Tupac Amaru Shakur...

[Matt_K]

I don't see anyone making comments about Metallica in any other threads....

Cause those of us that don't listen to rock and what not, could care less about those that do (not in a bad way, some of my best friends HATE what i listen to).. I know i personally listen to just about everything, but i listen to more hip hop, rap and reggae then anything else, but when someone starts a thread about going to see Metallica live or to Ozzfest or whatever rock venue, i don't pipe up with my thoughts on that music (to me, most of it sounds like screaming)..

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone has different taste's in music.. No need to be ignorant about it.. =/

Matt, I was saying that since no one makes comments in those threads, they also shouldn't in this thread

quote the part that says I'm a large rap fan too...no ignorance included

[Matt_K]

LOL, i was quoting you and commenting on it, i agree with what you're saying.. I wasn't saying you're ignorant, sorry, i should have made it clearer..

[SCReptiles]

don't EVER compare 50cent, to tupac... 50 is a little girl compared to tupac, he has no heart... tupac promoted his past as glorious because he SURVIVED thru all of it..

I can’t stay out of this any longer. Pac was a poser. He didn’t survive anything (he is dead). In the early 80’s he was member of digital underground. Yes, he sang and danced with humpty! Gangster rap got popular, so he got some tattoos and became a gangster. He promoted violence, drug dealing, and female degradation. Anyone who supports that is a piece of trash, just like was stated! And who, in the blue hell, would consider him a roll model? He had a look and a voice and a wise promoter used that to get rich. That is the end of the Tupac story! A roll model? Hell no!

[SCReptiles]

Tupac come up with the hard core crew!

I hate this whole Tupac militia thing. Everyone is all like "RIP Tupac" and treat him like he was a god, its pretty pathetic. They are overlooking that he had been to prison a few times for serious things. Hes killed people, assaulted people, and was a hard drug dealer, he isnt some innocent little angel, sorry, I mean " lil thug".

Munchy, this is so.......

[latazyo]

surely he wasn't a role model, but was an excellent artist, and there's no problem with having a good artist that you support

that was HIS problem...

he was a good artist. i always hated on him like you guys do. then after he died i actually listenned to his raps and hes now one of my favourite rap artists.

[SCReptiles]

Someone said his music was intended to stop racism? It wasn’t violent? This will probably get me banned from snakes, yet again. But I am telling you, you reap what you sow. My religion teaches that so do most of the others.




2PAC LYRICS

"Stay True"

[Tupac]

Yah nigga, Drop the top on your mutha****in ride
This how we do it on the west coast BAABBBY

Rollin' down the Four O Five
Gettin' high
White boys done wrecked their ****
Tryin to check my ride
I ain't being bootsy
Crusin' in a Six-o Impala
Drivin' like I'm in a Hooptee
car full of ballin' caps
keep yo hand on the strap
and take all the craps
Niggas know my steel-lo
all legit
but I'm drapped
like a nigga movin' kilo
**** don't stop
cuz i can make that *** drop
make the front pop
And Hit the three wheel motion
All Day
Hit the freeway
take it easy, uhh
Let's slide
And pick-up some hoochies
ride
right back to the movies
High
talking back to the screen drinkin' liquor
Havin' big dreams of gettin' richer
I'm livin that

[Chorus (4x) (Tupac)]

Thug Life, y'all know the rules
gotta do whatcha gotta do (Stay True)

Big Stretch represent the real nigga
flex, Live squad and this mutha ****er catch wreck

[Stretch]
Thug Life
sharp as a roughneck
Shakin' the dice, we roll long, ain't nothin' nice
so the vice wanna follow us around (raize up)
Got 'em runnin' as we clown thru the town (blaze up)
Another one, had to throw another gun
Don't need another case
you can see it on my face son
But I ain't fallin' yet
And I gotta give a shout to where my ball is at

[Tupac]

Mophreme Tell 'em why the hoes dream
gettin high off a nigga like a dope fiend

[Mophreme]

Cuz I'm non-stop, and I'm always hustlin'
twenty four seven, ain't nothin buck
but when a young G's flippin keys for a livin'
Try to make a mill off the time I'm givin'
trippin'
mad
I'm crazy
Can't nobody fade me
And I been goin' insane lately
And everybody tryin ta hold me back
I'm about to snap
You better move back
You know I led a.....

[Chorus (4x) (Tupac)]

Thug Life, y'all know the rules
gotta do whatcha gotta do (Stay True)

Maaaannnn, I don't worry about the Five-O
if they start,
cuz it's all about survival
Just stay smart
Keep your mind on your bank roll
always
stay ahead of these stank hos
These days
It's an all out rat race
And look at MEEE just caught another cat case
That makes three
My laywers getting cash up the ***
Don't even ask
Why I'm buck wild ?
Don't smile
don't laugh
To the young G's comin up
peep game
Don't let the money make you change
or act strange
Stay broke
It's all in together now
Keep pumping loud
till the crowd
bring the top down
Is that Tupac Thug Life ?
Hell Yah
Try to dirty up my name
but it's still here
which way do I turn ?
i'm strapped
Lost in the storm
I can't turn back
with that...

[Chorus (4x) (Tupac)]

Thug Life, y'all know the rules
gotta do whatcha gotta do (Stay True)

lol you guys act like he was the only one writing lyrics like that.

[SCReptiles]

Of course he wasn’t the only one writing it, but he is one of the ones that has reaped from it. If the others continue to glorify violence, I will be posting their autopsy photos before too long.

People don't bring up bands like metallica etc because you don't often see them singing about gangs and their lives in the 'hood'.

The members of metallica (and many other rock bands) are certainly not role models, however they don't go around promoting or glorifying the life of a drug abuser(as they are known former addicts and alcholics). They do have a few songs on the issue but they dont promote it. I dont see the comparison. That just goes into the debate of which music do you prefer, and this thread has nothing to do with that, these discussions ALWAYS go the wrong way. I personally listen to rock, and don't like rap, if I did, I still wouldn't be supporting a convicted rapist/thug.
