Any of the older brehs ever notice the legend of 2PAC gets tougher as the years go by? He’s not the only one. But his legend increases by the years.

what Jada HATED what he became. By the time of his murder they hadn't talked for YEARS because of the THUG LIFE bullshyt.
This is a lie. They were on and off. It had nothing to do with THUG LIFE u fukkin goofy because they was still good during the whole Thug Life era. They got into an argument and wasn’t speaking. But all that YEARS shyt is dumb based off the fact that Pac wasn’t even a celebrity for THAT long and was only on Death Row for months. He didn’t even make a year on that label.

So you think LA was the sole reason why Pac was a wild nikka? That completely ignores the person he was prior to Death Row.
That Outlawz even said it. Pac died doin Pac shyt. That was just how he was. He was reactionary. Wild. And sometimes did shyt before thinking about it. He was ALWAYS like that.

Drake grew up in Harlem, Baltimore, Oakland during the crack era? Mother a black panther? His uncles, step father, god father all street legends? Drake shot at two officers? Drake made a song like Trapped, and Brenda’s got a baby at age 19?

you Cac’s are funny
None of that had to do with trying to bang Blood at 20.

If he hadn't been a famous rapper - he'd have been an example of what "not" to do.

Pac was around gang nikkas since the beginning. I don’t see nobody accusing him of banging Crip when he was around nothing but Crips during the Thug Life era. Big Syke was an OG crip. And he always shouted out Kato who died. And he was an OG crip. And it was crip nikkas who whooped Alan Hughes ass. But let’s just act like he got to Death Row and got turned out by the gang activity. What about Biggie and Puff throwing up gang signs and running with Southside Compton Crips?

No, he wasn't. He was around them for an incredibly short time in his career - he didn't run around in blue bandanas and wasn't signed to an NFL football flunkie who wrote bright blue suits his entire life, it was only about 3-4 years.

That isn't to say he wasn't around gang activity - or street activity in general. Of course, he was, especially where he grew up, with who he grew up. But he was not a part of it, no one has ever claimed he was.

His choice to pick up the rag in his early 20s for clout was incredibly stupid in hindsight. That isn't to say he wasn't influential or prolific as an artist, or as a passionate person against the US racist machine. But he was simultaneously that figure, and a clearly lost 20-something

Baby girl was draped in Chanel
Said she love Tupac but hates some LL
Seen her at the bar with anklets and toe rings
She can take a prince, turn him into a king
I was looking at her in the limelight, pearly whites
Said her man get paper but he don't live right
All these emotions flowing inside the club
Do you really wanna thug or do ya want love?
She gets the paper when it's time to get it on
She keeps these clowns thinking like Jack B. Quick
Honey smoke make you click, feel it in their throats
No joke all this love, let it stay broke out
Behind every playa is a true playette
Bounce you up, outta there, push and check
Taster's choice, have you nice and moist
Or play paper games or floss the Rolls Royce

Pac was never officially PIRU and he was around Thug Life and them crip nikkas for LONGER than he was on Death Row. He was barely a month on that label and yea he signed with Suge because Suge held him down even before that and he wanted to get out of jail. The CO’s was beating the shyt out of Pac in jail. It wouldve been a dumb move for him NOT to sign.

naw.. I think he grew into it once he move to the Bay Area

But I do think after getting shot in New York and being in jail , he just loss all sense of reality of thinking before doing

Makes sense. Get shot and survive only to get sent to prison for a rape you didn’t do and you have to find out in jail who shot you and next thing you know people you thought were your allies turned out to be enemies and are more than glad to tarnish your memory.

For a person that was already a live wire that’s the kinda shyt that’ll charge you up past the point of no return.
