this is a pretty good book. The first thing he hit us off with was the Brenda's baby Davonn Hodge. I know it was on websites a week or so ago, but I didn't hear about it until I read this book. Like Staci Robinson's book, it's informative and well-researched. A lot of shyt I didn't know about. I saw an interview yesterday about the author saying Easy Mo Bee just avoiding the rape case because he didn't want to pay for parking. I know that's in the book later. To the 2pac groupies reading this, your hero, like any other people, does have a side that was most likely never told. I'm not saying 2pac was gay, because I don't believe that, but certain things never came out. Just like Malcolm X. In his autobiography, he didn't mention that him and one of his brothers was the reason his mother got sent to an insane asylum because they kept stealing money from her in their teens. It doesn't diminish all that Malcolm did later in life, but it's a part of his history..
What does that mean? :ohhh:

I take it you are drawing this half reference from The Dead Are Arising: The Life of Malcolm X by Les Payne

Louise was a beseiged isolated foreign widow maneuvering extreme depression and post depression conditions with a large brood of children . Imagine moving to another nation having children and your spouse gets murdered. Add being socially alienated due to the sociopolitical line you pushing with effectiveness

She was subjected to all sorts displacements violence and surveillance even to the extreme of having white supremacist case workers attack her for daring to trying to find romance and having another child after her husband passed

I can keep going and going but for the sake of brevity ill stop.

To reduce her getting submitted to an insane asylum because of them stealing her money is ridiculous and unacceptable. There was so much shyt going on

Framing and context is paramount. These half truths tactical incompletions and editorial decisions run rife through all these accounts. So be wary keep reading and develop the ability to read through bullshyt

that definitely contributed. To say it didn't and create a foundation for a woman with no husband and caring for children with no money, would be asinine or outright stupid.

You didn't say that it contributed you said it was the cause. Those are dramatically different claims of great consequence

That's the crazy part about it. His stans love pushing and supporting the idea of him being this crazy, thugged out, loud, super wild and crazy guy, when at his core, that was never truly him.

To me, I like to believe that Pac was a man of many faces, somewhat confused, and conflicted about who he was as a man, or expected to be, but also concerned about how his image was perceived by the public, especially among fans.

That's why he was all over the place; sometimes he wanted to be a voice of Black Consciousness, but then at the same time he wanted to play the thug or gangsta, among other things. It's clear that later in his career, he became too indulged in keeping up his thug/gangsta persona, and the people around him weren't of any help because just like a lot of his fans, they too supported him being this character, and it wound up costing him his life.


So you go from saying Pac was many things. To choosing to decide on your own that one of those parts "wasnt really him":mjlol:

We have plenty of interviews of Pac speaking for himself,and eye witness accounts that give Pac fans a pretty clear view of what he was, As well as his positives and negatives.

Plus your acting like you dont know this cracka is framing it as though Pac was a fraud and phony. Something that is generally looked down on across the board in the hiphop community. Yet you wanna act like this is exclusive to Pac fans smh. Anybody calling out Jay,Nas,Big,Cube for their actions,history or music not matching up,are liable to get rebuttals from fans who say different. And those fans have way less info about those nikkas than we have on Pac.

Saying he couldnt fight? Possibly true. But he definitely would fight which means he was tough. Not to mention the son of a Panther smh. Could he shoot? We have video evidence that says he was a decent shot unless this cac is Clint Eastwood himself.


Pac explained who he was and what most "thugs" are very well. He talked about his drug and alcohol abuse,which many of our youth fall victim too. And he said he was sensitive,and his sensitive side would blow up his hard side. If most of thr people considered thugs went to therapy, this would be the root of most of their behavior. Only reason it may seem any different is because they may not be eloquent or vulnerable enough to express it. But most "thugs" are just sensitive dudes who also abuse drugs and alchohol. Folks wanna bash Pac for being much more than that,while also being that


So essentially YOUR the one who would rather limit Pac to being a mindless thug. Because it would make it easier for you to comprehend a complex well rounded individual. Dont put thet on Pac fans:respect:

I'm about 150 pages in. The crossdressing thing was just something in his acting class.

He did apparently briefly kiss a gay dude on a dare but the gay dude said their lips "brushed." Most of us straight guys probably wouldn't do that but the book talks a lot about how he was addicted to being the center of attention. Then the gay dude said he thought Tupac might be bi because Tupac looked at him once and the gay guy "felt something"

Pac doesn't have key defenders in the industry which is why people go bat for him. And people need to wake up because don't think they won't try this with Biggie now that Violetta is gone and Diddy is tarnished.


Notice how all of these pecker woods love to tie in gay shyt to deceased black icons. They did it with Malcolm X,.


They'll use nikkas like Wack100, Charleston white, Akademiks as well to wheel black people into believing the lie the longer it goes unchallenged.

And EDI a whole bytch ass nikka for actually bringing this CAC on his platform and entertaining him. Young Noble and Fatal would never.
