Sanyika Shakur Biography

Sanyika Shakur is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on November 13, 1963 in Los Angeles, California, United States. Shakur was born Kody Dejohn Scott in Los Angeles, California, on the 13th of November 1963. She was the daughter of Ernest Scott and Birdie Canada Both were originally from Houston, Texas. Kody was the fifth of six children, including four brothers and two sisters (Kevin,Kim,Kerwin,Kershaun,Kody,and Kendis). Shakur believed that Kody was the child of the former Los Angeles Rams running back Dick Bassand that he was born during an affair his mother was involved with the football player the claim of which there isn’t any convincing evidence. Ernest Scott held a bitter animosity towards Birdie’s marriage and physically assaulted his wife frequently throughout the early years of Shakur’s childhood. Ray Charles is his godfather.

In 1975, one of the West Side Crips nicknamed Sidewinder created a group known as the Gangster Crips of Eight Trays (also called 83GC, ETG or ETGC) in Shakur’s neighbourhood. On June 15, 1975, which was the day of his graduation from sixth grade, Kody was initiated into the ETGs. Shakur was invited to join the group (also called jumping into the gang: when the gang members assaulted the new recruit to determine whether or not he is courageous enough to stand up and defend themselves or her).

Shakur’s first arrest occurred in 1978 at age 14 after he shot at the employee of a fast-food restaurant who had assaulted his younger brother Kershaun and later assaulted and pulled a gun on Shakur. Kershawn Scott later joined the Eight Trays and assumed the nickname Li’l Monster.

On August 9, 1979, Raymond Washington, the founder of the Crips, was murdered in a drive-by shooting near his home. Because Raymond Washington always made it a point never to walk up to cars, it was determined that his killers were people he knew personally since he had walked up to the murderers’ car and had a conversation with them prior to being shot. Washington’s murder was blamed on the Hoover Crips (now known as the Hoover Criminals or Hoover Gang), which started a war between the East Side Crips and the Hoovers.

The year was 1972 and Birdie Scott and her husband moved to a home on West 69th Street and Denker Avenue in a rough and gang-ridden neighborhood in the west part of South Central Los Angeles. According Shakur Shakur the first time he came in contact with street gangs was around the age of 10, when he was attacked by two teenagers who stole his money. Because Birdie Scott was employed at a variety of jobs to help support her family, as and the lack of respect was shown to him by Ernest Scott, young Shakur was often seen in street corners of the neighborhood he was moving to. At this point, that he started hanging out with the neighbor, Stanley Tookie Williams, the head in his gang, the West Side Crips street group.

Sanyika Shakur (born Kody Dejohn Scott; November 13th 1963) Also known as his previous street name Monster is an ex-member of the Los Angeles gang the Eight Tray Gangster Crips. His nickname came about as an under-age gang member after Shakur beat and kicked the victim of a robbery until he was severely injured. Shakur said he had reformed while in prison, joined in the Republic of New Afrika movement and also wrote an autobiography in 1993 titled Monster An Autobiography by an L.A. Gang Member.

Ernest Scott physically and emotionally was physically and emotionally abusive to Kody regularly beating him and displaying an unintentional preference for Kody’s biological siblings over Shakur that included going with the other children to movies, dinners, and excursions to his hometown of Houston and consciously abandoning Shakur in the dust. In the year 1970, Ernest and Birdie Scott divorcedand throughout the following 5 years Ernest Scott was able to visit the family every weekend, however, he would still display disdain for the young Shakur.

As a new member of the Crips, Shakur was mentored in the ways of gang-banging by Tray Ball. In 1977, at age 13, Shakur and Tray Ball attempted to rob an older African American man who was walking through their neighborhood. The man punched Shakur in the face and, after being physically restrained by Tray Ball when he attempted to run, was kicked and stomped by Kody for approximately twenty minutes. Kody’s vicious attack left the man in a coma with his face permanently disfigured.

After being released from prison in 1988, Kody married his longtime girlfriend Tamu.

Kershaun was later arrested and sentenced to five years in California Youth Authority for murder as a juvenile. While recovering in the hospital, Shakur’s assailants from the Rollin’ 60s came to the hospital in an attempt to finish him off. Due to the intervention of a nurse who was attending to him, however, Shakur was unharmed.

During Shakur’s stay at Camp Munz, several major events occurred on the streets of South Central Los Angeles that involved the Crips. On March 15, 1979, the West Side Crips leader Stanley “Tookie” Williams was arrested for four murders committed during two separate robberies while on an alleged drug binge (to his death, Williams steadfastly denied committing the murders). Williams was sentenced to death row and executed by lethal injection on December 13, 2005.

Shakur’s younger brother Kershaun, who was by now a member of the Eight Trays and nicknamed Li’l Monster, sought vengeance for his older brother’s shooting. On New Years Day 1981, Kershaun and several teenage members of the ETGs committed a string of retaliatory shootings. Kershaun shot two teenagers who were standing in the front yard at a house party that was being thrown in the Rollin’ 60’s neighborhood and, later that evening, shot another teenager to death in a drive-by as the young man was walking down the street.

Shakur, along with his best friend Deautri “Crazy De” Denard, were deeply involved in this gang war and were responsible for shooting and assaulting dozens of members of the Rollin’ 60s. On December 31, 1980, 16-year-old Shakur was ambushed and shot six times by three adult members of the Rollin’ 60s after being set up by a group of girls who were dating friends from his set. Perhaps what saved his life was the fact that earlier that evening Kody had been drinking a cheap brand of low-end fortified wine called Night Train and smoked PCP with other members of the ETGs as the gang celebrated New Year’s Eve, and the level of inebriation that shakur was under at the time of the shooting prevented him from going into shock. After being shot, Shakur reported having hallucinations of seeing the faces of all of the gang members he had shot since joining the Crips, as well as seeing the infant daughter that he had with his girlfriend Tamu. Shakur survived the shooting and was hospitalized for several weeks.
