If you don`t like the thread title (Again) then just stay out of my threads like you were told.....I was also told via PM to stay out of yours.....And i sure have......And i will continue to stay out of your threads like i was told.....I really like it that way.

So try and keep up your end of the bargain so we don`t have anymore problems here at THERX.

Thank you!

A) I wasn't told to stay out of your threads...that is false.
B) I'm not being critical of you. This is a forum. At a forum, there is discussion...deal with it.
C) You were not told via PM today to stay out of my threads. That's not true.
D) I don't have any problems at the RX because it's not as serious to me as it is you.

If you find that kind of music credible I guess.

"Not seeing The Forest for the Trees"

The Hip Hop would have been, had he not died, just a place 'Pac began.

PACquaio in Philippines a decent comparison for Illustration....how he has now been elected to The Senate over there.


Tupac would have changed the world.

the most random 2pac appearance ... in nothing but trouble

He was originally part of Digital Underground (of Humpty Hump fame) and that is why you see him in that scene. VERY different music style than 2Pac as solo artist.

actually a good conversation in here...

Remember he died at 25... He was in his early 20s bringing this amount of depth to his music, poetry ect
He was definitely a flawed individual. And youre not? I certainly have mine...

Is it a possibility that he would have become irrelevant and not as progressed intellectually.. sure...
But I think its a much high probability he would have had a major impact on the US, particularly seeing where race relations stand today. He was way ahead of his time, which is why he is a legend. Not because he was the greatest, but because he was creating his own path. He was a leader in more than just music...

in fact, You can hate his music, but I think if you followed Pac's life you'd have a hard time not seeing his positive attributes like charisma, intelligence and the potential impact he could have had.

I hope the movie lives up the hype and some of you guys that don't like his music check it out and get an understanding of the man that was Tupac Shakur

Gangsta Rap.. Right?

You know it makes me unhappy
When brothas make babies, and leave a young mother to be a pappy
And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women, do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women, be real to our women
And if we don't we'll have a race of babies
That will hate the ladies, that make the babies
And since a man can't make one
He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
So will the real men get up
I know you're fed up ladies, but you gotta keep your head up

[Chorus:]
Keep ya head up, oooo child things are gonna get easier
Ooooo child things are gonna get brighter [2x]

When i worked at a law firm in downtown DC years ago, the main partners secretary had a hand written letter from pac. In one of those bio pics I saw a picture of them two. Thats what prompted me to ask her about it.

Mob should def have an opinion on this. From what I've gather he's an old school, more underground hip hop guru

When ya do though.....

even venture close to Understanding whats (apparently) "Necessary Reality" here, within the physical 3rd Dimension

and thus "Life" on Earth....

The One Thing that takes you there,

the single Major question that if you manage to not avoid yourself having to contemplate

is "Why Do They All Die?"

Tupac had "it". Theres no word for it. The Artists within the Video below describe "it."

JFK, MLK, RFK, John Lennon and on and on and on...

they also had "it."

They all died young though, with "it" these are people who were uniquely positioned to Change The World.

To Lessen Suffering. Such People are very very Rare. Tupac was one of those people.


Buddha said: "All Life is Suffering"

Its possible to take that to mean he was trying to say that Suffering is a necessary component to "Here"

....the physical 3rd Dimension. As in: "There is a reason that it is like this here, there is some thing to be gained that only can be attained by it being this way"


So many who have shown up here with that "it" factor then they die. Young.

Its Bizarre.

Totally supports a conclusion that for some reason this place has to be comprised of Suffering cuz so many who get here and might lessen that....die young.

Yet people like George Soros, those who create more suffering, last a long long time.

Dick Cheney has survived multiple Heart Attacks.


Anyways......Tupac had "it". Same thing JFK, MLK and others had.

Please don't get detoured by the reference to Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini within the following.....the point is to illustrate that "it", a unique gift to lead & cause massive change, within their environment.
