Short was around real killers and shiesty niccas... he knew what comes behind all the shyt Pac was enamored with. That wild shyt Pac wanted to imitate around Oakland niccas would've put him and Short in danger.
Pac would've gotten killed in Oakland early on being on that studio gangster shyt...and this is coming from somebody who thinks Pac is the GOAT.

There's wisdom because the Bay and Oakland in particular is a whole 'nother world from what you usually associate Cali with.
Oakland has much more in common with a city like Detroit than LA...hustling, pimping and cutthroat ass niccas.
Pac was raps first crash test dummy
And we all know how much u nikkas love crashouts
From Pac to Fif to Shmurda to Von to Durk n Youngboy
America loves a good crashout
Also the fame aspect that was brought up was a great point
Pac had a level of fame that brought the goons and fukkery to him. Highly doubt he was even looking for it.
No different than gangstas, hoodlums and them Big U's coming around Justin Beiber n Chris Brown
When you on that level of fame shyt jus hit different. Pac was a movie star at the same time too. All in the 90s at that.
It all came to him too fast. The money the women the envy jealousy the streets
It was prolly all overwhelming for a early 20yr old black man still finding himself

Pac had also gotten into that mess with former friends he lived around in Marin City, which resulted in a little kid being killed by a stray bullet from a gun registered to Pac (his brother Mopreme probably fired the gun)
Shootouts in Atlanta with off duty cops…the Quad Studios attack…by most accounts he seemed pretty reckless

That's because they know first hand how treacherous that bytch is. You'd be stupid to play with fire like that.
Pac was naive, but for good reason. If you listen to him and Monster Kody speak he laid it out perfectly.
He was a revolutionary without a revolution. He came from that background, which had the street elements baked into it but not at the forefront. So his idea is to connect to the streets from the revolutionary space, where there is some semblence of honor, purpose, creativity and integrate some of those panther like principals into the streets, Thug Lyfe, peace treaties, political movements ect.
That was always going to be at the core of his worldview, as he navigated the streets which was always going to leave him open
IMO he had the right idea, but coming up how he did in a much more closely connected community made him naive to the fact that street nikkas didn't really care about that shyt. They not thinking about you as a black man when they dealing with you on average. That's why he looked for/to people like Kody because were immersed in the streets but smart/conscious enough to pivot because that's what actually needs to happen.
Addressing black people without any inroads to the streets, where the bulk of the problems are happening at, where the majority of the people are that need help and a shift in mindset is something he talked about remedying in some of his speeches.
