Tupac is widely regarded as the most influential rapper ever—“I put Tupac beyond Shakespeare” says legendary rapper Nas—and one of the most important figures in music history.
Paraphrase:
Many consider Tupac to be the most significant rapper in the history of music; illustrious rapper Nas calls Tupac more important than Shakespeare.
Original:
Tupac’s words would prove more prophetic than anyone could have guessed; starting with a class at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1998, a slew of college courses dedicated to studying Tupac’s body of work cropped up after his death.
Paraphrase:
Beginning with a course at UC Berkeley in 1998 and many colleges devoted parts of their curriculum to analyzing Tupac’s work following his demise, attesting to the foresight of his words.
Original:
When it came to the themes of his music, Tupac thought big, and often in stark binaries: life and death (“Life Goes On”); love and hate (“Hail Mary”); judgment and forgiveness (“I Ain’t Mad at Cha”); joy and pain (“To Live and Die in L.A.”); and heaven and hell (“I Wonder if Heaven’s Got a Ghetto”).
Paraphrase:
Tupac’s music reflects his fascination to harsh contrasts, such as love and hate (“Hail Mary”) and heaven and hell (“I Wonder if Heaven’s Got a Ghetto”).
Original
He fearlessly, and poetically, explored dimensions of the male psyche neglected by his rap peers.
Paraphrase:
With bravery and grace, Tupac delved deeply into aspects of male consciousness that his musical contemporaries often ignored
Original
His language was enflamed with love for the desperately poor; Tupac was a ghetto Dickens who explained the plight of the downtrodden in rebellious rhyme.
Paraphrase:
A poor man’s Dickens, Tupac elucidated the struggles of the oppressed in defiant verse, his words kindling with devotion to hopelessly destitute.
