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

[Roid Jones]

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.

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

It's what it seems like people believe pac = from hood = was a gangsta back then

Which is false

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

The frustration & confusion that is felt when facts about 2Pac is brought up. Outstanding music regardless

 

[OGBIGBOY187]

Lets talk about fat boy and his

 

[Clay Puppington]

Pac haters getting tuned up in this thread

Makaveli rest in peace

 

[Kairi Irving]

IDK too many folks from/in the hood that use the terms "gangbanger" or "drug dealer"...

So your opinion is invalid IMO...

you acting like people didn't believe he was a gangbanger or drug dealer

His image wasn't a tough guy it was a street affiliated nikka know the difference, you know what comes with all that it entails.

 

[invalid]

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

Mobb Deep was in Ballet when they was young
Jay Z was in Hawaiian shirts as a backup crew for Daddy Kane and Jaz O
Biggie was a nerd when he was in school
Method Man played Lacrosse before the rap game and a fortune teller
Eminem was watching dishes at a diner while his baby momma was fukking other dude
Rick Ross was a security guard

What's the big that dude was a dancer back in the 80's? This was around the time New Jack Swing was popular.

So they all were code switchers?

And here the Coli advises brehs to do everything to not fit in in corporate America.

Pac & Lil Wayne has had the biggest influence on rap imo, so many not really tough guys out nowadays

Lil wayne

Lil wayne

Tell me Young Thug, Uzi vert, Lil pump, Lil skies, Kodak Black, xxxtentacion and countless nikkas I can't even remember don't look like a variation of him

Anyways, im not surprised the coli continues to hate one of the realest rappers of all time that came from an all pro black family and touched on many issues in the black community that we see to this day.


But yall go ahead and dikk ride 6ix9 or whatever lame rappers that are out today.


TheColi.com should be renamed to TheCac.com

I'm not either, but it always kills me how ppl try to Pacs gangsterism to the ppl he was runnin with, on Death Row...

There are levels to shyt. A cat could be with the shyts, yet still look like a in comparison, to the calibur of criminal, he was dealin with, messin wit dem Mobb Piru nggas. Those dudes were APEX street predator, killers and shooters. Dudes hardened by pinnacle 80/90s gangbangin and prison systems in California...

How many nggas aint lookin softer or spookier around that element?

 

[Mastamimd]

Too many Cac00ns up in this bytch, I swear

 

[DaHNIC82]

Pac took his bytch

All black people are a monolith and should worship false idols

You a clown like all his other Stans

I don't hate Tupac, I just outgrew the mysticism clowns like you shrouded him in


I bet you the same type of nikka that was co signing six nine when he was telling everyone to test his gangster


This thread revealing who is really pro black and has any sense in their head

 

[Booker T Garvey]

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

Not sure if you're joking or not but sometimes I look back at a lot of shyt I saw dudes do back in the 90's like
