2pac
Tupac Amaru Shakur, arguably the most talented man of the 1990's, was born on June 16, 1971 in New York. Shakur compiled an extraordinary resume consisting of various forms of entertainment before passing away at the age of 25. Tupac Shakur accomplished more in his short lifetime than most people could in ten. In fact, 2pac's life is so remarkable that one must raise the red flag and question just how one man could do what he did. Many theories or arguments can be made, but the simplest is most likely the answer: Tupac Shakur was a god, a messenger of God, or was at least closer to holiness than any other human being. One reason that one would turn to religious answers for his work is that makes many prophecies in several songs that seem to happen almost exactly as 2pac stated. No artist in any genre has ever came close to predicting the things that 2pac did. In "I Get Around,"(2pac) Tupac says, "There's a lot of real G's doing time/Because a groupie bit the truth and told a lie." Less than 2 years later, a woman that 2pac had been intimate with accused him of sodomy and other sexual assaults. After being conspired against by several members of his record label and the government, Tupac was found guilty and sentenced t
In the Bible, many different numbers symbolize many things. The number seven in the New Testament symbolizes absolute perfection or godliness.(Cox) The seven stars in The Son's hand are all the instances of seven in 2pac's life. The number seven seems to be everywhere in 2pac's life. In the song "Hail Mary,"(Makaveli) a church bell tolls at seven-second intervals. Tupac's first album after his death was called The 7 Day Theory, possibly referring to biblical beliefs (The earth being created in 7 days), His death (2pac was shot on September 6, lived the, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and dying on the 13th-7 days from beginning to end). Tupac's most famous and arguably best album All Eyez on Me was released on February 13, 1996.(Hitemup.com) He died on September 13, 1996. Those two dates are exactly seven months apart. Tupac officially died at 4:03 PM. 4+3 = 7. Also he died at an age of 25 years. 2+5 = 7.(Hitemup.com) In Tupac's song "No More Pain" on the album All Eyes On Me, he describes himself as having, "A heart of a soldier with the brains to teach a whole nation."(2pac) This could be a Jesus-like description; descriptions of Jesus are very similar to 2pac's lyrics on this song. Like Jesus, Shakur had no children, and no father. The author of the Bible passage, who calls himself John, was exiled from his kingdom of Rome to a secluded mountainside and was visited by God while he was ashamed of himself and stripped of dignity.(New American 386) 2pac appeared to many people who weren't accepted by mainstream America, just as the godly figure appeared to John. Therefore, it is not too far-fetched for a God to appear to the unaccepted, misunderstood youth of the late 20th century.
