Retired Vegas cop says Tupac's last words were

[mrwallace2ku]

Sure it wasn't ,"Fuck me..."?

I'd like to think the guy had the balls to say that instead.

I'm not sure that's news to anyone. The guy was such a tool.

 

[Montalban]

I heard his last words were "Please don't use my likeness in a hologram".

I heard it was "please save me, I don't want to die".

Happy birthday Tupac!

Question for you. Do dead people appreciate being wished a happy birthday?

If that dude was still around, he'd be dead by now.

That doesn't make any sense lol.

His buddies cremated him and mixed has ashes with weed and smoked him.

I was (still am) a fan of tupac. I appreciated the article. no way to know if it is true. but sounds legit. I miss mid 90s rap music.

I hate rap music but then one man's garbage is another man's treasure.

I was lucky enough to be able to appreciate a bunch of different culture's music. My father was a huge country fan and I've always personally preferred rock and hip-hop. Not everyone can be eclectic though and not everyone can understand what it's like to grow up in a poor area. Like you said, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

I liked that old school rap like Grandmaster Flash and Sugar Hill Gang. Still listen to some of that. Don't have much use for gangster rap though.

RIP young man.

It's a common misconception that Tupac was a gangster or rapped about nothing but gangster rap. Most of his songs that people view as "gangster" were really cautionary tales. He also has a ton of songs that don't involve drive bys, calling women bitches, etc etc.

He recorded more songs during his short career than most rappers do in their entire lives. Most people simply haven't delved very far into his catalog honestly.

Tupac was a confused young man, like a lot of young black men. He was effeminate acting when he was a part of Digital underground but he eventually molded himself into the stereotypical gangster and thug that society typically identifies young black men as because he wanted to sell records and needed that all important "street cred." He may have grown up in poor areas but he was no gangster or thug (he went to a school for gifted students), but he hung out with those types of people.

Lyrically? He was a fucking genius on the mic. You don't have to be a fan of rap to appreciate it. Just listen to it and appreciate the word play he uses. If you can't identify with what he raps about, just listen to the depth and flow. He raps about teen pregnancy, racial injustice, healthcare, war, politics, black on black crime, all kinds of shit.

I agree with Marlon Wayans that he would have become a leader in the community and advancement for real change. That was his true calling.

Exactly.
