Problem
I. In several sentences - although later associated with Death Row, Tupac's early music was quite different in style and substance from the music of his contemporaries (like Dre and Snoop). How do these songs differ from the G-Funk songs we heard before?
II. In a short paragraph, tell me your thoughts on the rhyme scheme analysis provided. What did you notice about Tupac's lyricism? Did you notice any instances in which his use of rhythm and accents highlighted meaning? How does Tupac as a lyricist stand out from his contemporaries?
III. In several sentences, describe how Tupac was different from his contemporaries on the topic of women.
IV. In several sentences, describe how Tupac's works with Death Row differ from his previous work, especially in the videos that were produced. What, do you think, created this different direction, and what does it signify?
