LL Cool J: "2Pac Had To Put On A Gangsta Image For The Dudes To Like Him"

[BmoreGorilla]

I know we all have our own tastes and opinions but overrated? There's gotta be another word for how you feel about his rapping brah.

Yea that’s just my opinion. As a rapper I feel he certainly was. He made some dope music but he was never among the best MCs

What people fail to realize was that Pac had different sides/emotions. He was also a chameleon that could adapt to any environment and situation.

All that anger and rage Pac showed wasn't fake....it was real. His childhood was fukked up, grew up poor, mom on drugs, dealt with racism.

Maybe he embellished being hard a lil too much but when it came down to it, Pac was about that action whether he was a street nikka-gang member or not. Tupac was a man first before anything.

He was a natural born leader with alpha qualities and the music he was making was a reflection of the ghetto: drugs, crime and police brutality.

Also gangsta rap was popular in the 90's and Pac felt he can get his message across to the street nikkas that wouldn't care to listen to concious rappers.

Ive always said the only peeps who hate pac are cacs and c00ns. U dont have to like his music for whatever retarded reason but the nikka was the last real.one left. And he called out all the bullshyt u see today and was a huge influence in the black community. I would bet he would try to form/partake a black political party of he was alive today.

I was never the biggest fan but Pac was definitely a real one. To try to discredit that becuz he went to school for the arts is some corny bullshyt

I see absolutely nothing wrong with any of these with the exception of Rick Ross. He was a Correctional Officer, but repeatedly raps about the drug game, and even stole a famous drug kingpin's name.

Everything else on your list is perfectly fine. Eminem just had an overall shytty life, Mobb Deep...idk about Ballet. Maybe they wanted to dance better, ball better, or just did it as a hobby?

There's nothing wrong with being in them books for Biggie, and idk why you mentioned Method Man. Lacrosse is a fukking sport regardless of who plays it.

Being a CO isn’t really an indictment on anything. I’m sure he wasn’t a kingpin. But there’s a lot of COs who are knee deep in the streets. They just don’t have felonies

Speaking of Method Man, he never even portrayed himself as a street dude. I don't see why he'd even bring him up.

LL is literally dead to me after making that song...

Went from one of my favorites rappers to whenever he dies I will hit the tiger woods fist pump...

Kanye West at his most make america great againiest wouldn't be on a song like that...

I remember reading a story about how the song was made that even Brad Paisley was looking at LL like "uh...buddy...you sure about this"

 

[Sccit]

LL IS TALKIN BOUT HIMSELF

HE’S THE ONE WHO WAS ACTIN THAT BAD BOY IMAGE

PAC ACTUALLY LIVED WHAT HE SPOKE ONCE HE GOT IN IT

HUGE DIFFERENCE

 

[Kaypain]

He wasn't an a street nikka, all that shooting shyt was for his image to make him appear hard

So what he wrote deep songs? That literally means nothing, he grew up in the hood like me and everyone else but he was not a gangbanger or drug dealer


Imagine coming from a black panther background but doing stupid shyt making songs about riding on other nikkas lol


once again, fanboys blinded by celebrities and romanticizing a fake image.

He wasnt a street nikka. And wasnt no bytch ass nikka either

I don't blame you. Never been a big LL fan myself (he's before my time) but that would make me lose respect for anybody

I just checked the lyrics and can't believe he actually said that shyt

It's been so long I had forgot exactly what he said.

 

[Kaypain]

Fake or not none of bytch ass nikkas is stepping to Pac back in the day anyways so

 

[Youngblood Priest]

Pac was a method actor. In real life he was a closeted homosexual.

Bruh, you a hoe ass nikka.

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

Fake or not none of bytch ass nikkas is stepping to Pac back in the day anyways so

I mean, considering the fact he was murdered...……..

You ain't shyt

Tupac was never a gangsta rapper until he went to Death Row, and he still had respect before he went the super thug route
