Serious question? He was warned by Big and Tysin to not associate with the cats he was dealing with and got robbed shot and locked up for being hardheaded. He gets out and wants to become a gang member at 24 years old and is out here scrapping like the underlings. This dude helped beat up Sam Sneed over East Coast cats, but his last interview alive he was championing Death Row East and was from the East. He was there trying to coax Mark Bell out of Puffy and his families' address, He threatened all these people but did nothing..I respect his iconic stature, but he had alot of buffoonish ways and thats the primary reason hes not here..
Why is 2Pac so revered for being a victim??

gotta remember the dude was a wild guy and still very young. Lookin at his interview when he was 17 he looks and sounds pretty feminine. So I guess his 20s was a way to make up for it with the hyper masculinity.
I also put the huge blame on him for igniting the flames of East vs. West. I'm gonna say what we all think and thats if Tupac chilled out during that time him and Biggie would still be alive. But he became a very hostile person at that time. You can hear the shift in his music and how he went from talking about positivity and unity to saying fukk Biggie, Mobb Deep, and Nas.
Ultimately, to me none of that matters to Tupac's overall legacy. I don't see him as a soldier as in the simpleton definition of being a thugged out guy who killed people. I see him as a soldier as someone who had heart and tried to make a change and empower people. His real strength was in his heart and ultimately it was that heart that got him killed, unfortuantely.

I'm a huge Pac fan, but I never looked at him as a victim. He is a grown man.
I consider people who are helpless as victims. Pac was far from helpless, just wreckless. Most people see as that before they see him as helpless.
