I LOVE Tupac - what do you think of this statement


Recommended Posts

I for one am a HUGE Tupac fan. I think he is one of the best and smartest MUSIC ARTISTS to ever live. His lyrics were not useless crap like most of today's rappers and other music genres. It was poetry. Thus why he wrote a poetry book. Anyway - I was listening to one of my favorite songs when it struck me, that him (being african american) was an odd thing to say:

 

Tupac - Life Goes on

 

Take the evil out the people they'll be acting right

'cause both black and white is smokin' crack tonight

and only time we chill is when we kill each other

it takes skill to be real, time to heal each other

And although it seems heaven sent

We ain't ready, to see a black President, uhh

It ain't a secret don't conceal the fact

the penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks

But some things will never change

try to show another way but you stayin' in the dope game

Now tell me what's a mother to do

bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you

You gotta operate the easy way

"I made a G today" But you made it in a sleazy way

sellin' crack to the kid. " I gotta get paid,"

Well hey, well that's the way it is

 

 

It seems so negative towards his own race. I for one think (after Bush is done serving his next 4 years) an african american president would be great. I guess Tupac doesnt think so. What do you guys think?

I love 'Pac too. He was great.

 

I think this country would welcome a black president though. I for one think the country would welcome a black president before they would elect a female president.

 

Dunno why really. Just a feeling.

Powell would win in a landslide, IMHO.

You're absolutely right.

 

One of my military buddies caught the news of Tupac's death. He came running into the compound and said "that rapper's dead, that rapper's dead!"

 

"Which one?"

 

"What's his name? Sixpack Canoe!"

 

"You mean Tupac Shakur?"

 

"Whatever."
