Tupca became One-Pac then No-Pac.

Good riddance.

[davetex]

WTF is this nut talking about? Is he on bath salts?

[muir_redwoods]

Unreadable slate-prate crap from a brain damaged pin head.

[Inyo-Mono]

Tupac who?

Salon is a "mainstream" lefty publication. This is how the left thinks, or rather, feels. Paranoid schizophrenic.

John Derbyshire was fired for writing a truthful and far less inflammatory article.

[ClearCase_guy]

All 85 IQ points were wasted in writing this article.

[OldSmaj]

I think that’s part of the reason we have a hard time letting him go.

We????

You got a frog in your pocket, moron?

Tupac was a gang-banging piece of shit.

Good riddance.

[2ndDivisionVet]

You loaned him 45 points?

“... who had been terrorized by white supremacy.” Western Civilization is a white race product. It is to the benefit of ALL races today, if they can get past this foolishness of raging for the signifyin’ rush of it. When the economy collapses and these same raging boys are slaughtering and eating their own in the cities of starvation, how many black people will be praising the ragers for their signifyin’ against ‘white supremacy’?

I had never listened to his “music” until a few months ago. I came across a program about him and looked him up. I had not missed a thing. I do not consider that real music.

“relatable, and easily translated to a nation determined to kill us. “

It ain’t Whites who are killing the Blacks who are slaughtered way out of proportion to their percentage of the population. And Tupac never saw 5 seconds of meaningful ‘White supremacy’ in his life.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Not only that, but have all the aeroplanes and ships stopped going to Africa? If not, why doesn’t he get on one?

[OldPossum]

I do not consider that real music.

Neither do I. It's recitation with some drumming in the background.

The fate of a rapper is around 1,205,366, 164,741 on my 2-do list.

That also lists rappers in the ladder of talent and ability.

Like I do with most things, I picked up some of his CDs at garage sales to listen to them.

It’s hard to believe they like to listen to that stuff and go attack whitey, but I guess it is the background music to their personal movie.

We needed this now because there are more there around 840,000 black men in prison, 300,000 more than in 1995 (when Tupac was counted among that number). We needed this now because Wisconsin locks up a larger percentage of black men than any other state, with almost 13 percent of its black male population locked by behind bars, nearly double the national rate of 6.7 percent.

Maybe he ought to visit a prison, like Richard Pryor did, and see if he still feels the same way

Was my lucky day in Vegas, the night they gunned to turd down!
