Tupac Shakur's teachings included in college course

Tupac Shakur is still kicking knowledge -- from beyond the grave! The exalted one's glorious teachings have formed part of the curriculum for a University of Oslo course in Norway. No, it's not a postgraduate diploma in droppin' science with electives in cussin', slappin' hos and holding automatic pistols in a menacing sideward manner. Professor Knut Hermundstad Aukrust will be offering "Tupac, hip-hop, and cultural understanding" from this Fall. Prof. Aukrust makes the point that Tupac was an icon whose saintly status went far beyond his fan base and that the rapper's contribution to society was his propensity to point out the shortcoming of the establishment by, "raising a middle finger and saying 'f*** you, all you motherf***ers.'" Word.
