That bootlegger must have joined up with Bad boy records Biggie and the East side after that encounter with pac.. 😂😂😂

[@romeoromeo3828]

I saw a part of pac i didnt like. Loud mouth and cocky.

[@youngfig1]

Why cuz niggaz was eating off his legacy u buggin son..Rakim beat up bootleggers before if ur tape selling and u ain’t getting a dime from it u got the right to be cocky

[@carlosramirez7018]

That's what people liked about pac, he stood up for his rights and he was often loud in order to get his messages accross.

[@beastywild]

I didn't like that side either. He said himself he had to do things he wasn't proud of when he was poor. Those bootleggers are probably in the same position he was and just trying to get by to feed their families. He was already making a tonne of money for his music and movies around this time so there was no need to pick on these guys

[@Meilingsueyoung168]

Wym that was him tho

[@youngfig1]

beastywild dawg this the 90s there was no streaming or social media...music was calculated releases back then he got a right to be mad

I know the young niggaz understand this Growing up in this world where everything is scandalous I reminisce on tha fast times, past crimes Tryin to cop a slice of pizza with my last dime Can't explain, just what attracts me to this dirty game Gold chains, some extra change, and the street fame And what's strange is that everybody knows my name, swear they all know me And lots of cash make a nigga change I hit the green just to maintain, feelin pain For all the niggaz that I lost to the game... from my block -Tupac

Rest in love you where very inspirational so real words from you where spoken so well you will forever be missed 💯😇

[@hman1873]

This is the same energy that got him killed. I get he’s mad but the record companies were deeper in his pockets way more than a bootlegger. I wish he had more time to mature cause treating ppl like this (especially elderly) is not to be praised.

[@Luvvspiral]

I hate that you're right

[@sixx_808]

record companies play a part in the release of his album, this old man just bought 1 tape and dubbed a bunch of copies for his own benefit hes not associated with any of the artists hes making money off of

[@CostyBaba-Aka-Sulayman]

Is not easy. Theres right in both side. Is his tape. But maybe the seller also bought it and selling it. He should go easy on him, warn him and then go HARD ON HIS RECORD COMPANY FOR DOING ILLEGAL BUSINESS WITHOUT HIM KNOWING IT. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

Little did he know bootlegs kept his movement going. The labels took money from him, not the bootleggers.

[@tsunamitube3351]

In England at the time if you didnt have sky tv for MTV you didnt get to hear or see much of rappers. Bootleggers basically promoted the music for them and let us know what was big at the time and worth playing.

"It takes a thousand men to invent a telegraph, or a steam engine, or a phonograph, or a photograph, or a telephone or any other important thing-and the last man gets the credit and we forget the others. He added his little mite - that is all he did. These object lessons should teach us that ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms, pure and simple; and the lesson ought to make us modest. But nothing can do that." - Mark Twain

[@hiphopmexicancarrillo4859]

Do you think trying to fit the role got him to a point where he was not acting as him, like if he was stuck on the Lucky character? just wondering.

[@seaofseeof]

Tupac Shakur the person was a sensitive art school kid who wrote Madonna a letter admitting that he felt intimidated by how sexually experienced she was. Tupac Shakur the persona was the loudmouth. Tupac the rapper was his attempt at compromising between the two. At the end of the day, what got him killed was his unrelenting drive to prove his street cred, playing with forces he had no real experiences with.
