Fight for the power

I have always been a huge 2pac fan. It's not cause i prefer old school hip hop.Its because 2pac was such a poetic lyricist who expresses so many topics and problems that exist. I love that 2pac tries to use his power for good. By that i mean there so many artists out there today who have a voice, but they don't use it for good. Imagine the amount of lives that could be turned around. Seriously it pisses me off that people like Lil Wayne and other YMCMB crap artists don't use their voices they have to do something good or bring out awareness about any issues. It seems like all they care about is a statue as in awards. At the end of the day its not about what you have but what you have done. 

This is why i respect 2pac so much after all he has done or at least used his power for good. You probally heard of the song by 2pac "Changes". That is one of my all time favourite songs. The song itself means so much that it always ceases to amaze me the more i listen to it the more i understand what 2pac was feeling. The song gives me chills.Especially when 2pac covers issues such as racism. In my opinion when it comes to racism espcially about what coulour we are ,Skin colour is purely pigmentation, white, black, brown, it doesnt matter. My skin colour changes from summer to winter just like every other human that inhabits this fucked up planet. None of us are purely black or white, we are all a bunch colour changing animals, just like the chameleon.Skin colour is purely pigmentation, white, black, brown, it doesnt matter.

 But going back to my point i think that artists today should open their eyes and start being in control of their actions, its seems like they are only their for the show and the money and the record company hires someone to write them trashy lyrics that will brainwash young adults ecpecially into negatiety and bad behaviours. The song "Changes" by 2pac just tells us  about the hardships of black people, especially police violence against them. He's saying that thing's will always stay the same until black people change it themselves, instead of waiting for other people to intervene. "It's time for us as a people to make a change. Let's change the way we eat, change the way we live, and change the way we treat each other." as I recall.

I love that 2pac was able to express him self in a way that brings out hard emotions and make you just think. I would appreciate modern hip hop if i could see that kind of style 2pac brought up. My point is 2pac was amazing and hopefully one day some one will fight for the power.
