I'm guessing he is not alive. Gangster rappers live to show off their money and women, why would he trade that life for living like someone in the witness protection program, or even worse. Although he was a revolutionary musical artist, he was not above hanging with people who would eventually get him killed.

Idk bout that, when Pac was in prison he said it killed his creativity and he couldn't write anything. Maybe TI will have better luck, what is he gettin locked up for? I heard it was on illegal weapons charges.

Does this bother you that much that you have to spend time bashing it??
Hate my selfishness, Hate my lies, Hate my infidelity, Hate the fact that my high-powered attorneys got me off and humiliated my accuser when I was charged with rape. And hate that I'm loved, because I can shoot a ball.

Does it bother me? yes

How long can people be allowed to just blindly flock like sheep to members of society who promote criminal behavior.

Enjoy the music, fine, but when people glorify behavior that is detrimental to society it also promotes that behavior. I would like to feel safe driving the streets with my family.

Note: I spend a considerable amount of time in large metropolitan areas.

If you listen to some of Pac's songs he didn't really enjoy the limelight all that much, he talked about how his time had passed, how much his life had caught up to him, he rapped about getting out of the spotlight and leading to a more quite life. But anyways, Tupac is dead and will always be a LIVING legend.

More lyrics from Thugz Mansion, it speaks for itself:

"A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind
So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times
I once contemplated suicide, and woulda tried
But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes
No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble
Not knowin it's hard to carry on when no one loves you
Picture me inside the misery of poverty
No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived
Prayin hard for better days, promise to hold on
Me and my dawgs ain't have a choice but to roll on"

Made it further in life?? What are you using as a measuring stick? I am a happy law biding productive citizen and he was (meaning he is dead) gangster who promoted drug use and violence. I am going to say I am way ahead.

Tupac never promoted anything, all he did was tell about what life was like for him growing up, and from where he came from compared to where you came from, which was probably a life where you were pampered and spoiled, I'd say he definately made it farther than you...heck he made it farther than i would have had i been put in his position.

Sounds like glorifying gang activity to me.

Let's see when I held that 9, which was more than likely an illegally obtained weapon.

People leave poverty stricken environments everyday doing the right thing. Without gangs without crime. That is what is impressive.

it could have very ezily been a legally obtained weapon...tupac wasnt gang affiliated as far as i can remember not a blood or crip or nethin and he wuznt a black panther and since both his parents were that is pretty impressive...i think he wuz tryin to get out of the gang activities and stuff...listen to heaven got a ghetto or dear mama and tell me he wuz a bad person then

black panthers were originally formed to fight for Civil Rights. However wel intentioned , they went about it in a violent manner. Many who wre members were later productive members of society. A few gravitated toward gang type activity. I would be proud of that affiliation if it were related to the former.

Didn't someone early ask if I knew any rappers who weren't gang memebers? I am not a music lover and couldn't name artists from any genre. Are rappers gang members?

Here is what gangs do, in a nut shell. They get stupid people to do dangerous things which also involve making a profit (usually by taking something that doesn't belong to them or by selling something that is illegal). For the most part the guys getting rich don't give a crap one way or another about the stupid people as long as it doesn't lead to them going to jail or getting killed. If the stupid people die no big deal, if someone OD's no big deal, if they sell stuff that kills someone, so what. If someone gets killed while taking stuff so what. As long as they get the $$$ in the end. Thus not, I repeat NOT a a group of people who "care" for each other.

wow...nice stereotype. a gang is a group of people who are always together. if somebody attacks one member either verbally or physically, the other members step up and support him and have his back. you even see it on this site. one kid gets bashes and other kid comes on to back him up. you dont have to carry a gun or a knife at all times just to be in a gang....

1. a group of persons working together; squad; shift
2. a group of youngsters or adolescents who associate closely, often exclusively, for social reasons
3. a group of people with compatible tastes or mutual interests who gather together for social reasons

Nice use the dictionary. :roll:

If someone is beating up my friend I would help him, that in no way makes us members of a gang. Time to update your dictionary. So why on God's green earth would police dept. across the country set up gang task forces. That may have been the most suburban middle class response I have ever heard.

Gang activity in many places (TC) is in and of itself illegal. Why are gang members physically or verbally attacking each other? Because an opportunity to make money is at stake. Remove the money and gangs disappear. There are better ways to live.

you obviously didnt understand one thing i said. are the people your talking about gangs...yea. is that the only type of gang...no. a gang in general is a group of people, just because some gangs go around shooting and fighting each other doesnt mean thats all a gang is. basketball team = gang. 6 people on a couch = gang. crips and bloods = gangs.

o yea that dictionary that needs to be updated is dictionary.com so i think its pretty current and i only used it to give you definitions your too ignorant to see yourself
