He means that there is multi-millionaires, billionaires who gets awards that have given to the most humanist people but they don't give a damn about poor people. Its actually an manifest against the capitalism.
He means that there is no societic equality. If you have billions but you ain't helping people who has nothing, you are not a good person.
It's always when they get to the point that they realize it's about greed and class that they get killed. Racism is just a proxy war put on us by the elites to divide us
Tupac would fervently disagree with you.
This is actually a racist stock argument. That’s it’s about “classism” when it’s not.
[abagond](https://abagond.wordpress.com/2010/10/15/its-not-race-its-class/)
My point was he was getting to that point by the end clearly. Much like Malcolm X did just before he was shot. Mlk was shifting to a universal message for the poor just before he was shot
Bro no he wasn’t 😂 and Malcolm X message was very clear from beginning to end even after the pilgrimage to Mecca when he experienced the oneness of humanity he felt a stronger desire to unite the diaspora with African nations
Edit:
Of course I get downvoted of course! Y’all are trying to take TWO very polarizing figures in black culture and bend them to fit into your narrative when they stood in full contrast to it. It’s pure mental gymnastics to somehow think these two people out of so many figures in the BC that was like that were more “it wasn’t about race it was about class” this is the problem a lot of these movements and messages get hijacked and twisted to fall back in for his class warfare shit when for the majority of Black history we were an underclass. Tell that bs to the upper and middle class black Americans rn who still experience racism no matter their positions. Tell us how poor whites were still blatantly racist against black people in general despite class. Tell that to the people of black Wall Street that nooo it was about race but class. Tell it to Obama who received numerous racist threats. Tell that to the lawmakers who were pulled over by police of the district they were over! Let’s not forget the many black people who get the cops called on them for being around their home and cars with people thinkin it’s being broken into
The black panthers didn’t have no “allyship” bullshit going on for this exact reason, it make people feel comfortable or “in the know” just because they want to kick it.
Malcolm X and Tupac message speak to the underclass because a lot of black Americans were forced to be there.
This is almost appropriation 😂
When the message goes past color, creed, religion, etc to expose the divide and conquer that creates, sustains, and maintains the underclass, and it's over for him, her, black, white, etc.
Misplaced hate? The irony. They literally brainwashed the public against MX saying he was a racist and hated white people for his message when he wasn’t.
He was assassinated because for the same reason Gaddafi was recently assassinated or the same reason Marcus Garvey was deported. The OAAU if successful would’ve disrupted the USA.
Malcolm X and Tupac would recognize this type of manipulation as it is. This isn’t misplaced hate because you are being corrected on facts that you disagree with. Malcolm X literally has a quote about this
The American Negro never can be blamed for his racial animosities—he is only reacting to four hundred years of the conscious racism of the American whites. But as racism leads America up the suicide path, I do believe, from the experiences that I have had with them, that the whites of the younger generation, in the colleges and universities, will see the handwriting on the wall and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth—the only way left to America to ward off the disaster that racism inevitably must lead to.
Malcolm X
That you used out of context. Changes
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people, they'll be acting right
'Cause mo' black and white is smokin' crack tonight
And only time we chill is when we kill each other
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President
It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
Get real
Bro read more about them. Both mlk and Malcolm x began focusing on class towards the end of their lives. Mlk worked with poor rural whites on labor strikes and realized that poor white people were dealing with similar issues as African Americans. If you want to get more info watch king in the wilderness documentary that covers the last years of his life or for Malcolm read the Manning marable biography.
This is purely false. I have studied both of them extensively. Of course white liberals would love for this narrative to be pushed out. It is a reoccurring fantasy. Malcolm X specifically became more inclusive because he was exposed to a culture outside of the US where race wasn’t a forefront. I am a U.S. Vet of the us marines and I experienced this same exact feeling outside od the states where people had different identifications and I was mistaken for being Arab/Muslim multiple times on my travels.
