Wow look at 2pac starting an uprising, he deffinetely is the rose that grew from concrete and he has so much passion and spirit that he couldve started a revolution.
As long as Tupac was ignorant and stupid, everyone loves him, people pick and choose which Pac they want to like and listen to. For all this talk about how rap and football improved race relations. Rich blacks are liked, ya dont say.
@MrBAllen59 /// His ignorance was a concious attempt to grow his fan base with sales gaining fame and influence needed to start a revolution. With the album Makaveli he was just gettin started. I believe what he was trying to do is the real reason for him being killed.
most of you don't understand what Pac's aim was...this speech is 20 years ahead of its time...yea, he rapped about all that other shit...but he HAD TO GET YOUR ATTENTION STUPID!!! Brenda wasn't gettin' the right attention at the time...but when he started yellin THUG LIFE, niggas started listenin...then he sprinkled in the truth on top...
Malcolm X and Tupac were speaking to two different generations of black people.
If Tupac spoke like Malcolm X the people he was aiming the message to wouldnt understand it. He was talking to niggas, most of whom didnt even graduate from high school and many could barely read.
Tupac was very elequent when the situation/context called for it.
What are you saying? Tupac and Malcom X aren't even close to sharing the same ideas... in fact Malcom X would probably really dislike Tupac... much of Tupacs raps are based on black on black crime, and being proud of it. That was not Malcom X's philosophy.
Moreover, times change but idea's don't... Malcom X was also talking to blacks who couldn't read - while Brown v. Board of Education had recently been decided by the Supreme Court, there wasn't any significant change for decades.
What from my comment made you think that Malcolm X and Tupac had completely different ideals?
All im saying is that they were aiming their message to two different generations of black people.
You concede that times change (presumably including the language we use) over a relatively short period of time and yet cant understand why they spoke differently to get a simular message accross?
That again is probably down to the fact that you have never lived it. Are you white by any chance?
Have you ever read any of Malcom X's speeches? He spoke about black unity, Black Nationalism, and in the end... HUMAN RIGHTS.
Tupac rapped about killing niggers, money, alazae and crystal, and then once in a while would give a speech or write a song about unity. But his actions spoke louder than his words. You obviously haven't listened to Tupac's music either.
If you're black, you obviously need to study black public figures better.
Malcom X preached Islam and Community. Pac preached money, power, GREED and then contradicted himself preaching about taking care of you mother and "Brenda" or something like that. Hmmmm no difference huh?
You have obviously never lived in a ghetto. If you did then you obviously never hung out on road and associated with thugs.
If you spoke like Malcolm X, elequently using proper English to a thug in the early 1990s the message would not get accross (Not just because they wouldnt comprehend what was being said but also it would lack credibility coming from someone who hasnt lived thug life)
Trust me when i say Tupac was very intelligent and well spoken again, when the context called for it.
he was technically christian, but after he came out of prison he claimed him self as the realiest religion there is. by that he meant that he doesnt care about the bible stories or any of that or allah or jehova. he just cared about God. God and God only.
Sometimes he did sometimes he didn't. Look @ the panthers look how they started out and look how they ended. He's a part of that movement. I'm not judging him or you I'm just pointing something out peace be with you if it's deserved :)
to say that means you didn't listen. idiot. part of the progress towards success is war. if you think like a dumbass american, you should pay attention to your own fucking past of war and conquest.
Pretty soon it's going to be Latino too. I don't envy the Black position. The nation is becoming Latinoized and the economy is tanking even as most whites have become non-racist. These are new and serious issues for the Black community. Forming gangs to sell drugs and creating a gangster rap culture aren't the way to the top of the mountain though. I know that much.
The Government brought the drugs in, and they didnt "create" gangster-rap, they were pissed off and they're displayin whats goin on in the hood to show ppl that it needs to stop. But the Govt. tried to opress their voice.
couldnt have said it better myself. thats why they offed pac. pac knew about the illuminati and what was really going on and he was getting the info our generation needed to know back to us. he WAS the word of our generation.
Wow look at 2pac starting an uprising, he deffinetely is the rose that grew from concrete and he has so much passion and spirit that he couldve started a revolution.
