People say that 2Pac was like Malcolm X. 2Pac was nothing like Malcolm X. He was more like Huey P Newton, confused, seeking attention, and d'void of strategy.
It's nice that you found a clip of him saying something that made sense, unfortunately I could find twice as many Youtube clips of 2Pac acting ignorant and foolish. If you want to go Youtube clip for Youtube clip, I bet I could find more clips of 2Pac acting like an idiot than you could find clips of Pac saying something intelligent.
1. He beat up the Hughs Brothers on the Menace To Society set.
2. He spit at the reporters outside of the courthouse when he was on trial for rape.
3. He kicked Orlando Anderson when he was down at that casino
4. He made a record saying he f*cked Biggie's wife, which she denies.
I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find more. Bottom line, you can't be a positive role model while spitting at reporters or kicking people when they're down.
Everything he said and did that was positive was outweighed by all the stupid things he did.
I think he meant well, but he wasn't qualified to be a leader. He was naive, made rash decisions, and didn't think anything all the way through. He had no idea how a civilized society worked and tried to do things his own way and failed miserably. 2Pac is a perfect example of how NOT to be a revolutionary.
It's like how KRS One tried to be a conscious rapper and uplift the community and then he beat up Prince B and threw him off the stage. That's not being conscious, that's being stupid.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. You can either be a socially conscious person, or be a thug. But you can't be both because it's impossible, and 2Pac proved beyond all reasonable doubt that it's impossible.
2Pac was like a crack dealer donating money to the church.
