It was Dear Mama, Keep Ya Head Up, All Eyez on Me, Brenda's Got A Baby and the ever-iconic Changes. It was the poetic lyrics that pointedly made us think about racial injustice, poverty, the war on drugs, among many others. He was the influence to us all, the one who held the whole world in those eyes. It was what so many rappers of the modern-day owe him, a sound like no other. The bandana, the chains, the oversized button-downs, always. A tribute to him on what would have been his 50th birthday. Tupac Shakur's best 90s style.
