Tupac: Resurrection Page #5

---

"This number has been changed."

And it was like a movie. I mean, it was

like the day after the movie wrapped.

"I'm gonna call you."

"All right."

"This number's been changed."

I said, "Oh, OK."

Still, when I see her again, I'd run up

and hug her. We was real cool.

I love women. I'm not gonna lie.

I love women with a passion. I do. I do.

Sometimes I just wanna call Prince

and be like, "Can we hang?"

Because I love women

like he love women.

Hold on. I've been talking

to little girls all day.

Seeing somebody my age.

How you doing?

- Fine, how you doing?

- Yourself?

I have ultra respect for women.

I like being around females,

I'm comfortable with them

on every level.

I don't get a predator thing going

when I'm around demure females.

- Don't be shy.

- Y'all making me blush.

You got me blushing.

I'm not uncomfortable

around strong women.

- Sorry. I'm not enough.

- No, I'm looking you up and down.

On TV, they'll go,

"Look how he looking at Tabitha."

Don't do that.

Madonna is real nice. She's a good

person. She helped me a lot.

She was real cool,

like any one of my homeboys.

Jasmine Guy, she helped me.

She's a good supporter.

Jada Pinkett. Jada's my heart,

you know what I mean?

She will be my friend

for my whole life.

Well, I'll scoop you up later in life

if you ain't all shriveled up.

We'll be old together.

Be like Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.

Pic, you always

got a place in my heart.

She can have my one heart,

my liver, my lungs, my kidneys,

my blood, marrow, all of that.

Keep your head up

Child, things are gonna get easier

- Keep your head up

- Child, things will get brighter

My mother taught me to understand

women a lot more than my peers can.

When I was young,

I was surrounded by strong women.

My sister's the bomb.

She's my biggest critic.

She's real smart, funny as all hell.

She's real funny.

My mother was a matriarch.

If you raised by a woman,

you're gonna think like a woman.

Since we all came from a woman,

Got our name from a woman

And our game from a woman

I wonder why we take

From our women

Why we rape our women

Do we hate our women?

I think it's time to kill for our women

Time to heal our women

Be real to our women

But I'm not a woman.

I'm just a normal man.

To me, I'm the hardest man around,

the hardest nigga, because I'm real.

But I'm also very soft.

I'm very sensitive, but that's why I'm

so harsh, because I'm so sensitive.

And that's what I think

has made me successful and famous.

So sensitive.

Don't be so sensitive, Tupac.

- Well, basically...

- Bugaloo.

Bugaloo? Boogaloo?

Marlon Wayans,

I am playing the role of Bugaloo.

- What is Bugaloo?

- Where did that name come from?

Some white guy's sitting there, "What's

a homeboy hip-hop name? Bugaloo!"

"What are they calling each other

these days?"

- Check it out

- I get around

- What you mean you don't know?

- Round and round, round we go

I get around

The Underground just don't stop

For ho's. I get around

When I got famous,

I got famous friends.

Mickey Rourke was a good friend,

good person. He's really funny.

My memory of him is the night

he's arguing with Carr, his wife.

He didn't know what to do.

I was like, "Man, buy her some Cristal.

"Cristal will make someone

forgive you, trust me."

They be like,

"What was we fighting about?"

He's like, "That's a good idea, 'Pac."

I was like, "He gotta be twice my age,

"and I'm giving him ideas."

Ain't no party like a Thug Life party

Because a Thug Life party don't stop

Ain't no party like a Thug Life party

Because a Thug Life party don't stop

Ain't no party like a Thug Life party

Because a Thug Life party don't stop

I always gave Biggie a lot of props.

The Notorious B.I.G.

I thought at the time

he was my friend.

Mike Tyson, we used to kick it.

He's a real cool brother, a big brother.

The only difference in us

is that he's big and I'm small.

But I got the same heart he got.

I want to knock everybody out.

My brother, I'm telling you,

you were good.

- I enjoyed your performance.

- Appreciate it. Thank you very much.

I like that people come to me

and go, "You did a good job."

I was loving that somebody said,

"Tupac, you a great actor."

- I'm telling you, Tupac a real nigga.

- Being famous gave me confidence.

- Is Tupac a sexy motherf***er?

- The crowd gave me confidence.

- Go Tupac, go Tupac, go.

- Let me hear you say:

- "Go Thug Life, go Thug Life, go."

- Go Thug Life, go Thug Life, go.

That's what I wanna hear.

Now, I'm my own man.

I got you now! I got you now!

I put it down. I wanna get

into the head seat. Excel at it.

Do it one more time,

clear as possible.

Can we double it,

see what it sound like?

I'm a natural-born leader.

If not, everybody lose their jobs.

Everybody lose their jobs!

Back to servant.

Playing the drums in the corner.

But nobody could call me a sellout.

I'm not going for that.

I didn't want to change.

I loved that even though I was

with Janet Jackson in big movies,

I'll be up at the dirtiest

house party in the 'hood.

Damn, sweetheart

You got some thighs on you

Now I can't wait to get you home

Get you all alone in my bedroom

People could not believe it.

I used to thrive off that.

Being up in the party, and somebody

go, "Oh, my God, that's Tupac."

Going crazy because I'm

in a dirty party, no security,

lights out, drinking, hella drunk.

Drunk with everybody else.

But that's what kept my sanity,

kept me right, kept me going.

My fans know that I'm real.

My fans go to jail just like me.

They understand me.

Half my fans are white.

The white fans listen

as much as the black fans.

The ones that have approached me

have been genuine fans.

These people will have jobs in

the future and will hire my family.

Get down, man!

But many of my fans don't have ID.

Some have jobs, some don't.

Some are on welfare, you know?

Some are not.

Some are rich and some are poor,

but they all share that hopeless feeling.

I got the underdogs on my side.

Body bags of adversaries

That I had to bury

I'm almost more in awe of the people

in awe of me than they are of me.

Outlaw, outlaw, outlaw

Everybody just be screaming,

and I get uncomfortable.

It's similar to a deer

caught in the headlights.

It's like a battle to find the right words

to say at the right time.

I live Thug Life

And let the money come to me

Because they could never take

The game from a young G

I'm getting money

It was cool. I got to speak to young

black males all over the country

about this new idea

called "Thug Life"...

...which is a new kind

of Black Power.

When I say, "Thug Life",

I mean that sh*t

because these white folks

see us as thugs.

I don't care if you think you a lawyer,

a man, an African-American.

If you whatever the f***

you think you are,

we thugs and niggas

to these motherfuckers!

Until we own some sh*t,

I'll call it like it is.

How you gonna be a man