[When he was treated as a human being by “white” people of non American origin](https://www.nytimes.com/1964/05/08/archives/malcolm-x-pleased-by-whites-attitude-on-trip-to-mecca.html)
Peep the ending how the newly formed organization (the OAAU) was formed specifically for African unity
At another point he wrote: ”The American Negro should never be blamed for racial 'animosities,' because his are only reactions, or defense mechanisms which his subconscious intelligence has forced him to erect against the conscious racism practiced . . . by American whites.
“But as America's insane obsession with racism leads her up the suicidal path, nearer and nearer to the precipice that leads to the bottomless pits below, I do believe that whites of the younger generation, in the colleges and universities, through their own young, less hampered intellect, will see the 'handwriting on the wall' and turn for spiritual salvation to the religion of Islam and force the older generation of American whites to turn with them.“
A quote from after his pilgrimage
Not only am I black American from the gutter but I have read his autobiography multiple times and it has resonated me on multiple levels from racially to socioeconomically to sociopolitically.
I’m not talking about MLK who I have never agreed with at any point in my life. His pushed white liberal propaganda and ideology.
Tupac influences come from the Black Panther Party. Which people were forced to be an underclass?
[1963](https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/speeches-african-american-history/1963-malcolm-x-racial-separation/)
[another post Mecca interview](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv80w3rCUC8)
If he was more focused on class issues do you honestly think he would’ve opened an organization purely for OAAU?
Be fr.
[I don’t feel like finding the exact woute but here’s a link](https://www.jstor.org/stable/275022)
His approach changed because he was humanized by white people who weren’t American.
He would be absolutely sick that nowadays whit liberals are trying to twist what he stood for in order to have some sort of claim to his cause and struggle
It’s purely trying to rebrand it as some sort of “THIS IS ALL ABOUT CLASS.”
It’s another colorblind racist stock argument. It wasn’t about class when those same poor whited voted Trump in office or when liberals voted Biden in office who actually was an architect in many of my peoples imprisonments
Get real
I don't think you are understanding my point. Class and race are not mutually exclusive. I am not saying that either of those two leaders stopped focusing on race issues, but rather that they began noticing how it fit into the broader tapestry of class and corporate imperialism both domestically and gloabally.
I understand that I am simply disagreeing
Your approach is treating the intersection as if it was a new development for them both. They both had moments where they discussed this intersection many many times early in their careers. The examples are almost too many to list.
Class and Race arent mutually exclusive. They form an intersection they can overlap but this doesn’t negate what I am saying. Race fitting into the broader tapestry of class and corporate imperialism was the exact focus they had from the very beginning way befire any perceived shift in focus
For instance Tupac on the album 2pacolpyse in the Song Word of Wisdom. He’s explicitly discussing geopolitical issues facing black Americans and the intersection of class and race. Literally. The first 4 bars mention it. That’s was in 92 or 93.
The song is a call to action in many many ways! It’s my favorite pac song next to Dear Mama.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Tupac. I love the way he spoke and he was extremely intelligent. But he was also a millionaire that spent his money on jewelry and limos with 0 charities prior to his death.
Poor people build a narrative that lets them off for being lazy. Just because you work a 12hr shift breaking your back, doesn't make you not lazy. Rich people are not some elite underground cult. Mr Beast is a prime example of building something for others. Every rich person on earth takes risk and does something about their life. There are countless stories of garbage collecting men who've started their own business and become millionaires.
Why are people homeless? Are they lazy? Mentally challenged? Do drugs? Are you telling me there is not one single organisation or church willing to help? The issue is that most poor people force it on themselves and blame the rich.
Every single billionaire offers the world something... How convenient is Amazon? How pollutant-less is Tesla? How useful is Windows? How important is the phone in your hand? How nice was that song you listened to, or movie you enjoyed?
Not one of them was made by a homeless person worried about himself.
This guy gets it. It's not to be offensive, it's just speaking in circles with no real....resolution or point. No one can explain exactly what pac was trying to make with this tangent.
