why tupac is misunderstood

[Ghetto_Ghost]

wusup everyone.
i am currently writing a paper on 2pac in english class on Why he is misunderstood.
i would be very appreciative if u guys can give me a couple of areas where tupac was misunderstood.
thx

 

[nail_polish]

people tink just because he had thug life tattoo and was caught up in couple law matters he was a thug...w/e

and that he didnt like east coast...

 

[Funkaveli]

Another misconception is that he raped the girl in New York. And people don't realize that he was devastated and hurt by the accusations/wanted to kill himself at one time, but didn't.

 

[nail_polish]

and the treatment on his views on police...2pac didnt hate all police

 

[Ghetto_Ghost]

hmmm. this stuff is really good i can use all of them. thanks everyone & keep 'em comin

He was misunderstood by people like C. Deloris Tucker, who thought that Tupac was only interested in money making and reperesnting a negative idol in the youth eyes....he was misunderstood about his explicit lyrics, remember vice president, Dan Quayle had "2Pacalypse Now" albums removed from the shelfs.

delores tucker should be embarrassed 2pac ryhmed her with motherfucker in how do u want it

dont forget that gambling addicted fatso william j bennett

i dont know if this falls into 'misunderstood' but those rumors that he was raped in jail by wendy williams and chino xl..maybe people viewed 2pac as weak or sumthin

it is also very wrong to misunderstand that he faked his death because of all those nonsense theories

 

[Khaled]

he's misunderstood cuz he's a rapper and ppl who don't listen to rap think it's just about:
"i got hoes and fuck the police"

 

[nail_polish]

good one khaled...this also reminded me...got watch resurrection when he has interview with the blonde woman and she asks him about being a gangsta rapper and 2pac says no that hes a rapper and he compares that to actors are not gangster actors...good analysis

Make sure you note that 2Pac was a thug just that his definition of thug was not the dictionary's definition.

Also, although you can say many believe the Ney Yoork rape case was a set up, you can't say it was as I think you have to use facts. The fact is he was never convicted of rape, but a lesser count of sexual assault - namely, forcibly touching the buttocks.

You can also say that it was claimed evidence which could've helped his defense - a taped phone call - was believed to have been destroyed by police. Also, that the sentence of 4 years did not coincide with the crime that is, it was a very harsh sentence.

because he's black.

 

[Think_ThuGLiFE]

Say he spoke out against crooked police a lot . Made people think and question the society they lived it. Officals and politions didnt like the fact that a young black male is going againts everything and questioning everything which we still should do 2day.

 

[MaKa\/eLiThaD0N]

He is misunderstood because of the tatoo on his belly and the way he lived his life.people that dont listen to him and only hear the things they want to hear such as the songs in 2pacalypse now where he talked about killing cops on the regular.and do not hear the ones such as brendas got a baby,keep ya head up,dear moma,baby dont cry,unconditional love and these type of songs people do not understand that he cared more than most about alot of shit that is wrong in todays society and wanted to try and make/help make a change in the world where there was not ghettos full of pheans and homeless people/children.He was not all for killing he was actually against it listen to songs such as Unconditional Love and really pay attention to the first verse and second verse of Unconditional love
