(Rap Newswire) - ThugLifeArmy.com was blessed to be the only web site to
sit down with Afeni Shakur-Davis in this ‘web exclusive’ interview. The
best known ‘Momma’ among the hip hop culture, Afeni Shakur-Davis is much
more than the mother of late hip hop rap artist Tupac Shakur (2Pac).
Afeni opened up in this interview and spoke on many topics. Topics range
from her son Tupac and the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation and Tupac Amaru
Shakur Center for the Arts in Stone Mountain Georgia, to hip hop, to her
own legacy and everything in-between. This interview brings out a great
side of Afeni, one that is seldom seen. She laughs, she cries and the commitment
to her son Tupac is evident thru out the interview.
A very loving spirit pours thru her words as she answers the questions
put forth to her. She has an overwhelming love and commitment towards children
and the youth of the hip hop nation. She talks about the summer camps held
in Oakland and Atlanta this past summer.
She talks about the trip to South Africa and the work the TASF is doing
there. She is a very giving and caring person but also very humble and
this interview shines a light on her persona.
One thing that is dear to Afeni’s heart is the completion of the Tupac
Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts Visitor Center and Peace Garden in Stone
Mountain, Georgia. In this interview she explains her ‘commitment’ to Tupac,
and getting the Arts Center finished is one thing that she wants to see
finished. Hip hop and even the mainstream society should want to see the
Center finished for all the work they do and for preserving the legacy
of Tupac Amaru Shakur. Afeni Shakur-Davis has given so much and has asked
for nothing in return. It is time we all stand up and help her finish the
Tupac Amaru Shakur Center for the Arts. Not just for Afeni but for us as
the hip hop community and for our children and for their children.
