What inspires me

My creative inspiration comes from many artists that shed a light on issues through their art. One quote from Tupac Shakur always stands out to me the most. He says “I’m not going to change the world, but I guarantee will spark the brain that will change the world that is our job.” To me, art is about shedding a spotlight on issues that we need to change. As controversial as Tupac’s music and life were or still are; every album had at least one song with hope. His way of shedding light on issues within the black community but really it can resonate with anyone in the lower social economic level. He encouraged people to change for the better like with his song “I ain’t mad at ya” He was encouraging people to better their situations and for people not to be mad at the people that left the “hood.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

psychologist Daniel J. Levitin shows that the music you listen to at the age of fourteen defines who you are. Needless to say, I listen to a lot of Tupac and rappers like him at that age. They rapped about the social issues that affected minorities or social-economically handicapped families. I have always yearned to make a change in the world. One of the reasons I enlisted, wanted to become a journalist and now create content. You know how sometimes you have thoughts rattling in your head that never quite go away and help you decide some of the life’s major choices. That what Tupac’s message is in my head it’s a persistent reminder that anyone can change the world, you just have to try. It has been a while since I listen to his music but when it comes on I still know all the lyrics.
