Tupac Shakur was never there for me, alive or dead.
The fruitbat from Minnesota had a brief ascendancy in the early 1980s -- the DJs around here were yapping nonstop about the passing this morning, but none of them had much to say about the most recent 30 or so years -- went crazy, went to war with his label, convinced they were exploiting him, and remained an unreconstructed racist vis a vis white folks. Oddly enough, he bought into the same paranoid nuttery (chemtrails, Illuminati, etc) found on most of the skinhead websites.
