The "REAL" Reason Why Tupac Died?

[@kingado1149]

I think it's annoying how tupac is still heavily misunderstood to this day. I don't think the man was a gangster or trying to be a gangster lol, he was just a rebellious young man and didn't take crap off anyone, his family was black panthers, so that mentality and warrior spirit was embedded in him since childhood. Pac has way more uplifting songs and councios songs. Songs like so many tears, death around the corner, changes, hold ya head, blasphemy etc. He has way more deep songs than so called gangsta rap songs. It's a disrespect to his legacy to just label him a gangster rapper. That man was an amazing poet

he was around his Mom a lot in his younger years. if you watch Afeni’s interviews, she uses her hands the same way. once he got around more male figures, he naturally developed the masculine nature. at 19, he was totally different from this interview at 17.

It can happen, I was raised my a mom, I never moved my hands like that. I can see how it can happen though, maybe we’ll never know the truth.

nah that aint an excuse. I was with and still am with my mom 95% of the time, am an introverted shut in, and barely get social interaction but the people I rarely do hang out with know I dont act or talk like a female or am as irrating as my mom. for someone who grew up in the 80s, its no excuse to say that pac couldn't have had male figures around because you had to have irl friends back then.

But he also stood his ground, opened fire on corrupt cops that were harassing a black man when he tried to intervene and the cops started assaulting him. One story from his friend or body guard in a documentary i watched awhile back he was telling this story where someone in pacs neighborhood was telling people he was looking for Pac, pac got word of this and went to the dudes house by himself to confront him and knocked and asked the guy “ I heard you’re lookin for me?” The guy said he couldn’t be mad at Tupac anymore after that and respected that he was crazy enough to even come there by himself 😂 like the dude was not some pansy he’s just got a soft side and it’s showing more here where he’s talking to a woman and is a kid.. and the hand movement theory is so ridiculous it isn’t even worth talking about 😂

@@TuneinMelody I know right. And the fact Stevie entertained this ish and claims he's a Hip Hop head... I understand the reasons as to why he'd entertain the idea, considering the obvious elephant in the room when it comes to the industry right now *cough*, and I understand his unbiased POV, AND I have no doubt he IS a Hip Hop head, but surely as a Hip Hop head you should know more about 2Pac than what he displays right here. I don't know what it is, and it could just be me, but I've always felt like he doesn't really mess with Nas and Pac (more Nas) as much as your typical Hip Hop head would. Maybe it's just preference, however, that's just one of my observations. You know if someone else made a video like this about Eminem, he'd shut it down immediately...

17 or 25, he acted the same. one was young, lighthearted & clearly Afeni influenced. the other is older, more alone, fell into a different lifestyle & naturally became more masculine. i dont think he was qay or fake, just wasnt afraid to show evolution in front of the world. he DIED young.

Totally agree. Diddy and all these human trafficking rings (Epstein, Kelley, Ballard, Kutcher, Oprah) are run by the CIA and the real rich people. Tupac came from the wrong people. He had strong Black roots and connections, he came from the resistance. He had no chance in that arena of vampires and baby eaters. They can make him look anyway they want to.

When he moved to marin city and oakland is when he started to get out of his shell a bit more and hung around street dudes, started selling a bit of drugs here and there.

[@NorrisFoxx]

Tupac actually discussed this in a 1994 MTV interview. He was raised by his single mother ("Any man raised by a woman is going to have some feminine characteristics.") but during his mid to late teens and on was exposed to more masculine traits while in the streets. "Because I was raised by a woman half my life and then thrown to the streets it's like I got the woman side, and then I got real rough manly values forced on me." Tupac used hand gestures when he spoke because his mother, Afeni Shakur, used hand gestures when she spoke (there are interviews where anyone can clearly see this). He still used hand gestures when he spoke up till last days, as can be seen in the behind-the-scenes footage of the "2 of America's Most Wanted" or "Made N*ggaz" music videos, or simply watch his interviews. Almost any questions anyone can ever have on 2pac was addressed in some way in his interviews.

[@cadaver-dog-kat]

What about if this was just his cover story. I knew alot of guys raised by single mums and none were picking up their hand gestures. They all still had their own interests and hobbies outside of relationship with their mother, if fact the females raised by single mums (even feminine mums) were extremely tough and self reliant due to school and the need to be. If his that close to his mum that his starting to be like her it's probably another sign 😂 Btw I love pac don't think it really matters now since his dead (may have back then) but just had the cover story thought as I read your comment 😊 I'm now going to go find his MTV interview 😂

Pac didn't even start out as a gangster rapper... he was more of a conscious rapper until he met Suge. Check the discography... Starting out as a Dancer for Digital Underground. Followed by his introduction into the rap world, then his first solo album, Brenda's got a baby. And that is just his fully followed discography. His initial first album was more militant in style, considering his mother and father were members of the Black Panthers, simply titled: The Beginnings, it contained several tracks that spoke of black empowerment, and was halted due to the lack of permission from his estate to release the tracks. However, it was not really until he went full Death Row that his albums really changed. If anything, the change had more to do with his ties to Suge than it was being placed as a plant in the music industry. Candace is way off...

Pretty sure he shot those two off-duty cops before he signed for Suge. Pac was wild by nature.

He was 17 and homeless at the time, I believe his teacher, I can't remember her name, gave him a room to stay in. She is the person filming and interviewing him. The interview predominantly was about his black panther roots. You should all watch the whole thing, you really see how intelligent he was at 17! He'd already read the art of war, most of the works of Shakespeare, if not all of them, most of the classics, psychology, etc. Exceptionally intelligent. He described himself as an actor in the clip, because he was studying acting at the school he was at. Also, the hand movements, he'd just quit his job, was no doubt angry, and didn't want to push that anger onto his host and make her feel uncomfortable. Context is everything.

He's a 17 yo teen talking about girls and complaining about how hard teens had it back then, mainly because they were inheriting a "ruined planet." Typical teenager stuff that every generation complains about, which is why it's called teen angst. And for those complaining in the comments about Stevie, give the man some grace.
