The East West thing was all conspiracy. Tupac and crew got jacked by some CRIPS in LA. They took everything, punked them and left. Tupac was there. So that night they saw one of the CRIPS alone in a hotel lobby and the entire crew started beating his ass senseless. A few hours later, bam, bam, bam. Most reluctant witnesses said a car full of young african american males, blue raggin. Now who could have that been. Tupac had alot going for him, like you said. But these crips that he tangled with had no such aspirations. Code of the street, Tupac or not, you are dead. In fact the hotel lobby jumping had more witnesses than the shooting, and all said Tupac was the front man for the crew and the point man on the attack. He won the fight but lost the war. Getting thug tattoed on your belly does not make you bulletproof. Nor does it give you a pass to jump real gangbangers that don't need tattoos to be tough, they just kill people.
