Tupac was a man among boys when it came to the world of entertainment.His life was filled with ups and downs, he had no father and his mother was a Black Panther who was addicted to drugs.Sometimes he rolled with Suge Knight (SP?) like the night he got shot, but he was also a close personal friend of MC Hammer who was trying to help him get his life back on track.He was no saint, he was no demon, he was both. Born and raised a demon who at times showed the dark inside, but who struggled to be a better person and to make a difference in the world.Who else, after the died at age 25, would have been considered the best at what they did 10 years later?
he did bring it on himself a bit, im not saying he deserved it or it was his fault at all... im just saying his lifestyle and things he did/said didint help his case, espically considering the tendencies of his peers when pissed off...*waits for some pac fan to freak the fuck out*

He's the most influential rapper of all time who still lives on through his music. If he wouldve had more time imagine what he wouldve done. and i never said 2pac is more influential than MLK, i said they both were leaders who did negative things or so called to get their point made. And I think Malcolm X was more influential than MLK.
mlk is like a billion nothces higher than tupac... and all i was saying is tupacs biggest mistake was not dropping all that hood, gangster, thug, fight, grudge crap... because it gets people shot....
As much as I love Tupac becuase of his Baltimore roots but as tough as it is to say he brought the violence upon himself. He was a brilliant guy, wiser than any person that will come off the streets, yet late in his career, he decided to ensue the East Coast/West Coast, Crips vs. Bloods battle. Maybe the whole Machiavelli theory of power got to his head too much but thing is, it cost him his life.He didn't have to go that way. Just because you're rich and famous doesn't mean you don't forget your roots. He could have easily walked away from thug life but chose to stay. Do I respect him for not wanting to let Hollywood get into his head? Yeah but then again he had to know that his success would make him a #1 target, as well as his "rival" Biggie Smalls. If Tupac just walked away from being part of the streets, I think he'd still be alive.50 Cent is walking away today, maybe he's learning from Tupac's mistake.Tupac will always be a legend but to say it was all a mistake he died isn't politically correct.
Tupac knew he was gonna die from his actions, it didnt matter to him cuz he knew his music would live on forever.And please dont bring 50 Cent into this, he doesnt deserve to be in the same sentence as Tupac.

Beef sells. Pac was from the streets and wanted to change the world. He wasnt fake like these present rappers. He stayed in the hood with his people instead of going to country clubs with hypocrits. He knew he was gonna die but he just wanted to spread his message.
O and the game and 50 cent are both straight garbage. The documentary was all 50 and the game couldnt go a verse without mentioned Dre, Eazy E, NWA, or 50. that album is annoying. 50 hasnt come out with an album since forever, if he was a genius then he would already have another one out. Pac was always in the studios unlike 50 who likes making stupid movies and games.

No im almost positive... actually am positive... he would rather have lived3.) he could have easily dropped the thug life, beef stuff, not beaten up that gang member after the boxing match, and still gotten his message across... but he chose not to... a mistake that cost him his life at age 254.) You obviously don't know shit.
You're obviously some larry the cable lookin mofo. I never u said any mainstream rappers are better than pac. If he wouldve dropped his gangsta ways as your ignorant ass put it then he wouldnt have sold albums or get his message across. Why are we talking about his death when he's in Cuba?
