    -----------------------------
    In this clip, Michael Jai White talked about his deep respect for fighters. Michael said he believes there's a certain social cache that pugilists walk around with, giving them the ability to captivate any room. He explained that this respect for fighters is the reason he puts them in movies with the hopes that it can spark a post-fighting career. Later, Michael Jai White discussed some of his upcoming film projects and how independent filmmakers are working around the COVID-19 shutdowns.
    Michael Jai White went on to speak about his friendship with 2Pac and how 2Pac was able to let his guard down and be "goofy" with Michael when they would hang out, including playing pool. To hear more about Michael being a professional pool player and competing against celebrities with Rick James, hit the above clip.

    Man a lot of people forget that 2pac was only 25 when he died. People judge the way he was like he was some old man lol if 2pac lived longer, his ways would have changed lots like most men do.

    Tupac has goofy pics too, nobody is “hard” all the time everyone has a goofy side or a playful side. And they only show it to people they trust. You have to realize “gangsters” are still humans. Tupac was very intelligent and if you watch any of his interviews , he was really smart. He was just a product of his environment.

    Tupac had a pen pal that published a book years ago, and there's a letter in which he explained his life. Basically, he was on his way to college, but his mother became addicted to drugs and he couldn't go. He became involved with an older white woman who was in the music industry which got him a job as a roadie for Shock G and the Underground. Then they finally let him rap, and his music career began. But, Tupac was a nerd who just believed and became a character. But, it's sad that he felt and knew that he had to keep up appearances in the presence of black folks. Pretty sure it was a certain kind of black folks he had to maintain the character. Ice Cube is the same way, he was a quiet kid who graduated from Cal State Long Beach with an Architecture Degree. His mother was a teacher, and his producer said, he was surprised that when he walked into the studio he was a quiet kid, but when he got into the booth he became a different person.

The plans he had to unite minorities and go to different hoods across America to raise charity would of been too positive, too much for the you know who. A mature 2Pac would of been more powerful than Malcolm X and that's what they didn't want. He knew too much but we can too if we take the time to read and use the internet for building knowledge! Trust me, I think about that everyday too, but that falls in the category, "Too good to be true."

    I'm a friend, a son, a brother, a father, a husband, and an uncle. I act accordingly loving with my family, accordingly fun and caring with my friends, and even harsh when my kids need discipline. But if I perceive a threat to my wife and kids or someone I love, I become something entirely different from anything my family or friends would recognize. People are multifaceted and I myself am a bit of a chameleon to my environment as well. I'm not fake, but I change to suit my surroundings and it's not even on purpose. When I visit my family in Canada I find by the end of the trip I've developed the Anglicized brogue of Canadian accent. I'm from Northern California in the East bay so I have a very diverse set of friends and can go from a surfer NorCal dialect to a bit of homeboy from Richmond set of speech.

      Something to think about. Tupac died at 25 .....Malcolm X at 25 wasnt Malcolm X. He was "Red", and was in prison. Tupac was still young, and figuring out who he was. He was only scratching his true potential, which is crazy because he was a deep dude, sky was the limit. Unfortunately ,Death row Records was the worst situation for him ,and the rest is history. Then again if you believe in fate ,sadly Tupac was destined to go exactly the way he did.

    I recently seen EDI (Outlawz) response on this. What I will say is that MJW is not saying Pac was a "punk" or didn't have any street in him. What he was saying is that black men feel they have to put a hood "persona" for validation and respect, and not allowed to show so-called "nerdy" or "alternative" sides. Like many of us as kids, we had to hide the fact we like comics, anime, or science because it was considered lame.

    People make me laugh when they point this out about 2pac. He is from the hood, went through some of the worst shit but he was also educated. Everyone does this, they are not the same at work as they are at home but when it comes to him it's some crazy shit. Please black people stop this, you are ill too, how's that. It takes nothing from you to respect another man. You will not be discrediting yourself by giving credit where credit is due. Pac was 25 yrs old when he died, not a grandfather like most of the guys who speak on him and his character flaws. He came from the bottom and withing 5 to 6 years became a legend worldwide movies music activism and so on. He had no problem with giving it up as a man and he was for the people. It's because of his own people hes no longer here, because mf hate with a passion. He told you he never had a record till he got a record deal, talked about getting his skinny ass whooped in the street. Worst thing about all of this is he repped for his people hard and this is what they do when they get a platform to speak on him. They point out character flaws in a 25 yr old as if these same flaws are not common amongst human beings. From ice t, this dude and most people who supposedly had love for him. Now hes not gangsta, he was just an actor playing a roll our here getting falsely charged with rape, set up by known gangsters got shot left hospital that same night, court next morning, sentenced no snitching bailed out put all these rappers to sleep luckily when he died they all were able to drop their albums and breathe again but in his own words "brothers talk a lot of shit but that's after I'm gone / cuz They fear me in a physical form / let it be known, im troublesome"

Why are people trying to assasinate his character? The man never said he was a "gangsta", he even said he doesn't make gangsta rap music. The fact that people even know tupac did ballet in art school is because he put this out there himself lol, he never tried to hide this shit lmao. You don't have to be a gansgter to be man.

    A lot of people try too hard to fit into other peoples' expectations in their early 20s. Tupac died at 25. His life was that of a kid trying to figure shit out. It's just most who die young don't have their stories told 25 years later through the eyes of middle aged men.

      And to say Pac wasn't gangster is cutting it short. Maybe Pac wasn't Gangster, but his family? His mom was pregnant with him in prison. He came from a family of black panthers. Didn't his uncle go to jail for making bombs or something and didn't an aunt of his shoot a cop and flee to cuba? I dunno dude his family was kinda gangster. Yeah, Pac's mom hustled her ass off so he could go to art school and try to have a better life, but that was only because he came from a crazy place and his mom wanted something different. And not to bring up Biggie cause no one else did but Biggie wasn't gangster either. A lot of people who knew him as a kid deny that he ever sold crack as a kid. The dude wasn't into gangster shit at a young age either. To top it off the dude's mom denies them growing up hard. She too worked her ass off and they had it pretty good compared to a lot of people she says.

He could reach anybody going through something in life and you could feel that through his music, if you didn't grow up in that time you can't relate. He had that biblical like aura, His downfall was trying to live up to his Thug Life image he lived. The hole just got deeper and deeper & he paid the ultimate price.

All gangsters like that Malcolm x was a gangsta but he understood he had to dumb it down for his people every now and then. Huey same way. Not every personality black and white some people so intelligent and been apart of so many different situations they have different layers to themselves.

      You need to raise your standards. That is to be expected. White folks don’t have to say shit like this, because it is expected.

    It's called code switching. He grew up in many different places, including Marin and he also went to an art and performance school. He was around a lot of different cultures and people. Its basically speaking in different languages. You pick it up early. I do the same thing. Similar circumstances in my youth.
