Tupac - Courageous or Confused
If Tupac was confused then so is society and the millions of fans who have exhaulted him. However it may not be a bad thing. I like the word confused for describing Tupac in the following sense: he was confused with the way his people and community were being treated. He was confused by the way in which they were treating eachother. He was confused about the conditions in which they were living. Tupac was confused as to why this was going on after hearing and learning in schools about the civil rights movements, and he was confused because he would hear all of this from white men and women. Which in trun made tupac confsed about why there werent men and women voicing themselves like so many in the past.So yes in a certain sense of the word Tupac was confused, but it was that confusion and his lack of acceptance of the confusion that led eventually to his corageousness. It was his drive to end this confusion within the lyrics and persona's that he created. He was an educated man who wasnt scared to stand up and become a voce for this all penetrating "Thug Life" of the time.