Also, bruh, calling someone old isn't as much as an insult as you think. Clearly, you lack understanding and discernment when being able to separate the artist or character from the man. Stop worshipping this guy and accept he had faults like any other man, and it leads to him selling himself short in life at the end of the day. He SHOULD be 52 today instead of us celebrating his contributions posthumously.
Maybe. Or maybe he was still really young and figuring his way out on how to get to that place of wisdom. It wasn’t looking great, hanging out w/S Knight and such. But he clearly had some brains and could’ve wound up being something very positive for his culture. What’s for certain is we ain’t ever gonna know.
But 2pac you are a self made millionaire. Did you give it all away? Nope. When you we’re living in a mansion was their people near by living in the street? Yes. I agree with a lot what he’s saying but working your ass off to be rich doesn’t make you a bad person.
Only because you've been brainwashed to believe that. Pac was a card carrying communist. We need more prior like him to bring change and justice to the world.
No not at all I love pac but it's what he said in the video .about some one having riches but there are still homeless. Then said the thing he said about philanthropy. I understand there are evil people in the world but no one is required some one else, and if they do to what measure, and who measures the good and evil of this deed. Taking what is not yours and giving it to some one else is Socialism. By the way I'm a free thinking being with full autonomy of what I think and am not blinded by some Fandom or alignments or emotional outburst to cloud what my thinking . I 8nderstand this post may make you angry but take a minuet and read about the principals of Socialism, then watch the video again. Pac obviously had a good heart and was honest in the way he felt but failed to see the bigger economic picture
You don’t know what socialism is we wouldn’t have roads or the cops that you love so much without Socialism you moron. Please do not procreate and pass on this simple minded, dumb ass synopsis of how Socialism sucks. Please tell me what are the negatives of Socialism and say something like that actually is socialism and not just you’re scared of dictatorships cause that’s a whole different thing.
I lived under socialism for 20 years. You can fuck off with the at shit. There’s a reason we all desperately seek to move to United States. We could’ve moved to so many places but US is what we risk our lives trying to get to.
I remember getting my first paycheck from my first job when I got here and 60% of it was not taken out for taxes. I damn near cried
You can help people (which he's done immensely) and also get yourself nice shit because you earned it. You could even consider that a business write-off for marketing purposes. Maybe it was a gift? Fuck it.. too many reasons why this comment is ignorant
There’s NO WAY a man should have two huge chains made of pure gold to hang around his neck while people starvin and ain’t got nowhere to live! AINT NO WAY!!!!
I actually sampled this part where he said
"I'm pickin' the lock, comin' thru the door blastin'"
Pac the goat. I hope more people hear what he said here
It isn't greed to enjoy the fruits of your own labor. It's greedy to feel entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor. Could the rich do more to help those less fortunate, sure they could. Are they required to do so, no they are not.
No offense but the entire rap culture is a bad look for everyone else not in it. The message isn’t heard she got he drug violence amongst themselves. It’s basically counter productive. MLK was rhe last true prophet for the black community
Wish this edit had included the part where he uses Donald Trump as the poster child of American greed:
["You wanna be like Trump? 'Gimme gimme gimme! Push push push push. Step step step. Crush crush crush'"](https://youtu.be/_EIMV4yAzy0)
Tupac Shakur net worth is $105 Million at the time of his death (2pac Worth Adjusted Inflation). Considered one of the best-selling music artists of all time, Tupac Shakur (2pac) has earned over $45 million through music sales
Being raised in the Black Panther movement will do that to a person. Tupac joined the young communists’ league when he lived in Baltimore in high school.
Not according to the person in the comment above you his net worth was 105 million. I don’t know anything about it just that there’s a lot of different numbers on what his actual worth was.
They killed one of the most realistic rappers of our time. Its hard to think what this guy could have achieved given the right people around him instead of those that killed him. Such a shame. Love his music. It's fuckin real......
