I give you that. Pac was largely influential but didn’t have any real power, just like the BPP, and NWA. Why would the goverment of a supposedly free country be threatened by any of the above. I mean, we all know they made the BPP far more violent and reactionary that it would ever have been. Simply put if you’re black and you gain a position of prominence in this country, independent of the establishment you’re suspect.

Dude, I know personally of situations where the government has tapped the phones of community activists trying to get people HOUSING.

Tupac ain’t organize shit.

Probably the same reason they infiltrated a group of Black intellectuals who organized a breakfast program for poor inner-city children(BPP). Maybe the same motivation that caused an FBI agent to write a rather threatening letter after the release of NWA’s first album. The govt is full of crazy people who are deathly afraid of anybody angry, provacative, and black.

Serious question: Why would the government want to take out Pac? Was he just selling way too many albums?

I don’t think either Pac or Big were or wanted to be leaders of a Black revolution. However, I don’t think it’s nonsensical to believe that some alphabet boys had something to do with both of those murders. Jay Smooth pointed out rather nicely the paranoia the US Govt has when young black guys start acting up. Not too mention that some of the shady cats Pac was runnning around with the last couple years of his life were rumored to have been govt informants.

I think people hear ‘classically trained pianist’ and assume she’s some kind of brainiac.

but have you ever listened to her lyrics? they sound like they were swiped from a 13-year-old’s diary.

(she actually has a song called…’Diary.’)

I first read about her interview with Blender from my fellow blogger Juan Perez over on Highbrid Nation. I couldnt beleive it. I had always thought she was smart. Little did I know. In reality she is a cross between a Black Panther and a retard.

…she still looks good though .
