Oakland to honor rapper Tupac Shakur, interview with sister and longtime friend

[@SuiteVII]

Mike Tyson says that no matter where he is in the whole world, people always ask him about Tupac.

[@dominicbrogsdale3348]

I was at a Marlon Waynes comedy show last week and he named off a bunch of music legends that he wished was still here and when he said Tupac named EVERYONE CHEERED they didn't cheer for biggies , dmx , or some of the others but 2PAC!!! But the difference between Tupac and a lot of the other artist is that he used his time and energy on earth to serve , love , show compassion for other people and people don't forget that! He may have had his issues but he at least tried while he was here on Earth through his acting , interviews, and music !

​@@dominicbrogsdale3348Man you said a mouthful for a great man late great Tupac Shakur 💯💯💯

[@dominicbrogsdale3348]

@@ChedricBigby no doubt real fans know what's up! Not to sound religious but there's a scripture in the Bible that says " he who serves will be the greatest among you " ✊ and when we look history such as Malcolm X , dr.king , Micheal Jackson (people still leave flowers and notes ballin 😢 😭 they eyes out in front of Micheal Jackson never land ranch!!) and anybody else who show love and compassion who's known across the planet ! Murals , paintings , statues , streets named after them ( Tupac just got one in Oakland ) but long story short it's not the people that talked garbage and nonsense but the people that tried and did the best they could for humanity while they where here on Earth! " He had a heart that was huger than any , Tupac had a vision that was a small Catholic c , and and it's not because capitalism is worldwide people were precisely attracted to Tupac because he was looking for the right way to articulate humanity in the midst of chaotic difficulty" - Micheal Eric Dyson on Tupac

[@jlnapoleon]

I sure wish I could have went. Thank you TuPac thank you

[@DanielNour-y1c]

Im from sweden and tupac is a legend here aand even in the world he is a legend.

[@didyouknowamazingfacts2790]

PAC definitely loved Oakland. He said when he die give everything to Oakland.

[@dominicbrogsdale3348]

" when I was in New York in never got the game but when I moved to Oakland they taught me the game "!!!! 2pac

[@seanymac242]

Finally some real people talking about the man.

[@truthoverfacts9254]

As opposed to A.I.??

[@BiggerdreamsYT]

@@truthoverfacts9254nuh all the others

[@dianedemetria8796]

Jada😂

[@JustAguyFromJersey]

Yes as opposed to A.I. which are normally the types we, wait what? Artificial inte-NO! By A.I I thought you meant "all ignorant" as opposed to those who really knew Tupac that are "actually intelligent" people who can "articulate intellectually" in place of the people they normally get that (not all but most) are "all idiots" by media outlets constantly attempts at keeping Pacs name crunched up into just one small box in an attempt to make him seem "adequately inadequate" (👈🏿 that one was a reach I know this but gimme a break) over, and over, and over again by definition is "actual insanity" which is probably why a lot of them misprounce his name as 2-pack. Due to all the trouble they had trying to pack his whole life into one box which they clearly could NOT do

[@justuseubank9192]

I struggle with understanding how I encounter black people in their 30s every week who are not bumping him 😳 it's all good tho

[@BM-qg7hl]

What a classic lady, his sister seems a well educated person.

[@kreign2557]

"Hero's get remembered but LEGENDS NEVER DIE."

[@boondoggle4820]

I think that one of the reasons why 2pac’s music lives on and his legacy is so strong is because as he said in one of his interviews, he deals with core human needs in his music, and he does so in a really open and fearless way. That’s why it resonates so strongly with so many people.

[@vittaveve1939]

Wow well said.I appreciate this comment

[@mogamatyusufmartin9171]

True 👌🏿

[@AKT020]

He was crazy brave and smart for his age Legend....

[@zingasmith1076]

Its about damn time something like this happen for the greatest rapper of all time Tupac Shakur...The state of California should do more to honor 2pac he rep that state like no other artist could...There should be streets, libraries, and statues names after 2pac period...hopefully this is a start to begin honoring 2pac in cali.

[@robguerrero549]

Your right, he was all about Cali when he was alive. He is just as important as John Lennon

[@CaliforniaCalifornia-gp4hv]

In usc he have a class

[@domlesoir]

Blueprint 4 what exactly? How to talk knyiguh sheit & get popped? 🤨 his mistakes cost him his life

[@truthoverfacts9254]

I think Jay-Z said he gave us the blueprint, hence the name of his album.

[@rolandej6047]

​@@domlesoirI am sure you wish you could be recognized like Pac, it's sad because no one would remember you when you gone, you're just a jealous and hateful person.

[@makaveli143]

Oakland always cared for pac, even after his death, still shows him love and honors him ❤

[@totalbliss1]

Tupac had such an amazing impact on the lives of so many kids growing up in the 90's. If you loved hip hop, Tupac was a force to be reckoned with. I was fortunate to have met Afeni when she came to DC to sign the book of poetry by Tupac. Took a picture and still have that book. I live in MD now, where Tupac once lived and also lived in the Bay Area for more than 10 years and been to Oakland many times. Got to meet a few rappers when I was there... Too Short and Spice 1. Still have a couple of original photos of Tupac that someone who knew him from there sold me at my time there. He spoke to the youth in ways that no other rapper since has spoken to. He made a huge impact worldwide and not one other rapper can claim that or has come close. Next up should be Baltimore, LA and NY since he lived in those areas as well. Moving around being targeted by the FBI with his mother being an ex-Panther was no joke.

[@kreign2557]

On tha real... meeting Spice1 would be dope a.f.

[@totalbliss1]

@@kreign2557 @kreign2557 Met him at the hospital I was working at. He came in for a previous gunshot wound to the chest that happened a year before. The bullet was still stuck in his chest because the doctors felt it was better to not remove it. Don't know if he eventually got it out. He was inside his Escalade when someone tried to steal it. They didn't see him because the windows were tinted. Shortly after he opened his door, he got shot. Took him for his x-rays and CT's where you could still see the bullet. Spoke to him about his time with Tupac. It seemed to me like he had a lot of love for him. He was real cool and friendly. He stayed there for a few days and I saw him several times. On a side note, Money B's (from Digital) brother worked there as a security guard and he knew Tupac as well and relayed a bunch of stories about him too.

[@LouieLouie-cl3iy]

Tupac Sis is a pretty, black, beautiful queen.😍😍😍😍

[@AngelHoll-pr8fz]

I agree

[@ElliotHlohlolo]

Im from South Africa hearing this wonderful gesture by city of Oakland to honour T.A.S simply Pac i had goosebumps of joy it made me think of it that every city around the world to have a name after Tupac Shakur for the impact he had made to black communities, i personally survived the peer pressure of crime because of his wisdom through poetry. Pac's life lives for ever. Aluta continue ✊

[@TheresaofTheWorld]

I just visited Oakland for the 1st time this year. Shed tears for Huey p Newton and poured libation where he took his final rest. It’s for us.
