Rock and The King

"The rap artist, gang-banger, and poet known as Tupac Shakur celebrated thug life in his art, and now, in his death, each Tupac poster celebrates his thug life.

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."
