When we were originally introduced to his music in 1991, he immediately carved his own path within hip-hop culture. With his record “Brenda’s Got a Baby,” we heard a young man, barely out of adolescence, painting a vivid verbal canvas of urban blight, with a tenderness rarely offered in hip-hop. What set him apart was that merely a few tracks down the 2Pacalypse Now (1991) track list, Pac addresses other class warfare issues like police brutality with an unapologetic militancy that caught the attention of government officials, including then-Vice President Dan Quayle. Tupac Shakur was a man of many dimensions.
Happy 25th Anniversary to 2Pac’s fourth studio album All Eyez On Me, originally released February 13, 1996.
