Do you think his voice was strong enough to make changes in the country regarding police brutality and the killing of innocent blacks?

No different. Unfortunately, the artists don't control what's released, executives do.

The people, Black people have to stop fundin' white supremacy to the best of their ability.

Why does everybody act like if Pac was alive the whole world would be different. Hip hop was going to become what it was with or without him. He would have honestly flamed out like DMX because nikkas got tired of that 90s thug shiit. He would have had to reinvent himself. But really he probably would have gotten into more movies because he was a good actor and rap would have been secondary.

Still wish he was here though :sadcam:

Who knows?
Dude was only 25. Today he'd be 45.

People change a lot in 20 years.
Hell, I'm sure even Obama didn't see himself becoming what he became when he was that age.

I'm not talking about rapping
A lot of people looked up to him
I'm talking about like when killer Mike started talking about taking money out of white banks and putting it in black banks

Not different in the slightest. Guy was a rapper, not Jesus.
Nah, he was more than just a "rapper". Waaaaay more. That's why he's so highly regarded around the world. While far from perfect, dude had the potential to be an all time great leader. All these modern-day c00n rappers who y'all worship can learn a thing or 2 from dude:



Everybody wanna be Pac except when its time to REALLY speak up.

bro let me be honest.... Tupac was more popular but Public enemy have been more infuential

no matter how conscious brother 2pac was he wasnt the most conscious rapper or activist

others such as Chuck D, proffessor Griff, X clan, Poor righteous teachers ...... always been down for the cause and have never deviated...never deviated ......



and we still in the same shyt

As much as Pac loved speaking on real issues, he loved money just as much or maybe even more. And unfortunately in entertainment you can't make money unless you keep quiet or stay neutral. Pac was smart, he would have figured that out going into bigger movies. Maybe after he made a lot of money, but not early on.
