The student has effectively chosen a relevant and appropriate topic for their Extended Essay, investigating the portrayal of racism, gun violence, and police brutality in Tupac Shakur's music. The research question is clearly articulated, focused, and presented in the correct format, allowing for a detailed examination of Tupac's impact on these societal issues. The introduction outlines the purpose of the research question and contextualizes it within the socio-political landscape of America, demonstrating the significance of the topic. The student maintains an analytical approach, avoiding personal views, and aligns the investigation with the criteria for Category 2b essays. However, the essay lacks a clear discussion of methodology at the beginning, which should include an explanation of the analysis to be employed.
