upac has to take
responsibility for his actions or lack of the same. He
should have done something besides leaving that woman in
a compromisisng position in a room full of men. Black men
are going to have to learn to assert themselves and
challenge other black men by stopping them when it comes
to harming our women. The test is, if you wouldn't allow
this to happen to your mother or sister, why sit by and
allow it to happen to any other woman? Black men have to
stop condoning the negative behavior of their brothers
even if it makes them look soft.

upac has learned more
about himself than he has ever known, now that he is not
smoking bud or drinking. Many of my homies met him and
said he was a straight punk or an asshole because he
disrespected almost everyone he came across and he was
only acting hard because that was his image. But hearing
him say that he was always under the influence and that
he shouldn't have been acting that way, I guess he now
realizes his mistakes
C
'mon people. Tupac's
talking that same ol' jailhouse bullshit that all niggas
locked up are always talking about. The bottom line is
that if Tupac hadn't gotten locked up, his ass would've
still been out here doing the same foul shit he was doing
before. He srikes me as just another phony nigga trying
to be hard like every other gangsta out there. Tupac
needs to start being his own leader and stop following
behind other motherfuckers. He gets no sympathy, respect,
or props from me!
I
am truly proud of Tupac
Shakur for the wonderful change that he has made. I
commend him for finally developing a more positive
outlook on life. These days it's not easy for kids to be
postive about their futures, partly due to all of the
gun-toting, drug-slangin' gangsta rap that isn't
supplying these listeners with a solution, or even a
right and a wrong. Tupac was right when he said, "We
need to be more responsible for our lyrics." It's
all right to rap about reality, but we should educate in
a positive way. The "role models" in music that
are representing the streets need to start teaching the
good in life and stop glorifying the drugs, and the
disrespect of women. That "Thug Life" shit
needs to be dead. It's not ever going to get us anywhere.
Tupac realizes it, and he truly should be an inspiration
to all that might be heading in the wrong direction.

F
or all the compassion I feel for
Tupac, I keep asking myself a question that should be addressed
by hip hop and rap fans who support Tupac: Would he be changing
his thuglike ways if he weren't facing the nest few years of his
life behing bars? i hope that Tupac meant what he said in his
interview and I wish him all the luck that I have to give, but
something keeps telling me that if Tupac hadn't taken his
unfortunate fall, he'd still be out there smoking weed, insulting
people, and carrying on like he was prior to his sentence. I'm a
fan of Tupac's, so I'm hoping that I'm wrong, but I've got
feeling that I'm not.
F
or what I read, his so-called
homies Nigel and Trevor set him up with the rape case, and they
definitely had something to do with his getting shot. Yo, Pac,
I'm not calling you stupid, I just think you should have been
more cautious witht he people you choose to call your homies.
You've been around! Without those two, you wouldn't be in the
situation you're in now. It's sad that black brothers can't
unite, that they must fight and destroy each other. If what you
said in your interview about amking us all proud is tru, then
more power to you, black brother. Remember, true friends are like
diamonds, precious but rare; false friends are like autumn
leaves, found everywhere. Keep ya head up, nigga! Still getting
love from your sistas!
