a good beat

i do not know much about Tupac Shakur (i believe that's his full name); however, i do enjoy this song very much (see you tube clips in margin). i was actually introduced to the original song by Bruce Hornsby when i was an undergrad. some of the lyrics are extremely powerful and challenging, such as "that's just the way it is." i think Hornsby & Tupac speak to an audience that is desperate for the truth.
