Alright we're done here, this shyt is too stupid/white for me. Lol

Much love :manny:
Sure dismiss it. Marginalize it like it’s “simply lyrics”, “he just wrote about it.” We’ve been doing it forever “oh mental health, thats white people shyt”. I know better now. The PTSD MooseMouth alluded to. One day it’ll hit you like it did me.

Aren’t suicides in the black community rising? This issue isn’t just a white thing anymore. Depression and suicide are an issue that should be talked about more within the community :yeshrug:
It ain't white that he's talking about suicide

It's white that he's saying all of Pac's lyrics are either 100% true or false.. Straight Cac narrative

And that these (white and black) people fukked with him for years and we shouldn't expect him to feel any sort of natural depression..

Mental illness is psychological shyt you're born with which he doesn't understand. The remedy to Pac's problem was to stop fukking with his life and his money.

Biggie had a song called suicidal thoughts.Rap and thugs nikkas do have a history of self destruction. Maybe there was some truth to the op and pac had other lines I think too.

"see no changes wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor and even worse I'm black
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch"

What’s your obsession with cac’s? Why can’t blacks have diverse opinions? Why can we have a discussion without including cacs or what you believe is there opinions into this? Forget about them for one second. And fukk your universal black narrative that everyone on of us has to adhere to. I happened to think every lyric Pac wrote he meant it . Only the context is different. If I’m wrong it’s only because my hip hop history on that end sucks. I was listening to mostly Rawkus records stuff.

Also youre dead wrong about mental illness being something you’re born with. That is a ridiculous statement and the science does not back that narrative either.

"Most mental illness is psychological shyt you're born with which he doesn't understand. The remedy to Pac's problem was to stop fukking with his life and his money."

That’s more accurate. But I disagree that was the remedy for Pac. That’s like saying the remedy for soldiers with PTSD is to stop fighting wars. No they’re stuck with that unless they seek help with the VA. The remedy for Pac was a mental health profressional.

Pac was deep and artistic, he also did seem to have depression at times and suicidal thoughts. He would mix in his own personal ish while also representing the feelings or views of others, he was a true artist.

Pac lived like a hedonist. Of course your gonna have suicidal thoughts when your dopamine levels are out of wack.

I'm Hard Like D-Block Readin The Book Of Enoch...
writing about suicide is cathartic,so in a sense if he twas suicidal/had suicidal ideation one of the ways to combat it is to write your thoughts out so you can actually see it physically and make you think/re-think your decision..

Pac had so much drama&trauma in his life that if he wanted to actually commit suicide then he would have tried at some point,which we have no evidence of,especially when he twas in the pen,that would have been the most likely time,cause if i'm no mistaken on top of the physical danger from prison,you also have the mental side when you're lying in bed just prolly rehashing all of his mistakes&old shyt he went through,also wasn't he in debt to Interscope albuls at the time as well..? Definitely more fodder for suicde potentially but he didn't go through with it..

then when he signed to Suge after he got out you didn't hear much about that side of him,so maybe it twas always just mostly a money issue..

if he had lived to his late twenties/thirties you might have heard more about his depression/suicdal ideation/maybe bi-polar side because that's usually when most males really start to develop this disease/those type of destructive thoughts..
