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.

Answer:
"A Visit From St. Nicholas".
Explanation:
"The Night Before Christmas" was a poem anonymously published in 1823 and later claimed by Clement Clarke Moore in 1837.

The poem consisting of 56 lines in one long stanza has a rhyming scheme of a normal aabbccdd......... . The meter of the poem follows the anapestic tetrameter, where the lines consist of two unstressed followed by a stressed syllable.
The poem talks of a night before Christmas when a father of one family saw St. Nicholas descend through the chimney and fill the decorative stockings with gifts for the whole family. Wishing the family with <em>"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”</em>, he left the amused father. This began the concept of a Christmas Santa Claus visiting before the day of Christmas and giving gifts to the children.
