I have no idea what happened but I was just reviewing my posts for today and it didn't post what was to me the most important one of the day.  It also didn't save it (even in my drafts) so I thought I had this whole remote blogging thing down but I guess not, it worked with others but I guess I just didn't make sure that it was saved properly (obviously). 

Today (June 16) is what would have been Tupac Amaru Shakur's 37th birthday.  He died September 13, 1996 at 25 years old.  He was a brilliant artist who knew that he wouldn't be around long and he lived with an urgency in his life to get his music and story across.  He felt thats what drove him.  It was the ability for him to connect with others, which in turn lead him feel more connected to his mind, body and spirit.  He was not only a musical genius but he was a leader and touched people that we're exposed to things like he was and made them aware and made them connect with the struggles that he had to face.

Now that he is gone, fans of Tupac like me, are still thirsty for the inspiration and potential that Tupac brought to his music.  The conviction of his delivery is untouchable and will be hard to emulate.  While we have artists like Kanye, Nas, Luda, Jay, etc. they still don't bring that socially conscious touch or that effortless sexy swagger that he brought.  He was the John Lennon of our generation and managed to even reach me a catholic Latina girl from the suburbs within Florida.

I miss you Pac. 

Below are my top 3 Tupac videos:
"Temptations"-Yes, thats Jada, Will Smith's wife.  Her and Tupac were best friends.

"How Do You Want It"-This song still remains the top selling hip/hop-rap single of all time (go ahead and check, i'm still right)

"Holla If You Hear Me"-Has one of the best lines ever. "To the sell outs living it up one day or another you'll be givin it up"
