There's another issue to this that u/throwawayaccount2037 also probably doesn't know. Tupac was the son of a revolutionary Black Nationalist from the 1970's. The was a popular figure at the time, and also was prosecuted by the FBI along with several other Black Panther members in regards to staging multiple terrorist attacks against police stations.
Unlike Asasta Shakur (her close friend), this appears to have been a set-up by the FBI.
One thing you should note is that almost all of the violent, Leftist, Communist, Marxist, or Black National Socialist revolutionaries from the time period are almost all in positions of significant political power.
Tupac's death was a death of one of their own at a specific moment when Black Revolutionary racial violence and criminality were seen as both normal and moral.
One of the reasons that American blacks are associated with violence is because these Leftist movements of the time were all explicitly criminal. They assassinated judges, assassinated witnesses, killed police officers, created violent secessionist movements inside of cities (like the infamous MOVE bombing), robbed banks as a form of income, started prison riots, engaged in bombing campaigns and hostage takings. Basically, all the worst shit of the "Days Of Rage" Campaign. Crime is moral against a Capitalist system. That is why they talk about "white accomplices". Since these terrorists have seized power, they have emphasized pro-crime policies and police abolition to support crime against Capitalism.
Tupac was killed at a sensitive moment have the revolutionary racial violence of the LA Riots, and during a time period where black gangs were seizing institutional power in entertainment.
Somebody probably betrayed Tupac to kill him as he was becoming successful, and these are not the type of people who forget their enemies names. They've now got the FBI files on themselves, and are utilizing the old system to go against their enemies the way that they were pursued.
And to be clear, the Leftists aren't wrong that the FBI went after them illegally (sometimes). And you'll notice the FBI did the same shit to them, that they do to the right currently. The FBI did this to populist rightists back in the day too, but they don't know or care about that. As far as they are concerned, they are in power, and they are going to replicate the force used against them. "The masters tools in the hands of the oppressor".

Interesting, but not surprising.
Thanks, I may look into this some more.
