You lumped Nas & 2Pac into the same catagory. They are not the same. Nas was in the streets, he really knows street nikkas. 2Pac wasn't. 2Pac had loose associations with dudes who were street and he wanted to be that, but he didn't know the streets, because he wasn't apart of them. Plus the ones he aligned himself with seen him as food. He lost on all angles.
, i know because i've heard him say numerous times that he never had any type of run-ins or anything with the law until after his album dropped. i'm a 2pac stan duke, i've seen the dvds and sh!t, he's talked about this madd times
tupac as a teen......... tupac as a man!!!!!!!!!!!!!.flv - YouTube
smh he was acting lol sold albums though
Idc how any of you feel about Pac.....it may not be today, it may not be tomorrow but there will be a time where life hits you and a Pac song begins to play that will make you question your top 5 rappers very own lives.
You got it twisted.Pac barely knew Henchmen.Henchmen was boys with a Haitian Jacque who was with Henchmen.
If anything, BIG was a Henchmen groupie.A lot of them stories he was spitting about in his songs came from Henchmen.
Little Shawn - Dom Perignon (ft. The Notorious B.I.G.) - YouTube
That's Henchmen's boy Lil Shawn(the nikka who was supposedly crying when he saw Pac bloodied up).
Got BIG on the cameo.BIG was probably the hottest dude in the game at that time....why would he hop on a track with a nobody like Lil Shawn?
I bet it's because Henchmen wanted that favor.
Pac never said he was a gangsta or killer.He always said he was "Just a brother who fights back"
Like I said before, just because you're not street, that don't mean you're a punk.
nikkaz need to look at the family Pac came from.....His mom is more thorough than 99.9% of the rap game.They're not "gangsters" or street nikkaz, but in terms of having heart, fearlessness, and being down to fight for a cause...His family epitomizes that.
All I'm saying is, I don't think there's any punks coming out of that family.A lot of people don't know that Pac was chosen to be the leader of The New Affrikan Black Panthers when he was only 18 years old.
Not saying he was special or nothing, but don't underestimate the pedigree.nikkaz is acting like Pac was just some typical lame nikka on the block who wanted to be down with "the cool guys".
The dude was a rebel.I think when he met Haitian Jacque, that's what he liked about him.He was a nikka that Pac thought wasn't afraid to say "fukk these white folks, I've got to get mine"...Pac thought that nikka was a rebel, to....but when he found out about all the "Working for the FEDS" shyt, that caused Pac to lose respect for him.
And in that game, you have to be extra careful about how you "lose respect" for a nikka....I think that's where Pac got a lil sloppy
This looks funnier than it is....In reality this is typical behavior from a male raised by a single mother. A lot of men, including myself have made this drastic change. He was raised by his mother to respect women....got out there in the world and the streets & women taught him that life didn't work that way.....Let's not act like this man didn't grow up in the hood. Often times the FBI used to randomly pop up at 2pac's schools to ask him the whereabouts of his family members.....Think about how that has an effect on a person. Think about how different of a life he'd have if his mother didn't start smoking crack, he also messed up in school.
In addition dude was being interviewed for his school....Who's gonna act ******ish in an interview for art
school. Dude was being young & professional. Also people like to take pieces out of that interview to clown....Watch the whole interview and you see the way he talks about disrespect and how he doesn't like it......See how he talks about quitting a job at 17 in a store full of customers & blowing cigarette smoke......It's actually a very telling interview about Pac a person when you watch the whole thing.
It's clear to me 2pac was the same person but after high school he spent time in an area that cultivated his negative side instead of his positives (like school) He got caught up in the streets in his time in Oakland & just wasn't built for that life....It's more tragic than funny. But dude is far from a fraud....
He wontwhat songs did BIG flip a Henchmen story in? or please put the link up to your source where you got this info.
