The thing that people seem to forget about Tupac is that he really couldn't even be considered a 'hardcore gangsta' type until his rap career really started popping off. He used to be a dancer and an actor and shit. He let the gangsta rap genre encompass him more than it ever should have, and for that decision, he lost his life. A black prophet he was not. The fact that you even have to say the word 'black' there is pretty fucking ridiculous. A hardcore gangsta he was not either. He was just an incredibly talented rapper who was out to make as much money as possible.
