    I don't think it looks like him. Did it look more like him in person?

    It doesn't look like for two main reasons. One, is he is wearing a suit. Two, is they aged him up 9 years, to kind of show what he would look like today.

    Who knows. He may have really modeled for this. Lolol. Later, QD.

    Not really a museum. Just the PAC and park. I'm not sure exactly what is happening this weekend, Chuck. It's not too far for me, so I'm gonna find out. Later, QD.

    Was his music good? Yes DOes he deserve a statue because he was murdered? No. It amazes me that in this country that musicians, actors and sports personalities are put on pedistols, but the teachers, the soldiers and the countless other people who make this country what it is are looked upon as nobody's in many peoples eyes. Take down the fucking statue and use it for something good, drop it from a b-52 on a terrorists home. It serves no purpose here.

    2Pac had a long-running organization called "Pac's Kids." It was a place for poor, less fortunate children could go to painting, music, dance, just The Arts. A lot of you don't know this, but Pac really didn't live the lifestyle he portrayed. He wasn't the gangbanger everyone thinks he is. But his Mom had a Performing Arts Center built here called, TASPAC. This was for the Kids. The park was constructed next to it. The statue was his Mom's idea and funded by his estate and donations. I don't see where it is really hurting anyone by being there. It makes no difference to me. I thought Pac was a great rapper, but I wasn't a fan. Later, QD.

    I was a fan and can tell you the same thing- he didnt live the life of a "WEST COAST GANGBANGER" :jerkit: he was portrayed as such and guess what, to the millions of suburbanites it helped sell records. Tupac I think was too smart for his own good. Don't just hear the music, listen to the words. On any of his albums, his shit was on another level man. Yea he had the club bangers, the songs for the homeys, and for the ladies. Then he had some real shit, the shit you listen to and ride out like "damn, this shit is crazy" just makes you think about things on a different level man. Don't knock him if you don't know shit about him, except for what you saw on MTV...

    soo 2pac made good music and got shot...lol thats all.

    I think now ther needs to be a statue for every soldier/teacher in the world. lol its not 2pacs fault teachers and soldiers dont get the credit the deserve...write your local congressman. teachers dont get paid enough for what they do, and soldiers risk there lives and come back to a mediocore lifestyle...and that 2pac statue is injustice?...paaaleaaaaase!
