    listened to chuck d give a lecture once... and he touched upon biggie and tupac. mostly he said that the problem was the record companies were searching these people out and glorifying them to sell records, so you basically had these ignorant kids, who were suddenly given all this money and fame but still acted like the were from the street. they weren't being educated or rehabilitated. they were stupid kids that suddenly had a million dollars. they weren't prophets and they certainly shouldn't have been considered role models. they got killed because of their way of life and no paycheck could have fixed that.

    pretty cool lecture actually. i didn't agree with everything he said but it was interesting to hear his opinion
