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?
Coulda just started drinking?
For a lotta kids that age it’d be them
Going out to college for the first year

Him displaced from mother, transplanted to new coast, immersed in touring lifestyle with DU

All of the personal things I mentioned in relation to his career

And Bay Area people will readily tell you that they take entire credit for your newfound turned out character 3 months after arrival. Ask any Bay Area person


What are you insinuating that he masterfully devised a role to be the first method actor in recorded music industry who just always stayed in character? Or are you saying his label cast him to play that role … honestly a person who might have an answer to these questions would be his original A&R and now estate manager Tom Walley

Stop it man
Drinking doesn't change your personality
He didn't go to college.
He had been displaced from his mother his whole life
You mentioned shyt that doesn't even fit the 17 to 19 year old change in his life.

Insinuating. No.
I'm out right stating Tupac the gangster/thug personoa was 100% contrieved and not the real man. the 17 year old relazing and talking is the real tupac, mannerisms and all.

no it doesnt.
Just like guess what, Ice Cube wasn't a gangbanger or killer. Wow
LL Cool J is the ladies man, but he was getting his back blown out by bambatta.

Stage personoas are a real thing in entertainment.
Alice Cooper isn't a evil satan worshiper, he is a openly christian man who doesn't do drugs and loves to golf.

No I'm just not ignorant to the reality of who showbiz is, its all image.
Plies isn't a ignorant gangster rapper who can barely speak english. He is a college educated brother who speaks very properly but had to portray an image to be able to make a career.

The real issue is why do black men have to play the characters to be called "real" when we all know the majority of us aren't gangbanging drug dealers or street folks at all.

Right! Everything is so black and white with these guys. As if humans are one dimensional and not complex beings. A lot of the guys on here sound like white folks or suburban dudes who learn about the “hood” from hearsay or Vlad interviews. Idk. They have these negative stereotypes of people from the ghetto being ignorant brutes or something so they question dudes like Pac who are intelligent, multifaceted, who defy those negative imagery. So, dudes like him have to be fake, studio gangsters, etc.
kid I went to highschool with grew up in the suburbs had good grades was into comics and video games and also sold drugs, had a crew and had multiple bodies on him and got locked up at 19 for life.

people have multiple sides to them. people can be multiple things
