2Pac: Transformation from Beta to Alpha
- Thread starter Noah
- Start date
99 percent of these neo rappers are full of bull. I don't believe a word they say..they are actors..entertainment only.
I lived near Drake's area..the number 7 went all through bathurst street..nice jewish area..clean shops..regular bus service..I almost got an apartment there..nice to live next to money for a change

Pac wasn't gay when he was younger.
Don't talk trash about Pac...
Of course..he was feminine early on. No father figure..Raised by his mom in a time when black rights were going on.
His mom didn't want him out thuggin.
Pac went to an art school...we was a dancer.
Any of his friends would tell you that he was just a method actor
This iconic picture...Marlon Wayans is the the background.
Thugs dont hang out with the wayans brothers

I am ok with Drake . He is like the modern day LL Cool J . Rap to the ladies makes the panties and cash drop into his hands . That Good girl and you know it plus many others have the Jezebel turn into nuns and devoted housewives . On the downside , you have the average black dude believe that shit like Disney movies .
This was meant for the other thread that's now closed, but I'll post it here:
People love to hate on Pac.
Yet listen to how Jada Pinkett talks about him to this day. She's been married to one of the most successful stars in the world for the past twenty years, but she's still in love with Tupac.
Then you have the "fake gangsta" claims. He definitely played up that image, but that was because he knew it would help him gain popularity with that demographic which he could then use to make positive changes in the black community. A lot of this was known before, but the phone conversations Monster Kody released recently between the two helped shed a lot of light on this.
Listen to this if you've never heard it. Really profound look into Tupac's pscyhe:
Related, funny how Tupac used to have casual phone conversations with notoriously ruthless LA Crips (Kody), yet he was "soft".
Another recent story gives some insight into Tupac's character, and that's the indictment of Jimmy Henchman. The truth about the extent of his extorting and strong arming rappers is being revealed, yet Pac was never intimidated by him.
Even after he had Tupac shot, it didn't stop him. Many of you probably remember this line from the song Against All Odds on Pac's last album: "Promised a payback, Jimmy Henchman, in due time".

When you have women throwing themselves at you just because of fame, wealth etc, you are going to see through the bullshit, and see the women for what they are(gold diggers, star fuckers).

Obviously, he was a study in contradictions from "Sucka 4 Love" to "Hit em' up". He publicly dated/smashed everyone from Kidada Jones to Madonna (Quincy's daughter). Part of his transformation was probably environment and his associations, but to reach the urban audience he wanted to touch, he had to come harder.
In the later years, he wanted start a revolution
N.I.G.G.A. - Never ignorant getting goals accomplished. Brilliant turn of phrase
Dude took this ugly word and flipped it into a beautiful acronym
It's not how you start, it's how you finish

^ Not sure I like how he finished, whether you call it alpha or not.
His young heart lost sight of his old soul.
He had the potential for much bigger things but was seduced by the money, fame, and the image he'd conjured.
I don't hate on him for it - most of us would do the same given the same traps. But it was still a tragic misuse of potential.

Yeah I think Pac was on the right track up until he signed to Death Row. There's an interview just before he gets out of prison where he is talking about implementing some real changes in the Black community. After he was released though he was thoroughly swept up into the gang culture under Suge Knight which ultimately led to his death.
Agreed.
It seems his original agenda had been pushed to the background when he signed with Death Row. The whole time anyone who knew his back story knew that he never fit into a nice neat box. He was always contradictory. Even more so during that period.
He had sold his soul to the devil with Suge Knight. To me he was little more than hamming it up for his new business associates and he had a huge debt to pay off in exchange for his freedom
I remember being disappointed by All Eyez on Me because his previous work before going in was a more balanced display of his talent - Me Against The World
What some people don't realize is that with his last project, he had paid his obligation off to the label and was looking to become his own boss and move towards a different musical and social direction
Too bad he never got the chance
