What Color Is Your Brain?
O-Kay, and some other boston related thing... i am gonna miss home. so lets do a cliche blog style tribute to my city... Bean-Town. Home to The Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots, the Bruins and the Celtics, Aerosmith, The Pixies, The Red Chord, The Dresden Dolls, Dinosoar Jr, Violent Femmes, Dennis Leary, Mr. Lif, Akrobatik, Melissa Ferrick, Edward Gorey, Michelle Tea, Tupac. (Tupac really did live in Western Mass for a bit when he was growing up)
RANT about Tupac and why i don't think he was a killer.
...
i realize that name alone still frightens people a bit. oohhh, he likes tupac.... umm we better not go near him... i don't listen to tupac to be threatening. and what i love about him was not his gangsta character, which after studying hip hop passionately for the past few years, i honestly believe it was a character. it was his front. he was brilliant and he was telling it like it was/ That made EVERYONE nervous... other rappers, and what they keep on the DL, and he knew about the system. Trapped in it somehow since birth. I know from what i have read and what i have heard in his songs, that Tupac was a good guy in a bad situation. The government was worried about the truth being heard in any record that could be purchased at the local walmart or whatever the f**k. He studied the system and he was a brilliant talented rapper, and if you are making your voice known, and your messege is too close to truth, you have to be a soldier. like Marvin Gaye, John Lennon, Martin Luther King Jr. Anyway... the media absolutely made him out to look like a dangerous killer on the loose. The media did this while he was in jail, and even used his roles from movies like Juice, or whatever else he was in when he was playing the role of a gangster and made it look like it was an interview with him, and your average white american did not see any tupac movies so they wouldnt recognize it as a role. Even if people protested and the news station had to make a public apology, the images they were shown over and over made people afraid of tupac. The news might say "oh sorry" or "woops we take that back", but the image in people's minds was that Tupac was a killer and he would have no problem killing you for any reason whatsoever.
You should check out some of the stuff he wrote while he was in prison. The guy was not in there messing around.
I guess obviously you can believe whatever you want, but i wouldnt be surprized if he never killed anyone.
