Tupac Shakur’s song “Keep ya head up” from the album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. came out in 1993, before I was even born.

But, my parents were in their 20’s when this came out and still think today it is targeted to younger generations and the people who are now in there 40’s but listened to Tupac back when they were younger. Although, Tupac is deceased his music still carries on today. For the main reason that younger generations grew up to their parents listening to it and this cycle of his music stood against time.Majority of Tupac’s songs and specifically “Keep ya head up” is inspirational. Tupac was wise amongst his years and talked about problems going on in the world and peoples everyday struggles. He is a hip hop artist that moves people, his music is honest and influential. His music is more so targeted towards the black community.
