Did Tupac live a double life?

Maybe the "G" in "OG" doesn't stand for "gangster" but for something else?

The more I discover, the more I realize that the nation and world I grew up in differs from what I was led to believe.

A recent example comes from some old video footage of Tupac Shakur as a 17-year-old.

Shakur left this earth in 1996, but his legacy endures in the music and entertainment communities.

Maybe the 30-year time span clouded my memory of Tupac a bit? I say that because when I think of Shakur as a person, I think of a tough guy from the streets of Harlem. He struck me as an alpha male dripping with machismo.

However, two days ago, I stumbled upon a resurfaced video of Tupac, and the video not only blew my perception of the late rapper out of the water but also had me (once again) question what’s real and what’s phony in this world.
