Only God and Tupac know the answer to this question. We've all heard the first line in Hail Mary-"i ain't a killer but don't push me" do you think anyboby pushed him? I think it's possible because even he admitted to be an active participant in the gang violence after he signed with death row. If you wathced "Thug Angel Life Of An Outlaw" then you've seen it yourself...he could shoot very well. He had the guns and enough bullets to take out a whole block by himself and he did say the only thing left to do was to shoot at a live target. Why would he get all those guns if he wasn't going to use them to protect himself...? He got them because of the lifestyle he was living he understood that it was necessary to crarry guns with him becasue it was very likely that he would run into some past beef he had or be in a situation when he was in an argument and guns were pulled out. So i guess he figured it's better to be safe then sorry. Another reason i think he might have killed somebody was to get his well established street credibility and respect from all the gangstas at death row because death row at the time had the most killers on payroll. Before the first shooting Tupac said that he would never roll to go pull guns on any black person but all those morals he had once stood for went out the window when 5 bullets penetrated his flesh given to him by the same people who he thought he was a representitive and the voice for. When he got out of prison i think he said FUCK IT! i'm living life no-holds-barred. He said it himself "i'm going to make niggaz feel the fire like i had to feel the fire" fire meaning hot bullets because when you get shot it burns. You can also hear it in a lot of his music. Through out his carrer as he got older his music got harder and harder especially during the time he was on death row. The months leading up to his untimely death he made more and more murder murder murder kill kill kill records and the "dear mama" the "keep ya head up" and the "branda's gotta baby" records basically stopped. Was this a case of life imitating art or art imitating life? I guess we'll never know. Tupac always said that he wants everything that comes out of his mouth to be the truth. In his music he talked about a lot of killing...some of it may just be him rapping about the mentality of the young black male in the ghetto but i'm sure alot of it was through his own perspective he also asked God to forgive him for his sins a lot saying shit like i hope the lord can forgive me but it was either him or me he said shit like this a lot...too many to remember right now. He rapped about how he murdered his enemies and ya'll know Tupac he always said anything i rap about is all real there ain't no fake at all in Tupac. I'm not saying that he was a cold hearted killer or anything but i do think that he might have found himself in a situation where he had to defend his life. A lot of people said that one of the many reasons that may have been the reason for his death was because he was taking part in the gang violence getting even with the people who did him wrong. Also in the gang lifestyle a big way somebody could gain a lot of respect is with retaliation. So let me end this the way i started it with a line from Hail Mary-"revenge is like sweetest joy next to getting pussy" so what are your thoughts on this?
