Tupac Shakur calls out Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s hypocrisy in a never-before-seen MTV News clip of the rapper discussing greed in America.
In the 1992 unearthed video, Pac describes America’s greediness as something learned and scolds the wealthiest for not giving back. He says everybody needs a little help especially the youth and minorities.
“We’re taught this from school,” Tupac says. “Everywhere. Big business. You want to be successful? You want to be like Trump? Gimme, gimme, gimme. Push, push, push.”
Shakur also goes on about the economic disparities that plague America between the haves and the have-nots. He suggests that the wealthy shouldn’t wait to help the people who need it, before it’s too late.
“It’s too much money here,” the Thug Life rapper says. “I mean, nobody, should be hitting the lotto for $36 million and we’ve got people starving in the streets. That is not idealistic. That’s just real. There’s no way Michael Jackson should have, or whoever Jackson, should have a million, thousand, drupel, billion dollars and there’s people starving. There’s no way. There’s no way that people should own planes and there are people who don’t have houses.”
Tupac’s 1992 MTV News interview is as follows.
For additional Tupac coverage, watch the following DX Daily.
“I would love to work with Donald Trump,” Ross revealed in an interview. “I’m pretty sure there are some ventures we could attack. There’s some money out there for us to get. I just love what Don represents,. Ridin’ out here in New York, you look over and see so much of his real estate. It’s just a good thing…Tell him to get at me.”
Statements like this is why Pac is the greatest rapper of all time. He spoke up for his people on and of wax. He wasn’t perfect but he was REAL the whole way through. He was also ahead of his time, he was only 20 or 21 years old doing this interview.
i think greed and ego are taught in schools and by the media and entertainment industry. Look at basketball and mj, he made it ok to be an asshole aslong as you won and were rich. Or hiphop how it became all about how rich and tough you are and how you constantly clown women and poor people. I think people bought into that heavy in the 90’s and 2000’s but now people are waking up social justice more and slowly turning away from materalism. Rip 2pac.
Good point. However, I believe people bought into it more in the 2000s. In the 90s, you had conscious hip hop movements like Native Tounges, the obsession with Malcolm X and what he stood for (remember the gear?), and unifying movements like Fubu, and more positive messages in music and movies. The media in my opinion is to blame, dictating trends. It’s really up to us to snap out of that mentality and look at the big picture. I saw an Instagram video of Kevin Gates pretty much manhandling his girl (I guess it was in a loving way for them), calling her his bitch and all that and how he was going to fuck her. The comments were just as disturbing as one girl went on to say how she wished to have somebody love her like that. Women being degraded, men acting barbaric…This is what’s hot and acceptable. It’s no wonder that healthy, stable relationships are so rare. We just need to wake up.

Cherise Johnsen is actually a man with titties he knows nothing about 2pac and gets paid to promote fuckin bullshit
My bad! Cherise Johnson is actually a man with titties he knows nothing about 2pac and gets paid to promote fuckin bullshit
people just want handouts and yes trump did inherit millions but he turned them into billions
To Shade 45, there are a LOT of info out there Pac helping out his friends and family. Its all documented. Pac was a self-made millionaire. You must be a 2000’s kid which means you are a lying a-z=z f-a=g=g900t
in the video, pac specifically talks about helping his community/the youth, helping out his family and friends is not the same thing. gtfoh with your dumbass. this moron couldnt even distinguish between helping out a whole black community vs helping your friends/family. stay in school, please.

Unearthed? Ive watched this interview plenty of times and figured anyone who loves pac has as well. Maybe they mean “unearthed” to the people who dont know that much about pac outside of his music.
Can’t we stop putting politics in every crevice on the Web? It would be nice for one website, person, channel, etc. to not regurgitate political opinions for once. There’s more interesting things to talk about.
704779-0269 help me help support trump
First off DX please stop front in..Yaw know good and we’ll yaw didn’t unearth this interview.,I remember when it aired on mtv I was like nine. secondly R.I.P Pac…Man I miss him so much..He’s not just the greatest rapper ever..He’s the greatest African American man to live during my generation…if he wouldn’t have gotten killed the world would be much different
Pac definitely had this energy about him that a lot of hip hop artists lack. He was a movement. He unified a whole coast.
Maybe Pac would have went all pop if he was still alive, who knows… but i respect him for having such statements, dude was overrated as an artist but underrated as a leader, a human being. RIP
Coolest part is even if you don’t agree with him you can still love him. This man is legendary in everything he has ever done. And he still CARED! We all need to do more to help out. especially help our youth who aren’t to blame for their misfortunes
Rest In Power Pac. Lets honor his legacy by supporting and bumping quality Hiphop on these streets… Be Healthy y’all
Unearthed??? Really?? Hahahahaha .2pac was too real for this fake world . r.i.p to the realest Rapper that ever lived
The leftist propaganda keeps coming. Now hhdx using a man who been dead 20 years to slander Trump. Idiot cultural marxist mainstream media ‘journalists’ doing the work of the globalist elite.
haha trump just won new york yuge !!
Yeah Trump won NY… we are FUCKED
Lol at the hypocricy of tupac. Instead asking for other’s to help, I don’t see him doing the same. He made millions when he was alive. Flashing his cash in videos, etc. Tupac wasn’t donating/helping “his people”. Gtfoh!
YOU obviously know very little about Tupac. Go back and do your history feel stupid.

Kick a lot of knowledge to them
Pac was a good guy..n still deadchip head in anothrr body…he was unfortunatly part of illuminati…poor u if u still belive in politics…
Now just your ma running around in gucci and wearing the new louis vuiton and living beyond her means that story s few months ago wasnt she making like $900,000 a year? Pretty sure $800,000 of that could be donated and considering she probably owns her home could easily easily live on $100,000 a year and send the rest to charity but never see that happen huh? And shame on your hiphopdx for disgracing a man from his grave by trying to speak for him completsly out of fucking context to address your personal opinions you guys are pieces of shit have some respect
Everyone just gives 2pac too much credit for his intelligence.
Yes, he is “intelligent” as far as being a regular person in a group conversation, but a revolutionary scholar, political activist, he is NOT.
That’s not unearthed. That interview was out back in the day. It was the basis of his unreleased son “Lifestyles of the Poor and Hopeless.”
