After taking on the position in 2017, Foxhoven proceeded to distribute emails to coworkers praising Tupac’s music. According to documents uncovered by The Associated Press, the 66-year-old employee sent at least 350 pages’ worth (!) of such fan material.



quote:

Not only that, but Foxhaven also celebrated holidays and special occasions with Tupac-themed treats and messages. For Valentine’s Day, he sent out an email quoting an appropriately sweet Tupac lyric from “Dear Mama” which read, “There’s no way I could pay you back but my plan is to show you that I understand, you are appreciated.”



quote:

For his own birthday, the government worker brought in boxes of Tupac cookies that featured the face of the legendary rapper, as well as song titles “Thug Life” and Changes”. Additionally, he regularly presented “Tupac Fridays” listening sessions. And once, while giving advice to a fellow employee, Foxhoven said these lyrics from “Changes” helped to keep him inspired at the DHS:


quote:

We gotta make a change/ It’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes/ Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live/ And let’s change the way we treat each other.”

I hold Van Halen Thursdays at my job so I guess I couldn’t complain?

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that celebrates Tupac Friday. I thought I invented that shite!

"Changes" and "Staring through my Rearview" are my two favorite Tupac Songs. I'd party with this guy.

So he had to resign because he was too big a fan of Tupac? Or someone found it offensive....not sure whats going on here.

Tupac doesn’t have enough songs to carry a full work day.

Unless we can leave when the playlist is over, then I support

I'd probably be sick a lot of Fridays. That sounds awful.

My workplace has a "Barry Manilow Monday". Everyone seems to call out sick on that day.

Our “ruling class” is so bizarre.

I’ll never understand how we allow weirdos like this to hold power over us.

We have a Ruby Tuesday every once in a while. But things change with every new day.

I would be down. Kids these days do not know a real lyricist like Tupac was. This reminds me of the military guy from Idiocracy that fell in love with the pimp life
