Why is 2pac’s poetry being teached at university?
2Pac is surely the greatest and most known icon of hip hop culture, period. Whoever chose to teach his poetry in universities today realized that hip hop is an urban form of art. If only you can listen every song and understand it’s message. I’d like to quote one line that I only now i realized it’s real meaning, and I can say that is a good philosophy, life strategy.
When I say I’m living large
All you see it’s the struggle
When I say I’m still thuggin
All you see it’s the trouble”
If any of you are familiar with the life strategies presented in the doc “The Secret of Law Attraction” you’d realize from the verse that is an optimistic way of imagining and living your life, where living large meaning dreaming about the things you’ll achieve, your plans and the rhyme of it, “keepin’ it thuggin’” meaning really having fun with your life as in the peaceful way, thuggin becoming then an urban metaphor for “optimistic minded about what you’re doing, living the life as you like”
