III Tupac's political actions and their impact
Rap = a political act by itself : that gender emerged in communities shaped by state violence, economic abandonment and organized resistance.

Impeialistic goverment & Police brutality
Feminist anthems
Black activism & anti-racism
« Keep your head up » « Brenda’s got a baby » ( while also being accused of sexual assault)
« White man's world» « Changes» « Panther power»
«Trapped » « Changes» « Panther power»
The poverty & social/polical neglect of ghettos
« Keep your head up » « Ghetto gospel » « Brenda’s got a baby »
Cultural moment : first rap celebrity court case.
