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

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

This was his highschool interview that showed he wasn't on the shyt he created an image around as a rapper.

Even jada didn't want him back then cause he was too square for her. While she was selling drugs after school, he was delivering pizza. I remember some interview where a gay dude in his drama class was talking about how compassionate & non judgemental he was.

Fast forward to the 90s, they both in LA now he's the gangsta and she's the Actress.

Your favorite rapper was different in high school and I don't even know who your favorite rapper is.

Nikkaz talk alot of shyt but that's after I'm gone....

Exactly. When Pac was dissin NY Jay Z and LL were quiet AF.

Who is the hardest rapper in your opinion? Like who you think has the most street cred?

To be honest maybe some local rappers I know that’s about that life

It's crazy how dudes STILL throw out the line 'this guy grew up in the hood ' like everyone from that environment is a super thug or drug dealer

I remember something he said in a MTV, or maybe it was someplace else. Anyway, and I am parapharasing, he said that those same thugs and criminals that whites are afraid of, so are blacks. The only difference is that we have to live with them. Even as a teenager that told me everything I needed to know about him in a positive way.

He’s 100%right

Tupac father figures was jimmy henchmen, Haitian Jack, Suge and The other older street dudes

Tupac is one hell of a artist, but he only talk shyt when he was in groups with a bunch of nikkas..

me and some of the older la street dudes still laugh at Tupac when he said I want to bring the crips and bloods together back in the 90s

nikka please, nobody paying attention to a outside nikka about LA streets and you was never around the bullshyt

2pac's father figures were Mutulu Shakur, Sekou Odinga and people along those lines, nikkas who were locked up for REAL shyt. Not petty thieves but revolutionaries. There was a criminal element within those movements just because it sprang from the streets, but these nikkas had codes, conviction and COMMUNITY.

You laugh about the prospect of bringing BLACK SOLDIERS in the streets together for a common cause...but that's one of the FEW things that the government really fear about black people.

Goal# 1. Prevent the coalition of militant black nationalist groups.
Goal# 2. Prevent the rise of a "messiah" who could unify and electrify the militant black nationalist movement. Key in on how old heads were less of a concern, they were worried about who could get the youth to bust a move.



You think Pac couldn't, matter of fact DIDN'T electrify the masses? Especially young black, militant minded soldiers? You can say unifying was a pipe dream, but that was the game plan and should STILL be the game plan. But as you can see, just like you don't gotta be a 'street nikka' to be LIVE, it's plenty of 'street nikkas' that are p*ssy and willingly do the bidding of their true enemies.

I can dig it, I don't know those rappers you're talking about but I'm sure if they was in the same situation Pac was in at quad studios they would've just taken the L instead of refusing to give their jewelry up with guns drawn on them like Pac did.

There's no stories of nikkas punking Pac and he went to war with the biggest gangstas in New York and LA. He got shot but he never got punked.

LL just throwin subtles, because he's mad Pac became so iconic and revered, and they're basically from the same era. LL wants to be seen or remembered, like Pac is...a lady's man, and a thug. LL never garnered that respect from the fellas, or captured that essence. He could spit when tested, but overall he's known as "Ladies Love Cool J". That shyt burns his soul...

TERRIBLE POST.

especially the part where you think that LL & pac are from the same era.

 

[R=G]

He was a very sensitive dude for the good and for the bad.

Sensitive enough to call out crooked cops and congressman.

 

[Wild self]

He’s not wrong. Men love that image he portrayed more than women. “He’s a real man ,not like this soft fakkit generation of men” - a grown ass man who claims he’s straight

But honestly......he fukked up the dating game for black men for a Loooooongggggg time. Back then, these broads were chasing down "ruffnecks" that knew how to "put them in their place" . Had a whole generation of dysfunctional dating in the black community. Had a bunch of young brehs thinking that they had to be on some superthug shyt to get with a brehette, which caused a huge spike in interracial dating and a bunch of Drakes to be born in that era. The crack era was the domestic version of Vietnam and mental slavery was real back then.

I was referring to his music , he wasn’t on that gangsta shyt

dudes really think Pac had people shook like that huh???

Definitely had NY shook..they didn't say shyt till he died.
