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.
When did he downplay his black panther roots? Did you hear his last album? AEOM is literally the only album he has released in his career without heavy pro black leanings, his last album told you all about the direction he was going to.
You act as if being pro black and being in the streets couldn’t be sometimes seen as synonymous with each other in the 90’s half the rappers from Ny in the 90’s were 5 percenters still talking about selling crack and etc.
