Everybody's at war with different things I'm at war with my own heart sometimes.
—Vibe magazine interview (February 1996)

All good niggas, all the niggas who change the world, die in violence. They don't die in regular ways.
—'Details magazine interview (Spring 1996)

It's not like I idolize this one guy Machiavelli. I idolize that type of thinking where you do whatever's gonna make you achieve your goal.
—Vibe magazine (September 1996)

This new Makaveli album I got comin' out, I'm takin' on niggas. It's like, my dopest album ever.
—'Vibe magazine (September 1996)

I am the future of black America.
—Vibe magazine (September 1996)

Fuck it, I feel like I shine.
—Vibe magazine (September 1996)

On the whole, I don't have any friends. Friends come and go; I've lost my trust factor. I believe I have people who think they're my friend. And I believe that there are people probably in their heart who are friends toward me or are friends to me. But they're not my friends, because what I learned is that fear is stronger than love.
—'Vibe magazine (June 1996)

It says "I really got my ass beat. I really don't like police. -Policeman questioning Tupac
It doesn't say that. Where are you at? Right there... oh. I didn't say that. That's not what it says. -Tupac
Okay. -Policeman
It says, 'I'm a victim for real. Everything I talk is for real. I really got my ass beat. I really don't like them... I really don't like crooked police.
-Interrogation in prison (1995)

To dance with the naked dog, that was me! That's what I mean by I'm real, I'm truly hardcore,because I needed the money and I had to work. So if he told me that for me to get paid I had to go out there in bikini briefs and hop on top of this dog and that's how I gotta get paid, and I was homeless at the time, that's what I had to do. But What I did was not let him pimp me, you know what I'm saying. It wasn't like I just did that because that was my order. As soon as I got the check's to say what was on my mind, I said what was on my mind. And we have a platinum record now, you know what I'm saying.
-MTV Interview (1994)

You have to work from one point to go to another. So I admire work ethic, I think it should be re-inforced through out our neigbourhoods, that everybody should work hard, practice makes perfect, you have to be diligent with what you want, you have to apply your self, you have to motivate your self. You have to do for-self by your self, and then you can do things for other people. But that's what I had to do, I had to do for-self.
-MTV Interview (1994)

I want, when they see me, They know that everyday when I'm breathing is for us to go further. Everytime I speak I want the truth to come out. Everytime I speak I want a shiver. I don't want them to be like they know what I'm gonna say because it's polite. Im not saying I'm gonna rule the world or I'm gonna change the world, but I guarantee you that I will spark the brain that will change the world. And that's our job, It's to spark somebody else whatching us. We might not be the one's, but let's not be selfish and because we not gonna change the world let's not talk about how we should change it. I don't know how to change it, but I know if I keep talking about how dirty it is out here, somebody's gonna clean it up.
-MTV Interview (1994)

I gotta big mouth, I can't help it, I talk from my heart, I'm real you know what im sayin whatever comes comes. But my controverse problems, It's not my fault, I try to find my way in the world you know, I try to be somebody instead of just, make money off of everybody. You know what im saying, so I go down paths that haven't been traveled before and I usually mess up, but I learn, you know what I'm saying, I come back stronger, I'm not talking ignorant, you know what I'm saying. So obviously put thought into what I do. So I think my mouth, my controverse, I have not been out of the paper since I joined Digital Underground, I've been in all, you know what I'm saying, my name has not been not uttered, you know what I'm saying, and that's good for me because I don't wanna be forgotten. If I'm forgotten then that means I'm comfortable and that means I think everything is okay.

  • Tupac is the realest of all time for real, i know that the hip-hop era is the golden age for the young generation of today. But as a rapper you are a poet you are expressing yourself and you are basically a teacher for a whole world cause music is worldwide. please tell me who is at the top in today's rap=Wayne the human race is existent we suppose to learn from what we see or do or what we hear when your listening to pac do you hear and listen or just bump your head and waste your time. SMH

  • @Irving2Pac This is the only place I actaully found the originals In CDQ I've been looking for Tearz of a clown (CDQ) and still ballin' (real OG) if u have those could u please upload them and dude where did u get all these

  • @TheMarmboy to change thats the problem. The same fools Pac talking about, banging for they sect, rather Black, White, Chinese, Muslim or whatever. Guess thats why he wrote they will never be peace. Sorry if I came off a bit harsh when I commented, but I meet many people daily, and some just refuse to change and listen to what others are saying is good for them. If people listened to 2pac, John F kennedy, and these real dudes things will change, but we don't want reality just fantacies

  • @TheMarmboy I believe it is a solution as well to racism. Once we come to realization that we are all humans then things will change. Like Pac said don't just bang for where your from or what tribe you are. Bang for the principle. Many people have overcome racism because of thinking like this. Its just that some fools refuse to let go of these stupid aspects in their life. Their are many people I have met from all kinds of places on the earth that are not races. Its the ones who don't want

  • @Adriangrosvenor now that you think about it like that you are correct too bad rascism cant be solved like that

  • @TheMarmboy But unfortunately Pac is gone and no one is pushing those kind of philosophies anymore. Its all about what sect you claim. Dumb assholes wearing rags and shit screaming crip and blood. (no disrespect if your a crip or blood) but its stupid. Pac saw this as the only way these assholes will realize we all in the same boat if they could look across the next sect and see them as family.

  • @TheMarmboy It would bring a form of unity among those people. If they come to the realization that they are all in the same boat. Once it becomes to the point where a man can look across the border and realize that a next person is flesh and blood like him, he will become less hesitant to be involved in gang violence. Considering its family. Right now in the streets as soon as you say where your from guns go off. But us seeing each other as human and a family will create peace

  • @Adriangrosvenor  i knew what he meant you dumb fuck. why would east coast breed with west coast to start some type of change for the country please tell me what would that solve

  • @TheMarmboy What is dumb about Crips having children from Bloods and those children end up being a form of solution for peace, seems like education is not being used wisely these days. What was so hard to figure out about that??

  • killuminati!!! ALL THRU MY BODY!!!!!!
