Will Smith hated that he wasn't what Tupac was

Because I'm telling the truth?

I can be a fan and be honest with my fandom.

I'm a huge Nas fan too, and I think he's one of the biggest hypocrites in hip hop.

I'm a Kanye fan, and I think he's a c00n.

I'm a Common fan and I think he's a sellout.


The things you are saying sounds like someone that only knows what he heard in vlad interviews.

In a weird way, I think I understand what he’s doing. He’s trying demonstrate what it truly means to be free in this society. Not trying to sound existential but imagine being in a place where you can literally say eff it and say everything that you’ve ever bottled up and share that without care of judgement. The stuff that Will is talking about is not something people don’t get or understand. We all get it. It’s just most of us wouldn’t reveal it bc of how others will judge us or how we perceive we would like to others by admitting we are envious, jealous and have failures. Most people hide their failures. Most try not to be vulnerable. Most wish they could literally shed the weight of the masks they wear every single day interacting with different groups of people. I don’t always agree with what the Smiths say but I think I understand what they are doing. They are removing all the weight that comes with being them. If you’ve watched Will for awhile from all of his interviews and his YouTube videos you could see this was germinating for awhile. All of his expectations and weight he felt to carry as a black man and the world top actor has changed as he’s grown. He’s in a place where he’s life screw what everybody else thinks. I’m gonna be me, not the version people want to see. The real me. It’s real freedom.

that’s my thoughts. Based on peoples reactions and commentary about him, you could see how society tries to box you in and even in honesty they judge you and clown your for it.

Well put. I was kinda thinking the same thing but you said it.

Hes telling the truth nd getting his shyt off because hes in a position where he can, and it feels good. People wanna say "shut up, why can't you be as cool as I want you to be" but they are only validating his whole philosophy. Trying to be what ppl want you to be for so long is probably exhausting as hell.

And to be fair Hes speaking in past tense here. In the article he is talking about his mindstate way back when Tupac was alive and he was still just a young actor... :heh:not NOW when hes worth 500m and Pac is 6 ft deep.

Ok now Will, shut up about it. He is destroying the persona he spent almost 30 years building on his own now. I bet you 2Pac would have traded places with you of he could.

Will’s net worth is 500m, that’s more than PAC could have possibly made so why does it bother him so much? He’s fukking Will Smith.
:what:
Because Pac has his wife's heart. He wishes she would love him like she loves Pac :pachaha:

99% of the rap industry felt the same way.

The Superthug image of Tupac ruined the mentalities of a generation of black men, and you know it as well as I do. People were pressured into thinking and behaving that you gotta go the thug route to be anything worthwhile back in the 90s and early 00s.

for a nikka who was 5'8, he attracted alot of famous women to him on his level.

more than any other black male celebrity probably

the charisma was just there

Cause Pac caved into the beast of the scary black man image that was popular back in the 90s. He straight up try to downplay his Black Panther roots, to appeal to hoodrats and lost dudes.
