PEOPLE, Page 89Rapperwood!
By MICHAEL QUINN/Reported by Wendy Cole
From Ice Cube to Ice-T, Rap artists are adding a new
number to their repertoire: "Hooray for Hollywood!" The cinema's
latest hip-hop hunk is TUPAC SHAKUR, playing a rapper-postal
worker wooing a poet-hairdresser (Janet Jackson) in John
Singleton's currently shooting Poetic Justice. Meanwhile,
Shakur's hit rap single, Brenda's Got a Baby, based on the
true-life travails of a pregnant 12-year-old, has kids in crisis
writing to the rapper. "They identify with me and all that pain
growing up poor. We need someone who's been through that and
escaped." You'll do fine, 2Pac.
