Nefertiti

[goymz]

Pac had a tatoo of Nefertiti.. I remember reading here somewhere that her name means "Strong women are 2 die 4" but after doing a google it says it translates as "the beautiful (or perfect) woman has come".

Id appreciate it if anyone had any info on the "Strong women are 2 die 4" mantra... such as, where this was derived from, who it was associated with and whether there is a picture pertaining to the mantra/person.

Like I said, Id really appreciate it.

You're right, Nefertiti does mean "the beautiful or perfect one has come".

2pac used that picture of Nefertiti to symbolise Black women, and underneath were the words 2 DIE 4 on his chest. This is where I believe it came from.

Yeah just realised that he had her image and then 2 DIE 4 underneath it, should have spent an extra 5 minutes on google.

In 2pac's case it was an amalgamation of both Nefertiti and the text... I dont suppose anyone knows of a 'strong women are 2 die 4' concept from a single source, rather than a two piece combo?

Cheers for the info Pittsey.
