R.I.P. Tupac Amaru Shakur

hondo, he was, if nothing else, a hell of a writer, and should be celebrated as such.

You don't like it, don't read the thread.

 

Now that you mention it, I'm ready to buy my special release Tupac coin, made from the metal from the SUV in which he rode that night. It's the perfect way to pay tribute. You want one?

 

HAHAHAHAHAH Now THAT'S funny.

(except he was in some sports car. Biggie was in an SUV. I just remembered that. But still funny as hell, because I'm picturing the commercials.)

 

I didn't care 10 years ago, either.

 

Helluva writer compared to who? Steinbeck? Hemingway? Baldwin? Lennon-McCartney? Hank Williams Sr.?

 

The dude was fucking talented. Mainstream America always saw Pac as just a "Thug" or "Gangbanger". Yeah some people didn't care then and they dont care now, but Pac left his impact not only on music, but in our society as well.

 

Your choice. He was a true artist who impacted the rap game in ways others can only dream. He was a real street poet, and there will never be another like him.

 

Man, don't waste your time with some of the old farts around here.

 

Please don't mistake hondo for Mainstream America.

 

He was a hell of a writer compared to anyone, hondo.

It's a genre you don't appreciate, but then again, your flaming bigotry likely has a lot to do with that.

 

Explain how not liking rap makes me a bigot?

 

It doesn't.

Prclaiming your dislike for whole groups of people you don't know based on the actions of people of similar skin tone makes you a bigot.
