I followed him while he was alive and know a ton about his life. Can you summarize his descent into darkness better? Feel free.

Neil Degrasse Tyson had many these advantages too and American culture didn’t hold him back at all. Not that he didn’t face prejudice at all but it very clearly wasn’t a roadblock.

Eminem had no social advantages and he got caught up in the thug life that Tupac (specifically) inspired.

Watching what happened to Tupac seems to prove the point that rap and thug culture can be toxic. Prison could not have helped either.

He went from social activist rapper to rapper-gang member and it got him killed.

That doesn’t mean that it’s the music itself but the effect it has on the culture. And anyone arguing that music doesn’t affect culture is clearly wrong.

Movies do it too. A movie like “Zero Dark Thirty” that glorified torture is hurting the culture too. People in the military watch it and it changes their outlook for the worse.

It’s a hot button issue but that doesn’t mean your impulsive reaction is correct, just because you didn’t let the movie or music damage you directly.
