#HipHop #Rap by @spazio_nello NYin the 90's
NY raramente è stata l'epicentro di una scena musicale, può decretarne il successo, ma difficilmente un nuovo genere si afferma a NY, troppa critica, troppa competizione, niente unisce i newyorkesi come parlare male di altri newyorkesi. Image

1/ From October 1995 to September 1996, Tupac went on an unbelievable run of creativity including:

• 2 albums
• 3 feature films
• Songs for 6 posthumous LPs
• 12 music videos

The story of his work ethic during this period is awe-inspiring.

2/ The 11-month period of this creative explosion starts on the day Tupac is released from prison and ends on the day he dies.

The output is so prolific over this span that @SnoopDogg says Tupac "had to know" the end was coming. Image
3/ The story begins on October 12th, 1995.

After serving 9 months in prison, Tupac is bailed out by Death Row Record's Suge Knight for $1.4 million.

He immediately flies from NY to LA.

What does he do to celebrate his release? No clubs.

Just goes straight to the studio. Image

I want to take a moment to remind people,

the history of all these types of "movements",

back to the #FrenchRevolution & beyond,

Is one of controlled opposition--#SunTzu, #Machiavelli, #GameTheory--and beyond.

If you don't think they stage all this with outcomes in mind...
Please keep reading.

You'd be better served to look up #Cointelpro, especially in relation to past movements in the Black Community i.e. #MLK #MalcolmX and even #TupacShakur [LINK: ]
