THE RAPPER WHO ROCKS

THE RAPPER WHO ROCKS

Sometimes we think nothing good can come out of Dodge. Actually it was Bethlehem, and the “we” were the Jews of that time – and probably a great deal of those who live today. I can appreciate someone who thinks. Who stands for something right. I found these quotes that I want you to listen (go to the end of the text and click the player) on a forum where the users were encouraged to share favorite literary fragments. This is how I got these from Tupac Shakur. I had to change my voice a little. And I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I have. Here we go:

“It always happens, all the niggaz that change the world die, they don’t get to die like regular people, they die violently.”

“Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. I’m not the thief who grabs your purse. I’m not the guy who jacks your car. Im not down with the people who steal and hurt others. I’m just a brother who fights back.”

“I never thought I was the best rapper the best nothing'. I think I'm the realist nigga out there.”

“If you know in this hotel room they have food every day and I knock on the door. Every day they open tha door to let me see tha party, let me see that they throwin' salami, throwin' food around telling me there's no food. Every day. I'm standing outside tryin’ to sing my way in- "We are weak, please let us in. We're week, please let us in." After about a week tha song is gonna change to, "We're hungry, we need some food." After two, three weeks it's like "Give me some of tha food! I'm breakin’ down tha door." After a year it's like, "I'm pickin' the lock, comin' through the door blastin’." It's like, "I'm hungry." You reached your level, you don't want any more. We asked ten years ago, we were askin' with the Panthers, we were askin' in the Civil Rights Movement. Now those who were askin' are all dead or in jail, wo what are we gonna do? And we shouldn't be angry!?”

“Since we all came from a woman, got our name from a woman, and our game from a woman. I wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we don’t we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies who make the babies. And since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one.”

“I'd rather die like a man, than live like a coward.”

“I feel close to Marvin Gaye, Vincent van Gogh, because nobody appreciated his work until he was dead. Now it's worth millions.”

"Before I write I let my mind go blind and let the Lord do His thing."
