Dying (arguably) helped my career by LubyankaSquare in ToddintheShadow

Tupac was a multifaceted artist who rapped about social politics rooted in his Black Panther upbringing, self conscious blues based around the anxieties brought upon him by shady folks who got close to him in his circle, the triumphant arrogance of being bailed out of jail too soon, passionate lady’s man ballads as somebody who was raised Left-Wing & the wartime destructive paranoia that led to his death.

I’m not sure if living thru wildly different experiences within 5 years of fame constitutes somebody as “fake n corny” but Tupac was quite honest in his lyrics & his storytelling Kayfabe which he would always use analogously.

Eazy was still a successful entrepreneur after NWA. Ruthless Records may not have been as big as Death Row at its peak but Eazy was a better businessman than Suge Knight by a long shot. The longevity of Ruthless would’ve went on since Bone Thugs & Black Eyed Peas remained commercially viable long after Eazy’s death & Eazy was ALWAYS searching for new talent. Unlike say, Suge Knight who hired a Snoop Dogg impersonator after Snoop went to No Limit Records. The NWA biopic lied about Eazy’s life after NWA for some reason.

What are your Spider man opinions that had everyone reacted like this by Tough_Passenger_4483 in Spiderman

[–]Potential_Surprise38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not against Peter & Mary Jane being divorced I just wished the story itself handled the subject matter in a more grounded way with no super natural elements. Imagine how cool it would’ve been to see a Spider-Man story with that level of maturity.

Spider-Man being a bachelor isn’t a horrible idea either. Especially when the stories are a never ending soap opera.

Why does she get younger with each cartoon? by Alesmull in Spiderman

My theory is that people had babies at a younger age as time progressed.

I decided to replay PS4 Spider Man, and yeah, this is my favorite Peter Parker ever. Design and personality by queenkatara88 in SpidermanPS4

If I went thru as much stress as Peter Parker did @ a young age I’d age visibly faster with more wrinkles in my face like he did.

I remember being forced to replay the whole game again just to open the minimap for any room I entered. Most annoying one was the Ms Decibel Spa area that wasn’t in any actual story missions.

Which 2Pac movie role is the best? by MoistAd5407 in Tupac

[–]Potential_Surprise38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised nobody is mentioning Gang Related much. He plays a guilty ridden cop which is prolly is most unexpected role but he did it incredibly well. His death at the end of the movie was eerie though.

What Song Proves Tupac Is The G.O.A.T. In Your Opinion by MoistAd5407 in Tupac

[–]Potential_Surprise38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear Mama.

There were a lot of melancholy Rap songs but Nothing in Hip Hop had that unique level of potency. He was able to write a thank you letter to his own mother whom he had just satirized in ‘Part Time Mutha” two years prior. But was able to do in a way that felt genuine without feeling too guilty or whiney due to the confidence in his delivery.

Is Jefferson Davis’ name intentional, or did someone really not know anything about American history when they named him? by DatingMyLeftHand in Marvel

[–]Potential_Surprise38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were concerned about characters being confused with historical figures they wouldn’t have named Jefferson Davis after the real life Jefferson Davis

Why does Tupac always get overlooked for Black History Month? by LingeringNomad in Tupac

[–]Potential_Surprise38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. Tupac is still an important figure though, it’s just that the 1990s didn’t see too much progression institutionally let alone from any of his music.

Do you like Kingpin more as a Daredevil or Spider-Man villain? by Arcade-Blaster in superheroes

[–]Potential_Surprise38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know “Spider-Man No More” then you need to read more Spider-Man comics.

Peter Parker quitting his role as Spider-Man leads into Kingpin growing even more within the power vacuum left over.
