Here’s 2Pac laying it down in Only God Can Judge Me. The son of a Black Panther who went on to speak truth to power.īut anyone who ever actually takes the time to really listen to 2Pac understands that as bad as “the man” is, the man in the mirror is the bigger problem - and the only real solution.

Today, 2Pac is remembered as a valiant warrior for civil justice and Black liberation. One of the greatest forms of oppression today is the consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs (MDE) and other animal products.Īrmed with the knowledge we now have about standard MDE industry practices, Tupac-the-vegan knows- like Tolstoy before him - that as long as we have slaughterhouses, we will have battlefields, and ghettos. Today, 2Pac is not at Coachella or Burning Man he’s rapping and agitating at a slaughterhouse vigil. So long as we have oppression, 2Pac is alive - fighting the good fight alongside the victims. 2Pac is a revolutionary who opposed oppression in all of its forms. 2Pac died to make this happen.īut the people who paint 2Pac’s legacy as a hologram gangster make a mockery of 2Pac and themselves. The same is happening with veganism today. Twenty years later, hip-hop is an unstoppable global cultural phenomenon. Then hip-hoppers suddenly got targets painted on their backs. First hip-hop was ridiculed as underground “urban” (read: Black) music. Iconic opening scene of Earthlings (2005)Īs an artist who was introducing entirely new genres of rap and R&B, 2Pac saw the three stages of truth firsthand. The fact that changing the way we eat is at the top of the stack isn’t an accident.ĢPac knows that the only way out of the vicious cycle of death is by looking past centuries and millenia of social coding that rationalized slavery, exploitation, violence, and cruelty.ĭon’t believe everything you read - Alizé and weed!ĢPac is alive today not as a hologram gangsta, recycling old lines about “bitches” and “hos.”

Because we are what we eat.Īs MDE-eaters, we’re trapped on Death Row. 2Pac could see that the old system of routinized violence is only causing more violence.Īnd even though he knew that if you live by the gun, you gonna die by the gun, he took time to teach the rest of us that if we want meaningful changes, we have start first and foremost with changing the way we eat.īefore changing (2) “the way we live” and before changing (3) “the way we treat each other” we had to change (1) what we eat.
