"I'm not sayin I will change the world, but my music will spark the mind that Will change the world"

Tupac Shakur is the perfect example of a genius. This man was a rap superstar but a very compassionate poet, actor and writer. It is gossiped that Tupac has enough music material to put out an album once a year for five years…after his death and that he as done. Much debate as surrounded Tupac when the conversation of the greatest rapper to ever live arises. The choices are he, The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Z. His high controversial career was violently ended in 1997 when he was gun down in the passenger side car after attending a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas NV.

Among all the material and chart topping songs released by Tupac, only ten can make my list. Known for his deliberate disrespect for the government, police and media Tupac's songs are filled with a message good or bad and are directed at everyone regardless of race. In many of his songs he boasted about being ready to die and leaving this earth to go to a better place and he got his wish but not before leaving us with a catalog of music to enjoy.

1.Keep Your Head Up. This is an anthem aimed at single African American in the ghettos of America. The message is to keep your head up in turbulent times and struggles.

2.Rather be ya N-I-G-G-A from the Me Against the World album. I like this song because it's an honest approach from a man to a woman. No games and no bullshit lines just being honest. In this song Tupac's says' I ain't beggin' just tryin' to relocated between ya legs, drippin' wet as we experience sweaty sex/when you met me you wouldn't let me/but now you straight beggin' to sex me got'chu undressin' to sex me".

3.Brenda's Got A Baby from the 2pacalypse Now album. Like Ke

What made him so good is that he actually talked about things that still happen today like the song "changes". Listen to that song and see if it don't change the way you think about like. He had the best songs you couldn'tm dance to also. All rappers today try to beat in the music but it's kind of hard to dance to the song " Life goes on".
