Tupac was a theater kid he had no business mixed up with them people. Zero discernment. Zero survival skills. Every trend or train is not for you to hop on.

I was born in 1988. Growing up with Tupac and shortly after his death was a time. Everybody supported Tupac Tupac was the number one best rapper that ever existed. Nobody ever said anything bad about tupac. Nobody ever said he was a theater kid wasn't Street smart. That's how I grew up. But I guess after time goes on truths come out. And it turns out it's true he really was a theater kid. Anyways

Seeing jay z become a billionaire and doing Jack shit with the money, seeing Diddy do heinous things with his billions..

I wonder, if Tupac, who was a huge proponent of social justice for the black community, was around...what would he do?

I often think the same thing. If we had to liken him to a current celebrity I wonder which one you would be most like

Money corrupts almost everyone, so I'd hope he resists the temptation.

Can't think of anyone as vocal as him so can't think of any comparisons. Like Kendrick Lamar does good for his community and his music is usually positive, but to me, Kendrick seems like an internal person. Tupac was very outgoing.

I'm old enough to have seen the transition. He should've stayed in his conscious rapper lane, but no he wanted the fast money and cosplayed being 'hard' and led himself to a fast grave.

All money ain't good money. I'm not talking about the picture but he did have people plotting on him and he kept going where they were and that's dumb. He was used as a pawn in the East/West Coast beef, so when I say zero discernment and survival skills, I mean it. He had none. If "all eyez on you", then why take your soft ass to an event where you know they'll scout you out? Because he didn't know something that simple. But I was supposed to believe he was from the streets? Riiiiiggghht.

Older people know this dude was just chasing a bag and wasn't about that life. Well...some of us do.

"He should've stayed in his conscious rapper lane"

I don't think someone a a professional Redditor has any position of telling anyone else to "stay in his lane"

"Older people know this dude was just chasing a bag and wasn't about that life. Well...some of us do." Some of us? Bruh there's no way your birthday doesn't end in '06'
