2PAC!
http://www.2paclegacy.com/
*1. Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), also known by his stage names 2Pac and Makaveli, was an American rap artist, poet and actor. He is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the best-selling rap/hip-hop artist ever!, having sold over 73 million albums worldwide, including over 44.5 million sales in the United States alone. He has been ranked by many fans, critics, and industry insiders as the ”GREATEST RAPPER EVER”! That is no lie!
He was Born in New York City, 2pac frequently found his family changing place of residence. In 1988, his family moved to California, where he would reside for the rest of his life. In 1990 he was hired as a backup dancer for the alternative rap group Digital Underground. 2pac’s debut album, 2Pacalypse Now, gained critical recognition and backlash for its controversial lyrics. 2pac became the target of many lawsuits and experienced legal problems—most notably, he was convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in 1993 although he vigorously denied the claims, AND TO ADD WAS NOT TRUE! The day before the guilty verdict was issued, 2pac was shot five times in a recording studio lobby in Manhattan. Following the incident, 2pac grew suspicious that other rappers were involved in his shooting; I think his suspictions were right on the money too! the controversy would help spark the later East Coast-West Coast feud. And man was that a big deal for many years. Some still to this day feud back & fouth! After serving eleven months of his sentence, 2pac was bailed from prison by Marion “Suge” Knight, the CEO of Death Row Records. In exchange, 2pac would release three records under the label, his fifth, double disc album All Eyez on Me counting as two. On September 7, 1996, 2pac was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. On September 13, 1996, six days after the shooting, 2pac died of respiratory failure and cardiac arrest in a Las Vegas local hospital.
2ac’s music addresses such topics as the hardships of growing up around violence in United States ghettos, poverty, racism, and his feuds with fellow rappers. He is known for the messages of political, economic, and racial equality that pervade his work as well as the “Thug Life” that he raps about living in. His music has attracted a large amount of controversy and was showcased in the media a number of times. He has gained a large amount of publicity for being one of the main figures in the East Coast vs. West Coast feud between his Death Row Records label and Bad Boy Records. During his lifetime, 2pac released five albums and played roles in several films. Many posthumous albums have been released under 2pac’s name.
PRESIDENT BUSH!
http://www.whitehouse.gov/
*2. The Truth About George has diligently documented the misdeeds of Bush and his cronies since 2002, revealing the cold hard facts about an administration bent on rewarding big corporations and the rich, turning back the clock on women’s rights and civil rights, and promoting a U.S. empire abroad. Bush’s second term promises to be even worse — with an escalation of attacks on reproductive rights, the Constitution, the courts, civil rights, the economy, social security and global relations. Heres some more reasons why i hate bush!
Bush and his oligarchic companions sabotaged American democracy so they could pillage taxpayer resources.
Bush and his cabal of henchmen lied to the American people about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, and they continue to obfuscate the truth while their companies cash in, Iraqis suffer and American soldiers die.
Bush is bad for business and the economy. He is only interested in enriching himself and his friends.
Bush is bad for the future. He is compromising the prosperity of tomorrow’s America by shortchanging today’s children.
Bush is bad for the environment.
The Bush Administration has manipulated the media to the point of undermining the Constitutional guarantees of a Free Press.
Bush has tried to undermine the United Nations, a democratic institution created in large measure by Presidents Eisenhower and Truman. Without even understanding what the UN does, Bush has called it “irrelevant” when it fails to fall in line with his dictates.
Bush is inarticulate and projects a stereotype abroad of Americans being ignorant and myopic.
Bush torpedoes global agreements on everything from racism and global warming to biological weapons and land mines, and then expects the world to line up behind him.
Bush took positive patriotism and global support in the wake of 9/11 and forced it behind his own narrow self-interest in Iraq. He hijacked 9/11 for his own benefit.
Bush stands against everything America stands for! NOT TO MENTION BUSH IS A BULLSHITTER!!!!!!!!!! SORRY MR. MINTON I HAD TO SAY IT! LOL!
*Why did you like the one that was your favorite? What can i say? I LOVE 2PAC!
*What did you find there? I basicly found by reading ”My life” all the same old stuff i already knew about 2pac!
*Why was it a better blog than the other one? Because 2pac is MY HERO & Bush is a BULLSHITTER!!!!!!!!!!!
