Guru Jay could have been President Jay because I studied politics in college. My university transcripts demonstrate I’ve aced graduate level political science classes. In fact, I earned my bachelor’s degree with top honors.
I could be like some other “celebrity” bloggers and tell you who to vote for but that’s not my motivation. All I am saying is that the issues matter. What is more, speak the truth, standup, and organize.
Tupac Shakur spoke the truth, stood up, and organized. His lyrics reflected on the constant problems everyday people deal with at stoplights, school, and work. Makeveli said “Instead of a war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.” Some people want to misinterpret Tupac’s message because they want to keep the status quo in check. That’s why people mistrust candidates running for office.
Moreover, why doesn’t the justice system give all people justice equally? They tried to tarnish Tupac Shakur’s image. The media routinely paints bad pictures of people speaking truth to power. They want to discredit powerful words, but the facts are the facts.
Enough is enough. Tupac constantly created music because he knew his words would get him into trouble. He also knew his words would get other people out of trouble.
I admire how the rapper backed up his words with action. Anybody can talk a good game, and bluff. It’s how you play the game that counts.
Tupac was a controversial figure. His death was tragic. There’s an art to being outspoken.
Like Vincent Van Gogh, Tupac didn’t have time to enjoy his success. However, he leaves behind a valuable legacy and priceless art. Listen to his music and connect.
I feel society should live by a moral code. Stop the killing. Start the healing.
Understand you are wrong sometimes. Think before you speak and don’t offend people unnecessarily. Remember it’s easier to make many enemies than to make a few friends.
Don’t forget I’m like Tupac “…because you ain’t never had a friend like me.”
I am Guru Jay launching into orbit in 5-4-3-2-1!
