Today in 1993, 2Pac (Tupac Shakur) released his
second album “Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z” which saw him elaborate more on his
political views and his rightfully placed mistrust in the justice, legal and
law enforcement systems that are in place here in the United States.
Prior to
the entire coastal beef situation that the media did nothing to help, 2Pac was
releasing a steady stream of socially conscious music that made many a listener
take notice as to what was really happening in the streets. Unfortunately he
was gunned down a few years later before he could get back to making albums of
this nature.
Don’t let the title fool you, this album paid homage to old school
rappers from both coasts as well as had anthems such as “Keep Ya Head Up” the
ultimate ode to single mothers as well as “I Get Around” which needs no further
explaining. RIP
