Shug Knight is shady as hell, i think. He just has a look and a way about him that is such a TELL.. I think he may have played a bit part in what led- to the murder.. Tupac,who was a most brilliant singer, songwriter.thinker, poet.advocate..etc ...a talent that can never, ever be trumped.,in my opinion.Love or hate the guy, didnt matter, if u appreciate the art of rap, u cannot deny his raw, sick way to tell the story..He was going to get your attention with any neccessary means he could dream up!I wasnt always a fan..but i came to listen deeper to the stories he told in his music, bcuz my teen son was a HUGE lover of his works,and wanted to share it with me.My son showed me how to look at it with open eyes and ears,.Now..I will always be a fan. Ironic,maybe a touch,,, bcuz i am a 44 year old woman, thats not into rap all that much.But, Tupac got my attention,i have done so much research on this man that was finally killed..i didnt become a HUGE FAN, like i am now, til alot of years after his death. At the end of the day, I have to say, that i believe his loud ass,obnoxious, dirty,egotistical,BIG MOUTH, was truly what caused him to get dead....i dunno. Just my thought...it could be that simple..couldnt it? R>I>P> 2Pac.....much respect to the good things u did do..
