The Shoutbox
Thanks. For clearing that up.

*I was mostly bumping down your large shout. Dig?
That's not even funny.

On an emotional and personal level, Barry Manilow can't touch Tupac. 2Pac actually spoke about what he felt.
And check out some Barry Manilow, too. That dude has soul and truth to spare.
Keep Ya Head Up

"I know they like to beat ya down a lot and when they come around the block brothers clown a lot, but please don't cry, dry your eyes, never let up. Forgive, but don't forget. Girl keep ya' head up"

Dear Mama

"Now ain't nobody tell us it was fair. No love from my daddy, cause the coward wasn't there. He passed away and I didn't cry, cause my anger wouldn't let me feel for a stranger"

Changes

"I see no changes. I wake up in the mornin' and I ask myself is life worth livin, should I blast myself? I'm tired of being poor and even worse I'm black. My stomach hurts so I'm lookin for a purse to snatch. Cops give a damn about a negro, pull a trigger kill a [Expletive] he's a hero. Sellin crack to the kids, who the hell cares? One less hungry mouth on the welfare"

Go on and listen to those songs. I don't see how people can't appreciate 2Pac
Actually it was 10. He got hit by 5 shots in 1994 and 5 in 1996 and died.

He was actually a very intelligent rapper and was one of the best.

Go listen to Dear Mama or Keep Ya' Head Up or even Changes and you can see the greatness of 2Pac Shakur
Just looked him up, you're not a rap star untill you've been shot 9 times, good grief.

Yea, great way to become popular.
I watched JFK last night. Man, if it wasn't for the courtroom scene, I don't think that movie would be nearly as good.

7/10 with the scene and 5/10 without it.

I also watched "A Few Good Men"...very underrated. I enjoyed that a lot.

Not everyone knew about Tupac. It's not like he was super famous and popular before he died.
Please tell me that's a joke.
