This is what makes him so interesting tbh

Its trendy on music forums to say tupac is overrated and he is, in the same seense that the beatles are overrated... literally no rapper can live up to the kind of hype surrounding an artist like 2pac

but he's definitely a rap legend and an interesting persona to dissect

he was sort of the tip of a spear of gang oriented west coast rap that dominated the 90's. he embodied the term thug life which he had tattood on his chest.

he wasn't an actual gangster but was flirting with it via his relationship with suge his death was literally triggered by him participating in beating down a crip in las vegas whose crew presumably retaliated.

and as OH says he was on a death trip. you can watch the trajectory of his mindstate through his music. me against the world introduced us to the tupac that was raedy to die. then all eyez on me took it further and by the time we got to the don killuminati he was already in his death spiral and died shortly afterwards..

me against the world:




all eyez on me:





The don killuminati:
