I was listening to Tupac on the Throwback at Noon today. He seemed to one minute be really conscious with songs about uplifting black women and so on. Then, on the other hand he could be really aggressive and misogynistic and even did jail time for sexual assault.

What are your thoughts on Tupac?

He is certainly a classic Gemini in that he seemed to change drastically from one minute to the next

Tupac flip-flopped because he was a manic-depressive schizophrenic with delusions of grandeur and paranoid tendencies. You know....like Hitler.

Or, better yet--like you.

Shakspir, I will ignore your negative comment about me. As for Tupac, I do not recall hearing that he was ever diagnosed as manic depressive or schizophrenic. Are you claiming he had both disorders? Where did you get this information from? And as for Tupac having "delusions of grandeur" - please elaborate. I mean, he was pretty famous

Like most artists he went with whatever content would reward him the most success.

He went to prison because he watched a girl get ganged raped by his crew and did nothing to stop it. The girl blamed it all on him because he was a well known rap artist and wanted she to see him fall more than the other mofos who raped her.

Well. Had 'Pac been a REAL man in the situation, he probably wouldn't have ended up doing time.

He did do time. Until Suge Knight paid the million dollar bail that got him out.
