Tupac Amaru Shakur, the tattooed poet

(Note: My recently growing interest in the life of Michael Jackson has led me to discover other personalities who, just like him, also voiced concerns on racism, discrimination, and police brutality among others. I never knew Tupac until now. He is one fascinating find.)

TUPAC IN JAIL 1995 posted by mateuszao: Investigation on allegations Tupac's music incited police shootings.

"...I really don't like police," says Tupac's song, according to a report brought up during the investigation.

Tupac denied having said such and clarified what he actually said was: "I'm a victim for real, everything I talk is for real, I really got my ass beat, I really don't like them."

"Did you mean police?" the investigator inquired.

He said, "No."

"What did you mean?" the investigator inquired further.

Tupac replied, "I really don't like crooked police."

Brutally shot and eventually died at the age of 25, Tupac's death remains a mystery up to this day.

He always presented thought-provoking issues: jail is big business, generating income from telephone call charges, etc.; gangs can be positive, they just have to be organized; America sends millions of dollars worth of relief to calamity-stricken countries like Somalia,... but hardly addresses problems of the underprivileged in America itself; "prison kills your spirit"; his music is "rap music," is spiritual, and is not gangster rap; the system's prevailing injustice - racial discrimination, police brutality, false charges, unfair trials...

Tupac starred in a number of films, one of which was a drama/romance story "Poetic Justice" opposite Janet Jackson. During filming, some controversy sparked regarding Janet Jackson requiring Tupac to undergo AIDS test, which he refused.

He used to be very good friends with Biggie, another famous rapper, but they later had a much publicized falling out.

After his death, "Tupac: Resurrection," a film on his life and death, in which he, himself, narrated, was released.

In a documentary, someone spoke of him as having fire in his eyes. Even the videos do not betray that. His eyes had spark.

Could that be why during the hearing on his "sexual abuse or rape" charges, or his "entire court case" for that matter, the judge had not looked him in the eye once?

Some documentaries suggest he had connections with the "Illuminati," but later left and started exposing it, risking his life in the process.

Looking into Tupac's songs which were yet unreleased after he died, many believed his music was about to change and explore a different path... but his life was cut short.

"I'm not saying I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world." - Tupac Amaru Shakur (June 16, 1971 - September 13, 1996)

KILLUMINATI, TUPAC EXPOSING THE ILLUMINATI part 3 posted by icemilf: Opens with a moving account of Tupac saying to the judge "...throughout this entire court case, you haven't looked me or my attorney in the eye..."

TUPAC SHAKUR, THE TRUTH INTERVIEW part 1 posted by longsight0000: Tupac's interview while in jail sharing interesting insights: jail is big business, America gives relief to calamity-stricken countries like Somalia but fails to address problems of the underprivileged in America itself, etc.

2PAC - TUPAC RESURRECTION THEATRICAL TRAILER

Michael Jackson's skill, from God or evil? A reaction on Michael Jackson Illuminati Scene 1 video

MICHAEL JACKSON ILLUMINATI SCENE 1 posted by titolove21

"His skills come from evil," claims the video "Michael Jackson Illuminati Scene 1".

The material clearly presents interesting points and facts I do not intend to dispute.

I did not stop there, however, I looked beyond.

Michael Jackson's enormous talent could only come from God. No such magnificent and glorious thing can ever be rightfully creditted to anyone else.

The enemy, the devil, may try to manipulate, destroy, and steal what God has given us, and for a time, may succeed; but ultimately, truth and justice prevail, and the enemy has to return what he has stolen.

Michael Jackson once said about his music, "Every song is different. Sometimes it happens quickly, sometimes it happens slowly. No one can quite say what the creative process is, because I have nothing to do with it almost, 'cause it's created in space. It's God's work, not mine" (please see attached video: MICHAEL JACKSON - OUR ICON - BET DAY CELEBRATION WKND PART 2).

His songs, "We've Had Enough" and "They Don't Really Care About Us" (please see attached videos), among many others, which he wrote himself, contain a profound and even spiritual message. Apart from social issues, they speak of his belief in God.

As one of God's finest creations, the enemy always dealt heavy blows on him; and many times he got wounded. Severely.

After looking into countless documentaries on his life and times, and the many surprising truths that have surfaced... just now, I am led to believe that, in the end, he put his life on the line to be restored to God.

