What Do You Think of Tupac "2pac" Shakur?

He died 10 years ago today (Sept. 13).


I'm interested in knowing what the general opinion of him is. Do you think he had a positive or negative effect on society?

Good beats. Shitty message.

Play with fire and you get burnt...

 

Do you even know what his message was besides what you saw on MTV

 

I've NEVER watched MTV. I don't even OWN a TV.

I do own several of his old albums though.

Don't ASSume so much.

 

I listened to everything he had. Probably one of the few rappers I can stand.

I think the man was an example of what not to do, at best. Couldn't listen too long or I probably would killed myself. But vocally, it's very hard for me to call rap an art, and I'll give him credit there....he had a talent and it was hypnontizing.

 

Sounds like a solid message to me.

 

I don't know how you can say that... this man alone has touched the lives of millions of youths in a positive way.

Hilarious. So typical. You take one song and pretend it summarizes an entire person. What made tupac so special was that he never tried to hide his defects, his mistakes.. or his emotions.

I suppose these have no meaning behind them either?

 

I have to admit yo-yo, your name is quite fitting.

 

Ah yes.. when you have no desire to defend your distorted views you simply resort to attacking me. You'd make a great politician

 

Would I? Ahh thanks Yo-Yo.

 

Here's something most people probably don't know....

 

OK kiddies, today we're going to learn that it's OK to call each other ni**a's, threaten each other with AK's, talk smack about anyone in authority, use profanity in anything you say, take the law into your own hands and shoot cops, and most importantly, how to get shot and killed.

Who wants to start us off by reading the first paragraph?

 

You know if the police had brutally beat me over jaywalking I don't think I'd have very many positive things to say about them either. If I was a black man that caught two off duty racists police beating another black man, I'd probably stand up for him too.

It's becoming apparent zman, that you think all poor black men should lay down and die in the ghetto rather than struggle to survive and get out. Pat yourself on the back big guy

 

Race has nothing to do with it bouncy. What you are advocating is taking law into your own hands and "busting a cap" into a cops ass.

Think for second.

 

I just think it is amazing he died 10 years ago and is still releasing albums

 

Isn't it though? I hope I'm still here selling links 10 years after I'm gone.

 

I know it's hard for you to imagine, but the law doesn't always work, for youths and black men especially...when racist cops are harrassing a black man nothing happens to them (rodney king ring a bell?). They both got what they deserved and the simple fact that he was never charged for the shooting pretty much proves it. You're not getting any sympathy for racist pigs from me.

 

Don't kid yourself... what they've done to his music for the last few years is a complete disgrace.

 

OK, bouncy. Baby steps.

Is it OK, in your eyes, to take the law into your own hands and shoot a police officer?

YES

or

NO

It is a closed ended question.

Waiting...

 

OH, and you haven't addressed this post.
