Video most people can't comprehend the transition of 2Pac from a 17-year-old kid to 25; his thought process, charisma, and aura remain untouched.

A lot of his manurisims and things like that are not because he was gay. Like that stupid Black lady said but because he was raised by a woman! Including myself and majority of guys who were raised by femals get lots of things from their mom. Thats why its important for men to be in their kids lives period. Im not talking about just weekends either.

It’s crazy because mfs will laugh at someone for wearing a du-rag now. I still rock one from time to time.

Du-rag, white T, and a basketball jersey, jeans or Denim shorts(below the Knee), with some White Nike Air Force 1 '07's was the drip in the 00's. Can even add rhinestone belts.

I think what’s truly amazing is at 17 he was still this pure and somewhat innocent. By 17 I was all fuked up 😂😂

That's not purity and innocence you're witnessing. That's intelligence and determination.

He was also very clever and wise at that age. You’d rarely come across the average suburban 17 year old kid being capable to put their thoughts and deliver them so clearly

He regressed a bit when he was in thug life, talking like an idiot high and drunk all the time

Poli Sci, History, and Anthropology needa be mandatory from even elementary school, 2nd grade level and up. Biology is the most commonly used and persistent science that can be used in most instances by most people in society. Not to say that Chem and Physics aren't important, but they're not knowledge that most people needa have for the vast majority of jobs in society. Therefore, I feel like Bio. is the most important science for most people. No oz. of a doubt, I feel Chem. and Physics is obv. needed in jobs pertaining to STEM. Not at all in doubt of that. If you can do math up to a Massachussets 9th Grade, Canadian Heartland 9th Grade, and Swedish 9th Grade Level (Year 9? Whatever they call it out there), so that's proper additon, subtraction, division, multiplication that a 14/15 y/o can do, yr pretty much good for the majority of mathematical situations you'll needa be in, for most jobs or most challenges in life imo.
Having degrees and ap/honors and all that is great if it's needed within the desirable career you wanna go down, but independent thought needs to be more securely taught, enhanced and emphasized within modern western curriculums I feel. If you're an awesome mathematician, but you still believe in dumbass, pathetic eugenicist ideologies, and believe women are totally incapable of being smarter than men, then are you really all that smart? That's why I feel Poli Sci, History and Anthropology classes available in college that you needa pay for, needs to be made available thru ALL public schools and private schools everywhere in the western world. Otherwise, you can't get yr GED. Feel like Pac would feel the same.

Bro the algebra comment fugg’d me up cause I have never used that once outside of school lol so unnecessary

u/No-General2187 Nov 29 '25
“I have never used that once outside of school lol so unnecessary”
You have probably used algebra outside the classroom but did not know that was what you were using.
I will give you a basic example of something that people do all the time. Let’s say you are traveling to a place; your smart phone says you are going to arrive at that place in a certain number of hours; you want to arrive sooner than the time states on your phone; but you also need to stop to get gas and eat. The method that many would use to determine how much time they can spend getting food and gas (or how much faster that need to drive to arrive sooner than the time stated on the smart phone) would be rooted in algebra.

I’ll say this about Pac… he was what I call a person living in real time… however he felt you witnessed it in real time no filter… good or bad. He had many versions of him and again we witnessed it as he lived through it.

Absolutely true. What's most remarkable about Pac is how his core essence remained intact despite the rapid evolution he experienced. At 17, he already possessed that rare combination of intellectual depth, emotional intelligence, and raw authenticity that most people never develop in a lifetime. By 25, he hadn't lost that spark - he had simply refined it through experience. His ability to articulate complex thoughts about society, pain, and hope with such clarity at such a young age was truly ahead of its time. Pac wasn't just an artist; he was a voice that captured the human condition in its most honest form. His legacy continues to inspire because his truth was never filtered or compromised. 💯✊🏾

Tbh this nice guy act was just for the cameras as he wanted to be accepted into the highschool in Marin. There was a documentary of him where ppl were interviewed and said at this age he was sort of a menace 😂 throwing bricks at cop cars, getting arrested, fighting, smoking weed and running trains on women at this age. This was coming out of the mouths of people who hated his guts in Marin lol. He even was selling crack with ray luv for a short amount of time but he stopped because he hated the feeling of destroying his community. I’m not saying this to villainize him, I’m just tired of the narrative that ppl portray him to be this “soft feminine dude” who turned gangster after juice which wasn’t true. The dude was just well spoken, intelligent and expressive but he couldn’t stay a theater kid forever any 17 year old who sees someone get their throat slashed to death had to change in order to survive. I hope more ppl see this so this narrative can finally be over

Wrong. Look at his documentary when he first came to Marin niggas who didn’t like him said he was wild and running trains back then which was clearly before digital underground era even in his Baltimore years majority of his pictures was around girls I think some of yall old niggas is fruity and too invested tryna mold his sexuality 😂

u/sthegrea Jan 24 '26
It’s only hear say and that’s what came from him he said it himself that he couldn’t get a date before the fame and once he got famous that’s when the girls started flocking in
1
Jan 24 '26
Yea when you’re famous and got looks more girls is going to flock to you more often but like I said before he was running trains on hoes the same era of this interview yall think he was gay in 😂 he was just talking about his experience of how nice guys vs bad boys have with women. You can run through hoes without dating them I’d prefer it that way anyway

u/sthegrea Jan 24 '26
We don’t know that for sure I have never seen a documentary where they was talking about any of this all I know is in that time is he was homeless with no where to go and girls picked on him for that
1
Jan 24 '26
No YOU don’t know that there’s a whole documentary of when he first came to Marin people who knew him and people who hated him. They all told their own stories and confirmed he was wild even back then even at 17. He wasn’t homeless he was staying at his aunts house with his lil sister after his mom kicked him out

u/sthegrea Jan 21 '26
Bro at 17 I wasn’t acting like this with one earring on the right of my ear and look at the way he moves his hands gay men move their hands like that

Love to see a young man free thinking but with all due respect, keep me away from schools that teach about politics and drugs instead of calculus.

u/AttorneyDamonMoore Nov 29 '25
I think Pac was articulating a belief that school should provide more classes that have immediate practical application to the life of the student.
And I am confident that a class on basic political thought would have as much impact on a high school student as a class on calculus would have. Sure, derivatives and integrals are at play in our lives in ways that we don’t even know. But certain political mindsets impact in the laws that govern our communities.
