Pac probably has more educated fans than most rappers, except those in your nerd rap/underground circles.

And, they mispronounce Machiavelli not simply because they're uneducated, but also because he misspelled it, Makaveli.

You just contradicted yourself.
Not really, but maybe my point wasn't clear. His fans aren't mispronouncing anything, since he didn't spell it as Machiaveli. No contradiction there.

PM him for his address (if you already haven't) and show him why they call you Cockton.

His fans didn't mispronounce anything? LMAO! So because Pac spelled it a certain way (that way obviously being wrong), they get a get out of jail free card? No. If his fans were as educated as you imply they would pronounce the name correctly REGARDLESS of how Pac spelled it, and they certainly would NOT make the dubious claim that Machiavelli FAKED his own death. I'll go out on a limb and say most fans NEVER even heard of Machiavelli until pac said it -- thus validating my claim that they are not the sharpest knives in the drawers.

PM him for his address (if you already haven't) and show him why they call you Cockton.
What is this supposed to mean?
