Voštani Tupac u Madame Tussaud's muzeju

Tupac Amaru Shakur, jedna od najslavnijih osoba u svijetu rapa, je ovjekovječen voštanom figurom u svjetski poznatom muzeju Madame Tussaud's u Las Vegasu, gdje je bio i ubijen. Skulpura je razotkrivena 5. dana ovog mjeseca u svečanosti koja je počela u 11:00 sati.

Voštani portret Tupaca je radila Jeni Fairey, koja je prethodno za muzej napravila i portret Beyoncé. Skulptura se temelji na vrlo popularnom liku Tupaca bez majice sa maramom oko glave koji ponosno pokazuje svoje tetovaže. Osim Beyoncé, i Tupacova voštana skulptura će se pridružiti voštanim figurama drugih zvijezda koje su ostavile vječni trag na ovom svijetu, uključujući Princa, Jennifer Lopez, George Clooneyja, Elton Johna, Will Smitha, Lennyja Kravitza, James Browna, Elvis Presleyja i Shaquille O'Neala.

Voštana skulptura Tupaca je napravljena pomoću stotinjak fotografija i mjera koje je muzeju omogućila Afeni Shakur. Svaka od Tupacovih tetovaža je prvo bila ponovno nacrtana te pojedinačno ručno nacrtana na skulpturu. Bili su potrebni mjeseci da se skulptura dovrši, uključujući više od 700 sati rada i preko 330 funti (0,45 kg) gline. Cijela skulptura teži oko 55 funti.

U svrhu komemoracije 10. obljetnice Tupacove smrti, Madame Tussaud's razmišlja o slanju nove voštane skulpture na turneju malo kasnije ove godine. Kada se razgleda u muzeju u Las Vegasu, skulptura bi trebala obići galerije u New Yorku, Hong Kongu, Shanghaiu i Londonu prije no što se izloži u Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts (TASCA) u Atlanti na jedan mjesec, gdje bi trebala stići krajem ove počasne godine.

Skulptura je predstavljena skoro 10 godina poslije Tupacove smrti u Las Vegasu i biti će izložena sljedećih 300 godina.

A new wave of depression

Nearly unnoticed
She is lonely
Even though you can't tell
She is reaching out
For what, she doesn't know
She will continue to sit in silence
And hope that someone may stumble across
Her and all of her emptiness
But they only hope that they do it in time
Otherwise she will have drifted too far
And she may let go
Of whatever grasp of the world she has
As she slowly fades out of the lives of everyone
Nearly unnoticed.


Through my eyes
Like tyrants assembled with tears
Trembling like a tomb
And singing like a statue
I am as empty as the ocean.
My blind eyes scream in silence
So this eternal echo will be known.
Given to the foils of time,
And shattered like plate glass-
You freeze within the fire.
Darkness now lives at daylight,
And shadows turn to the ghosts.
With all that shined is hollow
You imagine unconsciously.
And pretending to sleep you realize,
Nothing is what it seems.


Seek not my heart
Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a'skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.

It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.

It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.

No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart.

Down again


I've been pushed down so many times
I feel this time will be the last
as I lay here fading
my thoughts are invaded by memories of my past
I feel the pressures of shame and rejection building
as I lay here on the floor
I have no strength to get up
I'm not worth it any more

Girl Poem


A poem for us....

I shave my legs,
I sit down to pee.
And I can justify
any shopping spree.
Don't go to a barber,
but a beauty salon.
I can get a massage
without a hard-on.
I can balance the checkbook,
I can pump my own gas.
Can talk to my friends,
about the size of my ass.
My beauty's a masterpiece,
and yes, it takes long.
At least I can admit,
to others when I'm wrong.
I don't drive in circles,
at any cost.
And I don't have a problem,
admitting I'm lost.
I never forget,
an important date.
You just got to deal with it,
I'm usually late.
I don't watch movies,
with lots of gore.
Don't need instant replay,
to remember the score.
I won't lose my hair,
I don't get jock itch.
And just cause I'm assertive,
Don't call me a bitch.
Don't say to your friends,
Oh yeah, I can get her.
In your dreams, my dear,
I can do better!
Flowers are okay,
But jewelry's best.
Look at me you idiot...
Not at my chest????
I don't have a problem,
With Expressing my feelings.
I know when you're lying,
You look at the ceiling.
DON'T call me a GIRL ,
a BABE or a CHICK .
I am a WOMAN.
Get it?, you DICK!?!

Fallen star


They could never understand
what u set out 2 do
instead they chose 2
ridicule u

when u got weak
they loved the sight
of your dimming
and flickering starlight

How could they understand what was so intricate
2 be loved by so many, so intimate
they wanted 2 c your lifeless corpse
this way u could not alter the course
of ignorance that they have set
2 make my people forget

what they have done for much 2 long
2 just forget and carry on
I had loved u forever because of who u r
and now I mourn our fallen star


Written by Tupac Shakur (1971-1996)
