Remembering Tupac Shakur

No time for tears my Dukes. We are here to celebrate the memory of Hip Hop’s most influential person. Tupac left a legacy filled with greatness, drama, mystique and much more. I decided to leave you with this classic MTV Jams interview with Bill Bellamy. What’s crazy is he says on this interview that Faith is on the album but if you check the credits it has a different name. Suge doesn’t like to pay anyone…Part 2 after the jump.

Did You Know Who Yummy Was, Pac Did

Yummy

When I was young my mom made sure I wasn’t groomed by the television screen. She would take us to museums and make sure we read books over the summer. I remember the tons of national geographic and time magazines in my room. I recall an issue in the fall of ‘94 about a young boy from the streets of Chicago named yummy. The article read of a young child who was raised in a situation that was a catalyst for disaster. In the end his life turned out tragic and he took the life of another. The story touched Pac so much he dropped a shout to him on Makaveli’s 7th Day Theory Album track “White Manz World”.

The lines “Rest in peace to Latasha, Lil’ Yummy, and Kato / Too much for this cold world to take – ended up bein’ fatal” missed alot of people but caught a few. In this story you can see how poverty and violence go hand in hand in the cold streets of any ghetto USA. After listening to The Cool, and Adrenaline Rush so much I had to make this post. Props to my dude Reason and Uno McFly for the inspiration. Shouts to my dude Andrew over at FSD, I know you’re gonna dig this.

Addendum
Here’s another track Pac shouted Yummy out
on before the Makaveli 7th Day Theory Album.

“Young Niggaz” off that Me Against The World. Thanks QB!
