He got shot because he shot up a venue in Oakland with kids & went to prison because of gang rape.

He introduced phraise Thug Life to the world, not thug has in he will snatch your purse or rape your daughter but as a person born into poverty and hard times who makes it out and is still himself, and Nas and JayZ took the image and ran with it, which is what led to him dissing them, funny how when asked who Nas' favorite rapper is he replies 2Pac, and JayZ constantly mentions him in his lyrics.
Nas is Nas, Jay Z does not constantly mention Pac. Jay Z constantly mentions Biggie & occastionally mentions Pac. Again sourceless claims.

I could care less where someone is born or where they rep.That isn't my point.

He is almost deified, I remember most of the kids in my high school still believed he was alive.
Kids like Pac. Again I must say WHAT A GUY and refer to my earlier statements on angsty emorap for kids.
