I'm with you. Don't forget Rahzel either. Don't let him off the hook.
Tom, this shit is way bigger than what you are talking about. I know you are simple minded and it's harder for you to grasp deeper concepts. Really, I don't want to hurt your brain. My only purpose here is to defend Pac's legacy, because it meant something very real. See, what you don't understand is, while you are playing armchair Quarterback; Pac was living out his destiny. You can't fuck with another man's destiny. Pac's destiny was to be one of the greatest artists this world has ever known. In your own, little world, that is not something that you can even begin to wrap your mind around. See Pac had a destiny to be the greatest of All-time and to do something rarely done in the art world.. to live a life that imitated art, and have your art imitate your life. This was an amazing feet, and it was his destiny. He fulfilled that, he fulfilled his dreams. And he knew it was also his destiny to die young, you hear it in all his songs. He prophecized that.I know you guys will laugh and play the sarcastic role. Because your lives really aren't that meaningful. So it's harder for you guys to see the deeper meaning in all this. It makes you nervous because it only exposes the lack of meaning in your own lives. If only everybody could be low on your level, you could have a shred of self-esteem.
I've done a little reading into the subject and I want to set the record straight on the 'rape' conviction people are talking about here.This is a quote from the book The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders"Shakur was convicted of three of the nine charges, relating only to non-consensual touching of Jackson's buttocks (typically reported only as "sexual abuse"), and sentenced to one-and-a-half to four-and-a-half years, an extremely harsh sentence."So, touching of the buttocks is what he was convicted of. That paints a different picture than rape, doesn't it? Even more so, knowing that they would probably have LOVED to put him away for rape.
And you think I sit at home with a 2pac voodoo doll.
I agree, the rape charges against Pac were bull shit but I'm not here to discuss that I never mentioned it at all.
Not just that, but he fucked up, got locked up with a rape conviction
He was about to go to jail for rape.
What an insightful thread this has been to read... This has really made me think about the lack of humanitarians there are in hip hop. In fact many probably...cheat on their taxes, toss away recyclables, father children out of wedlock and or perpetuate violence. Maybe C. Delores Tucker was right after all This has got me thinking that maybe this could spinoff the start of a series of new threads."Let's be real about B-Legit for a minute" or "Let's be real about Coolio for a minute".Every thread would leave no stone unturned, exposing tax cheats, wife beaters, dope fiends, masons & deadbeat dads.Anyone who listens to _______ artist will be forced to re-evaluate who really has control of their heart & mind.Well I must go now, I have a stack of CD's to burn.Here's a suggestion for the next "Let's be real for a minute" thread.........MC Hammer
Tom... I want to know what you think. I was considering making Common and Talib Kweli my new role models. Because a couple of your friends on this thread suggested that they never got into trouble like Pac did. I was just wondering though, if their black nationalism in their lyrics might be an issue. Because I am a white male, and if I said Common and Talib Kweli are both good men and good rappers, it may mean I have an identity crisis or that I am fueled by "white guilt". So I just wanted to check with you first to see if you approved of the lifestyles of Common and Talib Kweli before I replaced Pac and made them my new hero's?
Brian, your so lost as a human being that it's actually depressing
