Really? When's the last time you seen Tupac?
what does your comment have to do with his?
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.
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...
Speak on it.
