Pac was influenced by Jesus in the sense that he talked about how there should have been a black Jesus, and that he felt he had been trialed in similar ways to Jesus. Bad guys didn't hurt Tupac, his own friends turned on him on some real Job shit. Or more fitting in this context, Biggie and Stretch were Tupac's Judases. Note that Tupac never specifically talked about the concept of reincarnation as part of his reality, he merely used it as a thought concept to convey points in his lyrics. By saying his only fear of death is coming back reincarnated, for example, he is not at all alluding to the fact that he's coming back reincarnated, but that the world is such a huge shit hole that death would be a sweet release. It's of course any superstitious Tupac fan's right to think otherwise, but I don't feel bad saying that anybody who believes in reincarnation in the traditional sense of the word needs a reality check. I'm open for speculation around the concept of energy transference.
