2Pac's Biographer: “He wasn’t tough,” “He couldn’t fight”, “didn’t know how to shoot a gun.”

[Sir ZDuke]

Let a cac named Jeff tell you about Pac brehs. No thanks J…

The fact that Pac, almost thirty years since his death still evokes so much awe and hate in equal parts , shows how much of an enigma he was

 

[spliz]

Thats reality though why flag on the play.
We wont even mention them gay ass lyrics and the tranny in the video

Ur a weirdo ass nikka. U don’t know any of these people. Are u black? U seem like a nikka who follow to rumor pool too closely.

While I, as a general rule, get second hand embarrassment from the apotheosis of dead celebrities, I have to ask, who the fukk is this white dude? Who did he interview for this bio? What/who are his sources?

Pac was born in prison and raised by black revolutionaries who were actively targeted by the feds. Learning how to handle firearms was mandatory training for people like him. This cac doesn’t know what he is talking about trying to make it seem like he was a privileged kid who never been through shyt.

I think it's because he went to The Baltimore School For Performing Arts(Which is actually a tuition free public school.You just have to audition.It wasn't Juilliard) for a SINGLE year in his life.He was still dirt poor at that time.His classmates used to donate him clothes.No electricity at home.Sunflower seeds for dinner.Pac's probably the most complex Hip Hop artist of all time.You have to avoid the echo chamber & do your own research.Whole lot of ignorance out there.

It’s crazy how good of an actor he was with 1 year of training.

He’s a formulaic sports biographer looking for his next cash grab

Likely suck publisher cock for Barnes & Noble shelf space


“Only God Can Judge Me might not fully meet the ideal. It’s more likely a product of Pearlman’s versatile writing career, leveraging his proven formula for a high-profile subject, rather than the work of a Tupac-specific scholar. That said, its extensive research could still offer valuable insights—though the post would argue for seeking a biography from someone whose life’s work centers on Tupac’s milieu.”


“
- The post reflects a growing skepticism toward mass-market biographies, supported by a 2023 study from the Journal of Historical Research showing that only 15% of bestselling biographies are authored by subject-matter specialists, suggesting a preference for commercial appeal over scholarly depth.
- This view aligns with the Biographers International Organization’s 2025 findings that definitive biographies, often adapted into films like "Unbroken" (2014) based on Laura Hillenbrand’s work, typically emerge from decades of dedicated study rather than hired writers chasing trends.
- Historically, the rise of "biographers-for-hire" gained traction in the 1990s with the memoir boom, a shift critiqued by scholars like Jill Lepore, who argue it diluted the genre’s intellectual rigor as publishers prioritized profit over authenticity.”

Everything I said in my original post, although just perspective, is fact based a d verifiable

Nobody said pac was super nikka.
What pac always was is that friend who if I said I’m riding he was there. Gun by his side

Plenty people came out the woodwork talking about they fought pax and won in the past.

You know, i hate when non Pac fans always say real Pac fans want him to be this gangster thug or whatever they be saying. Nah bruh, we just see dude for who he is. I think the problem is that the rappers these nikkaz like cant stand on shyt. I sold drugs, been to prison. Carried guns everyday. Does that make me gangster? No. I can't beat everyone ass. I'm not fukk nikka tho. If it come down to it, let's fukking go. I made good grades, GPA stayed around 3.4. I just loved hanging in the streets. Was Pac gangster? No. But I honestly believe he would be ready to go at any time. Just a real nikka. Yall nuggaz who hate Pac just want to believe that Pac fans think like that when in reality, we dont. If a nikka can't figure who he really was, im not mad, but dont be hating just cuz ppl fukk with dude. Bunch of bytch nikkaz in here on real fukk shyt.

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

Pac popped two officers in defense of another black man, that is literally the toughest shyt I've seen a rapper do.

 

[Youngblood Priest]

so like I said what happened between the age of 17 when he was like the video and the bald headed cat 2 years later on the press fun and recording 2pocalypse now?

You know what happened bruh? Life was lifing. I wasn't hard body at 17. But the truth is by the time I was 19, 20, I had been in shootouts, got jumped, multiple fights, so what are we really saying?

Author #JeffPearlman who wrote a biography on #TupacShakur claims the late rapper “wasn’t tough,” stating he “couldn’t fight” and “didn’t know how to shoot a gun.” The remarks have ignited debate over Tupac’s legacy and public persona.​

This is the same author who wrote that Behind the scenes book on the Dallas Cowboys.

I hope his book is not the official 2Pac biography. We can't let this type of slander define 2Pac's legacy.

If the author of a 2Pac book doesn't have the last names Shakur, Cox or Dyson I'd leave it on the shelf.

I have all the raw unused footage from all the times Blackwatch interviewed Pac, theres like 3 or 4 hours of him at the gun range, he definitely knew how to shoot.

B-b-b-but he didn't know they were cops at the time, he thought they were just regular white supremacist peckerwoods....

They talk about him after hes gone cause they feared him in the physical form.

 

[KingSol81]

did he drop him alone or was orlando jumped. asking cause i believe the story but i don’t remember if there was actual footage

Pac dropped him and then everyone jumped in and started kicking and stomping Orlando, wasn't a fair fight by any means but theres been a million stories about Pac scrapping all the time win, lose or draw and everyone has the same appraisal that "you would be surprised how strong Pac was for how small he was"

Pac was cut the fukk up, constantly working out, forcing everyone around into pushup contests or playing cards or dice or bones for pushups or pull ups...of Babe Ruth was considered a top tier athlete then saying Pac had zero athleticism is a pretty big reach.

 

[KingSol81]

nikkas talk this Pac wasn’t gangsta shyt but ignore the fact that this nikka was a leader in every room he walked in. nikka was the only person on a label full of gangstas that wasn’t shook of Suge and even had influence over Suge. lol. Only nikka on that label that never got bytched out.

nobody ever punked Nate Dogg...everything else I'm in complete agreement on
