Other noteworthy albums are Still I Rise, Ride Wit Us or Collide Wit Us, and Novakane with his rap group The Outlawz as well as The Rose That Grew From Concrete that features his poetry and spoken word. This is my favorite quote from the poem of his by the same name.
The Rose That Grew From Concrete (Original Poem by Tupac Shakur)
”Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.”
