Mike D of Beastie Boys: 2Pacs Quest for Authenticity Killed Him

[NvrCMyNut]

That and is apparent lack of street smarts got him killed.

Method Man said something similar in another interview. I don't necessarily agree but Meth touches on a few points.

The biggest example of a rapper playing a part is Tupac. He was a shy art student who assumed a role as this hell-raising gangster rapper, and then got caught up in it. In his infamous deposition video, you can clearly see that the “thug life” façade is stripped away.

MM: He became it. He wanted to come home! He wanted to come home, but that demon was still there. The way dudes move, they want to be the persona so much and after a while of doing it, you become that shyt. And then, it gets to a point where you’re like, “I don’t want to be this anymore,” but you can’t turn it off because you’ve already laid the path. It’s like takin’ a fukkin’ molly for the first time to see what it feels like and not liking the feeling, but you’ve got another two hours of this motherfukker so you’ve got to ride that shyt out. That’s what happens to these people, and that’s what happened to ’Pac.

Pac gets judged as if he was some 40 year old dude playing a role. When he was a 20 something kid trying to figure out life. Most of the rappers of his time are now 40+ and want to act like they did not do the same shyt when they was 23.

its true, this guy thought blacks would never harm him, guess what, they killed him

pac was a target

Lol

 

[prophecypro]

Lot of people felt this way after his death, it was a bit of a debate

This is literally becoming the most nauseating subject. If the man has dozens of interviews, songs, poems, and different things where he describes why he was how he was why the fukk in 2014 are we still making such bullshyt assumptions especially when the answers are all out there. The last mafukka I'ma listen to regarding Pac is a fukkin cac idgaf if he a Hip Hop artist or not. I'll leave with this quote: "nikkaz talk a lotta shyt, but that's after I'm gone. Cuz they fear me in the physical form." It gets truer by the year it seems.....

2pac never lied about his past he even said he did not have a record until he had a record. Pac was the typical young black male trying to figure out manhood. The media tried to make pac into this super thug.

The Misinterpretation of THUG LIFE fukked up a generation of black folk. Some people believe that it is a requirement to have a criminal record in order to make good music. shyt, if more of us respected Chuck D, a lot of the nonsense wouldn't have gone down in today's bullshyt.

Wait, wait, wait!!!

You're 45? :ahha:
You're not black? :ahha:
You're arguing with teens/young adults, on a black message board, about how real 2pac was...a man you never met? :ahha:

Muthafuucka...if you don't log off and raise ya kids...

This niigga need to be more worried about his IRA and paying for little Skylers college education...not Tupac's "street credibility".

jesus

People saying Pac became Bishop, but it's starting to sound more like Bishop became Pac

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

pac seemed to have multiple-personalities, but he was authentically him...that just happened to fluctuate drastically from day to day/year to year.

Pac had heart and far from soft, but its nearly impossible to survive going to war with heartless killers if you aren't one
