Tupac Shakur was a rapper from the early 90's
who was known best for his songs like Dear Mama, I Get Around, Brenda's Got A Baby and the most notorious record, Hit Em Up. Tupac was a solider for the common black man. In his early career he was a man of justice for the people. He decided he was going to take all negative connotation of black people and turned them around. He was infamous for turning words into acronyms, one of which was THUG LIFE, meaning The Hate U Give, Little Infants Fuck Everybody. I believe this film has taken that quote and made it into its proper meaning. Tupac was killed in 1996 by a drive shooter with no arrest til today.
