Title: 2pac the Martyr, The Prophet, The Book to be Read.
Post by: infinite59 on October 27, 2001, 02:22:57 PM
2pac bleed so we didn't have to bleed.  He did things that we wish we could of done, and alot of those things brought him success while others led to his death.  2pac is a martyr in my opinion, and his legend will grow as time goes by.  I'm not going to share with any of ya'll where I am on my 2pac project because your negetive comments only stall my motivation to finish it.  Just wanted to say that if ya'll really care about 2pac, and really want to know more about it, you need to read Micheal Eric Dysons book on him, "Holler If You Hear Me."

yo man i love tupac and i would love to see him as a legend but overblowing who he is ruins pac's image.... puttin out this shit makes a joke out of tupac and his fans cause no one takes it seroiusly and all the "non fans" are like "look how weird the tupac fans are that dude musta been wack"

u wanna make pac's name go on you dont start saying some crazy shit like "he bleed so we didnt have to" and overhyping making things over dramatic.. pac has to be shown for who he is and he isnt a savior sent from god he is a very impressive person with some major downfalls.... i could go on further about my opinion on pac but thats not what matters

what matters is you ruin pacs image with this nonsense and end up doing the exact opposite of what your itial goal was cause u turn tupacs name into a joke

yo, i read that michael eric dyson book and thought it was a bit too sociological for me. he didn't talk about 'pac as much as i wished he did, butit was still a good book.

infinite, don't worry bout what these other people are sayin, you got your opinions and keep up the good work bro.....

yeah cool but pac isnt a god...... or a religion

or whatever the hell u wanna be


you wanna make him a legend show him for who he is... makin up hypotheses about craziness makes him looks stupid.. like a siad a million times shit like this makes pac look like a joke and pac fans look ignorant and unfortunately the few people that act dumb are usually representative of the majority thats the way it always works....

few crazy muslims and now mad people hate islam... few crazy pac fans make us all look stupid

Yo JTPlat, thanks patna, you read the book, and you know that my thoughts are in line with what alot of people close to 2pac have been saying, peace.  Some people are too young, or their knowledge is too grafted for them to see the big picture.


And Ant, I question what you really know about 2pac.  Your 15 years old, how much do you really know about his pre-death row/East verse West- part of his carear.  How much do you really know about his early life and work?

Aight, correct me if im wrong bro, cos i may well be, but isnt a matyr someone who gave their life for a cause? If so, what cause did 'Pac die for, in your opinion...

Your right about the meaning of a matyr.  2pac's cause was representing his people, and thug life etc.  Now, I'm not supporting Thug Life and I wish he maybe wouldn't have represented it so maybe he'd still be alive today.  But, he shot cops, in defense of his homies, he road for any crew he was down with, and always spoke his opinion no matter what trouble it would get him into.  Let me explain.  2pac was intelligent enough and a good enough actor that he could have just been an actor and said fuck all that other shit.  But instead he was the voice of an alienated generation.  He embodied all of our anger, love, emotion, intelligence, all in one.

I aint tryin to disrspect you,  but u talk about an alienated generation,   Does that represent young black males an if so aren't you a white person,  how much could you truly know about being young an african american

look man im 19.... i got every single pac album... his poetry book, and one other book on him..

i got all the makevli bootlegs as well as a few other bootlegs and pretty much every quality unreleased song sorted archived on my computer in mp3 so relax

i know all that shit and if pac died for thug life that makes him a pretty shitty martyr.... right before he died he denounced thug life and said it was wrong... unfortunately pac's potential was never realized and your degrading his name and his potential impact on the nation... he encouraged positivity NOT negativty and proclaiming him a martyr for thug life is nothing positive... bottom line even if what you say makes good sense which it doesnt, when you say radical shit you dont get anyone to listen to you besides radicals.... if you want to make pac a legend show him for what he is and developing hypotheses about what you think pac is does not do him justice.... he was what he was not what you want him to be because you spent a year praying to him and think you came to some great conclusion

infinite, word up. does it make a difference what color someone is? fuck that shit. does someone have to be mexican to eat mexican food? hell naw, neither does someone have to be a young black male to see how young black males are treated in this society....older folks call pac "the black james dean" if that means anything to ya'll.....remember, james dean was that "rebel without a cause." pac was a rebel WITH a cause, we just don't know what it was.......

Ant, my bad, I thought you were the same Anthony I talk to online occasionly, I thought you were 15, but still.  I don't exaggerate what 2pac meant anymore then you try to simplify his existence.  Go your way, and I'll go mine, I apologize if I got more out of his life and music then you did.

infinate man, keep doing what your doing, the shit your coming out wit sounds like it'd b a interesting read. Furilla, the martyr shit, I know where your coming from, the shit about Pac becoming more of a legend as time goes by has continued to prove itself. I can't find that Eric Dyson's book anywhere here but when I do i'll b sure to cop it. I remember you was saying about this Pac project b4 but I can't remember exactly what it was will u explain a l'il more?

Thanks panta, and the 2pac shit I'm doing, I've already wrote some of it out.  But I've gotten with a producer recently and it might end up being on wax instead of a book.  But basically, if you understand Islam, the believe in all the prophets, and them being mortal man, I was going to depict 2pac as the hip-hop prophet of our generation.  I would explain more to you but I want to keep it on the low, because people are discouraging me about finishing the project.
