Listening to Makaveli and it's really hitting me that he was just 25 years old when he wrote this stuff, such a mind

Every time I listen to Shed So Many Tears, it's just

I don't think I've ever heard another artist dig that deep into their soul and be so vulnerable on a track.

It's icy cold blues.

I bet even B.B King was like when he heard that shyt.


And what was he like 23 when he made that shyt?


Pac was a bonafide prodigy IMO...........The amount of depth & substance in his songs at such a young age was/is crazy

Wanted to post this to get a discussion going about his true center as a person and on September 13th I would like to host a Tupac interview party, where we will share interviews and thoughts

I would like you to watch this with an open mind and no reservations on what you see in Tupac as a person


This interview always stood out to me, originally when I saw a clip of it because I thought the setting was weird and the video wasn't labeled so the context of it being an interview regarding Gridlock'd was lost on me.. It stands out to me because he seems so human. To think in the same day he could've done another interview at a radio station and displayed an entirely different character.. It makes me wonder if this is the real Tupac or if he presented a "safe Tupac" for Hollywood/film industry in an effort to advance as an actor by being friendly, non-threatening and accessible

Take a listen and give it some thought. This would probably work best with people that have known Tupac and been familiar with his work for at least 10 years.

I did when I went to Vegas. I was staying in a Marriott courtyard that was like right around the corner from where he was shot. Weird feeling looking at it.

Anyone wanna add their perspective on this?

Today marks 20 years since he passed so I think it'd be great to watch the interviews and discuss them

Seeing interviews like that just makes me look and be like "damn,Pac was mad intelligent. Why did he have to get caught up in some bs?" Then I gotta think back to that Ed Lover video with him talking about Pac and saying how he was a "torn soul" He really came out the womb ready for war just based off the Shakur name/history alone and had an agenda. He legit built an army,had multiple enemies,allies, personal loyalty, and used his street smarts to strategize on how to take over not only the music scene but other shyt as well. Just that night in Vegas, he took his street smarts,loyalty, and prob ego overboard.
