On the other hand‚ MCing‚ which is basically rapping‚ is also formed of five different styles of rap. The unimaginable success

Tupac’s Analyzed Poem My poem is by Tupac Shakur. This poem is titled “And 2Morrow”. He was an activist of violence and gangs. So in this poem Tupac discusses the downs of gang-life.

The resurrection of an exalted ‘90s rap god will have to wait another day as Tupac Shakur’s tomb remains occupied with his body tossing and turning in response to the egregious results of the biopic‚ “All Eyes on Me.” Tupac’s talent transcended the music industry of the early ‘90s‚ yet‚ “All Eyes on Me” fails to give justice to a slain life that aimed to alter the world’s trajectory through his poetic armory of lyrics. This ill-conceived biopic is permeated by an addled narrative‚ lethargic pacing
