Let Me Be Judgemental For A Minute.  Pac Drank, smoked, Killed People (Supposedly), Went To Prison, And Endorsed Gang Violence.  He Wasn't Much Of A Muslim....  

Peace To Pac Though, I Hope He's At Peace Now, He Had A Rough Life.

He wasnt a muslim at all. he just supported many of their black empowerment ideologies.

I've read he was a muslim a few times, but I doubt he was a practising muslim, he prolly jus' supported some of their views as Loc said.

Pac never killed anyone supposedly.  

As for Pac being a Muslim, I doubt he had submitted to Islam in full, I think a couple members of the Outlaws may have been Muslims.  And on the Still I Rise album in one of Pac's albums they call for an Islamic State.  Pac also openly critisizes Christianity in "Blasphemi" on the Makevelli album.

And I think Suge is a Muslim because he said in the BET interview from jail, "you can't just be religous on fridays."

if you think pac was a muslum you couldn't be more wrong, blasphamy is a song against phony christians not christianity as a whole....like loc said pac looked up to many important black figures that just happened to be muslum....pac was far from muslum i know that becuase for one he ate pork and 2 he's always said lord and god not allah


plus there were like 5x more churches than mosques in that music video


pac was a christian (not a heavy follower)

about the rumors about pac studying an other religion before he died , he wasn't studying islam, he was studying this one black, egyption shit

also pac wasn't a muslum becuase Rev. Jesse Jackson visited him in the hospital before he died and  said that he knew pac was on the right road and i doubt jesse jackson would say he was on the right raod if pac was muslum

damn you kinda make it sound like it would be bad if he was muslim, he wasnt muslim but i wouldnt call him christian either

and nas isnt muslim but he says Allah a lot and stuff

and just to clear shit up

Allah = God, same god christians and jews believe in, Allah just means God in arabic and a lot of people just say allah cause its in the holy language
Title: Re: was pac muslim?
Post by: Don Jacob on October 11, 2001, 02:55:29 PM
i know what allah means i'm just saying that pac refers to god in the christian sence, when nas says allah it's just to rhyme a word like "dolla"
Title: Re: was pac muslim?
Post by: Doggystylin on October 11, 2001, 02:58:48 PM
yeah i see, and nas always wants to sound deep and stuff so that probably another reason
peace

It wouldve been tight if Pac waz muslim, but I doubt he waz 4 tha reason that are mentioned by Jake, infinite and Trauma....
Also if he waz muslim he wouldnt have worn those Cross chains dat he wore sometimes............

He was muslim,  but he didnt follow there religion,  he was like a hybrid mix an followed a lot of stuff that christianity followed.  Maybe when he got older he changed his religion but im pretty sure when he was born his mom changed his name to Tupac Shakur b/c of her muslim beliefs

tupac wasnt amuslim..not at all..he just agreed and sometimes followed the many beliefs of the religion...i wudnt say he had any...just his own beliefs on life

Post by: West Coast Veteran on October 11, 2001, 10:03:39 PM
I don't think Pac was Muslim. He might have took some ideas and incorparated them in his own personal beliefs but with all the crosses and bible passages tattoed on his body i think he was more of a Christian. Nas however said he isn't Christian nor Muslim but takes the good aspects of both religions.
Title: Re: was pac muslim?
Post by: Trauma-san on October 11, 2001, 11:08:54 PM
LOL

You Can't Be PART Muslim... Or PART Christian.  He Wasn't Muslim, Because He Didn't Practice Their Beliefs, Simple As That.  It Don't Matter, Anyways, He Was Obviously Spiritual, In The Way He Talked, So He Understood What He Needed To.

i dont think that tupac was muslim
oh ya.. Tupac Amaru was an Indian in Peru or something like this in 1800..around this time.. his mother named him after that Indio. tupacs full birth name is Lesane Parish Crooks  :o
Title: Re: was pac muslim?
Post by: DeaDSouLjaH on October 12, 2001, 01:01:28 AM
hey tupac amaru meant something in arabic like.. "serpent" or "in the name of god" or sumthing like tat.. newayz.. i mean how does pac being any religion affect your love for his music.. i mean whether he was christian/muslim.. he's still pac..

I remember 2Pac got asked what his religion was, he kinda dodged the question and said stuff like "don't really know". Then he came to the conclusion that he might be a 5 percenter like Busta Rhymes
