I can say this, most of the African-Americans I grew up with and know are very jealous of one another. It seems to persist in the Black communities.

sorry mr pac, we're gonna need at least 13 more "fucks", two dope deals gone wrong and lose that track about self empowerment, it just doesn't fit our scheme, i find that to be kind of idiotic if its true
maybe mr. pac should've believed in himself and not the almighty dollar that got him in all of his trouble
plain and simple he was not respectable and died the way he lived, worthless
now i am goning to go make breakfast. eggs and bacon anyone?

It was declared a mistrial after 3 days beacuse an anonymous tip led to the discovery of evidence thought to be lost...it was sitting in some cop's desk.
Anyway this opens the doors for a corruption and possibly a RICO lawsuit against the LAPD.

Shakur's post-celebrity run-ins with the law were almost as frequent as when he was growing up. In 1992 he was arrested when a stray bullet killed a 6 year old child during a scuffle between Shakur and two others, though later charges against Shakur were dropped. In 1993 Tupac was arrested for allegedly shooting 2 off-duty Butts County Atlanta police officers who were harassing a black motorist, but the charges were again dropped. Ironically, one of the Butts County officers was shot in the ass, and in 1998 Deputy Scott Whitwell won a $210,000 lawsuit for the incident. Then, that same year, Tupac was accused of sexual abuse against a 19 year old woman in a New York City luxury hotel. Shakur's legal troubles continued in 1994 when he punched out Menace II Society codirector Allen Hughes and served a 15 day jail sentence for his actions. The sexual charge came to haunt Shakur in that 1994 as he was convicted and sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison, and to add insult to injury, Shakur was shot 5 times and robbed of his jewelry the same day, a mugging that Shakur later claimed came from the Notorious B.I.G. was responsible for hiring those who shot him and it intensified the East Coast vs West Coast gangsta animosity. After going to serve his sentence, Tupac's Me Against the World and its hit Dear Moma was released, and later his soon to be new Death Row Records Label and its CEO Marion "Suge" Knight posted $1.4 million in bail to get Tupac out of prison. Immediately he flew off to LA to record his fourth album and in an apparent attempt to further enrage Biggie Smalls, said he had slept with the rapper's wife, Faith Evans (which she denied). He also dated actress Jada Pinkett and was briefly married to Keisha Morris, though it ended in annulment. Tupac added more fuel to the Bad Boy vs. Death Row feud when he released videos 2 of Americaz Most Wanted (with Snoop) and later Hit `Em Up, both of which assassinated the character of Bad Boy, Biggie, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Mobb Deep, and others on the label. He returned to New York in 1996 just three days before he was shot and got in a fight at the MTV Video Awards.

I see. It's a quarter to 3:00pm over here...the end of my work day is nearing. I always have to wake up around 6:20am now because of my job. At least it's only for the summer.
Bacon is overrated, for sure, but it's still good (combined with other things, imo).
