"Jimmy Henchman is a washed up OG and he's lucky me and my nikkas don't run in his office and tie his ass up" - Tony Yayo
Going overboard again sportispice.
People loved pac because he stood up for himself. People loved pac because he was by far one of the most HUMAN entertainers to ever be in the public eye. To chalk that up to some simple minded shyt like people idolized him for doing crimes is inaccurate. That fits somebody like Jay Z than it does pac.
He ain't get got in NY because he was being negative, he got got, by henchman's own account for NOT BACKING DOWN same thing with the second shooting being that years down the line you have one of the shooters admitting that they were already paid and was going to kill pac whether it was that night or the next...you have a completely unrelated incident where he busted his gun for an innocent AT cops nonetheless regardless of if he knew they were or not...and then walking. People idolize that kinda shyt, not his rap sheet.
For one...there's always a middle ground between the shyt that gets hyped as conspiracy, it's always some building blocks of truth and some misdirection as well.
We can speculate a bout whether the government would, could or has used cointelpro tactics on musicians (they have). But this "behind the scenes" shyt is beyond speculation..it's a fact that people like henchman have been extorting artists since the game became the "game"..and just like cointelpro theoretical/conspiracy fodder at one time, it eventually came to light.
Of course you could reply with some sarcastic, dismissive shyt and probably will but really think about what was being said on this album assuming you've listened to it in some degree of depth. The martyrdom aspect of the release wasn't some half cocked concept where he was whining about people picking on him. He took it upon himself to do and say shyt that nobody else was going to, especially someone with his platform.
There was no "smoking gun" website in 96, nobody outside the game knew this was going on and nobody other than pac was going to say something loud enough for people to hear it.

Again nobody idolizes pac for being a fukking criminal. Saying he had a "bad boy" or typical rap image is plausible, but pretending like the Pope plays his songs at the Vatican because of his criminal prowess is fukking absurd. And I think you know better, it just doesn't sound as cute and snarky as your original talking point.
There is nothing hypocritical about having love for one of the greatest voices/artists in hip hop and in the same breath being glad that one of the main people fukking up the culture behind the scenes is getting his just due.
nikka aint believe that hisself"Jimmy Henchman is a washed up OG and he's lucky me and my nikkas don't run in his office and tie his ass up" - Tony Yayo
fukk you think this shyt is....prison break?
All I gotta say is he had the dude who assaulted his son murked.....I'm not saying he should've KILLED him....BUT I understand......
That "girl scout" merked the nikka in your avi with no fukks giving and isn't even serving time like snitch boi jimmy
You're not from LA nikka you're just some fatherless nikka that loves this gangbang shyt but you get your info from the net. Suge was fukking locked up, Mob Piru was depleted because of in-fighting, and the industry essentially fukked Suge over. That's why Hencmen was rampant in LA. Plus, was Tupac in Death Row Records when he got shot in NY? Why would Suge retaliate for Pac when Suge had nothing to do with the whole situation?
jimmy shot pac bu....bu...bu..biggienikka
every time jimmy comes up yall nikkas moving goalposts
FACT........jimmy shot pac and pissed out champange on California streets daily until the feds came knockin not SUGE
suge is a girL scout next to jimmy it is what it is...why suge aint merk jimmy for the love of pac?
#jimmy had suge shook suge knew better
live wit it
Nothing like that is going on in the thread, though...at nikkas in here acting like Tupac was on the verge of some social movement.

When SSCC murked Pac he retaliated with street shyt (Gang war in Compton) and the Piru retaliated for Pac. Why? Cuz they were involved with the situation. And as a result, Biggie was murked by a Piru who was involved with Suge.
Now where is Jimmy Henchmen? Oh, he is serving life + five years. Where is Suge? Probably sipping champagne as I type this. Instead of retaliating for BIG in some street shyt Diddy started his career off of his dead artist and made some cheep tribute song. Luckily Pac and BIG's killers are six feet under.
You can't be serious? Hes dead!
