Does listening to 2Pac every now and then make you a thug?

[Turkish]

I occasionally enjoy listening to some 2Pac songs as rap/hiphop today is crap... so does it make you a thug?

 

[Schadenfroh]

2pac, the science officer of voyager?

You are only a wanksta.

No. It makes you someone that likes to listen to music created by thugs that are now dead. And the world is a better place b/c he is dead.

Dude I listen to Tupac, and I'm hardly a thug.

 

[IamElectro]

No

2Pac should be considered like a Classic in the rap/hip hop era. Listening to him don't make you a thug, you hear some of the songs he raps? He doesn't just rap about money, cars and crap, songs like Changes and Dear Mama can melt your heart. =P

 

[Whisper]

No; it shows that you appreciate good music and lyrics with actual content.

 

[anxi80]

no, not until you get 'thug life' tatted across your abdomen like him.

He talks about love (do for love), pain (no more tears), death (how long will they mourn me), life (to live and die in LA), sex/pleasure (Heaven Ain't Hard 2 Find), mom (dear mama), Californ-I-A (California Love), Hate (Hit 'em Up), etc....

His body of work is so diverse and covers many subjects of contemporary culture, and the plight of being a black male in a white society.

I was listening to 2pac all last night:

1. Thugz Mansion (Acoustic version w/ Naz)
2. Holler if Ya Hear Me
3. My Block
4. This Ain't Living
5. Thug N You Thug N Me
6. When we Ride on Our Enemies


My Block:

"What can we do when we are arrested? But open fire. Life in the pen ain't for me cause I'd rather die. The only time they notice a nig*a is when he's clutching on a 45."


The man had a ton of talent. He lived the ghetto life and sang the dispair the young black man goes through on a daily basis.

 

[Ryuson99]

and no one here can forget "Baby don't cry".


Edit: I don't think lisiting to rap makes you a thug is your way of life that does. I don't consider myself even tho I spend most my days in the streets and would fuckk up anybody that gets in my way.

i believe what you just said is conveyed really well in 'letter to my unborn (child)'.

I actually hear people bumping Tupac in their cars all the time.

 

[Twista]
