-----------------------------
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.
We hope he would have but you never know. He was going to have to go back to jail if he survived the shooting. So you never know what that time locked up would have done
Their not judging just talking about their experiences
Izaak Williams I’m not excusing 2pacs bad behavior but u probably didn’t have the same struggle as Pac coming up.
pac would've been taking bubble batha with deon cole
All of Tupac peers at the same age! What were they all doing?
Crazy part is most people are playing a role anyway. And they don’t ever come out of character. They are the character. And they don’t even know where they got the script from.

This man dropped a jewel
🤔 True ✅
6:50 is when he talks about 2pac
Thanks lol this was a boring interview
Thanks 🙄😭
Thanks
DBurnTV people like you deserves all your desires in life....
Thanks bro
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.
PAC was not a gangster. He was a created imagine like backstreet Boys etc... they needed to sell records.
Not a product
But a understanding
@@MATTHEW_ORACLE He was a product, the gangster image was just to sell records therefore, product.
Thats called survival tactics... you adapt to your surroundings.. why would you act like a thug gangsta around Madonna & Janet Jackson??.. 😆... (think about it)... you act like thugs when around thugs..
“Makes Sense to Me”
King von too dude was goofy asl
When you feel cool with a person you drop your guard and just enjoy yourself. This tell me that Pac really liked him and feeled he was a good friend.
U*
Felt*
Feeled 😂
I actually thought that made the comment great lol.. feeled. Mjw is a scorp n pac a gem. We're instantly great friends until we beef.
Exactly
6:43 for 2Pac part
We need more people in this world like you
Pac is a fruity azz ballerina 🤣🧚♀️😜🧚♀️🤣🧚♀️😜
you, sir, are a man's man.
Thank you
Took hrs tryna reach your comment
Pac had such a diverse upbringing he had to learn how to interact efficiently with all races. That's one of the keys to his success I believe.
I agree
This is underrated af. This is crucial to being successful in America. The only thing is dont sell out but you gotta adapt.
Random Dude
It's more to do with the fact that he studied acting. He went to performing arts school. To me it's obvious when I watch him in interview footage that he was putting on an act a lot of the time.
Nothing to do with race...MJW is black
You got it bro
I've seen people do that before. It's a shield. It's a protection thing.
@S K What's "fugazi"?
@@TellMeWhenThisiSFinish fake
@@TellMeWhenThisiSFinish it’s aaaa fugazi
Ye cuz black people be sayin “oh you not black” if you don’t act a certain way that’s prolly why he acted that way.
I'm the same way but with just strangers vs friends, in public I'll walk around all tense but then I'll see a friend and act way "goofier" my friends always say "why do you try to look cool in front of people?" while in my head I'm thinking of ways to escape or kill someone if they try something 💀
I love how most of the people in the comment section have input on 2Pac's life despite not ever meeting him.
Exactly smh. Most of these bitches wouldn’t last one day in his shoes
@@TheNadroj10 pac wasn't above nobody
I don’t think this guy really knew him. Because you hang out with someone a few times don’t mean you know them.
He was a CIA operative. Remember his back story. His mammy was in CIA custody and gave him and his twin Delmar up to be MK programmed
lou will you sound lost and miserable
"So you used ta hang out with 2Pac!"
"Yeah man lemme tell you alot about my skills in pool!"
😂😂😂 man unlisten that part
Wait he said that ??? 😂🤦🏽♂️
😂😂 Thought I'd fast-forwarded the clip somewhere
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Tupac knew there was a time and place for everything
He learned that from acting and Shakespeare plays. Probably even those ballet classes too. Not knocking him just stating possible reasons why his personality was so versatile. Now we go to DMX. He was who he was no matter who was around.
