[@derrickhoward1543]

2Pac clearly loved his people in general regardless if you were Deep in the streets/Grimy street dude or not. I think he saw more in people than what most did. Also I believe he gave people the benefit of the doubt and didn't just go off the perception people had. I think that's one of the reasons why it hurt him so much when people did him dirty. I understand it. I believe he wanted street guys to be apart of his revolution. If you look deeply into his Thug Life movement, that was basically what the movement was about. Look up the Thug Life Code. I remember him talking about Thug and he said it was mixture of the Panther mentality and the street element.

[@33GLOCK]

Yeah being naive aint It

[@roxxylala26]

Yup, the Thug Life Movement was exactly that. You hit the nail right on the head. Pac was a fierce leader BUT he was so young and still a little bit immature to lead such a movement. He didn't have much elders guiding him. He was trying to do it all by himself and got caught up in the street life violence.
