Tupac, while serving prison time for rape, becoming pen pals with that dude from Who’s The Boss? Super wholesome.

The Arrchive of American Television interview with Tony Danza is worth a watch, he's an interesting guy to listen to and seems thoroughly decent.

They had a bunch of Tupac's stuff on display and there was a jail section where they showed some of his letters. It was pretty cool to see the people he interacted with

Pope Benedict XVI also made a playlist of pop songs that he believed promoted Christian values, and added Tupac to it.

Yes it is true pac said once in his interview that Tony Danza used to write him funny stuff in letters while he was locked up for a crime everyone knows is not true
Informal_Ad3771 t1_j6hgqsf wrote
He was in jail for sexual assault. Pretty cool huh.
Informal_Ad3771 t1_j6hgzuy wrote
Yes you can just listen to his lyrics, it's clear that he had great respect for women. Not that you should go to jail for words, but he would have gone back to prison had he not been killed. First degree sexual abuse.

Wasn’t he also supposed to get a visit from Madonna, that ultimately fell through?
Solid doc. I really like the interview with Tabitha Soren where he describes how “the song” changes over the years.

If the story from the other pov is to believed, she was lying and used the courts preference over women in situations like this to win her case
Unless you are 2pac and have risen from the dead, or you are that lady, don't assume when the facts aren't 100%
Informal_Ad3771 t1_j6i5hjq wrote
You can't say that here. Tupac Was a Hero. He was a revolutionary. Even a good rapper! A nice guy allround.

As the guy below said, America in 80s 100% didn't have a racism and police abuse problem, yesssss
Ontop of that, sexual and birth issues being favoured to the female side in courts in the west
Could have 2pac done it? Maybe, i didn't deny it, but there wasn't enough evidence due to the nature of the case (its hard to prove someone slapped your behinds when phones weren't as they are today) but the courts went ahead anyway
Informal_Ad3771 t1_j6i8kfv wrote
Not as many as people seem to think. Tupac Was a nasty piece of work. In his recent documentary, Chuck D tried but found it hard to say anything positive about him. Mediocre rapper, violent and confused human.

Considering the estimates are 2-6% of the prison population are wrongly convicted and 1% is roughly 20,000 people...estimates between 40,000 and 120,000 wrongly convicted people are behind bars. That's not an insignificant number of people.

Who didn't write letters to Tupac while he was in prison?
OssiansFolly t1_j6icahq wrote
You said listen to his lyrics. Your simply believing musical lyrics to be admissions of guilt they put into a recording and sold to the public. Either you or he are complete morons.
Fuzakenaideyo t1_j6ich08 wrote
Which song? "Keep your head up"? Lmfao
Informal_Ad3771 t1_j6id39y wrote
Not admission of guilt but indication of assholism. Nas and Wu-Tang didn't find it necessary to write misogynistic lyrics. Thug life forever though! Peace.
crackeddagger t1_j6ifao1 wrote
Tupac by all accounts was an incredibly smart man with a diversity of interests and talents. All of Tony Danza's characters were named "Tony" because he wouldn't respond to other names in scenes. What did they possibly talk about??????????

Rollins and Shatner did a song together on Shatner's 2004 album. Lot of surprisingly good stuff and collabs on that record actually. Jarvis Cocker helps him cover Common People. Great track.

Joe Jackson (or was it ben folds) singing backup too.
After that Henry said Bill invited him to his weekly monday night football parties. then a little later finding out he was alone had him over for thanksgiving dinner with his family.
Knoblord_McCheese OP t1_j6j8kik wrote
The responsibility that comes with being famous and having a platform, mostly. Also jokes, random stories... Danza just thought Tupac was a really interesting person with a story to tell so he wanted to meet him. That's pretty much it.

Same with Norm Macdonald. In his sitcom, they had to change his character's name to Norm, otherwise he missed his cues.

Rollins isn't particularly homophobic.
How does Shatner have friends?

Rollins isnt homo (really any) phobic at all.

you should look up his talks about RuPaul (TLDR - RuPaul makes me want to be a better person) and the time they went out to lunch in downtown LA.
