I regret ever being a part of the 2Pac world

Anyone wondering why HitEmUp.com fan hasn't launched yet can refer to this thread.

Is there any "real" Tupac fans still out there? Anybody actually trying to change the world since then? Anybody trying to make some $$ and make a difference? Anybody trying to teach their kids better?

No sir. No one is smart enough to go out and make a change, the ones that are, are not going about it the correct way, which makes me question their smartness approach of it all. Tupac was a marketing genius, i mean, he didn't even have to try, people marketed him for free.

People in the music are about features and being with someone to seem like they are the shit. No one is willing to create their own fan base anymore.

They all want respect, but no pioneers in the rap game are giving people like Drake respect, unless they are selling out.
 
i imagine in poland kids think they're cool for listening to rap but that's cause poland is...poland.

What you mean by that? Im pretty sure kid's from all over the globe think they are cool for listening to rap, well used to not so much these day's.

I was in Krackow last summer staying with family and the place was cool as fuck.
 
The music industry is fucked in terms of timing the market and being successful. Dre is scared as fuck to release Detox because he's probably behind the curve at every moment. When I mean, behind the curve, I don't mean in terms of quality but in terms of what he thinks the market that buys CDs (which is Nicki Minaj fans) will want to listen to.
Doesn't he realize he has a built-in audience already?

True. But at this point he has been waiting for way too long. His built-in audience is not as interested as it used to be. His last single was about what, 1-2 years ago? Where's the album? Not even near to be released. Fans can be fooled only a couple of times before they get annoyed.

Nothing wrong with being part of the 2pac scene when it happened. It's just that some people take groupiness to another level. But we've all been immature as fuck at some point.
 
Wait...so what leaked this year? I need to catch up
A lot....Ones that I can remember:
"Ride With Me" feat Kurupt

Amazing! I became bored stale years ago; I went through a period of completely decrying 2pac out of my life and found different pursuits and ambitions. Before I have come to realise and give due to 2pac, to me he was an 'idea' and amongst all the superfluous nonsense - which I belive was just got marketing and sales - i've found alot of beauty in his ideas, he's an icon and although the overall 'scene' might have fragmented, his music has become legendary, he's certainly imprinted a legacy on the the cultural milieu for generations to come.

I think that anybody who listens to 2pac in his teenage years might end up attenuating from the musical aspect as they age, for it certainly isn't avant-garde, but will never lose the 'spark' that his messages do leave an echo of in your mind, 2pac is like a vestige from a byone era, he's left colossol wrecks that have been levelled by the winds of time; and that's what will enthuse generations to come, he's become entrenched in cutlural and social history and as you look beyond the surface into the core of his vision, you will realise it's idle to seek logical truths in his words - as I at one point started doing - because the ideal of imagination is beauty, not truth. He was a beautiful visionary, not an embody of scientific truisms and for that, he will always find a new community of listeners generation after generation to come and to come, having their imagintions enflamed by his beauty.

Peace!
 
Speaking of 2pac websites beefs, anyone remember HitEmUp vs Makaveli4ever in about 2000-2001? That was fun...
 
yeah alot of us have grown up since then. anyone know what the premier website(s) is nowadays? not to knock this place but its more a place for me to get hip hop news, not 2pac related news. i realize not alot is going on right now but i like to peep re mixes, etc.
 
This thread was made after reading some threads on another Tupac forum. I was filled with hatred for the stupidity but after reading all the replies here I'll tone it down a bit and change my wording around and say that I'm just happy I grew out of it. Some people are still 30+ and stuck in that stuff and it just saddened/angered me.
