Too Short looks like a grown baby these days. It seems like he was very mature on how to move tho. Some people never make it to the point where they can peep game and learn how to move smarter but that's probably why he is still around while so many others aren't

I feel that Tupac just should have stayed in the studio or touring at the time before the first shooting at Quad Studios.

On another note, I think these podcast videos reacting to original content and profiting off original content is theivary.

Rappers like Too Short - when they speak, they're levels above ALL podcasters.

Gotta understand how young PAC was.

He was an artsy kid that had a militant mother and militant father figures in the crib.

Then he goes to jail, gets shot, gets falsely accused, rape charges, shot cops, etc. Baltimore, NY, LA, Oakland, ATL. Pac was out there.

He got enticed by the G lifestyle and felt that he lived it so he was gonna be a part of it. He just didn’t know how to move the way other Gs moved.

I know squares that get their first gun, they wanna show me and wave it everywhere with the safety off :snoop: . I’m happy they’re armed but that ain’t how you supposed to operate. Same with Pac.

Pac was very naive about the streets. Short saw how real gangsters would take advantage of that naïveté and he didn’t want to facilitate that

Pac hung wit some real true gangstas in the Bay. He was always wit Gov. Short didn’t really care for Pac that’s all. It’s documented. But to say naive and all that Pac just didn’t give af and was super ambitious. None of the other nikkas could keep up wit him. Short Cube Snoop Ice T will never say nothing good about Pac cuz they didn’t like him and how he blew up over them not to mention his shyt talking. But a lot of nikkas from the West messed wit him too.

not meat riding pac but all these dudes have some "elder" game to say all the time

nobody was with Pac in ATL etc
and nobody besides maybe Ice Cube was as famous as 2pac at a point

fame fukks up alot of shyt when you got the top spot in entertainment and even then Cube got fukked up left and right and look at how it changed him in this era

short never was huge in a pop sense, he never had shyt to worry about
pac is an icon and stuck in the mainstream...its not comparable

if you dont know why 2pac was a target, then you dont understand why Jordan, Kobe, Lebron are targets. Its more profitable to get you out the way for everyone else or to latch on and gain fame through your reaction. Id go even further and even say Biggie avoided it, but Diddy latched on and fukked with Pac because he knew it would draw more $$$ and he could blame Pac and Big for it.

i don't see how tupac was naive with what already happened
i just don't think he gave a fukk and saw that element as a necessary evil for what he was trying to achieve
Sounds like naiveté :manny:

Breh was in a rough spot at the time and hindsight is 20/20. But punching Orlando was a misstep he should've known better than to make. If he had been more level headed, would probably still be alive :francis:

He should have paid attention to his elders. Instead he got himself himself shot in NYC and killed in LA because he didn’t understand the streets. He also got Big killed.

The reason Cube, Short and Ice T can talk the way they do is cause they were his elders not his stans. He probably would have got himself killed in Atlanta too, had he stayed here for an extended period of time.
