The legendary, Tupac Amaru Shakur, born Lesane Parish Crooks in Brooklyn, NY in 1971, is one of the famous American rappers, who’s usually associated with awful impressions.

However, in his lifetime he was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the highest-selling rap artist. His albums sold over 76,000,000 copies worldwide. His rap songs are about growing up amid violence and hardship in ghettos, racism, and problems in society.

Although he died too young (1971-1996), however, his career was full of successes to make him a legend.

Presented here are some very inspiring quotes by him I have collected that will inspire you in immeasurable ways and a comment from me on the sense each makes to me.

Enjoy it!

1. There’s gonna be some stuff you gonna see that’s gonna make it hard to smile in the future, but through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain you gotta keep your sense of humor. You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit…remember that.

10. “…long live the Rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.

Comment: When it seems like nobody cares for or about you that is when you should care more about yourself. And in the final analysis, you play the major role in what your life turns out.

11. You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened…or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the Bleep on.

14. Never surrender, it’s all about the faith you got; don’t ever stop, just push it ‘till you hit the top and if you drop, at least you know you gave your all to be true to you, that way you can never fail.

Comment: You swim or sink; grow or die. That’s a natural law.

17. I’m not saying I’m gonna change the world, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the world.

Comment: Just a little positive contribution from you is what is required. If every Nigerian gives their quota in building the nation, Nigeria will be a better place for all.

To your success,
