I like Tupac, I like him a lot, and I know he was raised by a single mother and often showed a great deal of respect for women. But he also had a song where the hook was “everywhere I go, I see the same hos” and his threats to Biggie include assertions that he fucked his (Biggie’s) wife. So don’t give me a GIF set and tell me Tupac was some kind of feminist anomaly in a the deeply patriarchal culture of gangsta rap.
He was better than some but he could still have been better. That said, RIP.

Remember that time Eazy-E had lunch with George H.W. Bush?
“I think she was actually afraid to look at the short African-American next to her, so she didn’t notice that (Eazy E’s) eyes looked like a couple of all-black marbles. Nobody’s been that stoned in the White House since Gerald Ford’s kid Jack smoked dope on the White House roof. And Eazy had better weed that Jack Ford ever did.”

What?

Is there just a blog of rappers with white ladies? I’d put this one with Jay-Z and Ellen Grossman on the subway and this photo of Lil’ Jon playing ping pong with Susan Sarandon.
