#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.

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: ]
