"We are the roses....this is the concrete" Tupac Shakur
Watch the Video on Youtube: Rose from Concrete posted and narrated by Derrick Rose
Tupac Shakur produced a
visual poetic rap of survival and tenacity in the face of overwhelming
obstacles in ‘Rose From Concrete’, an obvious derivation based upon the
classic book by author Betty Smith :‘A Tree Grows in Brooklyn’, written in 1943";
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is based upon the resilience of a young girl growing
up, and thriving in adverse circumstances, and it has always been one of my
favorite books. This song and video is a powerful, modern day message of
similar significance.
