[marycarson11]

gotta give up

[mixtecnative]

People either love him or hate him, why can people take something positive out of him.

He did bad things but also left good things

Every body is different and nobody is perfect

[LikeWiseLikeYou]

A criminal who "made it."

No jury in America would deny this.

I weep for all the foolish ones who followed his footsteps. I pity those who dressed like him, talked like him, emulated him and were punished like him-- all because of him. He raped an entire generation of young, urban adolescence with his vile wisdom and cruel messages.

And though songs like "Dear Mama" showed his true and good heart, his "product" was one of destruction, damage, selfishness, misconduct, and brutality.

[Southernjuggalo63]

@tottenhamg P.S MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DID MORE WITH NON VIOLENCE THAN MALCOLM EVER DID PREACHING HATE

[ashantimurderbeyonce]

@Southernjuggalo63 MLK was a freaking preacher, he did nothing for me, all he did was preach what was written in the bible.

[Southernjuggalo63]

@ashantimurderbeyonce MLK DID MORE WITH NON VIOLENCE THAN MALCOLM X DID PREACHING USING VIOLENCE

[Southernjuggalo63]

@tottenhamg P.S. MALCOM WAS KILLED BY MUSLIMS LOL HAHHAHHAH HOW IRONIC MOST OF YOUR HATE NEEDS TO BE GUIDED TOWARD MUSLIMS SEEING HOW THEY ENSLAVED BLACKS BEFORE WHITES AND KILLED YOUR IDOL YET YOUR HATE ME CAUSE IM WHITE LOL

[Southernjuggalo63]

@tottenhamg LIKE I SAID IM WHITE AND MY FATHER AND GRANDFATHER SUPPORTED MLK IN THE 50'S WHEN IT WASNT OK FOR WHITES IN ALABAMA TO SUPPORT MLK YET MY FAMILY STOOD FOR EQUALITY AND NON VIOLENCE

[Southernjuggalo63]

@tottenhamg yes malcolm was a racist just like the kkk preaching violence rather than like MLK who preached equality you cant fight racism with racism and much like the racism your spewing at me because im southern and i have a different way of thinking you have inherited his hatred for "whites" and your proving it now insulting me rather treating me as equal as MLK preached P.S. Martin Luther King was a republican and never said a racial slur unlike malcom x

[Paremco]

@Southernjuggalo63 he WAS a racist. he was brainwashed into nation of islam in jail, but after leaving NOI and his visit to mecca and seeing all different races co-existing in peace he realised he was wrong, after he changed from "we hate all whites!" to "we are not violent with anyone who isn't violent to us, but we are not non-violent with people who are violent to us". people change all the time, its part of life, its the learning process of life. and props to ur Grandfather mad respect. :D

[Southernjuggalo63]

WELL I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED MARTIN LUTHER KING MY DAD AND GRANDFATHER ALSO BUT MALCOLM X WAS A PLAIN RACIST TRYING TO FIGHT BIGOTRY WITH BIGOTRY SO THE HELL WITH MALCOLM

[lakersownsuns]

on mothers day i shut off all the lights in my house and when my mom walked in she was scared and all of a sudden i blasted "dear mama" and turned on all the lights and gave her gifts. my mom is a huge tupac fan so she teared up

[Frogstomp121]

Eternally in my mission is to be more than just a rap musician The elevation of today's generation If could make 'em listen Prison ain't what we need, no longer stuck in greed Time to plan and strategize, my family's gotta eat When we make something out of nothing No pleasure in the suffering, neighborhood would be good If they could cut out all the busting, the liquor and the weed, the cussing Sending love out to my block, the struggle never stops

[mikkylove08]

@Frogstomp121....what track is this?

[gajra12345]

much love soldier R.I.P

[Frogstomp121]

Your passion is definitely desirable but you should be careful to keep your emotions under control, otherwise they could run away on you.

[2SkilLer7]

What does he exactly say at the end of the video, I don't get him, coz I'm not quiet good in english, can someone write it 4 me? =(

thanx a lot, R.I.P BiiiiG soldier

[Frogstomp121]

I feel like I can represent my generation so much because I honestly did not care whether I lived or died. But now, I cannot die with people thinking Im a rapist, or a criminal. I cant leave until this shit gets straight.... But thats how it is, and the reason being is because, if I cant live free, if I cant live with the same respect as the next man, I dont wanna be here, because God has cursed me to see what life should be like.

[JoLondonBurg]

Is it right for a man to shed a tear for another man who he has never met, but he has touched my soul and heart!!!

whether its right or wrong i aint give a fuck, i shed one for this man!!!

He kept me going when i was incarcerated!!

Much love soldier

[MoneyPinata]

I feel you to man

[jshone1993]

Rest in Peace

Know one will ever come close

[godson409]

see Tupac is wayy bigger then any rappers..dats y you cant compare him to anybody..only put him on the level wit martin luther king and malcolm X

[simply2love]

There are many rappers with Tupac's talent and strength. Don't judge rap by what you hear on the radio, beacuse most of that is BS and does not represent the true nature of the rap culture

[godson409]

i kno..but he was more then jus a simple rapper like a lil wayne...he was bout to do sumtin big b4 he got killed...but yea u rite..the best rap music nowadays isnt on the radio or on B.E.T.

[TheSuperDudeman12345]

not really and don't talk shi- you don't know - he lived and walked what he believed - physical skill is nothing - he belived others have skill but don't stand in thw face of death and still remain the true of who they are = peace
