It's just difficult because Pac moved around a lot and never really had a place that he always claimed as home. Born in NY, moved to Baltimore, then to the Bay Area, then to NY again for a bit then eventually in LA. It's hard to find some loyal people when you're always bouncing around like that, regardless of why. For someone like Snoop, Long Beach will always be his home, just like for someone like Suge, Compton will always be his home. And they both have homies back there who will have their back. Pac didn't exactly have that in any of those cities due to him always moving around throughout his life, outside of his family and someone like Big Syke or the Outlawz. It's like he was always the new kid in school.
[In 1992 at the ‘Truce Picnic’ in Cali, Tupac was instrumental in getting rival members of the Crips and Bloods to sign the Code Of THUG LIFE. He and Mutulu Shakur had helped write up the ‘code’ , with help from other ‘og’s’. The Code of THUG LIFE is listed here.It details do’s and don’ts for being a righteous thug and banger. Code OF THUG LIFE: 1.All new Jacks to the game must know: a) He’s going to get rich. b) He’s going to jail. c) He’s going to die. 2.Crew Leaders: You are responsible for legal/financial payment commitments to crew members; your word must be your bond. 3.One crew’s rat is every crew’s rat. Rats are now like a disease; sooner or later we all get it; and they should too. 4.Crew leader and posse should select a diplomat, and should work ways to settle disputes. In unity, there is strength! 5.Car jacking in our Hood is against the Code. 6.Slinging to children is against the Code. 7.Having children slinging is against the Code. 8.No slinging in schools. 9.Since the rat Nicky Barnes opened his mouth; ratting has become accepted by some. We’re not having it. 10.Snitches is outta here. 11.The Boys in Blue don’t run nothing; we do. Control the Hood, and make it safe for squares. 12.No slinging to pregnant Sisters. That’s baby killing; that’s genocide! 13.Know your target, who’s the real enemy. 14.Civilians are not a target and should be spared. 15.Harm to children will not be forgiven. 16.Attacking someone’s home where their family is known to reside, must be altered or checked. 17.Senseless brutality and rape must stop. 18.Our old folks must not be abused. 19.Respect our Sisters. Respect our Brothers. 20.Sisters in the Life must be respected if they respect themselves. 21.Military disputes concerning business areas within the community must be handled professionally and not on the block. 22.No shooting at parties. 23.Concerts and parties are neutral territories; no shooting! 24.Know the Code; it’s for everyone. 25.Be a real ruff neck. Be down with the code of the Thug Life. 26.Protect yourself at all times.. http://mutulushakur.com/site/1992/08/code-of-thug-life//quote]pac broke half of the code[/color][/b]
what did pac run from in the bay? ryan d? lmao that's just inconsistent as hell.pac didn't even "run from" NY, he had the balls to see Nas there in his own city.
I remember a lot of people on the internet used to think that Pac was a bit crazy and delusional in accusing Biggie/Puffy of setting him up in 1994. But it seems that he was right all along: I was just reading up on Pac news from the last few years and noticed that this dude Dexter Isaacs confessed to shooting Pac in 94, in a letter where he implies that Puff was involved and he calls Biggie his friend. Can there really be any doubt, then, that Pac was justified in riding on Biggie? Here's the link: http://www.thisis50.com/profiles/blog/show?id=784568%3ABlogPost%3A25660551&commentId=784568%3AComment%3A25670863&xg_source=activityThe best that could be said for Biggie and Puffy is that they might not have ordered the hit. But they knew the guys who did it, that much is certain. As Pac said in interviews, Biggie should have at least let Pac know who robbed him. And if you're the king of New York, you should know about a crime taking place in the building you're recording at. So, after all this time, the truth is out, Pac was justified as a motherfucker in riding on Biggie and Bad Boy. And these bitch ass niggas are going to be dissed for centuries, as long as Pac's music is played.
