REGGIE WRIGHT DROPS CLIP Unreleased Audio Of 2Pac's Racist Rant Against White Rappers Surfaces... And It's Not What Vanilla Ice Said
An audio recording expresses Tupac’s true thoughts.
There seem to be some conflicting stories regarding the late great Tupac Shakur’s attitude towards white rappers. While Vanilla Ice attests that 2Pac showered him with praise and encouragement, a snippet of audio has surfaced voicing Tupac’s disdain for white rappers.
In the early nineteen-nineties, MC Hanmer and Vanilla Ice challenged and then broke down the barriers of rap and pop. Superstars grew out of the era and solidified hip hop’s placement as a genre that could traverse across the other styles of music.
But for Pac to give his opinion so vocally and emphatically against white rappers in the proceeding years, it lends to the idea he was a racist.
And that, on its face, may have only been about concern for his own race. Yet he goes on to say that he stood against white rappers engaging in Jamaican rap (perhaps Snow?) and other whites who received only mean mugs and shoulder shrugs from him and his crew.
He went onto say “kill it” meaning to end all relationships with white rappers despite their abilities.
This whole situation could have been avoided if Pac would have had some foresight in regards to artists who may not have been as filled with melanin as he. The truth is that while Shakur ascended to the levels of infamy and notoriety, he changed his tune on white rappers as well.
In his brief time on this Earth, Tupac ensured that the world would feel his passion and emotion regarding whatever topic he chose. With white rappers, it was no different.
In the latest video regarding this matter, an interviewee Reggie White plays a clip explicitly detailing Tupac’s animus towards lighter hued rappers. In a nonchalant way, White even discusses how Pac grew tired of the Digital Underground and wanted to embark on his own journey as a solo artist.
Wright mentioned, [Pac] hated those dudes.”
So if anything is to arise from this interview, it is that 2 Pac presented himself as mercurial. This is no news flash. The man who once bonded with Biggie exclaimed that he had sexual relations with BIG’s wife, Faith Evans.
What would give anyone the impression that he didn’t carry rancor for those outside of his color? His mother birthed him as the son of Black Panther Party affiliates. He had already felt the sting of white oppression. When he grew up to tell Vanilla Ice he would become a sensation, it resonated. At the same time, though, he held onto racist ideals against the white man.
The view of whether Pac was a racist becomes clearer when he, with vociferous intent, outlined that all white rappers stood on his radar and they received no affection or respect.
To consider Pac’s tirade against whites to be benign would be a slap on the wrist to his legacy. It should be heard that he didn’t have a firm grip on reality to better understand the inner workings of the business of show.
If Vanilla Ice can speak well on Pac either knowing or having never heard Tupac speak on race relations in rap, he ought to reevaluate his position on just how much adoration the late rapper poured on him. It seems as if the entire clip had been dipped in vitriol and dripped with hatred. By looking at the facts of the matter, it is plain to see that Makavelli had the power to influence millions and for a spell, no pure rappers emerged until Eminem. Sure nu metal groups like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park arose, but there was no white megastar just purely rhyming over beats until Slim Shady arrived.
Call it irony or fate, but Dr. Dre produced for Tupac and Eminem.
