PAC Was the rawest in the bay PERIOD

[Sydal]

I Couldn't have said it better.

To add to what you said, Thug Life is a direct derivative from his Black Panthers/ Me Against the World mentality. Jesse can you explain to me what part of his persona was fabricated? Pac's perspective of "Thug Life" was not in the criminal sense but rather it was in the perspective of the underdog in society, and that came from his own mouth. Can you see how this resembles his Black Panthers mentality? How is this aspect fabricated? Are you saying Tupac did not experience hardship and discrimination during his life? Or is it that you're saying his "gangster" image is fabricated?

Keep in mind that EVERYONE changes over time, we are ALL made to grow, and that transition in his music from Me Against the World to All Eyez on Me is only a product of his growth in life.
What could have sparked this change in passion, work ethic, and perspective?
well MAYBE it could have been that the man just went through being shot with 5 BULLETS 2 grazing his head, just barely escaping the grasp of death. Not to mention the national media attention and rumors that surrounded the incident. I would think that this incident accompanied with his SODOMY Courtcase all within a months span of time would naturally make a man to CHANGE.


Maybe you still think everything he says after Me Against The World is fabricated but I dont give a fuck what you think, just trying to spread a little knowledge for the people who seek it on here.

That's also real spit...his THUG LIFE stood for something, and his whole life was about going after what was wrong with society, and exposing it. "That's why I am gonna say that I'm a THUG, because I came from the gutter, and I'm still here.." Some cats need to read The Rose That Grew From Concrete, and understand where he was comin' from with his words. Sounds like some folks weren't old enough to understand where Pac was and why he was there...or what he meant when he said certain things.

"Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. I'm not the thief that grabs your purse. I am not the guy who jacks your car. I'm not down with the people that steal and hurt others. I'm just a brother who fights back." - Tupac Shakur
