I actually would like to understand more about him and why he has become this larger than life figure. No disrespect but to me just another rapper who happened to have his life taken away from him too soon. I would like to see and understand what it is his fans see.

I agree with this. I mean like what's the point of studying his lyrics in classes? It ain't like his stuff was hard to understand. People give him too much credit for stuff that Public Enemy, Rakim and KRS-ONE has said in a more advanced way, WAY before 2pac's time. i.e. Do yall remember that KRS-ONE joint that went like
"WHOOP, WHOOP! That's the sound of the police!"
Now which one of Pac's songs are more advanced lyrically than that KRS song I just referenced?
