Tupac had that mentality where he mashed for his dreams, like Edi said Tupac "Was a magnet for the lost souls."
Tupac battled giants, took his destiny in his own hands, in his own words was "Crucified by the media." And through his music overcame the grave. Sounds like he fits the Jesus, Bhudda or any other messiac parable. He gave his life to what he felt so strongly for, what he felt was his cause, his heart dictated his actions he turned within where the kingdom of heaven is. Many in history are like this, those who rise above the social consciousness of he said/she said can reach and attain the christ conciousness, like Pac.
