Tupac Shakur

    Tupac Amaru Shakur was een Amerikaanse rapper die niet alleen bekend werd als artiest met miljoenen verkochte albums, maar ook als filmacteur en sociaal activist. Zijn werk duikt diep in thema's als opgroeien te midden van geweld en ontberingen, racisme en maatschappelijke problemen. Shakurs teksten pleitten voor politieke, economische, sociale en raciale gelijkheid, terwijl ze rauwe weergaven boden van geweld en conflicten. Zijn artistieke nalatenschap ligt in zijn eerlijke verkenning van de complexe maatschappelijke kwesties van zijn tijd.
