[MoneyPowerRespect]

[2stepz_ahead]

niggas to busy thinking like marlo....that i dont give a fukk attitude is the death of alot.

being unpredictable is not cool....when i was young ...niggaz banded together to get rid of that type of problem after that..they went back to a respectable illegal shit...lol

I agree that it shows how lost the youth were/are from the very fact that Thuggin (thuggin is an effect not a cause by the way) is a lifestyle, but which one of the "laws" in this code lacks honor. I don't agree with selling poison to the people, but if you are going to shouldn't there be some sort of code of ethics to an unethical act, if that makes any sense. Like I heard him say in another interview speaking about the dealers "...at least give back to the communities you're raping"

What was dumb about it?

Remember, he was a "kid" when he died. He died maybe 2-3 years after writing this. How many brothers in their early 20's are even trying to organize and make major changes in the community?

But every code in this "law" is about giving a fuck. And can you really blame those who don't? It's not that easy to give a fuck these days... imo.

There is no honor in "slanging" my friend.......

 

[NeighborhoodNomad.]

I agree, but the will to survive is powerful. Im almost certain that selling dope wasn't plan a,b, or c. Which brings me back to the point that there needed to be a law or a code for thuggin in the first place, If that's the lifestyle/road you chose.

what's dumb is the fact he didn't think about his rules all the way thru

either he never was really involved in street shit for real, or he was so brand new that he didn't realize the naivete of those rules

so it's ok to sling, but not to kids and pregnant women? (#6 and #12)

well what about our other brothers and sisters we are supposed to be respecting? (#19) what qualifies them as being worthy of being served drugs vs. the others we should respect? LOL

how old does someone have to be before they are considered an old person who shouldn't be abused? obviously I got to check ID because there is an age limit on who I can sling to (#18)

and how do you enforce violence without it turning into an eye for an eye type situation?

what is the overall benefit of following these rules if shit still gon look the same in my community (ie. niggaz slinging everywhere)

and I'm not even gon address the snitching rules when anybody who has ever heard his catalog

has to note how much name dropping and subliminals he would speak on n his songs.......a lot of that shit shouldn't have been put on wax for mass consumption

 

[NeighborhoodNomad.]

I can't argue that you cant sell poison to someone you respect i.e. brothers and sisters and kids etc.

Tupac came up with those laws. Tupac tried to follow those laws. And now he is no longer with us. Thuggery is not good in any way shape or form. The thug persona that Tupac had in him put him on the path for a guaranteed early death.

Tupac is the perfect example of a black crime statistic. He consorted with gangs. He spend time in jail. And he got shot and killed before reaching the age of 30.

On top of all this, Tupac glamorized a lifestyle that he didn't even have. After Tupac died, his momma came out and proved that he was broke. She had records showing that Suge Knight owned his house and cars. She also had records showing that Tupac's jewelry was borrowed, and that Tupac was behind on some of the payments.

Tupac is a horrible role model. Nobody should be looking to him for leadership.

27. You will be set up by your own people eventually. Just like Jesus.

Actually Tupac evolved. Before he died he was no longer living "Thug Life". If you refer back to his interviews he said "Thug Life is like the twelfth grade, some people get left behind and some people graduate." Also his ideals for black Unity should not be undermined because he was not financially stable. May I remind you that Malcom X died without a penny in his pocket and a lot less wealthy than some other leaders of "The Nation" who shall remain nameless.

"Thuggery" as you so name it was not invented by Tupac nor did he claim to be its creator. He said "Thug Life" is a condition of certain individuals in our society and all he simply did was acknowledge it and bring it to the forefront and open the doors for discussion when elitist failed to address the woes and dregs of society that are born from the systems and institutions that are in place.

Tupac was a child born in prison who had a crack addicted mother who was at one time an activist to liberate blacks. He was raised around other politically motivated and some might say radical blacks and was educated in the arts. He used his art to show the distinctions and overwhelming differences from one class of society to the next.

He never meant for himself to be your child's role model. He only wanted Unity among blacks who come from the most desperate of situations. If you dont understand that then his music or message was never for you in the first place.

Damn, do you all even understand the acronym? The hate is the real issue...

2pac wasn't ALL about thuglife though. He spoke up on many political issues at the time like being against apartheid, building up communities on a positive level and made songs about uplifting women and children. 2pac wasn't a perfect man by any means but he promoted more good then bad overall. He was a victim of a cold world and bad environment, remember his mom was addicted to crack and he didn't have many role models when he grew up, like many of us. And regardless, he still made many positive songs and uplifted many people, including me through his music.

RIP 2pac Shakur, greatest rapper of all time
