Mother of Tupac Shakur, Rest in Power
As the saying goes, "Never forget where you came from." Let's not forget where Tupac Shakur came from, her name is Afeni Shakur- Davis, born Alice Faye Williams on January 22, 1947; she died May 2, 2016.
Ms. Afeni Shakur was a businesswoman, philanthropist, former political activist, and former Black Panther. She was the mother of the late Tupac Shakur...
Tupac's music and philosophy are rooted in the Black Panther Party, Black Nationalism, and liberty. His album 2Pacalypse Now exposed his socially conscious side. On this album, Shakur exposed social injustice, poverty, and police brutality in the songs "Brenda's Got a Baby," "Trapped," and "Part Time Mutha." This album was highly influenced by the social consciousness hip-hop of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

In this short interview, Tupac is real, just real. And, my hope in posting this, and hope in that you will watch it, is that you can dig into your heart and realize the pain that lives in the poor black communities of the United States...perhaps, you will realize, why the US is imploding right now.
If you are interested in reading an amazing book of poetry, I highly recommend, Tupac Shaukur´s posthumous book, "The Rose That Grew From Concrete."
“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.”
