I dunno what Im doin...

Im plastered so this may sound silly tommorrow....


1971-1996 RIP, Tupac Shakur

Tupac shakur was a poetic rapper who was unfortunatly gunned down in 1996 after beaten a crip named orlando anderson, please. everyone, give respect to this deseaced rapper whos family has still not seen any justice since his shooting. Tupac was a great rapper and didnt deserve death....

 

and what about B.I.G.?

 

Not as sad a death as John Lennon's

 

Putting Tupac and John Lennon in the same thread is a sin, I believe.

 

Comittin suicide to enhance my career, it worked for biggy an tupak shakira. Jesus was nailed up to sum wood, 2000 years later an book sales are still good.

 

Tupac Shakur, nor biggie smalls committed suicide, they where gunned down at seperate times becuz of a fight Tupac(west coast) and Biggie(east coast) where
in, becuz Tupac blamed biggie for having him shot and robbed, and biggie said he didnt do it.

 

Its too bad any one would murder such great and influential artists such as tupac, john lennon, and biggy. It truly is a large loss.

 

^^ im not a bealtes fan cuz i havent really been exposed to it much but nobody deserves to be shot like those 3 were. i can understand criminals and the like but not unexpecting citizens who really didnt do anything

 

that's like... your opinion, man.

 

That's like...totally true, dude.:H

 

i dont think its true at all. both victims of violent society gunned down in their prime. i think they are one in the same there player

 

Are you talking to me? If so, I meant that it's true that it is, in fact, only my opinion. It was a facetious response to Assfucksohard.

But, to be honest, the two are a lot different. Tupac 'sang' music that was based pretty much solely around violence, and was himself taking part in violence and therefore got what was surely coming to him. He was in no way an 'innocent'. John Lennon, on the other hand, sang of peace and love, as if those are such absurd concepts, and was gunned down by a fan, Mark David Chapman. I think this constitutes being an 'innocent'.

 

John lennon was also a much better musician. You cannot back up any claim that your favourite writer is any better than him (unless they happen to be Paul McCartney), probably since the beatles were more popular than jesus, and your favourite artist was, is, and shall forever be: less popular than jesus.

that said, even their biggest fans didnt really apreciate the music behind the beatle's work.

 

if you actually listen to 2pacs records and have seen 2pac ressurrection you will see that he didnt promte violence and drugs, it was just simply a part of his life, like weed is a part of our lifes(that doesnt mean were junkies) he became a rap musican to elevate the morale of younger kids livin in the ghetto, he was supporting people, tryin to influence them, he was doin it for the rite cause, "the underdog"he was a great man and it was shame that he was murdered, he culda done something great -

 

i dont like livin in the past. i say get on with things, live an let die, make our own history

 

I have doubts that he was murdered and he got out before he was truly murdered. From everything ive read about his death, it is obvious it never happened. He got shot in a busy area in califnornia, right? Yet no one has ever come forward to say they saw it. *cough* bullshit *cough*. Dont flame me if im wrong, Im just saying from everything ive read/heard.

 

Well, you're missing my point entirely, and in another way proved it simultaneously. If you're a "G" and violence is your life - it's a large part of your way of being and you are deep into that part of the social area, especially of the early nineties East/West territorialism, and you're murdered within that social circuit - you're not exactly an innocent. By saying that it was "simply" part of his life, you're proving my point that he wasn't an innocent whatsoever. I do look at his lyrics, and they don't seem very non-violent or even uplifting to me. They're uplifting in comparison to the lyrics of his ghetto counterparts, maybe, but it's still pretty violent. Whether or not he was more or less of a poet and artist than John Lennon is totally subjective, so there's no point arguing that, but John Lennon was an innocent, Tupac was not, that's pretty obvious.

Mabus, there were, in fact, witnesses. Some Chinese dude and his wife saw it and this is how we know it was a "white S.U.V." that approached him at the light. There are both crime scene and obituary photos, so I'd say that the idea that he moved to the Greater Antilles or something is a bit off. One could argue that those photos were doctored, but that's about as crazy as claiming the holocaust didn't happen. I mean, if you like the guy as a musician, that's fine with me, but you have to come to terms with the reality. He's not hanging out with Elvis in the Bahamas some place.

 

rap sux, so i have no opinion,

plastered ? drunk? thats what that means here


im tore up so i dunno weeee!!

 

tupacs dead adn john lennons dead..im with the anarchist scott here...fuck em they are dead and wer alive besides i only like 1 song by each of em anyway
i can understand ur meaning about tupac being a part of the violence but still u gotta think about it.....they are alike because they were both IDOLS to their communities and nobody deserves to be gunned down unless they are truly evil....
damn...anyone heard that song thats like "crystal blue persuasion..." never really got that shit til i heard it in the car while my mom was singin along

my parents are such dicks! they sing all the drug songs and shit
my mom was singin that strawberry fields forever shit the other day adn today my dad was making dinner singin "dont bogart that joint my friend.." and i walked in and was like dad wut the hell!? im mad u sing about it and then curse it when u catch me with it...."well son....(anit-drug speech mainly about extacy...grrr asshole)

 

strawberry fields actually has nothing to do with drugs lol
'strawberry field' was a sort of bed and breakfast place that helped lots of homless people or something, and the beatles lived or worked near it or somehting.

though it must have been a pretty drug fucked place anyway lol
