Hoover and the FBI did the Panthers dirty all the way up into the 80's. You'd think they stop in the 90's

Yes, I'm pretty sure they would seeing as Hoover died in 1972. Also, contrary to popular belief, Tupac Shakur was not a Black Panther, his mother was. Granted, Pac shared some political views with the Panther Party but he was not a member. This whole "the government murdered Pac to keep him quiet" theory seems a bit ridiculous.

Maybe I have to re-read the post but I don't think anyone in here has said Pac was killed my the government (at least not in this forum) though there are those theories floating about the net. Hoover died in '72 but the FBI still kept heavy heat on the Panthers even after his death. Pac wasn't a Panther, no one denies that, but you didn't have to be a direct member of the group to be on the radar. Every active seed of the Panthers is known by the government. If you're born to Panther parents and decide to get active in politics, etc even a little, you'll be taken notice of in a heart beat. That's just how the FBI works. Martin and Malcolm's kids were also listed by the FBI for surveillance

no doubt mixture of weed, drink, enemys and no sleep will do that.

Martin and Malcolm were major historical figures in the Civil Rights movement. The Black Panthers were a group with thousands of members. I don't think it's the same. I think people buy into the "government killed Pac because he was a Black Panther and they were scared of his movement" theory because it's a more romantic notion than some of the others floating around. I mean, they could have been watching him because his mom was a black Panther or it could have been because he was rolling with Death Row who were rumored to have ties to drug money and gangs. Who knows? In Pac's day, the "hip-hop police" were less commonly-known than they are now.

Hip-Hop police are minor nobodies. Former Panthers will tell you, any relation to the Panthers was enough to get you on the radar. Get active enough and you go from being on the radar to being under surveillance. Pac went beyond hip-hop police, but not enough for the FBI to even be concerned enough to kill him. You don't have to be as big as Martin and Malcolm to be watched, they'll know who you are before you blow up.

Kurt Cobain: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you

[fabtoxicp]

all respect to pac, but he sure as hell was paranoid than a mufucca.
he was goin after fugees, jay-z, mobb deep like it was the most serious thing in the world to him, really aggravated-like - while the niggas he dissed, were lookin at him like "dude, what the hell is ur fuckin problem?" "somethins wrong wit u" 
if u were from newyork, and said "i aint feelin dat nigga pac music" or somethin like dat, he basicaly thought u were goin after him in a war
crazy muddafucca 

[COMPTONRIDA1]

U'd be paranoid too if you were a Black Panther baby.

And they say he was murdered by gang violence..it was the government...
