Old pic surfaces of 15 year old Pac speaking in a B-More community meeting about drugs

[WhoShotCha]

When you look at what he was able to accomplish in the community politically and socially, then making classic movies in Hollywood, and then was the biggest act in hip hop. All of this in a very small window of time which also includes time away healing from getting shot and also going to prison. His star shined the brightest for sure. It's actually disrespectful to look at Pac as just the GOAT rapper.

One of my favorite artists, but all that. Just to join a gang in his 20s. Super corny.

I think after his first shot, he felt betrayed when he showed them love and got angry and it def changed him. I think he needed protection but sadly, he went over his head with LA gang bang shyt especially when he touched a crip dude in Vegas. At the same time, you have to blame Suge, who brought unnecessary gangsta shyt around his label and fed Pac too much stupid shyt. Which is why Dre left.

Had DU not taken Pac in he was gon become the national spokesman for the New Afrikan Party at under 21 years old. Fate is crazy when you think about it.

I think this is from around the time when he was a member of a communist party. He lived a crazy life in such a small amount of time.

Dude is definitely one of the most impactful/influencal folks to die at 25 in the modern era

He accomplished A LOT in his short life and STILL arguably didn't live up to his potential

all that potential dashed out in the streets*

 

[bigde09]

People don't talk about Afeni's drug use and her lying to him about his dad dying and how much that fukkked Pac up

If you can't trust moms, who can you trust? Pac needed therapy more than anything

rip to the GOAT

He grew up in the black power movement, those dudes where gangsters who adopted revolutionary thought. Street gangs are basically the closest thing to how he grew up with organized young black men willing to kill and die. I believe he thought he could mix the antidote in with the poison not knowing how slimed out the streets really are.
