Why 2Pac's Music Appeals To Me

2009-04-13T08:14:00.000-07:00

Our group is a fan of 2Pac's music. We like his songs because he talks about his life and what he went through growing up in poverty around violence and drugs. A lot of people who grew up in similar places can relate to what he is saying and almost everybody has gone through tough times in their lives and that is what his writing focuses on. Also, his voice was great so it went along with the good beats to his songs.
Even though he died at a young age, his music still was great and was and was appreciated throughout America.
