Tupac Shakur's Influence In Rap, Movies & Hip Hop Culture
Source: Bob Berg / Getty More than 25 years after his death, Tupac Shakur's fingerprints are still all over today's music. Artists like Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, and even Drake have openly cited Pac as a major influence, not just musically, but philosophically. Pac's raw, introspective storytelling set a standard for vulnerability, honesty, and social awareness in rap. Kendrick's To Pimp a Butterfly and DAMN. feel like spiritual successors to Pac's Me Against the World and All Eyez on Me , tackling racial injustice, inner conflict, and legacy. J. Cole's emotionally driven lyrics and conscious approach to fame echo Pac's vision of an artist as a voice for the voiceless. Even Drake's blend of emotional introspection and mainstream appeal reflects elements of Pac's multifaceted style. Tupac was one of the first rappers to fully break into Hollywood while maintaining street credibility. Pac's iconic roles in Juice , Poetic Justice , and Above the Rim showed his range as an actor and helped pave the way for artists like Ice Cube ( Friday ), 50 Cent ( Power ), and Donald Glover ( Atlanta ). Today, many rappers pursue acting as a natural extension of their brand, a lane Tupac helped clear. His belief in expressing truth through multiple mediums made him a cultural figure beyond just music—a blueprint for the modern multi-hyphenate entertainer. Source: Mychal Watts / Getty Tupac's impact reaches far beyond the studio and the screen. He became a symbol of resilience, complexity, and rebellion. His 'Thug Life' mantra wasn't about glorifying crime—it was about survival in a system rigged against the poor and oppressed. His fearless approach to speaking truth to power still inspires artists and fans alike. As noted in a New York Times retrospective, Tupac embodied the contradictions of the American dream—hope, anger, ambition, and tragedy. Even on Reddit, fans across generations passionately debate his legacy, proving how deeply he continues to resonate. Whether through lyrics, activism, fashion, or art, Tupac's influence on hip hop is permanent. He helped shape what it means to be an artist with something real to say. How much do you think hip hop would be different without Pac's influence? SEE ALSO Black America Web Featured Video CLOSE

What's New On Netflix In June 2025? 9 Best TV Shows And Films To Stream This Month
It's officially the first month of summer… meaning, naturally, it's time to hole up indoors to stream a host of new Netflix goodies. The weather might be warming up, but with the return of some TV mega-hits and a host of gripping new documentaries, it's safe to say we're still going to be racking up some hours on the streaming giant this month. From a brand new crime drama and timely documentaries to the return of some of our fave bingeable watches, there's something for everyone this month. Here are our seven top picks to stream this June… Tell me more: Compared to the likes of Squid Game (more on that in a sec) and Stranger Things, Ginny & Georgia is one of Netflix's more low-key hits – its second season is still among the most-watched originals in the platform's history. Centring around a tight-knit small family including the titular mum and her teenage daughter, the comedy-drama sees them planning to restart their lives in a new town following a death… and it quickly emerges that this is a family with secrets. Netflix says: 'It's always been Ginny and Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite like this. 'Now, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove – is the two of them against the world something Ginny really wants to sign up for?' Tell me more: Tyler Perry's loyalty to Netflix is showing no signs of wavering, having released new series She The People on the streamer only last month. He's linking up with the streamer yet again for a new thriller movie, starring Taraji P. Henson, who portrays a single mother struggling to care for her unwell daughter before she's pushed to the brink while trying to hold it all together. Netflix says: 'A single mother watches her desperate day spiral into chaos, becoming the prime suspect in a crime she never meant to commit – and suddenly, her survival depends on the one thing she's never been able to trust: the people around her.' Tell me more: In November 2021 10 people died and hundreds more were injured after a crowd crush at Travis Scott's Astroworld festival in Houston, Texas. After a slew of lawsuits followed, the impact of the tragedy is still being felt by many. The latest instalment in Netflix's Trainwreck anthology attempts to unpack what happened at the music event four years later. Netflix says: 'Featuring exclusive interviews with survivors, paramedics and festival staff, this documentary examines the 2021 Astroworld tragedy and its aftermath.' Tell me more: It was the story that gripped the world for four agonising days in June 2023 when a submersible went missing in the Atlantic on a dive to the Titanic wreckage. This new Netflix original documentary unpacks how the tragic mission ended in catastrophe and claimed five lives. Netflix says: 'OceanGate's Titan tourist submersible imploded in 2023 on a deep-sea dive to the Titanic. This documentary details how a bold vision ended in tragedy.' Tell me more: The first season of this Arnold Schwarzenegger action comedy, introduced us to Luke and Emma Brenner, a father-and-daughter duo who were each hiding from the other that they're actually CIA agents. After drawing in viewers first time around, the story continues in the new season, which has been extended even further. Netflix says: 'Luke Brunner is a veteran CIA operative who, up until recently, was on the verge of retirement. 'After his last mission in saving another operative - who just so happened to be his daughter - he's back and face to face with new villains. This one is an old flame from Luke's past who threatens to destroy the world… if she doesn't destroy his life first.' Tell me more: After waiting three whole years between seasons one and two, the third and final season of the K-drama phenomenon is already back, just six months after we devoured its action-packed return. We can expect to find out what happened after that nail-biting insurrection (and shocking sudden death) and find out if Gi-hun, once and for all, will have what it takes to bring down the Squid Game empire. Netflix says: 'A failed rebellion, the death of a friend, and a secret betrayal – Squid Game season three picks up in the aftermath of season two's bloody cliffhanger. Although Gi-hun is at his lowest point yet, the Squid Game stops for no one. 'So Gi-hun will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve. With each round, their choices lead to increasingly grave consequences.' Tell me more: After season one gripped us with its intimate and – at times – shocking look behind the scenes into the high pressure world of the famous American football cheer squad, season two is set to follow the 2024-2025 cohort chasing a coveted spot. Expect higher kicks, bigger splits and pom poms aplenty. Netflix says: 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season two will chronicle the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from nerve-wracking auditions and gruelling training camp all the way through the high-energy NFL 2024–25 season.' Tell me more: From Dawson's Creek, The Vampire Diaries and Scream creator Kevin Williamson, this brand new crime drama follows a prominent North Carolina family as their fishing empire is threatened. Supposedly inspired by true events, it's already been called an Ozark-meets-Bloodline, starring Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Melissa Benoist and Jake Weary. Netflix says: 'A prominent North Carolina fishing family wades into treacherous waters to keep their crumbling business empire afloat.' Tell me more: As families still seek justice for the devastating West London tower block fire that claimed the lives of 72 people, those at the heart of the tragedy examine what happened and the investigation that followed. Netflix says: 'Survivors, witnesses and experts tell the story of the tragic fire that engulfed a residential tower block in London — and the investigation that ensued.'
