I was a child of the \u201990\u2019s and I enjoyed the passion and energy of his music and more than any other rapper of that era he just seemed to be saying the right things\u2026sometimes. In addition to warning women that the underground just \u201cdon\u2019t stop for hoes,\u201d and telling Biggie \u201cThat\u2019s why I f\u2013ked your b\u2013ch,\u201d he was also telling women to keep their heads up and asking men why we don\u2019t respect them. What male rapper was talking about misogyny in the \u201990\u2019s, even if he himself often fell victim to it? Before Tupac became a part of Death Row, he was a product of the Black Panther teachings and from the time he was a young teenager, he was speaking out against White supremacy and injustice.<\/p>\n<p>He was a conflicted soul to say the least. And what saddens me the most about Tupac\u2019s short life is that if he\u2019d had the opportunity to live and mature a little bit longer, he could have done even more great things in the world, revolutionary things.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, that\u2019s just not how the cookie crumbled.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t tell already, I have great respect for Pac so when I hear people compare others to him, my antennas perk up.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what they did this weekend when Nick Cannon said this.<\/p>\n<p>Elcrema<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{ {{To put Hip Hop allegiances in the simplest of terms, if you\u2019re from the East Coast, you\u2019re a Biggie fan and if you\u2019re from the West, Tupac is your fave.
