Tupac was like 24 when he died. He knew more than your average 24 year old, but he was still ignorant af. When I was 18, I didn’t think like I did when I was 10 anymore, when I turned 24, I didn’t think like an 18 year old anymore, when I turned 35, I didn’t think the same way I did at 24. Tupac had a lot to learn, and didn’t live long enough too.

[@TheObsidianLogic]

Tupac was a great lyricist, but nothing he said should be taken on a high level. Black folks talking about elevated their consciousness from a rap character that got tricked out his life by a low life thug named Suge trying to play gangster. Go read up on James Baldwin, A. Philip Randolph, or Medgar Evers instead of a rapping negro that made you feel some type of way. With all due respect!

[@ChoicesMade696]

Everyone interprets everything differently.. even kids when they listen to parents and grow up in the same house.. when one becomes successful and the other become a street person... even tho they've heard the same teachings from a parent...

[@s4cakagospelgorillaz98]

He didn't say Tupac wasn't loved. He was saying the persona and character of being a thug overshadowed the true message of what Tupac was trying to push through the acronym thug life. Which ultimately him being mixed up in gang culture is what led to his death. So he saying if he knew Pac was more of an intellectual and revolutionary and was really planning to make major moves to help people. Then he wouldn't have followed what he thought the thug life message meant. But followed the true heart of Pac.

He didn’t listen to or study Tupac as well as he thinks he did. If Tupac inspired you to be “criminal minded” then your comprehension and understanding of him and what he represented is way off

[@bigdawg9782]

Well Charleston did say they used to rob other races, Pac always said getting back at them “now we taking from them” .

[@tsunami2447]

PAC inspired criminality in a lot of his music. He had an Outlaw vibe to his music. His group was called the Immortal Outlaws, the group after that was called Deathrow. He clearly had Criminality laced in a lot of his music. Everything wasn’t Dear Mama, or Keep your Head up

[@GMCworldwide1979]

@@tsunami2447 Being that he was literally birthed from The Black Panther movement Tupac was naturally a militant “outlaw” - speaking out against things such as the CRIMINALS in government and police brutality The Outlawz were also named after world leaders Kastro (Castro) Kadafi (Gaddafi) etc etc to symbolize the rebellious/revolutionary ways of Tupac and his Outlawz. Go listen to the song “Outlaw” on the MATW album. That was actually the first time they used it and changed the group name to The Outlawz. That song is not about being a criminal it’s about rebelling against injustices, oppression, and thwarting the efforts of enemies that come with it Again - if Tupac inspired you or anyone to be a criminal then the onus is on that individual to gain a better understanding…..because Tupac’s message is quite clear.

[@tsunami2447]

Charleston is spitting facts with this one and it may be a hard pill to swallow or may not connect with many who are still so deeply idol minded but 2Pac misled an entire generation of kids just like all the other rap characters, yes he did have some positive music but the overall message was horrible, people love to run with this narrative that "Tupac never said he was a gangsta" then why did he have a song titled "Gangsta Party" who do y'all think was at that party Nerds? 2pac made you think being a thug was cool, he gave it a different meaning but you can't change the definition of a thug, a thug is a thug, just ask yourself, would you allow your son to wear a bandana to school, pants sagging, spitting toting a Glock and screaming thug life?