Perfectly said
Na he was just not like that he was truly a nice guy he wasn't Gangsta he adapted to hanging around sure and the gang
If he knew there was a time and place for everything then he’d still be alive wtfytb
@@jbaru648 speak to em man they have 0 common sense
I act different around my Mamma, then I do in the hood. If I'm on an interview ima act different too, I thought everybody did that. People are 3 dimensional. Like if I'm playing wit my little daughters, I aint gonna be acting all hood wit, when I wit my boys I'm different. And if I'm around a bunch of squares at work, I'm not gonna act like as if I was with my boys. I thought that was normal.
You said a mouth full then 💯🖤😈
Exactly
"I act different around my Mamma, then I do in the hood."
Then you're fake af Just like tutupac. End of story. Tired of people caping for him
@@jonathanjohnson9611 Bless you Brother. Love!! Breathe. Relax, its gonna be okay
@@qadamrawchaa8192 Nah you mad you got exposed
Not really sure why anyone didn't see the fun side of Pac, there is tons of videos showing him playing around with a kid on the streets he just met and messing around. He always seemed like a fun person, he just wasn't very kind to people who try to have him killed
so true....some of them ranting that because they heard he was fun, that's he is a fake etc....
It's crazy how all those people were around Pac and nobody rocked for Him after He got killed for riding with them MOB Pirus.. just like how Malcolm X got murdered and all those Muslims just let the killer live a regular life
@@dgod4542 The situation with Malcolm X is an unbelievable cover up and everybody involved was treated like they were heroes by the nation of Islam because they didn't like that you switched sides to what he believed was the real Islam. I think for the government his death was like hitting two birds with one stone in As for Pac, it was heavy gang activitythat would have to be taken care of and none of the people around him that we're really close were involved in anything like that, I'm sure they would have taken care of somebody if they knew they can get the killer.
@@dgod4542 Police killed Tupac, most of the Mob Pirus were taken out too
Some people only remember him as the thug life rebel who had beef with biggie. And that's it. Which is sad
I can see Glad mouth watering up soon as Mike started talking about 2pac
Glad lmao
Facts
That man's mouth wasn't watering, that was precum
Lol chill bro......lol
😂😂😂😂😂
2pac said it himself " there a 2 sides to 2pac" he has his harsh side and a sensitive side. He can live in both worlds he can speak to you on a buisness level or he can speak on a street level...he wasnt a actor or fakeing it.. he was just a unique individual..smart n sophisticated or be on some real street shit.
R.i.p mr shakur
Fuck 2 pac , B.I.G. the real king of 90s gasta rap
@@mk-ultra1850 nobody talked about biggie, what the fuck you want?
10000. These comments are lit.
@Michael Semon yes sadly he had to own the g image
So you saying he was a schizophrenic? Or bi polar?
“Blood And Bone” was my favorite Michael Jai White movie.
Bloody Bone is mine.
It's called code switching and every black man should learn how to do it. Let Tupac rest Glad.
It's was called fake and phony back in the day.
@@janepatton8100 Thank you 👏👏 I know that the Tupac fan boys are going to be mad.
Nah its called act thug n thug shit will happen to you. Be yourself folks
Lmbo...word
Deshawn P man stfu he was a human just like us.Pac lived what he rapped stop hating fr.He rapped about shooting police and he did it so stop wit the 🧢
Headline should be, "Tupac was a born actor." Pac would probably won awards for best actor one day. He was that talented and impactful as a human being.
He actually was supposed to be in a movie in 1995 or 94 if I’m not mistaken but he yeah he was supposed to be in a movie but he got locked up so he couldn’t of done the movie.
The critics were raving after Juice came out.
Baller you say that like he doesn’t have any movies out 😂
Steven Swan no I’m just saying he was in a lot of movies but the movie he was supposed to be in he wasn’t in and I had wanted to see him in that movie.
Baller I heard he was supposed to be in Menace II Society but got dropped. That would’ve been dope
A lot of emotional simple minded ppl are missing Michael's point here.
Sound like he's describing Caribbean parents with their different phone voices lol
Yeah mate. Or Irish. Mum was Irish dad was Jamaican on the phone they'd sound like the Queen or King of England meanwhile I was raised in Manchester!😂😂😂💗
Hearing him pronounce snooker as "snuka" makes me imagine Jimmy Superfly diving onto the pool table.
@boss status woah, that's an unprecedented escalation.
Tha_Blk_Bih_Destroyah_2020 it’s Snooker 🤦🏾♂️
That is a underrated comment lol,exactly what I was thinking too 🤣
Michael Jai must have watched TK Kirkland stories on Vlad and was like "aite... hold my beer"
Right and bill Gates was in his glee Club
Probably “hold my protein shake”
LIke TK, MJW got receipts.
Hes authentic though...ppl like him and TK r just solid dudes. Ppl respect them behind the scenes so they move differently. It's not for clout. Its fir THEM!! I LOVE THEIR STORIES
Tupac said it best they fear me in the physical form but they would talk about me when I'm gone.
Michael jai white would literally knock 2pac into the next century lol
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.
MJW seems like that one dad/uncle who'd say, "oh you think you a man now? put these gloves on youngin"
Before the age of 25 I made immature decisions- because I was immature!!! Ofcourse Tupac made mistakes he died when he was young but if he had matured just imagine what he would of become
He wouldn't had lived because "they" would of taken him out, regardless. 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."
Broke
Probably would've went back to prison. he was out on bail so that whole ordeal would've sent him back. Then he would've got out stuck to acting and kicked jill Scott down a flight of stairs in a Tyler perry movie🤣..no one knows what would've been
@@denniswise1460 highly doubtful. Even if he went back to prison, he would have starred in many high production movies after his release. People forget that Pac was a way better actor then Will Smith and Vin Diesel before he passed. Will only progressed with the years, Pac already had the talent since his first movie. He would have commanded top dollar by 2005.
6ix9ine was young too so does he get a pass?
That’s always one of my gripes with 2pac. He put himself in that gangster box when it was clear he was a lot smarter than that
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.
MJW gives TK Kirkland a run for his money with the stories lol 🔥🔥🔥
😂😂
Lord Frieza Christ Pac was in too Deep tryna be street it was no way to escape
Real shit😂
I think y’all forget just how old he is. He’s in his 50s and TK is in his 60s. When you have early sustained success, experience comes with it
He was still a young man trying to find his way , and if he lived long enough to find it damn we would’ve seen some shit
He is an actor trained int the art. Celebs fake their death to be immortal
He found his way y’all just didn’t listen 😂💀🤦♂️🙄.
chavez no y'all just don't wanna believe it
What I mean is pac probably wasn’t gonna make all the changes he wanted to make through rap eventually with time I think he prob would’ve been in politics or something where he could make changes from the inside he had a bigger plan that’s my point
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.
He was in performance arts school then grew up in hoods in Baltimore and Oakland. I'm the same way, its not fakeness it's just being well versed in many cultures.
Exactly! And pac said himself when he say he a gangsta or thug he mean that as in he survived poverty and made it out not robbing or shooting mfs people ran with that stereotype of those words.
@@cavelmordica3645 we need these two comments pinned because the disrespect is sad
I'm the same but also survived being in heavy gang activity and other things I'm not proud of. When I lived in Cali, Greg b.k.a Shock " G " told me I remind him of Pace alot but I was different in soul, having 2. Love those brothas.. May they Rest In Power. 🖤💯❤️🙏🏿💯
People act like all gangsters have that lone side, that’s it. It’s gangster 24/7/365 at your mom’s funeral, at yo first child’s birth, at your wedding. Like no. He had multiple sides. All passionate and real, he was extremely human.
Bishop M nah. He was Extra.
@@Heirllionaire that's that Gemini lol the definition of extra
Aandunno He did more shit being extra and dead at 25 than you ever will.
Tupac was a actor,acting all hard and shut, lol, that really wasn't who he was, he played that gangsta role up until his death, and fans claim he was real, very sad if you ask me
@@deanwinchester8042 why are you emotional over a celebrity? 2Pac obviously subjected himself to an identity that he wasn't when he could've been something else.
I wish people would let 2pac and others just rest. Title is misleading as usual
If people would let Pac alone, then his legacy wouldn’t be as big as it be today. Be glad people call shit on him, because regardless the mass will defend him and that’s what counts
Factz bro shit ridiculous they only say his name for attention
In his words "God bless the deads" show why we should let the dead be and not mouthing negativity on their names!
You ain't lying! Dude has nothing to do with the people he's interviewing..
BLACK BULL I been saying the same thing. Bc pac was about his people.
Pac never made his bones in the streets (I'm not saying that this was good/bad thing)..He was an incredible talent..He enjoyed playing that Thug Role..Payed the ultimate price to try and live up to that image...
Suge Knight was his down fall, when he brought in the MOB bloods into Death Row
This man is so under-rated. Has it completely together, is the freekin man, no drama, never had any drama but that don't get you to the "top" sadly.
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"
🤝🏾💯💯💯 You spoke a word! I agree with your statement entirely. Couldn't have said it better myself. Smh.
Preach brother ✊salute I don't like it either bro if u can't uplift the man in a positive way dont speak on it brothers always bringing each other down with the gangsta this gangsta that shit let the man rest n peace most the people speaking down on him will never reach his status/level of stardom period Pac was for the people✊
Who killed him is debatable it could of been white people for all we know and I’m 25
Real shit!
Dude he was an effeminate privileged teen that went to an uppity performance art school. I've seen the interviews!
Why do people focus on this part of tupac, if he was a gangsta or not? Who cares, i care more about his revolutionary words. His speeches, his poems, his music. His interviews are amazing, i mean just listen to what the man says for gods sake. Why do people do people try to push this "he was a fake gangsta" narrative. 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. Tupac was someone that would stand up for himself.
Bc we can tf u mean
They speak on the many facets that the man exhibited & you question them? Why?
@Mars King exactly.
@Mars King You are talking about someone that shot two off duty cops to save a black guy that was getting beaten up. That is the realist shit ever, why do niggas skip this part of his story lol
Pac was a fruity ballerina who got slumped by a real street crip..end of story 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️
People act like he is saying something wrong or foul about Tupac when he's simply giving his experiences and observations of when he was with Tupac. Tupac was not a one dimensional person and I don't know anyone who is. Furthermore, Tupac was not someone to worship as if he could do no wrong or as if he was some perfect, hard rock thug savior.
He didn’t say shit about pac that Pac basically never said about himself, being torn between his image and who he really is, but I guess vlad viewers believe hype.
U must feel good
vladtv viewers are idiots and nothing but tupac haters. Pathetic
Which was the most odd, because he had reached a level where he could have chosen to be who he really was...and he didn't.

Imagine vlad talking with Pac that will be dope mehnn!!
vlad the last nigga i wanna see interview tupac bruh thats a goat
Tupac really was from the hood hood. But he also knew how to articulate himself to normal society. He shop two cops enough said. Don’t get no more gangster than that especially defending your own people from racists. PAC was a true G
Fake news. You have no clue where that industry plant was from.
Pac was from the ballet school of the arts and got slumped in every hood
HAITIAN PRIEST that a Haitian brother could say something about another black brother who was fighting for other people hurts my soul..
tazzz33 All skin folk ain’t kin folks!!
tazzz33 How do you know what my race is? Do you have any idea how foolish you look, sticking up for ballet dancing Tupac? FOH with that nonsense.
As Black men (especially black men in violent neighborhoods), we develop a threatening feeling around men of our own race. Tupac may not have been putting on an act, but might have been intimidated by men of his own race which is a common product of living in the hood.
Tupac to me seemed very authentic and not phony enough to put on a show just for the purpose of being the "cool gangsta black guy" 🤷🏽♂️
Facts
Oh that’s not just me?
She would see his softer side. Gangsters Tone it down for women, but you wouldn’t know would you?
Tupac wasn't from the hood. He was a lower middle class kid who went to art school.
Kyokuji FGC Actually, Tupac was from the hood. The only difference is that Tupac was not as gangsta the way people made him out to be. I believe that people get being a gangster and not being a punk mixed up.
My accent changes depending on whom I’m around 😂 I don’t know why but it just does. Accent and all
It’s because you are insecure to be yourself
Its called "playing to a crowd" he shows different aspects of his personality when different people come around.

@@johnjackson4100 LMAO 🤣🤣
I think a lot of people really forget that tupac was very young during his career and died at 25 so maybe he looks immature now while a lot of his so called friends are mature now and in their 40 and 50s. I mean people love the talk shit about pac but a lot of the shit that went on in his career was when he was in his early 20s lol between the age of 20 to 25.The pac people need to remember is the black activist and revolutionary side of him.
Facts!
Why can’t we remember thug life pac? That’s who was mostly in front on the camera
@Cliff Booth I never said tupac was a gangster, i know he wasn't a killer or out there catching bodies and shit but do you actually think tupac grew up a rich in the suburbs or something lmao. He was from the hood and moved from hood to hood. He hung out with thugs, baltimore and oakland are not sweet places.
@Cliff Booth i think him doing pseudo revolutionary records was a result of him trying to make it in the early 90s were revolutionary was the thing to be. Just like him acting gangster which was the thing to be in the mid 90s. In reality he was a full blooded artist, destined to be on top of hip-hop, no matter what direction hip-hop was going at that time, he would act accordingly what was cool at the time he would do his take on it and be on top.
@Cliff Booth sometimes you just have to give the baby their bottle
Gangsta is being able to do whatever it takes and by any means necessary to provide and protect your family (people)
Hell yeah it is
I feel like almost everyone can relate. Its all about comfort level amongst yourself and people around you. There are people I can be extremely free and goofy around without a care in the world. Also, there those such as strangers and people I don't know too well which you could argue the same as strangers that I tend to be much more cautious and alert by to the point I'm tensed. I think anyone can relate
Damn, so he couldn't be a hood nerd? People are multi-dimensional and just because he knows how to be more than one way doesn't mean that he's putting up a front
Exactly bro, people think you have to be linear as fuck to be normal
A hood nerd is just a nerd from the hood. Being from the hood just means you grew up there thats it. It doesnt make you a gangsta.
@@seyl717 I've NEVER heard a "hood" dude use the word "linear" in any context. That hood dude would call anybody thats not female lame/gay for using it in his vicinity.
Welp, he was a ghetto fruity ballerina
exactly, tupac just had a lot of sides to him. That doesn't make him fake at all. I dont understand what michael jai is trying to say here
It's not about being an actor or fake...it's about having good communication skills and knowing how to speak in order to best reach the particular audience you're speaking too. It's actually a sign of intelligence.
wow
exactly, but notice these uneducated, "never made it" people don't realize that, which is why they're still getting into confrontations at fast food restaurants and gas stations.
50’s the same way. He can hang in the hood with the grimiest dudes or be in the billionaires board room and give a business plan to land a deal. 50 was really bout it though in the streets but Tupac was also very smart too
Intelligence is known as the ability to adapt to environment. So that makes Tupac highly intelligent
but he was an actor and a fake
It's sad because, some people are not allowed to be themselves due to the environment their in.
Real shit
2pac was also a Gemini they usually know how to adapt in any situation
Oh piss off ahaha

Dave Chappelle's Mother said it best:
"Sometimes you have to be a LION to be the LAMB you truly are."
2pac was a REAL ONE, that can mean many things, (I don't know too many people that would shoot at the police over abuse of yet another black man).
He was a poet and philosopher express through rap music and culture, he stood for something and his People and how society treated us unfairly and unjustifiably throughout history.
2pac is one of the great ones.
Indeed,Indeed
Respectfully, Pac didn't know they were police officers until after the fact.
Well written
I agree 100 percent
@@bigacellc8802 True but even so, once we or he found out, it made it even more heroic. It also expose corruption and abuse of power. I would assume good samaritan laws that would've protected him. Either way he step in when others wouldve hesitated.
Appreciate your reply.
The man was in his early 20s and the way they described him like he was over 40 years old! The man was basically a talented kid with a lots of energy!!
Napoleon exposed this clown. White got mad cause Pac clowned him. He still salty AF.
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.
Hmm!! Profound. He was a kid! Never thought of it that eay. Well said. 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

Well said. Respect to 👑 Pac
Facts 💯 articulated words
This some BS. Tupac grew up in the ghetto but read books. He could relate to intellectuals and he could relate to thugs. He wasn’t acting, just showing different parts of him.
Dude took ballet classes, what part of gangsta is that? Dude was part of the Digital Underground doing the Humpty hump dance, stop it.
@@TiVo2Go so you have to be uneducated and uncultured to be a gangsta? Oh now I see how it works. Smh. You watch to much TV.
Tupac went to school for the arts here in Baltimore for acting, ain’t no hood nigga in my city trying to be an actor lmao
@@MrNickfuse007 so Jada Pinkett doesn't count? Stop trolling.
@@TiVo2Go Shooting 2 racist cops to protect your own is more gangsta then anything most gangsters do who gives a fuck if he danced the dude hustled his way to the top there's no shame in that.
I grew up in the 90s Pac was an idol & role model for us growing up. Black, White didn't matter. 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. I still remember exactly what I was doing when I found out he passed.
What were u doing?
Facts. There was nobody better than PAC back then, and even now, IMO, still ain’t nobody come close to him.
He spoke to the black women. and men
His music was for blacks he even said that.
@@ginrummy426 I was on the steps of my apartment building with 2 of my buds and a girlfriend of mine came out in tears and told me. Bummed me out.
Tupac was a chameleon he knew how to blend in with different people. Drake is another one he's so good at blending in with different people.
Its called being fake
@@paulcarpenter7844 no
Tupac was super feminine.Go watch that interview he did in high school.He might’ve been gay too.The whole gangsta thing was an act.
Vlad never talks about his own culture and people
U see them everyday 👮 duh
Joos?
@Isaac Williams nah he just wants to be a kinky top like u hes uncomfortable in his own skin
He doesn’t have any or know shit about them
Yep. Jews never talk about their people. They just exploit others besides them.
Any gangsta can switch it depends on the respect they have for the person
Tupac wasnt a gangsta he said it himself.
The thing is... Pac wasn’t a gangsta. He acted like one
Sounds like he was insecure, who switches character when niggas come in the room ? he wanted to show them he was hard, I can understand tryna please someone who's paying u
kazer 365 exactly! Only smart people understand this!
Mike, met you on a plane 10 years ago, I didn't want to bother you and I said hi but its so great that you are and always have been grounded, senpai 🙏🏽 respect
The two completely different voice levels that you didn’t fix in postproduction are killing me.
Man I hate how ppl always say Tupac was acting out that role of Bishop after the movie. He was a fun guy that laughed and joked like everybody else, but situations in his life that he had to deal with didn't call for that same fun type of guy. He adapted to his situations accordingly.
I find myself and brothers doing that, when potential threats came around they would turn a switch to either protect me or eachother. It definitely matters where you come from
@@edmondt848 lol I don't know if you're being genuine, man who thought rosey could beat floyd in boxing
What changed Pac was when those cops assaulted him. People don’t like to talk
About that.
This is true but getting shot really fucked with him, really.
You know Pac had a big my mouth and he hid behind a gang or being a revolutionary
lol pac was a actor first never forget that he went to that school of arts which is all transgender
It was a few things that incident because when he George Jefferson bopped out of court when he beat that case he had a target on his back then that chick falsely accused him of rape then right after that his so called friends robbed him he was paranoid and scared he didn’t know who to trust
And then that rape allegation made him more hateful.. And we're talking about a 23/24 year old here, he was a kid still trying to find his way.
You could tell in alot of pacs interviews and music videos and movies that he was a chameleon. He could blend into any setting. To me,That's some gangsta shit.
Micheal swear he hard and can kick everybody ass. I love to see dudes like him beat down
I mean aint dat hw u supposed to think
Ask 10 diff people who Pac was and get 20 diff answers lol...nothing wrong with that! 2Pac was so many things, to so many people
Jesus is Fake sounds like you knew the man
Tupac was a gay actor.
If 20 people say something else he is a fake af
@@ricardolucas6006 facts
What that says more then anything is that none of these people knew who he was but are all begging friend.
I think Michael was hanging out with Omar epps and he thought it was pac!🤣😂🤣😂
Lmbo
Lmaooooo
1:50 there goes Vlad .... tryna get people to tell again 😂
Sounds like Tupac was a young black man with other worldly talents and self awareness. May he rest in peace for ever.
He talked about him & Rick James hustling people in pool before.
....relevance? so in other words this guy likes telling stories about dead people, who aren't here to agree or disagree with him. seems like a bitch move. smarten up, lemming.
Bryce Clemons be easy that's a old person syndrome they always repeat themselves....
Was Uncle Phil there?
Sinethemba Ngundana Yes. That was pretty much my point. Plus Vlad didn’t seem to catch it and just run the “Flashback” footage he usually does in those situations. (They’re both getting up there n the years). 👴🏻👴🏾 😂
@Nathaniel Baxter Yup Bingo..ANYBODY that was In their 20's when he got Killed is SHOCKED at how he is perceived today..he said NOTHING that surprised US.
Tupac was far from a stone cold killer, but people act like “Gangsters” never smile, play, laugh, love, cry, etc. Lol you usually don’t get close enough to them to see that side..The pull pranks, play madden, & have feelings like the rest of us, some times more
one of the most sensible comment i read....all MJW was saying there is a side to tupac that most people don't see or know, and he find people he can really be comfortable around and be his actual self, some comments acting up like if they ever met him in person, or like it's a crime to have different sides of you....when i am out with some people i am way too fun, with some others i act differently , i don't mean i am fake it means i can adjust to be around the people i choose to hang with, some of them act like tupac can't be goofy just gangster...then how the hell he act in movies?...gangsters don't act in movies
Biz boy 😂😂😂you pac fans are bugged out, numerous people from back then said that gangster shit wasn’t really pac, and he put on that persona to sell records.
@@6thbr871 shooting two police is pretty gangster beating up an unarmed black man is pretty gangster.
Kbizzy 1 If gangsta means acting ignorant all the time then no, he wasn’t a gangsta.
@@6thbr871 so i guess you're a troll ..ook, so what if he wasn't a gangster,,...how that becomes a bad thing??
There was literally a pool game hustle in the hood episode in Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I guess that stuff was really going on lol
i been saying that for years and 2pac fans get mad LMAO... pac was suuuper talented he was also an actor, and the thug deal was a character
People seems to forget that 2Pac was an educated poet in high school !
Clockwork yessir. He wasn't a gangsta at all but He was a poetic ballerina
Lucifer PitchBlack Pac was a revolutionary, but he did shoot two off duty police officers
Let's be logical 🤔
Everyone wears a mask.
Some are more extreme than others.
We do it for: jobs, opportunities, relationships, etc.
Just means 2Pac was versatile💯
It's also very Gemini to be that adaptable and to be able to transition so fluidly from one part of yourself to the next especially in conversation
I hope this guy stays acting and doesnt get knocked out by a pro fighter
People just don’t understand what gangster is they think it’s being tough all the time. Bro I knew pac was gangsta when he shot a cop for a black man! These so called “real gangstas” never do that! But he also an intellect and have a great imiganatio. And like to have fun. 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. PAC values NEVER changed tho he always stood on what he believe that’s how u know he wasn’t faking and he did it in front of judges or cops when these so called gangsters ruck they tail against these white folks but wanna kill a black man.
What people don't know is the cops was undercover.
