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

[DOGGFATHER96]

probably so, but he was an artistic twinkle toes before he got into rap

Never got it, never will get it.


Any man who will change who is for the sake of other people Cant fukk with it.

Lost a lot of respect for Pac when I learned more about his back story when I was a yougin

Do you honestly know his background? He was very poor even when he was attending that performance arts school which he was only at for a year at most while still living in the worst part of Baltimore. It's funny that people seem to think all "real ones" come from super rugged backgrounds when in reality majority come from good schools and households(ie C murder,eazy e, master p).

When I'm home I'm bumping my old LL thread lol

 

[DOGGFATHER96]

You can't be black if you still think pac was some tough nikka off camera

You can say that about every artist and every street dude in general, they all are multilayered just they have a shorter fuse than most

 

[FakeNews]

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, blinded by celebrities and romanticizing a fake image.

Hell yeah man when he saw them cacs bullying that brotha in the streets.... he must have been like let me risk my livelihood and freedom by shooting these cacs because it will make me look more gangsta and tough

man you cacs are something else

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

21:08 - 23:10 also 17:50- 20:00

From dudes in the Jungles of Marin that grow up with him as a teen....seems Pac always had a wild side.

Also there was a book by one of his high school homies he grew up with in Baltimore that gave an account of how a big bully tried to pick a fight with Pac over a female. He said when the dude rolled up on Pac after school, it shocked him that Pac's lil ass managed to pummel the dude then proceeded to give him the beats.

Edit: The Book is called " Back In The Day. My Life And Times With Tupac Shakur. by Darrin Keith Bastfield"

Not trying to make a case for Pac because he still had effeminate ways and we all seen that high school interview that made us all question him in the light. But I'm also considering accounts based off of ppl who knew him b4 the fame. Seems he had a balance to him, a soft side, and a austere side. Can't say he couldn't have developed into the persona we're discussing without considering all the factors that played into it.

Nah dude grew up in the hood he was always around it even tho he wasn’t a real street dude. But when he got in with the thug life gangs and then the death row things he took it to 1000

That was one of his persona, the artist at that particular time.
The man was growing and branching out..films and doing charity also in politics.

 

[Black Steph Curry]

No, sensible people don't worship celebrities. you sound like someone that's infatuated with status, you
might as well be a woman

No one is worshiping anybody. Just calling out hating as i see it. To dedicate time to be on another man's sack like that, especially someone you don't know, that's real feminine. @Coronavirus level feminine.

 

[goatmane]

It really Demystified him to me, he was basically a fully black drake

Drake? I never heard thar comparison. I did hear alot of ppl compare Chris Brown dabbling in gang shyt though

 

[Kinguno]

Tupac literally became a mythical figure

Sucking someone off is way more feminine literally and figuratively speaking

Not sure if this true but if it is all these nikkas in here deifying him are clowns
