      You don’t think it could have been street politics even though Tupac was very much involved with street politics? What legitimate reason is there for the FBI to kill Tupac in the first place? He was a little subversive, but nothing crazy. Why would they simply shoot Tupac in front of so many witnesses? You’d think that the FBI would be capable of a little more subtlety.

          They’ll release information on JFK and aliens, but this Tupac shit has to stay buried forever.

        Tupac wasn’t into “Street politics” he paid for an entourage to maintain appearances. They exclusively kept him out of real gangster shit because they knew he was acting.

          Tupac most definitely had gang affiliations with both Bloods and Crips even if he didn’t bang himself. If being as close to Suge Knight, a very high ranking member of the M.O.B. Piru Bloods, as Tupac was doesn’t automatically count as being involved in street politics, then I don’t know what would be. Tupac even had a M.O.B. tattoo and past members have confirmed his affiliations. Not to mention, Tupac was right at the heart of the East vs. West rivalry, something some people took very seriously, especially in a business as potentially lucrative as rap music. Do I need to remind you that Tupac had already been shot multiple times right in the studio building? If gunmen try to assassinate you twice over street politics shit, that kind of makes you part of street politics. I never said he was a banger, because he wasn’t, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t involved in street politics.

            He was tolerated because he made Suge money. I’m not gonna debate this, go watch all of the interviews from everybody who was around them at the time. It’s a fact he was not involved in any real shit at all. This is old news man…

              You seem to be of the belief that street politics exclusively means gangbanging, but street politics is way wider than that. I never said he was in a gang because I know he wasn’t, but you’d have to be willfully ignorant to say that street politics had nothing to do with his death. Are you gonna tell me it was an accident next?

      So because it’s not a FBI agent who killed Tupac it’s a cover up? The guy Tupac and Suge beat the shit out of earlier that night coming back and shooting him is less likely than some conspiracy with an FBI agent? We’re all doomed. Literal idiots everywhere.

      Sounds more like a distraction to me. I mean they announced aliens like six weeks ago and nobody really cared so now we’re on to solving Tupac’s murder and I’m guessing 5 more months from now will uncover that Russia was behind the JFK assassination I don’t fucking know
