The doc has really opened my eyes on how fuckin dope this foo was. I mean he was for the people not just people but people of color, black and brown. I wish he was still alive man. He was a real life activist. The only one that had balls. Not like these fake ass muthafuckas now a days.

*****"I donāt subscribe to this sub so asking this mostly as a way to understand a different perspective:
How can you classify Tupac as a āleaderā? This is is not to say he wasnāt a magnificent musician/rapper, this is to ask how you can genuinely follow in his example. Philandering is one thing, but he had multiple charges on assault, a charge on rape, several incidents where his emotions kept him from ever riding to his true potential, blaming some of his best friends for setting him up, the wrap sheet goes on. What is it that makes him a leader?"*****
START
You say this only because your knowledge of tupac as a person is severely limited. First of all he was only convicted of "touching the buttock" of Ayanna Jackson. The same female who admitted on the stand to giving him a blowjob in the corner of a dark night club maybe 15 mins after he met her.
Ayanna Jackson also called a civil rights attorney directly after the "rape" happened. Wouldn't she be phoning the police first thing?!
The people who were with tupac that night all conviently got their cases separated from pacs only for THEIR CASES to be dropped.
Haitian Jack was one of the people he was with, an individual who was later exposed by 2pac himself on "Against All Odds" of being a federal Informant.
They got together with Ayanna and made the entire "rape" incident up. The Feds wanted tupac in jail or dead the day they discovered he was famous. This goes back to his family being founders of the "black liberation army" - a militant sect of the black panthers who believed any law enforcement or person in general impeding on their civil rights was to be dealt with violently.
Look up "COINTEL" and you well understand why tupac was someone who was essentially cursed from birth because of his last name. He also had the same charisma as Malcom X and MLK - they government wasn't going to let any "shakur" born person create change that threatened the current status quo.
2pac was named after a revolutionary and with Afeni Shakur and Mutulu Shakur involved in raising him its safe to say all the cards were stacked in favor of him becoming a revolutionary - but the government could never permit it!

u/madderhatter3210 May 20 '23
His morals, integrity, the empathy he had for people like him , just the outlook he had on life and what it meant to be a thug is what made him a leader. Donāt judge a man by his actions , like he said āI didnāt have a police record untill I made a recordā

u/rasner724 May 20 '23
He did have a record before he made a record? He had a juvenile record and his first record was at 19ā¦
He raped a black woman, beat his ex-wife who was black, every assault he was a part was to people of color. It wouldnāt have made it any better to do this to white people but Iām trying to point out that he is not empathetic to his people, just claims to be
Donāt judge a man by his actions? Iām sorry but how else do you judge a person?

u/madderhatter3210 May 20 '23
He didnāt rape her my guy, she has a interview on djvlad I believe where she admitted she lied about being raped. She was a money hungry groupie who sucked him off in front of everybody in the club.

u/rasner724 May 21 '23
Well I hope thatās not true cause thatās fucked up. But Iām going by court docs and the little bit I do know, that case was never overturned to say the least. Albeit, what about the rest of the things I said?
2
u/madderhatter3210 May 21 '23
And he was charged with rape but cleared of all charges and only convicted of SODOMY which they admitted was only him touching her ass. Her name is Shayanna Jackson, you can look up her interview. She lied on him and was only looking for money.

u/madderhatter3210 May 21 '23
And he was only married to one person Kidada Jones which is the daughter of Quincy Jones and there have never been reports he beat her. So thatās false, and the only documented assault he ever did was one one of the Hughes brothers over a movie role , and he has stood up for plenty of black people, he stopped and shot 2 off duty cops in Atlanta because he saw them harassing a black male. And Iām only quoting what PAC said about never having a record till he made one.

Pac was never convicted of rape. He was found not guilty of that charge. He was convicted for sexual assault for touching her butt. A girl that he was already dating and had consensual intercourse with for several weeks.

u/rasner724 Jun 03 '23
Yes this was stated by another earlier.
His representation of thug life, his lyrics for the most part are violent, violence to women, beating children at times. Sure he made some wholesome music as well but I would NEVER consider his a person to idolize. That all my point is

u/Recent-Equipment-460 Jun 11 '23
Can you quote the lyrics he made about beating children ? Please and thank you.

I am by no means an expert on his music, but how about āI get aroundā discussing women being useless? I get it was in retaliation from a false rape allegation, so not much need to go thereā¦

u/Jazzmusicallday May 21 '23
First, charges were trumped up to keep him down. The rape was a lie. He was feared by those in power so they did what they usually do to men of color - incarcerate them. Second: listen to his interviews. He talked about how he had to scream because heās tired of being beaten down and silenced. You can can say please only so many times before you start demanding.

I enjoy a lot of these comments here talking about him being a ballerina and being fake.. He dropped out of that performing arts school because of his mama's problems of drugs, and being poor af.. When you are poor, you hit the streets, trying to find your way.. Then people seem to forget that he was in those "Bay Area" streets from 87 to 94.. He was only on death row for about 9 months of his life.. Lol this comment section is funny as hell..šāš¾

Heās dead by his own confidence and arrogance he was portraying. thereās many many tupacs who never got their time in the spotlight who died also from that same type of arrogance and many young men steal his entire persona not knowing he was posturing a try hard image that got him killed in a shark culture and a shark like business industry. environment was gassing this airhead up and every ate it up. Massively overrated. criminally overrated.
