2pac gang relation and stuff

[Nick Geyer]

Was told 2pac was part of piru blood gang of losangeles? this shit true?
If not, why does he rap about being a thug. Im a lame australian, whats the
difference bewteen a gangsta
and a thug?.

I don't think Pac was tied to any one particular gang, he hung out with gang
members but he wasn't part of any gang.

The definition of a "thug" varies depending on who u ask. The word "gangsta"
has also evolved over the years and you will get different definitions
depending on who you ask. A Gangsta will typically be associated with a hang,
hence the word "gang"sta.

plus 2pac was never from L.A. his spent his teens in Oakland, thats where he
started hanging in the streets and being a badass.

Do yourself a favor mate, go and buy "The Killing of Tupac Shakur" by Cathy
Scott, the ISBN is 0-929712-17-X.

If you read this it will tell all about his gang affiliations, which were
indeed sort of with the Bloods. You will also work out that a very famous
boxer was also a member of this gang. Read it it's pretty cool, I was in
Vegas last year and walked the route the car took after he had been shot I
even stood on the intersection where it happened, pretty wild stuff.

The book covers his childhood growing up on the East coast then moving to
California. His parents, mum being a crack head and his father a foundation
member of the Black Panthers probably America's biggest ever Black rights
group. Record companies and Gangsta Rap, Biggie Smalls and Puff Daddy, Snoop
Doggy Dog, Lil Kim, and many other stars of this violent part of the music
industry. Right through to the shooting and after it, the investigation and
all the crap.

To give you an idea, Tupac was at MGM Grand watching a Heavy weight fight
when while leaving he apparently gave a young black fella a crack in the
head. The man a member of the Crips, got a hiding by all the boys with him.
Only a couple hours later Tupac was shot. not saying he did it, but common
sense would say that ...

After you read this book allot of his lyrics will make allot more sense.

Hope this helps you out.
