The Art of Storytelling: Brenda’s Got a Baby
In 1991 a young aspiring rapper named Tupac Amaru Shakur was crafting his debut album as a Hip Hop artist. With his background of coming from a family of Black revolutionaries and his love of conscious music, especially that of Hip Hop, he wanted to tell stories that focused on the struggles of the Black community. The first glimpse of insight he gave us into the plight of Black America came in the form of his debut single “Brenda’s Got a Baby” off his debut album 2Pacalypse Now.

🎶BAD BOYS BAD BOYS!!! WHATCHA GONNA DO? WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU🎶 Yeah I know I don’t sing it as good as the original product, but you get my point. Ever since 1995 the Bad Boys film series starring Martin Lawrence and Will Smith has become one of the greatest buddy cop comedy ensembles in the history of cinema. This past weekend just saw the release of the fourth film in the series Bad Boys: Ride or Die and with it's already massive reception, let’s take a look back at the iconic road that led us to where we are today with the Bad Boys franchise.
