The motherfucker grew up goin to a fuckin white ass private school. He even said his whole Thug Life phrase did not mean a thug like a gangsta, but a person that grew up in the ghetto and didnt have shit (Which he said white people portrayed them as Thugs). He grew up around dealers and gangstas but he wasnt one of them. Oh and from what I've heard from Nas, he aint close to Pac. By the way do you happen to be caucasian?[/quote]didint say he was, but did he not promote through alot of his grudges the same principals.... things like Hit em up... those are why hes dead. the last thing... does it matter? ha ha i knew someone was going to bring in race... which is mind you, pathetic.[/quote]I dont even need you to answer that, I can just tell you are cuz you are like "OMG hes a gangster because he cusses alot and disses!"[/quote]1.) put words in my mouth why dont you2.) again, never said he was... said he promoted the image3.) have yet to hear a reason hes dead from you, if he didint egg it on himself at all4.) come on, even you have to understand something like hit em up isint doing much to protect yourself5.) why bring in race? are you that pathetically retarded? that sterotypical? do you assume since you are black you automatically know more about rap kool aid and fired chicken than me? I love Rap, and kool aid, but i hate chicken. 6.) Tupac Shakur was far from God, maybe you will learn that when you grow up a bit7.) listen to more nas8.) I must repeat, I havnt once said tupac was in a gang, was a gangster, or deserved to die9.)10.) nine and 10 are just to make it go up to 10[/quote]He died cuz he helped jumped this guy that Suge and his homies did. The guy later caught up to him at a stoplight. Thats why.Hit em up is a diss song, he talked shit so what? It wasnt even Biggie or Puffy that killed him.First I am not black, actually brown. But I only asked if you were white is cuz about 90% of white people do not know shit about gang life, it had nothin to do with rap but how you were sayin his songs were sayin "Oh be a thug thats the best thing you can be in the world". Didnt say he was but damn I never heard anyone that has put out such songs that make you think than his do. Maybe, I like him and all but wouldnt say he was close to Pac. But you said his songs promoted the message that bein a gansta is the way to be.