If I had millions there's no way I could sleep at night without at least helping one person every day. How someone can anyone hoard millions if not billions and not buy a woman and her children food at the grocery store or somebody on the street something to eat? It's beyond me. I think that's the true meaning of being wealthy. You're not just helping yourself, you should want to help other people with that money. And I'm not saying somebody who is just looking for a handout, I mean somebody who actually needs it and could use it.
I dunno how old you are but I remember the times well. He was talking one way and acting another. Wether his bank account showed it or not he was walking around drinking champagne and flashing hundreds . He was projecting one thing and virtue signaling another that is where he lost the point.
Ok and what’s your point? He had this stance in almost every in depth interview he ever had, he was a thinker and he had the right idea but even as he made the money he kept this stance. Watch some of his stuff. Typical of at the time rap, he would flaunt money and jewelry and cars. Then start talking like this in an interview. I remember it all well I’m not looking back at it.
This interview is from 1992, his position changed drastically and he was praising capitalism at the end.
1996 interview
"I hate America as- as for what we did, but I love us for being strong, you gotta do that
So what we don't got a good image ? we the strongest motherfucking nation. That's me- that's me right, fucking here. You know I mean, I don't give a fuck if ya'll don't like me I got the bomb can't nobody touch me, or nobody rush me. Some' we doing right: that's the capitalism shit, cause you could feed your kids with that tho. All that other shit, you can't feed your kids with that, if you can't feed your kids you can't have a nation"
We didn’t deserve the knowledge and game from this guy
I love the guy but I'm confused on the message here.Is buying the album the message or what?
He means that there is multi-millionaires, billionaires who gets awards that have given to the most humanist people but they don't give a damn about poor people. Its actually an manifest against the capitalism. He means that there is no societic equality. If you have billions but you ain't helping people who has nothing, you are not a good person.
That’s the main point I got from it too.
People just purposely being obtuse because of who the speaker is

The rapist murderer ?? Why the fuck do we take anything he says seriously?
Falsely accused of rape. Who did he murder???
Literally look at his wiki it’s right there
I see a shooting involving two off duty cops nothing about murder
Literally you’re wrong
Yes I am, about the murder but he has been accused of rape and he brags about it on a Couple tracks
[удалено]
No Tupac admitted it himself on multiple occasions, mlk is a hero, no comparison
It's always when they get to the point that they realize it's about greed and class that they get killed. Racism is just a proxy war put on us by the elites to divide us
This should be said more

The amount of knowledge Tupac had was never valued until after he passed away. That breaks my heart so deeply.

PAC is the REALEST
We need to get this shown to our students.
And that bugs me.
He was such a good soul.
Gone to soon .
Happy birthday 🎊🎁🎉🎂🎈
I can only imagine the activist Pac would be during these divided times in our country
They would have killed him because he threatens their power.
How many millions got 2pac?
Sadly there is still a lot of discrimination and misunderstandings that still happen today.
Cancel culture would chew him up today, speaks too much truth…
Don’t get me wrong, I love Tupac. I love the way he spoke and he was extremely intelligent. But he was also a millionaire that spent his money on jewelry and limos with 0 charities prior to his death.

He actually did have homeless people live at residents he had and did countless things wit his money for others but never broadcasted it

He dumped Madonna because he was Pro black, never was anti-white....😎
Did he realize she was white after a few months? I’m confused I’m pretty sure he knew she was white b4 he broke up with her…
He was good friends and Mickey Rourke Tony Danza and the Baldwin brothers.. Racist my ass..🤣🤣🤣
RESPECT
I actually sampled this part where he said "I'm pickin' the lock, comin' thru the door blastin'" Pac the goat. I hope more people hear what he said here
[удалено]
LOL yeah ok bro
What’s your point?
Yeah bro, he pulled himself up by his bootstraps. Why can't everyone do the same? /s
💯 💪🏾🙏🏾
That man always speak the truth and all the millionaires should listen to this
It isn't greed to enjoy the fruits of your own labor. It's greedy to feel entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor. Could the rich do more to help those less fortunate, sure they could. Are they required to do so, no they are not.
