They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless.

Poetic Justice perhaps?

Not a word from their mouth can be trusted; their heart is filled with destruction. Their throat is an open grave; with their tongue they speak deceit.

remendber tupac was an entertainer and record industry star. the hype is figured in to the lifestyle to sell the records. he went to a performing arts high school for dogs sake.
He could have been a ballerina but that probably would not have brought in the $$$ like a gansta rapper.

not sure if mrdobolina was being sarcastic, but there is an element of conflict. he's one part activist, and one part thug, and you constantly hear the dichotomy in his lyrics.

I know,
the truth is for some people might be a god, for others is just a clown that got shot and became an icon.
No discussion will make either of those versions true or false, only your ears should be trusted when it comes to music.

Yeah, Pac did go to to a Fine Arts school. And Ice Cube went to drafting school too. I still like their music though. Well, at least Cube's first 3 solo efforts and NWA stint.
If I'm not mistaken, that dude from Mobb Deep was a ballerina? That's what Jay-Z said, so I'm sure it's true

I'd like a house drawn up by Ice Cube please.

Backtracking a bit here, but I see what your saying Nac and agree that especially in the US it's pretty fucking difficult to get out of a situation like Pac and many millions of others were in, when you've been brought up knowing nothing different. But I don't like the commercialization of this mentality, it's exploited the whole reality of life, which one trivializes it and I think tends to further engrain the idea of getting out being an obtainable goal.
Things were different in rap when Tupac came out, too bad it went to the shitter a few years later, but shit is back on track, just not in the mainstream anymore...

Nac, give it up man, you're angry because you want everyone else to believe in something that you, yourself have a hard time believing in. You know tupac was a fuck. We all do. he had his good and bad sides like each of us, sad part as he saw a chance to become rich of the ignorance of people like yourself, and took advantage of it. That is disrespectful to you the one who wants to defend him. if you can agree with him and idolize him, I feel sorry for you. There are plenty of poverty stricken people that hated him knowing what he was doing to the society around him. Sell drugs treat girlss like bitches except your mama, and wear a cross and thank god for everything he has too make it look good. fuck that. its either all or nothing you cant just love the side you like. he deserved to die because thats what he brought on to himself. he is the only person i remember that wouldnt shut up about east-west coast bs. he did it for his sales. controversy. he was a punk bitch that couldnt be a man and walk the straight and narrow. a real man in his situation wouldve worked 2 jobs gone to college and made something respectable of himself, would you idolize him then? i didnt think so, there wouldn't be the came from nothing to rich bullshit that you seem so proud of. so if you want to be laughed at by intelligent people the rest of your life no matter how rich you are keep on going, if you want the respect of men worldwide i suggest you reexamine your inspirations and goals in life. money can't buy respect.

It's all about relating , yes you have to listen to his music to know what he was all about as an artist. We all know about studio gangsters any one see the movie c4 or something like that ... this guy was real , he did not play nice to win A&R support he spoke what he wanted too, even had his Albums edited by Jewish execs .... it's about truth and that is what Pac was to a lot of people .....
