Niggers was the ones with the rope, hanging off trees; Niggas are the ones with gold ropes, hanging out at clubs. - Tupac Shakur

On March 28, 1997, Judge John D. Rainey, who presided over the libel suit Linda Sue Davidson brought against 2Pac, concluded: “2Pacalypse Now is both disgusting and offensive. That the album has sold hundreds of thousands of copies is an indication of society’s aesthetic and moral decay. However, the First Amendment became part of the Constitution because the Crown sought to suppress the Framers’ own rebellious, sometimes violent views. Thus, although the Court cannot recommend 2Pacalypse Now to anyone, it will not strip Shakur’s free speech rights based on the evidence presented by the Davidsons.”

It's like a battle, trying to find the right words to say at the right time.

Remember, this country had a man named J. Edgar Hoover, whose job it was to destroy the credibility of any black man coming up.
