    Lets calm down here people. None of these post talk about what Vilma was talking about. I don't think he intended to make a Tupac thread where people can argue who is cooler between The Game and 50 Cent.

    1. No rapper alive (or dead for that matter) has even come close to the status of Tupac. Not 50 Cent, not The Game (I don't even know who that is, true rap died with Tupac since Snoop and Puffy went to the pop-rap style).2. Tupac wasn't involved in the beat down of that gang member. That was Suge Knight and his crew. MC Hammer vouched for Tupac and said he was a bystander, not a participant, in the beating.3. Tupac did not want to die. He just expected it. There is a difference.4. Tupac was influential beyond his music. He had people getting aids tests, was (usually) a testament to women's rights, and getting out the black vote. He did more good than he did evil in this world.5. While the last few months of his life were caught up in the East-West battle, this was a relapse. MC Hammer (a friend of his) had him improving his life and moving away from being a thug. Suge Knight pulled him back in.6. Rappers don't keep it real. Why do I say this? Because music changes the lifestyle. All these rappers talkin about the ghetto, when they've bought a house in Malibu (and they all do once they get a pay day) are nothing but a bunch of fakes. You aren't anti-establishment when you have a record deal with a major corporation and star in movies made by a major studio.

Ended up getting himself shot 10 times in his life (more less? i forgot how many it was that killed him) if he has been able to send his message and not promote the thug life he would most likley be alive right now...many rappers can do it, and since hes the best... why couldn't he? I know he could, and no one said he had to be a "whit washed bitch"Promoting a thug life, shooting people, grudges and gangs is never good... a bigger man demotes all of the former... Also the line you quoted david... yes, thats his biggest mistake right there. Keeping the lifesyle much like in JuiceHere is all im saying shorted so you can understand skillz... Tupac was an amazing rapper, and had great messages in many songs. His promotion of the thug life is ultimitly what led to him getting shot, and then shot and killed, and it is extremley possible to not promote the thug life BS and not be a "bitch". In fact It would be more manly and held in higher regard. Ever here the people who say rap is a cancer to black society? Its the thug part of rap they are talking about, not the good messages... tupac did both, and one cost him his life. And earlier one of you said no rapper alive or dead has ever come close to tupac... wel my friend, nas isint dead... and thats damn close.edit: also would like to add, not shooting off at people is not being a coward... its being smart. Life is worth more than pride, if he didn't think so... well, that was his problem... I don't give a shit what he said, Im just pointing out one of the main reasons hes dead.

The motherfucker grew up goin to a fuckin white ass private school. He even said his whole Thug Life phrase did not mean a thug like a gangsta, but a person that grew up in the ghetto and didnt have shit (Which he said white people portrayed them as Thugs). He grew up around dealers and gangstas but he wasnt one of them. Oh and from what I've heard from Nas, he aint close to Pac. By the way do you happen to be caucasian?

I love Rap, basketball and kool aid, but i hate chicken. 6.) Tupac Shakur was far from God, maybe you will learn that when you grow up a bit7.) listen to more nas8.) I must repeat, I havnt once said tupac was in a gang, was a gangster, or deserved to die9.)10.) nine and 10 are just to make it go up to 10

He even said his whole Thug Life phrase did not mean a thug like a gangsta, but a person that grew up in the ghetto and didnt have shit (Which he said white people portrayed them as Thugs). He grew up around dealers and gangstas but he wasnt one of them. Oh and from what I've heard from Nas, he aint close to Pac. By the way do you happen to be caucasian?[/quote]didint say he was, but did he not promote through alot of his grudges the same principals.... things like Hit em up... those are why hes dead. the last thing... does it matter? ha ha i knew someone was going to bring in race... which is mind you, pathetic.[/quote]I dont even need you to answer that, I can just tell you are cuz you are like "OMG hes a gangster because he cusses alot and disses!"[/quote]1.) put words in my mouth why dont you2.) again, never said he was... said he promoted the image3.) have yet to hear a reason hes dead from you, if he didint egg it on himself at all4.) come on, even you have to understand something like hit em up isint doing much to protect yourself5.) why bring in race? are you that pathetically retarded? that sterotypical? do you assume since you are black you automatically know more about rap kool aid and fired chicken than me? I love Rap, and kool aid, but i hate chicken. 6.) Tupac Shakur was far from God, maybe you will learn that when you grow up a bit7.) listen to more nas8.) I must repeat, I havnt once said tupac was in a gang, was a gangster, or deserved to die9.)10.) nine and 10 are just to make it go up to 10[/quote]He died cuz he helped jumped this guy that Suge and his homies did. The guy later caught up to him at a stoplight. Thats why.Hit em up is a diss song, he talked shit so what? It wasnt even Biggie or Puffy that killed him.First I am not black, actually brown. But I only asked if you were white is cuz about 90% of white people do not know shit about gang life, it had nothin to do with rap but how you were sayin his songs were sayin "Oh be a thug thats the best thing you can be in the world". Didnt say he was but damn I never heard anyone that has put out such songs that make you think than his do. Maybe, I like him and all but wouldnt say he was close to Pac. But you said his songs promoted the message that bein a gansta is the way to be.
