"The thriving demand for Tupac posters ten
years after his death is a testimony to the power
of his music and his image. In life, he lived out
the phrase "Only God can judge me," and,
now that he is gone, his pictures resonate like that
of a martyr. While his posters are stylized and commercialized,
the public demand for the pictures show that, in death,
he may have found the respect that he craved throughout
his life." |