(What profits a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his own soul? - Matthew 16:26)

MICHAEL JACKSON CLIPS - CRYPTIC HINTS AND ATTACKS posted by manpildo: Hidden messages of Michael Jackson's songs and videos on his breaking free from Illuminati and denouncing it

WE'VE HAD ENOUGH (with lyrics on screen) by Michael Jackson

THEY DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT US (with lyrics on screen) by Michael Jackson: Shot in a slum area in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the video sends a strong message about racism, police brutality, and other human rights and social issues; also features Olodum, an internationally acclaimed Afro-Brazilian Cultural group from Bahia, Brazil founded in 1979 as "Afro Bloc" (African Bloc), a Bahian Carnival Association highlighting African heritage and black pride through music, dance, theater, and art. From their home city at Salvador de Bahia in Northeast Brazil (oftentimes described as the most African city in the Americas), Olodum has dedicated itself to cultural activism in the struggle against racial discrimination and socio-economic inequality; video was actually banned

MICHAEL JACKSON AGAINST RACISM - A CHANGE IS GONNA COME / MICHAEL'S SPEECH "I'M BLACK" posted by 19700623kaka
Snippets (Highlights):historical 1963 March in Washington as a protest against racism, shows Martin Luther King and other freedom fighters; 12-year old Michael Jackson, together with the Jacksons, singing Star Spangled Banner during the opening of the 1971 World Series of Baseball at the Riverfront Stadium, Cincinnati, Ohio; part of Michael Jackson's anti-racism speech at Harlem; ends with part of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech

(note: I would like to thank dvdjarrett for being so kind to provide me the details about the occassion when the Jackson 5 sang Star Spangled Banner.)

Although I always liked Michael Jackson's music, it was not until his death that I started having a growing fascination for the man, not just his music or dance, but everything about his incredible legacy.

This prompted me to probe deeper into his life and works, people, and subjects which were among his interests or had strong connections with him.

I came across documentaries on the lives of fascinating black people such as Jimi Hendrix, Malcolm X, Tupac Shakur, Martin Luther King Jr., and Louis Farrakhan, among others. Whether or not I totally agree with all of them, or all of their principles, is not something I wish to discuss here; but whatever my answer to that may be, one thing is certain, I find these men in many ways highly admirable.

My discoveries made me realize that, by being themselves, the black people had been contributing greatly to humanity and the enormous injustice done to them made it a painfully thankless job.

In my own way I was part of that injustice. All my life I had been basking in the beauty and excitement of their music, singing and dancing to their rhythm, being enriched by their culture, but by believing they were made of lesser stuff, in spite of all that (how blind can one be!), definitely, I did not give them due credit. My deepest apologies and regrets!

I wish to be absolved and continue to experience the treasures they offer without hearing a disturbing "What right have you to partake of our feast?" creeping inside my head.

One of my most gifted friends, a world class musician, went to a prestigious music school in the US for his master's degree. According to him, he became the fine musician he had become because he did not confine himself within the four walls of his formal education. While in the US, he made friends with some blacks in the ghettos, observed them closely, and played music with them as often as he could in his desire to make as much of their musical genius as possible rub off on him.

He acknowleged that, as a musician, he learned many valuable and amazing things from the blacks, even those in the ghettos, in fact, especially them, he would never ever learn from anybody or anywhere else. He said there is something very profound one will experience only in their music and culture.

Some of my readings recently, "Paradise" by Toni Morrison and "New Moon Rising" by Eugenia Price, provided me a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the beautiful black race.

Definitely, the blacks do not belong to an inferior race. On the contrary, they are even superior in many ways. I was gravely wrong for believing they were less than that.

By writing this, I hope that, in my own small way, I will be able to express my long overdue gratitude and appreciation to my dear black brothers and sisters out there whose amazing God-given gifts I have always been benefiting from.

With an awakened sense of pride and joy in them, I wish to join in the celebration of their beauty, uniqueness, and the many treasures God lavished on them; I wish to be welcome to "partake of the feast."

To Michael Jackson, who, in a very unique and profound way, has led me to these fresh learnings and awakenings; to you, who, in my heart, has become my dear friend; I would like to say it is quite sad that you had to cross over first before I would begin to experience this exciting journey with you; but it sure had been worth it and it gets better still. Finding you as the most fascinating human being who ever lived has led me to other fascinating finds. I cannot wait to see what remains to be discovered. From the depths of my heart, I offer to you now, my long overdue admiration and respect for your great and immortal legacy. I salute you, Sir!
