Hip hop is slowly dying and the rapper, Tupac Shakur’s influence on the urban music business will ultimately be the name of the disease that is killing it. This deviant power was first strengthened by the rising fame and glory that 2pac reached worldwide through his stories of life as a thug within his writings and originals. Added to the fact that this violent persona in his real life. This has encouraged real life thugs and gang members. They idolize these figures because they relate with the person and fellow thugs in the neighborhood. It would not be fair to put all the blame on Tupac alone. This problem has been brewing long before his rise to fame. As this started with N.W.A. with their their explicit tales of drug dealing,gangster wars and murder. This gave voice to the true gangsters everywhere. The group grew popular and gained fame and respect. The same respect thugs want to have in the neighborhood. If they cant get that respect, they often resort to violence.
