Thorned Rose 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2006 You can't honestly be serious?! Why he's for real?! And yes I will tell you it isn't good.The lyrics may well promote something good but how many people actually listen to the lyrics?When it comes down to it, he's just another 'homeboy' like the rest of them. I can't stand any culture that condones gangs, violence, glorifies the use of guns and dying, exploitation of women, drug and alcohol abuse etc etc etc.I've seen all too many rappers say their lyrics are meaningful and encouirage good behaviour yet in their videoclips they are just as blinged out, have just as many half naked women hanging off their arms etc as any other rapper.And how good is it to encourage young kids to speak a *BLEEP*ised form of english that noone but fellow 'homeboys' can understand?I'm not against the music (even if I don't like rap, I understand some do), it's the culture I despise.

You obviously don't know that Tupac was a social activist. Most of Tupac's songs are about growing up around violence andhardship in ghettos, racism, problems in society, and sometimes hisfeuds with fellow rappers. So, he isn't glorifying the use of none of those things. Tupac is also known for advocating political, economic, social, and racialequality as well as his raw descriptions of violence, drug and alcoholabuse, and conflicts with the law. Many rappers make rap music seem bad because they want to be gangster rappers. But now-a-days rap music is shaping out to be something great- After all, Rap Music is the most sold in the country. Depise it all you want rap music will only get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Many rappers make rap music seem bad because they want to be gangster rappers. But now-a-days rap music is shaping out to be something great- After all, Rap Music is the most sold in the country. Depise it all you want rap music will only get better. Tupac was a brother who was easily manipulated into being a pawn for a savage *bottom* crab in a barrel (Suge)...you see if he had a real father and role model in his life then perhaps he would of been all of things people attempt to make him into so many years after his death. But instead he took the simple way out. His music may have had a message but learn that he was a just another brother fooled, who became a tool of the machine, only he didn't realize it until the first bullet entered his body. We need strong brothers and leaders for the up coming revolution. NOT weak minded fools who want to be "killas and quasi tough guys"...trust me. He's no hero but just a misguided brother who had a lot of potential, a lot like many of you. Get out go out and do something that will affect change...I don't mean be a thug and go to jail nor ruining your mind with drugs and alcohol either. I mean living it like you should, and keeping it right not real. "Real" is just an illusion that has so many of us fooled. Fighting each other and killing one another is part of the enemies plan. You'll kill your brother but not your oppressor? Think about it for a second. BTW be on the look out for my blog and site. I'm sure I'm not hte only brother with ideas such as these, ideals that will provoke and promote change. As ofr this sad person in the article, it's obvious shes simply stupid and shouldn't of had a child in the first place. Being a parent is a gift and something that should be taken seriously, in short it's an honor!....mental or not she shouldn't be on the outside with the rest of us. Death is too good for her. We should shoot her out of a cannon into a volcano on live television. People who kill and harm children are the scum of the earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YungOdo 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2007 He sends out glimpses of hope to teens. He trys to show everyone that life isn't so bad. He trys to get people to think positive and make the best of life. He tells people in his songs that "life goes on" and that we should appreciate our loved ones. Yes, he does have some songs that have hatred in them but it is a way of expressing inner emotions and he makes everyone feel like going out in the world and show everyone they are not afraid and that they can make something out of themselves. Tupac was in my opinion the best rapper and poet I have ever herd. Tupac's poetry was second to none. His poem "The rose that grew from the concrete" means alot to me. The moral of that poem is that good things can come from unexpected places, He wrote original and unashamed music from the heart. He let it all hang out in his songs, and that's what distinguishes a special artist.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Replying to Full.Clip first of all lets get the facts st8 this is not ourculture this whole drugselling thing it is us adapting to the invirment given to us by our concurers.Guns are protection people are bad weed is good and the xpresident traffic blow and herowin.And eny type of music except for world and classical will revolve around sex and drugs becous sex sells and dope makes you feel good.And tupac had great meaning and every intelligent person listen to the wards how else to make osumptions of his charecter.You maybe herd hitem up and hailmary and thought you knew it all.First of all the east and west coast beef was nothing but 10% serious and a paid show and 90% media and the government killed tupac wile suge killed biggie.Just look at his ma stepdaddy name history his schooling and listen to dopefeins dinner changes blastphomy crazy whitemans world brenda keep your head up ect.Look at wat he brought to the table in terms of money selfesteem education and political skeptism.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 dumb responseWhy Tupac Is For RealReplying to Thorned RoseObviously you don't hear the lyricsOr understand the concept of being realWhy would u listen to a song if you don't pay attentionHe was political and very educational in many ways-reply by 1 nation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 Tupac was never a part of a culture that glorifies violenceWhy Tupac Is For RealI'll just respond to that comment with a DIRECT quote by 2Pac... "Don't hate the brother that's speaking it, blame the ones committing it." You are not seeing or hearing the honesty he expresses. He's not your regular rapper, instead he saw the world in a realistic perspective. It's very sad not having him among us now, he died at 25. Picture him older & wiser!

iGuest 3 Report post Posted June 1, 2011 Don't go attacking people you don't understand. Tupac's poetry wasnt expressing your views, it was expressing himself. You can talk about how he negatively influences so many kids blah blah but in the end its a statistic which neglects the idea of artistry. Look at the greats in history and you'll notice that they were great not because they conformed with ignorant views but they stood for themselves.He stood for his own ideal and not yours so stop letting your inflated ego discriminate against anything you don't agree with. just disagree with it in silence and act differently.
