That's some Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart shit right there.

Or Snoop with the cast of Downton Abbey?

I was watching Tupac: Resurrection and Tupac starts talking about it at one point. So random.

Wasn’t he also supposed to get a visit from Madonna, that ultimately fell through?

Solid doc. I really like the interview with Tabitha Soren where he describes how “the song” changes over the years.

I think Madonna wrote him a few times if I recall correctly

I distinctly recall something about the guards giving him an extra shower to possibly see her, but maybe I’m crazy.

It’s goofy what the mind chooses to remember. Of all the things to be captured and held in my brain…

Pope Benedict XVI also made a playlist of pop songs that he believed promoted Christian values, and added Tupac to it.

This probably isn't how it happened but I hope somebody translated it into Latin for him and he spent dark nights in his ancient library deliberating over its worthiness by candlelight

They had a bunch of Tupac's stuff on display and there was a jail section where they showed some of his letters. It was pretty cool to see the people he interacted with

He was in jail for sexual assault. Pretty cool huh.

If the story from the other pov is to believed, she was lying and used the courts preference over women in situations like this to win her case

Unless you are 2pac and have risen from the dead, or you are that lady, don't assume when the facts aren't 100%

Not as many as people seem to think. Tupac Was a nasty piece of work. In his recent documentary, Chuck D tried but found it hard to say anything positive about him. Mediocre rapper, violent and confused human.

Considering the estimates are 2-6% of the prison population are wrongly convicted and 1% is roughly 20,000 people...estimates between 40,000 and 120,000 wrongly convicted people are behind bars. That's not an insignificant number of people.

As the guy below said, America in 80s 100% didn't have a racism and police abuse problem, yesssss

Ontop of that, sexual and birth issues being favoured to the female side in courts in the west

Could have 2pac done it? Maybe, i didn't deny it, but there wasn't enough evidence due to the nature of the case (its hard to prove someone slapped your behinds when phones weren't as they are today) but the courts went ahead anyway

I’ve got a sense of humor, I laugh at Tony Danza

crackeddagger t1_j6ifao1 wrote

Tupac by all accounts was an incredibly smart man with a diversity of interests and talents. All of Tony Danza's characters were named "Tony" because he wouldn't respond to other names in scenes. What did they possibly talk about??????????

6

Knoblord_McCheese OP t1_j6j8kik wrote

The responsibility that comes with being famous and having a platform, mostly. Also jokes, random stories... Danza just thought Tupac was a really interesting person with a story to tell so he wanted to meet him. That's pretty much it.

Same with Norm Macdonald. In his sitcom, they had to change his character's name to Norm, otherwise he missed his cues.

Geminiweedsmoker t1_j6hcfea wrote

Yes it is true pac said once in his interview that Tony Danza used to write him funny stuff in letters while he was locked up for a crime everyone knows is not true

Another weird one. Two of Henry Rollins good friends are RuPaul and William Shatner

Knoblord_McCheese OP t1_j6j84e7 wrote

Rollins and Shatner did a song together on Shatner's 2004 album. Lot of surprisingly good stuff and collabs on that record actually. Jarvis Cocker helps him cover Common People. Great track.

bolanrox t1_j6j8ely wrote

Joe Jackson (or was it ben folds) singing backup too.

After that Henry said Bill invited him to his weekly monday night football parties. then a little later finding out he was alone had him over for thanksgiving dinner with his family.

you should look up his talks about RuPaul (TLDR - RuPaul makes me want to be a better person) and the time they went out to lunch in downtown LA.

Rollins isn't particularly homophobic.

How does Shatner have friends?

Rollins isnt homo (really any) phobic at all.

Tupac, while serving prison time for rape, becoming pen pals with that dude from Who’s The Boss? Super wholesome.

Yes you can just listen to his lyrics, it's clear that he had great respect for women. Not that you should go to jail for words, but he would have gone back to prison had he not been killed. First degree sexual abuse.

You said listen to his lyrics. Your simply believing musical lyrics to be admissions of guilt they put into a recording and sold to the public. Either you or he are complete morons.

Informal_Ad3771 t1_j6id39y wrote

Not admission of guilt but indication of assholism. Nas and Wu-Tang didn't find it necessary to write misogynistic lyrics. Thug life forever though! Peace.
