Tupac Shakur’s name has been used in bad taste by Donald Trump’s campaign and his family isn’t happy about it. Trump’s team left a ticket for the late rapper at the vice presidential debate on Wednesday (October 7), after Democratic nominee Kamala Harris mistook ‘Pac for being alive after revealing who her favorite rapper was.
According to TMZ, ‘Pac’s stepbrother Mopreme Shakur says it was “clearly disrespectful” of Trump’s team to do such a thing. The legendary rapper and former member of Thug Life and Outlawz also admits he isn’t surprised by Trump’s actions based on his track record.
“We should know Trump’s lack of respect for the Black and brown community,” Mopreme said.
To make up for the disrespect, he wants Trump to release his dad (2Pac’s stepfather) from prison. His father Mutulu was sentenced to 60 years for RICO conspiracy, armed bank robbery and bank robbery killings in 1988. Despite taking full responsibility for his crimes and being an advocate of anti-violence, he’s been denied parole eight times.
Mopreme also said Harris has an excellent music taste and puts it down to the fact she’s from Oakland.
On September 25, Harris was asked for her opinion on who she thinks is the best rapper alive. She answered 2Pac before being reminded he’s not actually alive.
“Not alive, I know, I keep doing that,” Harris said while backtracking.
As for other rappers, she said, “There’s so many. There are some I would not mention right now because they should stay in their lane.”
Trump’s campaign decided to take advantage of the situation by leaving a seat for ‘Pac at the recent vice presidential debate. The attempt to mock Harris was confirmed by campaign senior adviser Jason Miller, who also name-dropped The Notorious B.I.G.
“I can confirm that we have left a ticket for Tupac Shakur, who as we know is Senator Harris’ favorite rapper alive,” Miller said. “I don’t know if he shows up… I’m personally more of a Biggie fan, if he’s still alive, but we will have a ticket waiting for Mr. Shakur.”
‘Pac previously mentioned Trump in an interview with MTV in 1992 while talking about greedy millionaires in a world full of poverty.
“This world is such a gimme, gimme, gimme, everybody back off place,” he said. “You’re taught that in school and in big business if you want to be successful, if you want to be like Trump, it’s ‘Gimme, gimme, gimme. Push, push, push. Step, step, step. Crush, crush, crush’.
“Can you imagine this person has $32 million dollars? $32 million dollars. And this person has nothing. And you can sleep? These are the type of people who get humanitarian awards. Millionaires. How can they be humanitarians when the fact that they millionaires and there’s so many poor people shows how inhumane they are. And that bugs me.”
this is the 2pac we all knew and loved. TRUMP / PENCE 2020
“There are some I would not mention right now because they should stay in their lane.” / OOOHHHHHHHH!!!
Harris was pandering and using your brother to get the black vote. Miss me with that crap. TRUMP 2020
Kamala was solely focused on the “greatest rapper” portion of the question and not the “alive” part. That’s good enough for me. She is in her 50s and a politician. I dont expect her to have an opinion on any rapper in the game currently. Trump is garbage anyways. I cant see the Republican party lasting beyond 2030. Its not 1776 anymore. Their cherished electoral college wont work forever. Diversity is spreading into red country.
You have your head stuck in the sand. You live in a little bubble of violent rioters and looters. The rest of this country has had enough of your lies and deceit. You are manipulative scumbags and 75 percent of this country knows it. Save your tired act for some beta cuck soy boy who wants to play along with your theatrics.
First of all Im not black. And where Im live nobody gives a shit about protesting and I hope it stays that way. Theres no KKK or BLM rallies out here cause people got kids to feed and bills to pay. Thats some middle America type shit. I dont believe in any type of supremacy including religious supremacy. Thats why I will never vote Republican. They stuck in a time warp.
You Donny, fuck you for using my brothers image, you’re a punk! By the way, could you please let my murderous dad out of prison? That seem like an intelligent strategy.
We need more revolutionary ridaz…like mopreme dad?
Black culture is the definition of disrespectful tho
2Pac would have nutted then farted in Kamala’s face and quit it. Ask Willie Brown.
