But they didn't issue threats. 2Pac got sued because someone shot a cop and they said Pac influenced him.
I really don't want to go back and forth on here cause I think it is silly and it seems you are on a bit of gotcha moment with Corey. Which I don't understand why you have an issue with him laying low cause it is hot. Especially when your ass did the same thing in the Colosseum when your warriors got they asses kicked in the finals and you hid for a week. So I would think from personal experience you would understand.
Anyway I am old enough to know about the incident when that dude was pulled over by a cop and shot him. The dude then blamed it on listening to tupac CD strictly for my N-words. So it was some bull and a cop out.
That still has nothing to do with what I said about the government having tabs on any black person that has influence and a major following.
Take James Brown for example. That dude was also under surveillance by the government. He was never militant, but his music like many other black R & B/funk singers music was the back drop of the civil rights movement (many of those other singers were under surveillance as well).
James Brown was also the same dude who helped stopped Boston riots after MLK was killed. He even worked with Lyndon Johnson to entertain the troops in Vietnam.
Even doing all of this the Government had surveillance on him. At the time James Brown owned multiple radio stations and wanted to help be a symbol of black achievement. Many called him the most important black man in America (after the death of MLK).
Supposedly Nixon met with James Brown and told him don't get too big and watch yourself. Meaning that Mr. brown needed to stay in his lane and don't go outside of being just a entertainer.
Hell dude even Bill Cosby who had a clean background back in the day was under surveillance by the FBI in the late 60s early 70s.
