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

Another thing to be mindful of is that since Pac was essentially a West Coast artist, he had to sell the image of being hard, and that's why he slowly but surely, post-Strictly... he pushed this thug caricature image in his persona as well as his music.

I don't think that's undeniable; it doesn't take anything from him, or his artistic creativity, but it's very noticeable how he clearly switched up and adjusted due to the climate of Hip-Hop in the mid-'90s.

To be clear, none of this means he was a punk or anything, you don't have to be hood, street, etc to be tough, know how to fight, etc. I think what this guy might be saying is that the image and persona that Pac fans associate with him is an exaggeration of who he truly was as a person, as well as how he grew up.

This peckerwood is misinformed and being loud about it. We know for a fact Pac was a live wire, he stayed getting into scraps, we've seen him handle guns, we know how the Panther's move, we know he shot those off duty cops. Anybody giving anything this cac says credence knowing all that is going out of their way to hate on Pac.

I never seen grown men want a black man to be deplorable as much as they want Pac. His fans want him to be a big ignorant gangster lol

I've watched almost every 2pac biopic and documentary.

Whether he could fight or not, he was always in fights so he was no coward. He rolled with a strap and had the heart of a warrior. This is heavily documented. In fact one of which 2pac was busting guns at a shooting range and if you wondering did he hit the mark? He was on target. Same clip as below but with shots gone off.



This caucasian brother like so many hate 2pac because they hate what he stood for, his content and the name of his second album :russ:


I really wish I loved my favorite rapper as much as y'all loved Tupac.

i honestly don't even know what coli "brehs" even mean when they use terms like hood n street

but as a young child he was an assistant in Mtulu's underground drug treatment center. In the brutal 1970s new york conditions he would calm down and sooth dope sick throwaways of society before they got their acupressure/acupuncture treatment

that "hood" shyt wasnt a performance... those is literally the type of people he was raised around

That one doc said Pac would dive to the ground and start kicking in the air :russ:


Thats not someone who can fight brehs
That was Thug Angel … did any of those guys even know him? :pachaha:

That documentary was filmed on a home video camera, had a cover that sold because it was stylized like R U Still Down

One of the first documentaries right after his death

Any of those guys still around … why hasn’t Art of Dialogue got in touch :mjlol:
