No swearing at all please. Try and keep txt speak to a minimum please too.

Culli, I believe the word you are looking for is crapper, named after Thomas Crapper who invented the mechanised toilet.

Sorry, but where I live everyone uses the word 'shitter'

Sorry, misunderstanding on my part. The term is certainly not used often in Charlton.

We certainly use it all the time where i am,

On Topic:How do you know somebody exits if you have never met them?

Im Pretty sure Tupac is dead and it is said he had recorded so much stuff at home which nobody knew about and now they are releasing it.

So he even recorded a song which mentions the 9/11 happenings, funny aint it...even has an album called 'Death Faker' I believe?

Ok, that is quite funny, not only was he a rap artist but could predict the future!



Anyway, i didnt know that much about Tupac but for all we know he could be like that canoeist in the UK.

Canoeist

Definately Alive!

I hate how he's called as being back from the dead (the canoeist), he was never dead, that's the point of committing life insurance fraud!

There was no moon landing and Tupac Shakur is dead.

Yeah, dead. But how,why,?

I don't get whats so special about him tbh, whenever you say 'Tupacs crap' you get a pack of barbarians running to hunt you down and kill you. Why? Is it because he's dead or what?

Owen Hearts dead people still call him nugget.

You don't listen to his music obviously, or simply don't understand his lyrics.

I understand why people liked Tupac, but then again i don't, i dont see why some people are so "in love," with him.

See my comment to Punk.

he did not fake his death, man get real. He holds a record of selling the most Hip Hop albums, people like him. Have some respect.
We are talking about real People Ryn .

He might have, there is enough evidence/theories/facts to base a judgment saying that he did fake his death. I don't think so but.

Ryu not Ryn

Well from what I've read it doesn't sound like he's dead for example it was on CNN news that he magically just turned up at a shopping mall with Dr.Dre and was shopping around like nothing happened...

I still can't see how I'm not respecting him even though I only like 2 possibly 1 of his songs.

OMFG, don't beleive that crap. That was a hoax made a few days after April Fool's day. No evidence and that. If he really was seen, don't you think there would be people rushing to him, taking pictures and all that?

All rappers rap about what their backgrounds were like nothing new there. Just because they don't have a song about being black or white doesnt mean they think less of other races.

Sure good thing to try help young kids who are influenced by rap but the only problem is many people have tried to help this matter but non of them suceeded or will ever suceed in the slightest.

Yeah, but his background was special and he portrayed it perfectly through his lyrics and songs. Other rappers have tried to do the same and just can't pull it off as well as Pac did.

Heres a song I am listening to as we speak - Heavy in the Game. Read this:

I'm just a young black male, cursed since my birth
Had to turn to crack sales, if worse come to worse
Headed for them packed, jails, or maybe it's a hearse
My only way to stack mail, is out here doin dirt
Made my decisions do or die, been hustlin since junior high
No time for askin why, gettin high, gettin mine
Put away my nine, cause these times call for four-five sales
cause life is hell and everybody dies

If you knew rap, then you would rate that.

Music has a lot of influence on what people do, you cannot deny that whilst it can motivate and influence some to crime etc, that it cannot do the same to driving people away from these things?

Rap/Hip/Hop/Traditionally black music has in fact turned many children in socio-economically deprived areas away from crime and into an industry in which they can become a success. I won't argue with you that some don't deserve it, because some do simply glorify gun crime, homophobia, sexual abuse however you cannot deny anyone freedom of speech.

I won't endorse the views of anyone who is a bigotted, racist or a homophobe but I would not take his right of freedom of speech away, it's one of the small amount of values that keep us on a level in society and that keeps society from ebbing away.

Personally, I think being influenced by music is the same as being influenced by film etc. Those cases in which children are infulenced by films they really shouldn't have been being outside the age catagory set. Jamie Bulger was tragically killed because some children just into their teens saw a film glorifying murder and child abuse. I'm not saying that people shouldn't get influenced by a normal, balanced person won't. It's the one reason these restrains on the industry exist. I realise Children can get their hands on 18 films when they're a lot younger, but I dont see a problem with it mostly. It's proven that only people with mental instability and the very young are influenced by what they see and hear. People who are mental instable is an obvious case, but children so young that they haven't been able to grow into a set of moral of what is right and wrong is another story.

Whilst I'm not a great listener to rap/hip/hop whatever, I don't think there are "Tonnes of Legends" legends is very much an overused word. Very much. Tupac was a legend. He was someone who came from nothing into being a success preaching to people about how to drag themselves away from crime and the poverty line. Tupac actually didn't want to be involved in the whole East Coast/West Coast violence that ensude because of record labels squaring off, he really didn't, but like everyone else around the areas at the time he was dragging into it and he couldn't get away.

Anyway, there is conclusive enough evidence that he is dead. His DNA matches that of the body they found, it looked exactly the same. The body had the same tattoo's etc. It's a closed case, but like most incidents it's only takes one person who heavily doesn't want to believe in their death for one reason or another to be able to spring a story that others will pick upon as blind faith, it's why people believe in religion. A vast majority of people want to be lead by things they don't understand and cannt prove conclusively. Blind faith is a very powerful thing, but Tupac is dead.

Pretty good post.

I think he is a legend. A legend before he was 26. I think people fail to realize how young he actually was. At his age, in his prime rapping years, people didn't appreciate how good he was and how deep his thoughts were. Just look at people like 50 Cent, hes about 30 now. But he is an immature rich black man who just cares about making money...he is in no way a legend. Even though Tupac rapped about guns and violence it wasn't exactly glorifying it, he was just rapping about reality. His lyrics were powerful, his voice was powerful and his songs influenced a whole generation of music listeners and rappers. He deserves to be called a legend for what he has done for music/rap/the black community.

Tupac was a great singer but I think he get shoot by biggy or what ever he name was

Umm, I don't think so. Biggy wasn't in Vegas and is to much of a wuss to do it himself.

Thats a legend, take some reps.

Maybe Tupac is comitting Life Insurance Fraud aswell?

 

[Sureshot]

I can't see how Tupac is a legend given his vast criminal record and being known for having a temper. Convicted for sexual assault, hardly what legends do is it?
