Word.

Ive always wondered tho, from all you OG's who were around at that time, was it reported and discussed by people about him NOT knowing they were cops? Or did everybody believe he really shot on duty officers and all that?

Obviously this was pre internet so information didnt travel as fast and as accurate as now but ive always been curious to know.
I was in high school at the time and it was reported that he shot 2 cops, but the full details at first were not given because he wasn't a household name yet and everyone wants to hurry up and report it. The same with Slick Rick. When he shot his cousin back in the summer of 1990, word was traveling so quick that they were saying Slick Rick killed someone. And the same with Show & AG when their manager were killed. Rumors were that they were involved in a shooting. Rumors are rumors. But all of the info about 2pac eventually came out. I personally think he was enjoying the media and people thinking he was crazy. Look at his interviews on the set of movies. That's the real 2pac.

At times he was gangsta, and at times he was wanksta. He's always been a flawed, contradictory man, which is part of what makes his music great and his story so tragic.

u hope but in reality you would NOT.
If you pull a gun on me and I have one, and I always do, then I'm firing. I've only had to pull a gun once in my life and I've fired it and this was at someone's dogs as I was exercising running about a mile away from my house. 3 pitbulls came off of a white man's property and I stopped running, stood in place HOPING they would retreat, but they kept coming. I pulled out, started firing. THEN I CALLED THE POLICE ON MYSELF because I wasn't in the wrong. I live in NC. Everyone here has guns, including the pastors in the pulpit of the mega churches. It's always been like that. I carry guns for protection, not to be a tough guy because I'm not that and never have been. We live in a stand your ground state and I'm damn near 50 years old. Someone comes up and punches me in the face for no reason, and I can indeed fight as a former DOCUMENTED fighter that trained many years, I'm pulling out that pistol and leaving some holes because it's disrespectful.

Joining a gang at 25 is the definition of an idiot. Doesn’t take away from all the other great things he was.
You can say What he did was “idiotic” and I would say yea. But calling a articulate and intelligent man like PAC who accomplished far more than all of us here… a idiot..

Naw

How old are you? Maybe we weren’t joining gangs, but he would have surely matured . 25 is still young. At 35 I’m completely different than I was at 25 lol. I wouldn’t like that person

Anybody whose from a real LA gang is questioning and clowning anyone who joins a gang after 21. That’s something you grow up in and join because of your living surroundings. Not as a superstar because your “friends” that you just met are bloods and you have an anger problem.

I’m not questioning his young decisions as a whole, I have made plenty of mistakes in my younger years. That’s a given. Joining a dangerous street gang in your mid 20’s is idiotic anyway you look at it. Can’t call Chris brown a poser but ignore this. It’s what got him killed. No need to sugar coat it. He’s still a great man. Mistakes happen.

He ended up gang affiliated because the music beef bled into the streets.Unfortunately for him, it became a seamless transition.This man bail you out, y'all have common enemies, and he's willing to give you access to his hired army of street mercenaries?Even if he wasn't technically jumped in, that was going to naturally become his new squad.Considering that Jack & Jimmy wasn't just your typical petty lil street hustlers, he needed a nuke in his possession to neutralize their power.Power respects power.When you have the capability to wipe each other off the map, you're forced to become more diplomatic.You meet at the big table, Don Corleone style, to pound out stipulations, and peace treaties.Once Pac agreed to Suge bailing him out, that was his initiation.They became in alliance.
