Tupac Shakur VIBE Interview

Have you read the Vibe interview? I thought the whole Tupac story was best

summed up by Tupac himself...

"this thug life stuff, it was just ignorance"

----Tupac Skakur

Tupac demonstrates a "problem" that exhist with today's hip/hop

generation/culture: ---->not being able to separate the "character", the

"role" that's portrayed on CD/Film from real life. Ice Cube, Snoop, Method

Man, etc. are all "characters" and people (sometimes the artist themeselves)

fail to keep this in perspective, as Tupac did.

The problem is everyone from government legislators to grade school kids

(and the artists themeselves) make the mistake of perceiving rap/rappers as

something more than entertainers. Parents/Guardians are responsible for how

they're children perceive rap/rappers and artist, and legislators have no

excuse.

I hope that the people behind these characters are decent responsible

people. "ScarFace" is no different than "Jason" (Friday 13th) or Hulk Hogan

(WWF)...a character....who you should not empower to be a spokesperson, a

target to be banned, or anything else in real life. They're entertainers.

Tupac's "excuse" for not being a responsible person is that he was smoking

too much weed, drinking too much alcohol, and haning out with too many

thugs. It's sad that some rappers have to learn the hard way that you

cannot take your "character" and your character's behavior as a realistic

way to live in this world. Tupac's in Jail, Dr. Dre's about to do his

time....and Snoop may well learn the "hard way" next. What's real?

certainly not these "characters"......and these artist themselves,

legislators, and parents of imressionable children should also keep this in

mind.

Imagine you used rap forums in the 90’s and once ktt1 rolled around you decided to make a nice jump over since Kanye in the 00’s was such a legend and now you’ve been on KTT for almost 2 decades and you’re seeing your original rap forum posts being dug up and posted for humor

Theres still some people here from the klive days.

And back on ktt1 there was some people that used to post further back on Kanye's personal fansite blog-thing where Kanye would also post on and give updates and had a "talent section" where they would post curated rap songs and videos the mods thought was cool, which is where CyHi happened - theyre not on ktt2 tho (i think), but a lot of those guys were around for a LONG MINUTE.

Personally, im from KTT1. Lurked a lil before yeezus happened and found them by looking up "unknown GOOD Fridays tracks" (which were hard af to find back then and ktt1 had a dope comp folder full of good fridays tracks, feats of the era & lesser know label songs). I then became a member with the lead up to TPAB & Rodeo with the occasional post, then became a constant posting member with the lead up to TLOP.
