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!
