l’exercice pratique, abordable et aisé.

Listen to Tupac talking about his mother and his definition of “Thug”. Then listen again

the box than you need. (starts @1.38 ends @ 2.24)




Dark

Mixture
 Street

Short
 Means

Family
 Militant
Well my mother was a woman. A
woman. A single mother. Raising two kids
on her own. So she was
skinned. Had
hair. Got no
from nobody except for a group called the Black Panthers. So that’s why she
was a Black Panther. Because I don’t consider myself to be straight, you know, militant. You
know what i’m saying? I’m a thug. I’m a thug. And my thug comes from… my definition of
thug comes from half of the
element. Straight street hustling. And half of the
Panthers element. Half of the independence movement. Saying we want self-determination.
We want to do it by self-defense and by any
necessary. That came from
my family and that’s what thug life is. It’s a mixture.
Study the documents below then match each still (picture from the film) with the correct
synopsis (here excerpts from some Tupac’s songs)
A. Double Wretchedness
I’m just another black man caught up in the mix, clown with the Underground. And you can
tell from my everyday fits that I ain’t rich. Trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents: break out
or be clown, baby doll are you down? I get around.
B. #Young, Convicted and Black#
I tell you it’s a cold world, stay in school, you tell me it’s a man’s world, play the rules. He
was a nice middle class Nigga, was only sixteen yet convicted as a felon with a bunch of old
Niggas: straight from the Hall to the Penn.
C. The Hell in a Pen
The penitentiary’s packed and it’s filled with Blacks. Is life worth living? Should I blast
myself? It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other. And as long as stay black, I gotta stay
strapped and I never get to lay back.
D. Corporate Plantations
Is there a heaven for a G? Remember me. So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many
tears. And though my soul was deleted, I couldn’t see it. But ain’t no future for me, I’m stuck
in the game. I’m trapped inside a maze.
E. To Zion
Follow me, eat my flesh, flesh and my flesh. I’m a ghost in these killing fields. Hail ‘til I
reach Hell, I ain’t scared. We’ve been traveling on this wayward road. Long time ‘til I been
take a ‘eavy load. We won’t worry everything will come real. We runnin from the
penitentiary, this is the time for we liberty: Hail Mary, Hail Mary.
