As BLM does, he strongly believed in fighting for the equity, protection, and uplifting of women, especially black women who grew up in the same environment as he did. A deeply flawed one who wrestled with his own toxic masculinity at times, but a true feminist in principal none the less. 2Pac, for all intents and purposes, was a feminist believe it or not. And one of those things, besides its blunt and unapologetic approach along with its tendency for being dangerously misunderstood is surprisingly, feminism. If one were to dissect the essence of Pac and the Black Lives Matter movement, you would most likely find that the similar (but not exactly the same) elements that made Tupac such a magnetizing, yet polarizing being. If he were alive today, pac would be right here with us fighting with fervor and speaking unapologetically about these ongoing injustices, just as BLM is doing now, while telling us to “strap up” for better or worse. I’m more than confident that he would speak on the late McDonald and Boyd while fighting for Oscar Grant III from the Bay Area. Then you’d automatically know the answer.
In fact, if you ask yourself if Tupac were alive today, how outspoken would he be about these ongoing murders. I look at Chicago, my hometown where amid the rampant gun violence you have a long, long history of the CPD committing acts of unnecessary violence towards unarmed citizens, such as the incidents resulting in the deaths of Laquan McDonald and Rekia Boyd among many, many others.
