Richie had felt a mad, exhilarating kind of energy growing in the room. . . . He thought he recognized the feeling from his chil

dhood, when he felt it every day and had come to take it merely as a matter of course. He supposed that, if he had ever thought about that deep-running aquifer of energy as a kid (he could not recall that he ever had), he would have simply dismissed it as a fact of life, something that would always be there, like the color of his eyes . . . .
Well, that hadn't turned out to be true. The energy you drew on so extravagantly when you were a kid, the energy you thought would never exhaust itself—that slipped away somewhere between eighteen and twenty-four, to be replaced by something much duller . . . purpose, maybe, or goals . . . .

2pac had a 'net positive' influence
Leni [432]

Answer:

2. He’s the man who single-handedly transformed a common epithet for a criminal into a source of masculine strength.

After recording two albums – the muddled 2Pacalypse Now and the slightly improved Strictly 4 My . – Shakur unveiled his crew  L.I.F.E., an acronym for The Hate U Gave Little Infants Everybody. At the time, it seemed like an unnecessary variation on the “gangster” trope that dominated West Coast rap at the time. However, his reimagining of a word that the Oxford Dictionary defines as “a violent person, especially a criminal” into an positive attribute resonated. 2Pac’s vision redefined the word “thug” into a man who triumphs over systemic and societal obstacles. By the end of 1994, Cleveland quintet B.O.N.E. Enterprises had renamed themselves Bone Thugs-N-Harmony; the word has been since been adopted by Young , Slim and too many others to mention.
