A message to cgroupman

Quote from RCG Trader:

Indeed, he was. He lived something you never could.

Now, his sampling is waaaaay beyond what is allowed in the music industry, and yet Bruce Hornsby never pushed that.

My guess would be, that Hornsby and 2pac same the same song, to different audiences. But that requires differential thinking, which has been determined is a weak spot for the hard right.:)

Glad you got it C. Stay up, bruh.

Yeah 2pac lived a life of drugs, crime, ect... something I never will. So you are right! Oh, and btw... I was a musician for 20 years... so yeah... cool huh?

So you got me labeled "hard right". You like to label people?

You know what sucks... last fall my teenage son and I went to his first practice for baseball... his coach had called us earlier and told us where to meet him at. We get there and I see this black man in the middle of the parking lot waving to people. He has a baseball cap on. Wearing sweats like a coach would. We come up to him and ask him if he is the coach. He says yes. And I say I thought so. He says "Because you saw a black man right"? I instantlly knew he had something against white people. Of course I thought he was the coach! He was the only dude in the whole parking lot where we were supposed to meet. He had a baseball hat on. He had sweats on. And yep, I could tell he was a black man on the telephone when he called us up and left a message. So what? Why was that "my bad"? I don't get it.

I ended up being the assistant coach for him on the team. We became friends. So all ended up good. But I still wonder... Did I do something wrong? You tell me. I don't think I did. But he did. I guess it was his upbringing or whatever.. I don't know...
 
Quote from AK Forty Seven:

He made it better imo

Okay...

I have written up what I think of his version of the song:

Here is how I see 2pacs Changes video:

1- Black man is tired of being poor and even worse (?) he is black and his stomach hurts so
He goes out to snatch a purse. Does he look for a job first?

2- I agree cops are shooting too many people. And now they are being shot a lot too.

3- First ship 'em dope & let 'em deal the brothers give 'em guns step back watch them kill each other= Okay this BS is BS. No one forces dope or guns on nobody. He's feeling sorry for himself or whatever omg

4- It's time to fight back yeah.. not a good thing.. payback is a bitch but that is a choice people make

5- Learn to see me as a brother instead of 2 distant strangers = good line

6- How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me?... I guess he is saying White man is the Devil?

7- All he sees is racist faces I hardly ever see racist faces so I don't know who he was looking at

8- Yep, both black and white smoke crack.. got that one right

9- We ain't ready to see a Black President got that one wrong but who knew at the time right?

10- Penitentiary is filled with criminals, not just blacks you get what you deserve is what I say don't do the crime if you can't do the the time.

11- Yeah, staying in the dope game is not a good idea

12- Selling crack to the kids I gotta get paid¨ Well hey, that's the way it is = again, a CHOICE.

13- It's time for us as a people to start makin' changes I guess he is talking about black people? Or everybody?

14- Instead of war on poverty they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me = don't take drugs then, easy answer.

15- He ain't never did a crime yeah he did prison time so what is he talking about?

16- That's the sound of my tool (gun?) you say it ain't cool my mama didn't raise no fool = not cool

17- Talks about he has to worry about the paybacks because he roughed up some punk way back.. = payback is a bitch.


Okay, my look at his song. Some is good, some is bad. Bad always outweighs good

So if anyone else wants to give their thoughts on his song I would like to read it. = Cool.

One more thing misFortune.

Maybe it's because 2pac was black, maybe it's his voice.

Let's try this.......

Can you relate now?

Has nothing to do with being black. It's what he says in the song.

And Aerosmith looks darn freaky back then.. Yikes!

I know what 2pac was trying to say/do with his song. I just think there was some stuff in it that wasn't so good.
