The hilarious thing is...
Will Smith and Tupac are literally the same dude.
Lest we forget that Pac was at the Bmore school of arts doing ballet and Shakespeare plays.
Pac is the epitome of fake. Dude literally got into the music business by being a background dancer for Humpty Dumpty
And then comes back a few years later pretending to be a gangsta.
Dude was even reppin California when he wasn't even from California
And I say all this as a Pac fan. But dude was a fake, a phony just like all the rest of these rappers.
The only difference between him and Will Smith is that Will never pretended to be something he wasn't while Pac created a whole fake persona to be someone else. And wound up going too far with it and getting killed.
If he had it to do over again, I bet you he would be happy to follow in Wills footsteps and be the corny rapper.
1. I knew dudes who went to performing arts who were drug dealers, gangsters, and everything else. Since when does being talented mean that you're not from the streets?
2. Digital Underground were some real Oakland cats. Just like Hammer, just because they had a good time didn't mean that they were busters. If you were around back then, you'd know that.
3. Pac didn't "come back a few years later pretending to be gangsta". His upbringing was probably more "gangsta" than 99% of rappers. His stepfather's been in prison for murder since 1981. His aunt has been on America's Most Wanted list for 40 years and has had to hid in Cuba after killing a cop. His moms was literally in prison when she was pregnant with him. The FBI used to follow Pac to school when he was a kid.
He literally shot two cops who were harassing a Black man. That's more gangsta than anybody I can think of
4. Pac wasn't really from anywhere because of all the shyt I wrote about his family, but Marin City & Oakland are where he came into his own.
Most NY rappers still jealous of Pac

Will you're not alone..
This and there's a lot of jealous ass East Coast clowns on here still jealous of Pac after 25 years because he's still styling on their asses after death.
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.
Pac NEVER downplayed his Black Panther roots. That's fukking cap, nikka.
He literally wrote the THUG LIFE handbook with his stepfather Mutulu Shakur
Technically he was on the path to be the "corny" rapper, working with Digital Underground. In a way he was the better Will Smith at rapping, while Will Smith was the better 2Pac at acting.
Both dudes are different embodiment but the same progress of trying to find self. Pac sadly lost himself trying to follow the devil, instead of realizing that there was more to himself than being something he's really not. You can be a revolutionary, while not trying to set trip. You can rep the West, while calling Bmore your birthplace. Hell, Kurupt had two albums dedicated to his upbringing in Philly and his new found home in the West.
Pac lost his ways that led to his downfall, while Will thinking to himself how come that legacy can't be mines because of a woman's devotion to the past....
Digital Underground weren't corny.
Where do you young nikkaz get this shyt?
DU were down with Ice Cube & Ice-T back in the day.
Just because they had fun didn't mean that they were seen as corny.
Now, Will Smith was always seen as corny because he is.
And Will Smith was not better at acting than 2pac.
Pac's performance in "Juice" had Siskel & Ebert falling all over themselves.
Will Smith was just more "lovable" and did a lot of blockbuster type films, but that doesn't make him a better actor.
Pac literally trained and studied that shyt.
1st of all, Baltimore is not Pac's birthplace, Harlem is
2nd of all, Pac never stopped claiming Baltimore or even talking about growing up in New York.