Im so glad I wasn't alone with that same type of thinking... My love for Tupac is because he was Pro black, then because he was political, then because he was an excellent rapper, and me being in my teens back then of course I love pac because of his gangster persona. Now keep in mind Tupac did all this all by the age of 25!! People can say what they want about Tupac not being a real gangster or whatever but they can never take his level of intelligence from him, they could never take that courage he had from him, they could never take his love for his people from him.
Malcolm Elmore what the hell are you talking about?
You ain’t miss with this one but people gon ignore it
Didnt he call out a bunch of "gangster" for killing a little girl too. The man was hardcore
What you also have to remember is...celebrity can be a prison.
When people see a celebrity, they expect them to act/walk/talk a certain way. If they don't, people can become disrespectful and rude. Putting up the "gnagsta" act keeps those people at bay.
You can only be "yourself" around those you trust.
Black people need to stop worshipping celebrities
@@ShotThroughKarl Yes it actually is quite terrible
Lol u are yourself conceptually choose to be who u are because that gangsta and that nice guy is all in one in you people have to just activate it 😂 yall stupid thinking someone gone be nice all day even with disrespect what are yall Christians ?? 🤣🤣
@@fredogee8108 They never will. It’s all they have. I look up to intellectuals and activists.
Yo Tupac would be younger than my grandmother and all her siblings if he were alive.
Everybody wanna talk about PAC's life💯💯
Pac lived 5 lifetimes in 25 years, never knew he and MJW hung and were cool. The man crossed paths and touched so many, I luv a new Pac story....
Pac impacted everyone he touched! What a legend!
Pac touched everyone in the LGBTQ community and the whole 9
Sam Rodgers pushing the narrative of 2pac beeing gay does not make you straight. Accept yourself already, get a real boyfriend and move on..
@@2pacisgay955 one of the best trolls I’ve seen
@@bakothegreat6986 thank you..I'm trying to go down in the trolling hall of fame lol
Moral of the story: Be yourself and don't be someone you're not to please others.
I get what Michael is saying Pac felt like he had to get in character around individuals. Me and a friend discussed this like maybe he was just playing a part all a long, but doesn’t take anything away from the man.
I do this too.. I ‘dumb it down’ when I visit the homies I grew up with in my home town, just to fit in...but in reality, I’m very smart with a high vocabulary and run a business, but I know the people I grew up with would consider that side of me lame. But It is what it is lol
Same way i feel I’m in college rn tho
They probably do the same thing with you
damn. that's a bloody shame that they do people like that. smh
Be urself , I come from the streets of Houston but was raised correctly by my father growing up. You don't have to change to be real!
I relate The homie mentality changes when you elevate
I dunno why but I can listen to homeboy tell stories for days.
He's been around.
Right
2pac wasnt all about thug life. He had a heart.
He wasnt about that shit at all
@@stoptellin33 what do you mean?
@@cheekboy7247 I mean he wasn’t pussy but most likely because he didn’t want to seem that way. He was all panther boy poetry then all of a sudden he want to be blooded out claiming LA, put mob up on his belly, jumpin Orlando who was a Crip. Pac got popped over a beef that was not even his
Michael Jai white doesn't sound weird hes just the straight forward masculine leader black man that doesn't have to act hard. Tupac was learning another way when he hung out with him. Just that the street life can put stress and peer pressure on you.
Being black educated and well spoken is a blessing believe that
So true.
Locc Dogg
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.
They don’t understand fam lol
Tony Garza Lol I feel where you’re coming from but we all got what bro meant though
But 2pac and biggie really was kids when they died , but for some reason they still seem older than me when i watch them talk
A real Bridgeport nigga right here, met him a few times very humble guy 💯💯
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.
Pac was victim of this 🌎 while trying to warn US through his music on how not to be.
Pac punched someone he shouldn’t have
Pac was a victim of the LGBTQ community with his fruity *** 🤣😜🤣😜
warn the world.
Lol
He punched someone having a friends back thats what people do i have done it almost cost me my life i neve claimed to be a gang member but my friend is my friend i wish someone would of stepped up for the man in Minnesota who was killed by cops
