This weeks throwback song is "Keep Ya Head Up" by the legendary Tupac Shakur. Today he would have been 40 years old. However he lost his life 15 years due to a senseless act of violence. Yesterday the person responsible for the shooting that took place in Quad studios back in 1994 finally admitted to the shooting. Now all we need is for his murderer to come forth. Tupac was more than a rapper and a actor. He was a poet and I believe an activist. He spoke on the real day to day issues people faced, and made songs like "Keep Ya Head Up" to motivate people. He said things that people were afraid to say. Many people viewed him as a "thug" but to me he was a true artist.
Happy Birthday Tupac & continue to R.I.P
