Although he acted immature at times. He was still highly intelligent for his age.

[@theundergroundera7985]

Nicki Flowers7 He was mature as fuck for being in his early 20s with a fuck ton of money. Look at kids now like JB who makes millions of dollars, and talks like a 5 year old. Pac just acted on his ambitious attitude

[@iganzeharera4804]

@TheGooners11 he has a reason to do it just as lady gaga would use her nakedness as a tool of attraction In entertainment industry you have to be know by anything good or bad and unfortunately in Hollywood a half naked picture sells more than a full groomed picture and also bad boys do caught attention than good guys

[@sindi0408]

Say what you want But Pac was a VERY SMART man. I saw this interviewer trying to play fool like she was underestimating Pac Intelligence..smh...

[@cqtaylor]

The interviewer is Tabitha Soren. I remember watching most of her interviews with Tupac in the 1990s. She's not underestimating his intelligence, but just calling him out on his past actions and statements (as any good journalist, or friend, should with another person).

[@ybe87]

Tupac was smart no doubt but he was still immature even then, and in the MGM on Sept 7 96 as well he just had a wild spirit like he said gotta love him though RIP

[@thermonfortson1923]

shit y'all uncle tom asses up and respect a prophet when you see one if you can't call out one when it's due how will you know if Jesus is in your presence that's the sad part

[@bigsmoke53]

Tabitha was sad af when she announced Pac's death back in the day... You can tell they had a connection the way this whole interview went down.

[@weworldwide1348]

lol she's an interviewer; not his friend. It's her job to ask uncomfortable questions and get him to open up and explain things even if YOU think they're obvious.

He actually had the balls to stand up against injustice! Real OG

[@RapFanatic4ever]

Yep he did

[@susans4822]

People seem to forget he was in his early 20s and finding his path. It’s astounding that he amassed this much knowledge in those short years.

[@SACH316-f5c]

Incredible...

[@rayvaughan3197]

The seeds were planted when he was a child, Afeni & Mutula gifted Pac & his siblings with books and pencils & paper for xmas & birthdays and encouraged & nurtured them to read ,observe, question, think and express their minds. To praise & love Pac for his articulate ways his intelligence and intellect is to praise the foundation laid by Afeni & Mutula Look back at the reel of Pac at 17 been interviewed in school , at 17 he was displaying it. ... I was 24 when Pac died, I loved his music (still do), I loved his small catalogue of movie roles, but everytime he spoke in interviews or when a camera and mic where aimed at him he captivated me, he was a year older than me but spoke older & wiser, everytime you look back at these interviews it's like "damn he was so ahead of us all" 👊😔 Legend!

[@proposition96]

I think the fact that he was so highly intelligent at that age is why everyone held him to such a higher standard he gave off the vibes of someone whose been on earth for 70 years but still displays drops of immaturity which is to be expected he was 20 sheesh lol

[@sammyakbhowmik6935]

Fun fact: Tupac wore a bulletproof vest regularly ever since the 1994 shooting. However, on 7th September 1996, he refused to wear a bulletproof vest even though his gf urged him to wear one because he said the weather was hot. That night he was shot 4 times and he died 6 days later. Imagine a person wearing a vest regularly for months on end but refusing to wear one on the very day that he got shot to death - it was as if he knew exactly when and how he was going to die and that he wanted to die. In fact, he even rapped about exactly how he was going to die in the third verse of changes. He knew that death was coming for him and he embraced it with open arms. RIP 2pac 💐