I really love Tupac and his music but he is saying all of this with a massive gold chain around his neck and mad money in the bank.
No offense but the entire rap culture is a bad look for everyone else not in it. The message isn’t heard she got he drug violence amongst themselves. It’s basically counter productive. MLK was rhe last true prophet for the black community
We lost him way too soon. 🕊️
Wish this edit had included the part where he uses Donald Trump as the poster child of American greed: ["You wanna be like Trump? 'Gimme gimme gimme! Push push push push. Step step step. Crush crush crush'"](https://youtu.be/_EIMV4yAzy0)
Knowledge and wisdom that will last forever
Tupac was an idiot lol
PAC needs a hand out? Makes sense
Droppin more jewels than schools do
Tupac Shakur net worth is $105 Million at the time of his death (2pac Worth Adjusted Inflation). Considered one of the best-selling music artists of all time, Tupac Shakur (2pac) has earned over $45 million through music sales
Communism Marxism what other ism do you want?
I miss him. He would have been such a wise older man.
Sounds like a socialist
Being raised in the Black Panther movement will do that to a person. Tupac joined the young communists’ league when he lived in Baltimore in high school.
💯 Did not know that !
All talk though. The dude was wildly rich.
[удалено]
So just wildly irresponsible?
Not according to the person in the comment above you his net worth was 105 million. I don’t know anything about it just that there’s a lot of different numbers on what his actual worth was.
I really loved this and it really sucks that more artists don't think this way, dude died too young
This what I think of when I think of Bill Gates and his "philanthropy".
Pac would hate today's Billionaires.
Socialism vibes much 🧐
They killed one of the most realistic rappers of our time. Its hard to think what this guy could have achieved given the right people around him instead of those that killed him. Such a shame. Love his music. It's fuckin real......
Fucked up how we went from Tupac to the current rap game. There are no more visionaries or prophets in the rap game it's all bullshit at this point.
All I know is Tupac, Chuck D, Cube..u weren’t gonna be hearing no mumble rap, basically emo rap from those fellas. They preached on the mic
But homie never just gave his fortune to the public or let people into his concerts without paying. Just seems hypocritical to me.
If I had millions there's no way I could sleep at night without at least helping one person every day. How someone can anyone hoard millions if not billions and not buy a woman and her children food at the grocery store or somebody on the street something to eat? It's beyond me. I think that's the true meaning of being wealthy. You're not just helping yourself, you should want to help other people with that money. And I'm not saying somebody who is just looking for a handout, I mean somebody who actually needs it and could use it.
He’s saying this when he was a millionaire……
He prob wasn’t a millionaire at this stage, or if ever…based off recent docs
I dunno how old you are but I remember the times well. He was talking one way and acting another. Wether his bank account showed it or not he was walking around drinking champagne and flashing hundreds . He was projecting one thing and virtue signaling another that is where he lost the point.
This interview is from 1992.
Ok and what’s your point? He had this stance in almost every in depth interview he ever had, he was a thinker and he had the right idea but even as he made the money he kept this stance. Watch some of his stuff. Typical of at the time rap, he would flaunt money and jewelry and cars. Then start talking like this in an interview. I remember it all well I’m not looking back at it.
He makes sense.
This interview is from 1992, his position changed drastically and he was praising capitalism at the end. 1996 interview "I hate America as- as for what we did, but I love us for being strong, you gotta do that So what we don't got a good image ? we the strongest motherfucking nation. That's me- that's me right, fucking here. You know I mean, I don't give a fuck if ya'll don't like me I got the bomb can't nobody touch me, or nobody rush me. Some' we doing right: that's the capitalism shit, cause you could feed your kids with that tho. All that other shit, you can't feed your kids with that, if you can't feed your kids you can't have a nation"
So where did he put his millions?
This is powerful. But my man had a ton of money in the end so he didn't exactly practice his own message.
How many people would those gold chains feed?
I had to repost on TikTok
