How Tupac Was Forged for Revolution

It’s been 30 years since Tupac’s death. He was more than a rapper, he was a revolutionary and a poet who helped many of us get through things we were going through. If you know you know. In honor of him, I dived into the history of him and why he we was the person that he was as well as what changed him. Full disclosure: I gathered a lot from Staci Robinson and Jesse McCarthy’s write up. The earlier years are pulled directly from them.
