If you’re past college age (and even then that’s pushing it) viewing Tupac as anything other than a breh who made great music, your father failed you 
Can we put to rest this c00nish notion that JFK and RFK got "assassinated" but 2pac "just got shot"?

Idk bout this one, he literally knew it could been some reprocussion for jumping somebody. If you compare that to some dude not liking jfks policies so be it he was assassinated

Pac didn’t die over any militant revolutionary shyt like his fans want to believe. If he hadn’t swung on Orlando that night then he not had been shot.

And nobody in this thread said otherwise so you're really just c00ning for no reason. Ol' Not the Kennedys! Why couldn't it have been a black rapper instead! ass poster.If you’re past college age (and even then that’s pushing it) viewing Tupac as anything other than a breh who made great music, your father failed you
The point is not to make Pac's murder out to be some political hit. The point is to point out that the JFK murder wasn't that either and not being able to admit that (like Chris Rock and the poster quoted above) is a white perspective and coming from black men a c00nish attitude. It comes from being taught to think of powerful white men as more important than black men or politicians more important than artists.
Ironically, JFK doesn't really have current relevance like that. He has a legacy (shrouded in mythology). His impact on society rapidly declined when he stopped having power. Nobody's bumping his old speeches like that. He wasn't some great visionary, just a politician. He doesn't really continue adding value to society the way a rapper can through his art. JFK's message is less relevant to today's society than Pac's. Only a certain kind of poster catches feelings over that realization.
wow op didn't even get a pity dap for his post

If you google John Lennon assassination, everything that comes up is “The Murder Of John Lennon”.
It doesn’t come up as assassination. That word is reserved for political leaders, and royalty, not entertainers.
Even on history.com, this is the title of the video:
John Lennon is Shot

nikkas think Pac was more than just a rapper who tried to hard to be someone he wasn't
nikkas really put Pac up there with Malcolm X on here 
nikka it's literally textbook example of assassination, Pac got killed on some regular hood nikka shyt
Breh I already posted an article from the NY Post calling John Lennon's murder an "assassination" in the title.
And I didn't look very hard either. You can find the word used for many murders that weren't political like that.
What a try hard post in a try hard thread, low key posts like this come off as CACs trying to blend in with how they perceive black people to think.And nobody in this thread said otherwise so you're really just c00ning for no reason.

I couldn’t give less of a fukk about the Kennedys, never said that I did.
But, grown men acting as if Tupac was the reincarnation of Malcolm X or MLK is never not cringeworthy to me.
