    Tupac’s manager and longtime political mentor, Watani Tyehimba, confirmed that Tupac had decided to pretend to be a “gangsta” in order to appeal to gangs and then politicize them

    I never heard that before, but if that’s true, no wonder he was assassinated

    Dang, this is all new to me. I didn’t know he was an activist at all, and helped broker gang truces, I was just under the impression he held pro-communist ideals from Assata, but not too political.

      He did say in a TV interview he was reading “That Russian guy, what was his name again? Oh yeah, Stalin”… but in context it sounded to me like he was messing with the interviewer.
