apartment in his black BMW750, with Tupac in the passenger seat, followed by 10. There is Tupac's Don Kilimanati: The 7-day Theory of BMW. At night 10: 55, Tupac rolled down the window, and the photographer took pictures of Tupac and Sugar in the car at a red light. 1 1 point, they stopped at Las Vegas Avenue. The patrolman stopped them because the stereo in the car was too loud and they were driving without a license. They explained that the license plate was put in the rented car and it was released soon.

At the red light on Flamingo Road near Koval Lane, two girls in front of Maxim Hotel were very excited because they saw Tupac and Sugar. They are in the driver's seat of the car. 1 1: 00 15, a brand-new four-door Cadillac, with one or two white doors open, stopped by their car. Tupac stood up through the roof window. At this time, two people got off Cadillac, holding Glock40 caliber pistols, and fired 13 shots at the passenger seat side of BMW750. Tupac tried to roll over and sit in the back seat, but Sugar pushed him down, and the bullet rebounded, hitting Tupac's right hip, lungs and right hand. Sugar was only slightly injured in the head.

Cadillac shot and quickly drove south along Koval Lane. Su Gediao turned around, drove into the alley on the left and accelerated to Las Vegas Street in the west. Sugar told Tupac to take him to the hospital. Tupac said, "Do I need to go to the hospital? Your head was wounded by a bullet. "

Patrol reported that they heard gunshots near Maxim Hotel and needed backup. Two other policemen followed BMW to Las Vegas Avenue. On Harmon Street, the patrol called an ambulance. BMW was dyed red with blood, surrounded by fragments of Tupac gold jewelry. Inside the car, two people were lying wearily. The medical staff carried Tupac out and laid him flat on the stretcher. Tupac kept saying, "I can't breathe, I can't breathe …" The ambulance took Tupac and Sugar to Nevada Central Medical College. Sergeant Kevin Manning was assigned to take charge of this matter, and Cathy Scott was assigned to receive journalists covering the shooting incident. The police asked the bodyguard if anyone fired back, and the bodyguard replied that Tupac and Sugar didn't order anyone to fire back. Another man told Compton police that at the 662 club, he heard a tray saying that the murderer was Orlando's uncle Dwain Davis.

Tupac lost 22 ounces of blood on the way to the hospital. When he was taken to the emergency room, he said, "I'm dying …" Tupac was confirmed not to be out of danger. His injuries include massive hemothorax caused by shooting, the bullet that hit his right thigh has entered his abdomen, and his right finger was shattered by the bullet. Gunshot wounds to the abdomen and chest were still bleeding after the operation. Before midnight, Tupac was transferred to UMC trauma center and sent to recovery room. At this time, his chest has lost 2 liters of blood.

At first, his pulse was weak, his blood pressure was low, and it dropped rapidly. He was immediately taken to the operating room for surgery. The doctor stopped the bleeding first, and then took out a bullet from the pelvis. The operation was performed at midnight and ended at 2: 35 am on the 8th. At 6: 25 pm, he had another operation, which lasted for an hour. This operation is very risky. After the operation, his punctured right lung stopped bleeding internally. Tupac was sent back to the ward at 7: 45 pm.

Tupac was in a coma after the operation. On one occasion, Kidada told him to move his feet if he could hear him. Tupac was moved, and Kidada said to him, "You know, I have always loved you deeply." Tupac nodded his head. And then I went into a coma.

In issue 10, BlackStreet's album Another Level was released, and one of them, No Diggity with Dre, was very similar to Tupac's Toss It Up. Tupac teamed up with Aaron Hall to throw it before Dre. Because of Dre's plagiarism, the original version of Toss It Up can only be changed into a mashup version. At three o'clock in the afternoon, in Compton, Orlando's cousin Jerry Downs and another man drove a white Cadillac to a garage.

13 On Friday, the doctor tried to wake Tupac many times, but it was useless. He stopped breathing forever at 4: 03 pm. His bodyguard came to Sue's room and told her about Tupac's death. Sugar was very excited about this and always blamed Tupac for not carrying a gun. After a while, Sugar told the bodyguard that it was nothing, and he was dead. Sugar's voice is hoarse, as if she were going to cry. At 5pm10pm, the mortuary staff transported Tupac's body to Clark County Coroner's Office. They dissected the body and made sure there were no drugs in it. The autopsy report is kept in the office, and the results of autopsy and ballistic analysis are not made public. There are also six photos of bodies in the report. Finally Tupac was cremated.

On 14, Afini scattered some of Tupac's ashes in the mountains of Los Angeles and the other in her garden. Tupac's relatives held a small funeral in Las Vegas. 15, a memorial service was held in the main Pentecostal church in Brooklyn. Since Tupac did not leave a will, Afini managed Tupac's estate according to the court decision.
