Over the next five years, Tupac enjoyed a lot of success in both the rap industry and as an actor. He released four more albums including raps first ever double CD, all going multiple platinum. He also acted in three movies earning high remarks from directors and actors. However, for the first half of this successful solo career, Tupac continued to go further off track. He was arrested several times over the next three years, but was acquitted of every crime. In 1993, he was arrested for the last time, but while on trial, he was shot five times during an alleged robbery. Tupac underwent surgery and checked himself out of the hospital two hours after that. Tupac was still on trial however, and this time earned a four and a half year sentence on February 14, 1995.

Tupac also began to live up to his promise that he made in prison, performing many charitable acts and staying away from the things that had previously gotten him into trouble. His rap music also began to carry a message of hope for those who grew up on the streets.
I enjoyed Rebecca Walker’s descriptions of the hip hop culture when she was younger. I did enjoy the author’s style, she explains how she discovered what hip-hop “was”, and how it didn’t only change her but, and how it has changed the way people think about hip-hop too.

If you asked someone today what they think hip-hop is, they wouldn’t actually know. "
