Politician explains what a Tupac Shakur is to parliament

At some point, you've probably had difficulty explaining modern music to your parents. But it's even worst when they try and explain it back to you.

Australian Liberal politician Luke Howarth was the lame dad nobody wants to talk about rap with Thursday, when he went to an little Tupac Shakur rant. 

Howarth was talking about increasing employment among young people, when he regailed the gallery with a strange segue about wearing rapper merchandise. 

"I had a guy came in a while back and he said 'Have you got a job for me?' And he was wearing a 2Pac shirt. I don't know if you know who 2Pac is, but he's a deceased rapper."

A "deceased rapper" you say? 

Not one of the greatest hip hop artists to ever grace the microphone? Not the Shakespeare of the West Coast? Civil rights activist and pure genius? 

Surely listening to All Eyez On Me would change his mind. 

Apparently, showing your love for 2Pac is great way to ensure you stay unemployed according to Howarth.

"He was about to walk out the door and I grabbed him. I took him out the back and gave him a bit of advice ... said if he's looking for work it's probably not a good way to turn up with a 2Pac shirt with the middle finger up," Howarth said — giving his fellow politicians the finger to demonstrate what insolence looks like. 

Thanks for the advice dad, but I'd rather be drinking Hennessy with Tupac.
