I can’t believe they named a performing arts center after that clown, hahaha.
2Pac’s got some good stuff though. He was deep, I mean with his lyrics and the emotion he conveyed.
There is something in the water.
Founded by Tupac's mother, an out-there lefty, to be sure -- Tupac Amaru Shakur was named for the Marxist rebel group in Peru. You might remember them as the ones who seized the Japanese ambassador's residence in Lima several years ago, and were killed, to a man, in a command raid.
But that aside, the "arts center" is funded by a fundation founded by Tupac's mother. I've only driven by it, but it sounds like a pleasant place, and Tupac's name attracts kids who wouldn't be into the Ray Charles, let alone Ray Stevens, arts center. If it gives them something to do and keeps them off the streets, I've got no problem with it.
