I think 2pac became jaded on lizards..especially after he got arrested and done for rape that he wasn't even a part of. Guilty by association.
He was initially an artsy poet that used to poke Jada Pinkett from time to time and into expression and love..but getting a record at a time when prior to, he had no involvement with the police including no criminal record made him realise how nasty life can be.

Yep, he acted pretty homo in some of his earlier interview vids. Then he homothugged out.

I still think 2pac and his rap thug persona was nothing more than an act. Maybe a little more than that, but I think a large part of it was more marketing and an exaggeration of a lifestyle than actual "thug life". Tupac was an actor and 2pac was a character.
My theory is that he was killed because he was going to go more mainstream. Suge knew that him being dead at the height of his popularity and being a martyr is worth way more than if he becomes soft and exposes his false lifestyle.

I think 2Pac was a closet homo and a wannabe thug.

I always thought it funny that hip hop culture which is based on singing, dancing and painting was considered 'macho' in some way. Particularly when a lot of hip hop is about talking smack and creating drama, rumors and gossip. For all the bravado it is in fact a very feminine culture.

I think Athlone touched a bit on
this in this post.

Tupac is one of the greatest examples of how your illusions create your reality.

You can't hate on 2pac man.
Unlike many rappers, he had a very strong belief that people should help out people in the ghetto. Many of the problems come because people say they help the hood, but never really do so. Shit his view of a thug was not someone who went out gang banging and killing people, but someone who actually went through the struggles of life. Poverty, living in a bad environment all that shit could make anyone a thug.
And on the topic about the ho getting him in jail. Apparently, he was a victim of false rape. Before she started talking about rape, he had piped that earlier. Bitch had oral sex with him. Then she switches her mind up and then says that him and his team gang raped her. (Which is all bullshit, we know she was living the groupie dream).
The reason why 2Pac alpha'd up was because at first he was raised by females. You could tell by the age of 17, he was soft because of that. But after that whole false rape charge, he realized bitches for who they are.
Everyone can say rap is feminine, but it helps dudes come in touch with their masculinity. When you write rhymes about shit like violence, fucking women and making money you get in touch with that badass that you believe you are and possibly could be.
Nope.

LOL! You trolling, bro?! Singing, dancing and painting?!! Which culture is more manly?
Just a slight jab mate. You know, early hip hop as a culture, not just music, was if I remember correctly an anti-violent street culture where you battled on who could rap the best or breakdance the best or paint the best grafiti instead of shooting each other up.
In modern 'hip hop' I just don't see a lot other than vain attention whores, who constantly make snide remarks about others and then their fans gobble up that shit like it is TMZ. Drama and a lot of words.
As for what is more manly, I'd say the metal scene is quite manly and testosterone fueled and doesn't require you to be able to dance or even sing, which fits perfectly for the average northern european guy without rythm. Of course, there aren't a lot females that find headbanging particularly attractive

Deluge, I grew up on hip hop..but that shyt looks extremely moist. I don't like to sound like a hater and I know hip hop is trying to touch different audiences and increase fan base..but the moist stuff makes my skin crawl.
The skirt wearing and the bitching..makes me just want to run off to a traditional beer drinking community and reset.
