I didn’t grow up having role models. I grew up having people I didn’t want to be like and seeing situations I’d never want to be in. and that was enough.
Pac was not no thug at heart. He was a bright, sensitive & compassionate art school kid w/ a warrior spirit...who went through hell. His environment & experiences hardened & changed him.

I’ve met people who barely talk about God but treat others with love, and I’ve met people who never miss church but don’t know how to treat people right.
happy juneteenth to EVERY black musician that paved the way for every musical genre, style, technique etc. that have been used throughout history by non black people but have never been recognized as black creativity!
