What you think about 2pac

I think he wanted to be a new jesus figure (a new black Jesus figure of our time). What do you all think.

 

I think he's dead.

 

What do i think about tupac? I think he was a very talented, very influential rapper, and a genuine OG.

Somehow i doubt he was trying to be the new jesus. He's never bothered to try and conceal the sins he commited in his raps. And Jesus was reincarnated after three days, Tupac, if he's alive at all, which i doubt, has waited ten years and counting.

A line from the song "Changes" irritates me, "I never did a crime i din't have to do" If you're gonna rap about being a gangsta, atleast man up and take responsibility for your actions.

 

And people like you irritate me. White boy whom listens to Opeth - The Night And The Silent Water is commenting on tupacs music. Funny.

You have to relate to understand his music. He is still owning up to his crimes in that line, but what he is actually trying to say is every action he takes has a motive/reason.

 

I concur. Just as dead as Elvis is, and Mr. Dressup.

 

this is probably going to shock everyone, but there are periods of time (and I am talking months) where I don't think of Tupac at all. He just isn't that important in the grand scope of things.

Oh... and outside of Canada, I don't think anyone knows who Ernie Combs/Mr. Dressup is... but good try.

 

How can you not, he is god!

 

I miss Mr. Dressup.

 

I thought he was great in gridlocked.

 

i just started listening to some double disc greatest hits album of his ( i liked him quite a bite when i was 11 or 12, haha)

fuck does he make today's rappers look like the worst writers in the world (which they possibly are ).
he surely knew how to construct a song, and keep his serious messages "poppy" (which always keeps listeners interested in what people are saying).

and yeah he was awesome in gridlocked.

 

I would say listening to a broader scope of music gives me even more of a right to comment on an artist. And i have been listening and loving tupac for years, so you can suck my dick.

That makes sense, but still, you never have to commit a crime, and that comes from someone who's been involved in more than my share of fucked illegal shit.

 

I think he is very talented one of the only few rappers I will have no problem wearing their t-shirts without being paid *nods*

 

Tupac is the shit. His music was relavent when he was alive, it's still relavent, and it always will be relavent. He was one of the few rappers that actually wrote about the world and what was wrong with it. I have been listening to Tupac for years. He is the only rapper that has been able to hold my interest for over 10 years. His albums continue to go platinum, even diamond, and he will have been for 10 years this September. It's saying a lot that his music is still reaching that many people this long after his death. Love him or hate him, Tupac's music will be around for decades to come. If you ask me, he's right up there with Kurt Cobaine, Elvis, Syd Barrett, and even Shakespear, Van Gogh, and Mark Twain.

 

What I think about Tupac? Well I think he was an amazing rapper and probably the best of all time. I don't think he's dead, he must be hidding somewhere where no one knows him and he must have changed his name.

 

People still care about Tupac?

Please. He was just another hoodrat that got shot up because he couldn't ditch his street life past.

I have no sympathy or admiration for people who get killed by and for their own stupidity. Tupac, Biggie, Elvis,ect , anyone else who died from a drug overdose, gang-related shooting, drunk driving, generally actung stupid.

and yes, that includes the likes of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, River Phoenix..ect. I dug their talent but as individuals..they were but fools who destroyed themselves with decadence and misuse of hard drugs and booze.

Pfft.

 

Tupac is still ahead of his time. It's a shame he couldn't escape from his violent roots, he was brilliant.

 

couldn't agree more. what the FUCK are you talkin about Insight_M? i listen to near enough every genre of music bar r'n'b, classical and pop. my favourite band is a death/doom-metal band from australia called the berzerker but if i can stand here and say tupac's music is the shit and i can relate to some of his lyrics then you're chatting shit. so, you think that pewople can only be into one genre of music?
just because you are obviously a stereotype doesn't mean everyone else is the same so heres a big FUCK YOU for that comment. you PRICK.

 

You obviously haven't listened to his music, at least not in depth. I'm sure if you listened to more of his music and actually listened to it's content, you would change a lot of the misconceptions you have toward him as an individual. He was very talented and was much more than a hoodrat', as you put it. He was amazing in every sense of the word. He is like the Jim Morrison of rap/hiphop and should have everyone's respect. It's a tragedy that he died the way he did. He could have done a lot of good things if he made it past the age of 25. He experienced many hardships that would have killed most people, but he grew as a person because of those hardships and touched and changed many people's lives. He will be missed, not only by rap fans, but by people of many walks of life that understood the pain he had experienced, which helped many people, including myself, get thgough many hard times in their lives. R.I.P. Makaveli.

 

Tupac was no doubt a great artist, but severely OVERRATED. About like Kurt Cobain in the sense that people really, really give him too much credit.
And, he's dead.

 

Please Topnotch. You were a young kid when he was alive. I went to high school where all people did was listen to Tupac...WHILE HE WAS ALIVE.

Hell, I grew up listening to NWA and Ice-T back when they were actually together..not like some of you youngins that only get to hear their CDs because they stopped performing before you could even read a thicker book then Dr.Seuss.

His music was only relateable to very small portion of the US market and most of his fans and listeners were midwestern, white, middle-class kids who didn't even know what pouring beer in honor of "homies" was until Hollywood decided to exploit it for profit. They never even heard of Compton unless they lived in L.A.

And Topnotch, I can't imagine that your life is that bad(ie:living in the Compton projects, having bullets fly into your house at night, having police chase and beat you down simply for being black..ect) because you obviously have enough time and internet funds to accomidate your nearly 5000 posts in less then a year on these forums.

Lay off the dope. It's making you silly.