Lol @ this thread, like it's some news. This been known since forever, 2pac knew it himself. Smh @ some of you clueless "live-by-entertainment" cats. They robbed him cuz THEY bought his shit. The problemwas that he tried to reach for his gun & then either it popped & they got him, or either or. They was gonna rob him. We're not talking "take-your-shirt-off-with-millions-of-tattoos-screaming-gangsta" here, we talking about real cats who move heavy. Again, 2pac was never a thug or a gangsta. Period. They used to call him out for that at that time too. After he died it became different, in you people's eyes.They used to sport the shit they took from 2pac in Brooklyn & all that all the time. Everybody knew. Biggie did warn him, but 2pac didnt listen.Lol @ "running up on Nas" like that means something. Nas is a rapper. If he really wanted them they'd get him. Stop listening to stories. You niggas really think it was a full blown out war & Death Row were just walking like that? It was neither. Same when Biggie came out to LA.Another gem, the reason Nas, 2pac & Biggie met is really because of the same people that eventually robbed him..which is also why he immediately thought Nas dissed him after his issues with those cats. This is real life. Like his music, but 2pac was an entertainer, nothing more nothing less. Not a revolutionary (came after he died for some reason with the mix of his family background, so that would make Kanye revolutionary too then no?) & nothing more.What's funny is when 2pac was alive he was basically today's Kanye West..people was so tired of his "antics", news stories & callled him everything from "attention whore", to fake, to sell-out (for going from Brenda's Got A Baby (black conciousness was IN at that time too dont forget!) to gangsta shit, following Death Row) to dumb & all that back then too. Different when you die tho, in guys from Europe, Africa, Middle East eyes after the media coverage post death.
Kanye? Seriously? Not quite a good analogy.
For one when 2pac died niggaz was still fucking with him and the only peeps that were tired of his antics were alot of weak ass New York rappers cause he was dissing them niggaz and they was never replying. Biggie dissed him after he died on some HOE shit but didn't say nothing while he was living.

Different when you die tho, in guys from Europe, Africa, Middle East eyes after the media coverage post death.On some real shit fuck them lame niggaz who you think are "heavy" in the game. Cause at the end of the day they all turn out to be snitches (Haitian Jack, Rosemond). To me if you are not trying to give back to your community you really ain't shit to me. Niggaz profiting off poisoning the hoods and flash a few jewels and niggaz always trying to put them on a pedastal. Thats that young shit. Truth be told, I don't think anyone in this thread knew 2pac to label him whatever but he definitely had the mindset to be much more positive at the end of the day to our people then the average person out here in the streets and I think people respect 2pac for that, his knowledge not because they think he's a "gangsta". He died young and had the POTENTIAL to be revolutionary and thats all you can ask for in a person. Who know's if he would have ever got into politics or died another death.The positives about him where also reason for his demise. As usually it always is. He was always willing to put it on the line for the next nigga and seemed stand up in the actions that I've heard of. One thing I didn't like was him pulling Biggie into the situation and using that thang for leverage to sell records....now that was some HOE shit. Nas let a bitch run him (Kelis) and everybody I ever heard challenge the lil nigga so it wouldn't surprise me if 2pac did punk him. That shit don't even matter though.Comparing 2pac to Kanye is crazy! For one when 2pac died niggaz was still fucking with him and the only peeps that were tired of his antics were alot of weak ass New York rappers cause he was dissing them niggaz and they was never replying. Biggie dissed him after he died on some HOE shit but didn't say nothing while he was living.At the end of the day 2pac had a lil bit of everything in him but the fact that everybody still keeping his name alive good or bad HE made an impact on society...this all with being raised with NO FATHER and a mama who was on crack at a portion on his life.
Kanye? Seriously? Not quite a good analogy. Kanye throws tantrums about not winning MTV awards (even though at the time he had a comfortable eight-figure fortune) and was stealing the mic and jacking the stage from a little white girl country singer while thinking he's the savior of music.
