<p dir="auto">Just speculation.<br />
If he was alive today, would he still be making music?<br />
Would he be a father?<br />
Would he still be an actor?<br />
Would he befd8 a politician?<br />
Would he have supported Barack?<br />
How would he have felt about people downloading his songs for free, if he wasn't going to make $$$ off them? He wanted people to hear his music, but he also wanted to get paid.<br />
I love Tupac, but in a way I'm glad he got to live in the 90s and avoided the the post-9/11 world.  He avoided dealing with the extra security and oppression of people, the high price of gas, the recession.<br />
I wonder what he would be politically active towards?<br />
I highly doubt he would've been an environmentalist, for example, as I don't think rappers care that much about stuff like that, they have other things going on like human rights.<br />
I wonder what he would've said about illegal immigration.  Or gun control.  Or foreign policy.<br />
I wonder what his taste in cars would have been?  Audi R8? Ferrari? New Rolls?<br />
His taste in clothes?<br />
All I can do is wonder, sadly.</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't know about Ariana Grande.  She's such a fairy in comparison to Tupac.  I can't see him relating to her or most young musicians out today.</p>

<p dir="auto">I think he would definitely be making the news more for politics instead of arrests by now. He'd probably be partaking in social activities made to align races and better the youth living in urban areas without hope, just as he said he wanted to do, before he passed. He was on a mission to go all the way for his people to attain the love and respect, they've been neglected to have for ages, and if he succeeded, then maybe America would be seeing less police brutality, more support for minorities when they're getting axed in presidential elections, and almost no boycotts in the entertainment industry, or no rallies like the "Black Lives Matter" campaign happening.<br />
I can't forget about Africa. I mean afterall, Tupac's race and struggle are rooted there, and the suffering is even worse than in America. I have no doubt he'd make helping those in need overseas a priority. Especially black people.<br />
As far as the entertainment business goes, his professionalism would probably still be unmatchable, and he might've taken home some Grammys, and a couple of Oscars by now. He had a lot of experience fueling his talent on screen and in the studio. He was realistic, sympathetic, cultured, and often sensitized. I think his talent definitely would've payed off big time, and the world would be a better place for it.<br />
In the midst of all his work, i've compiled a list o16d0f people who I think he would've either loved or hated in the world of politics and entertainment.<br />
His peers:<br />
Jada Pinkett Smith<br />
Will Smith<br />
Denzel Washington<br />
Mike Tyson<br />
Al Sharpton<br />
Quincy Jones<br />
Omar Epps<br />
Samuel L. Jackson<br />
Jamie Foxx<br />
Cuba Gooding Jr.<br />
Dwayne Johnson<br />
Steve Harvey<br />
Sinbad<br />
Dave Chappelle<br />
Angela Bassett<br />
Queen Latifah<br />
Taraji P. Henson<br />
Gabrielle Union<br />
Sanaa Lathan<br />
Tatyana Ali<br />
Whoopi Goldberg<br />
Halle Berry<br />
Janet Jackson<br />
Rosie Perez<br />
Jennifer Lopez<br />
Rihanna<br />
Ashanti<br />
Madonna<br />
DMX<br />
The Lox<br />
Treach(Naughty by Nature)<br />
The Wu-Tang Clan<br />
Ice-T<br />
Fat Joe<br />
KRS-One<br />
Common<br />
John Legend<br />
Kendrick Lamar<br />
J. Cole<br />
Kobe Bryant<br />
Allen Iverson<br />
John Cena<br />
Chelsea Handler<br />
Howard Stern<br />
Bernie Sanders<br />
Robert De Niro<br />
Al Pacino<br />
Leonardo DICaprio<br />
Tom Hanks<br />
Hugh Jackman<br />
Brad Pitt<br />
Angelina Jolie<br />
Sandra Bullock<br />
Charlize Theron<br />
Sharon Stone<br />
Reese Witherspoon<br />
His enemies:<br />
Donald Trump<br />
Bill O' Reilly<br />
Rick Ross and Maybach Music<br />
Kanye West<br />
The Kardashians<br />
Meek Mill<br />
Nicki Minaj<br />
Stacey Dash<br />
Undecided:<br />
50 Cent- Who knows what would've been if Tupac and 50 Cent were both present in Hip-Hop at the same time. I mean, they both grew up around drug dealers, they both made common friends and enemies, they both survived getting shot, and they're probably the two most controversial rappers ever. With this in mind, I think they either would've had the ultimate friendship, or the ultimate "Beef" in music history.<br />
Eminem- Either Tupac would've pulled a Benzino on Em and held his race accountable for his success, or he would've appreciated the support Em has shown him, and his talent.<br />
Ja Rule- If Tupac saw more than just an "image" from him like his friends did, then they could've been cool.<br />
Jay-Z- I don't know here. He's a successful, rich, black man, but he seems to be good at business more than anything.<br />
Game- Jimmy Henchman was his manager, and the same guy responsible for getting Tupac shot in New York in 1994. I'm not sure if Game could have peace with both of them.<br />
Floyd Mayweather- Another arrogant, averaged height, black man. I'm not sure if Tupac would've taken the relation well.</p>

<p dir="auto">It was there it just wasn't as exposed like today because now we have Facebook,Twitter,instagram ..I doubt he'll still be rapping though. I think he would encourage people thru his mistake not to make the same ones.</p>

Yes on a all accounts based off a gridlock interview i think he would of jumped into more film work.He would of kept doing music just not as much for sure would of gotten involved with politics .I don't know about him showing support for barack obama .Pac was a critical thinker he understood social climate and how that correlates with choosing a good president.He would of stayed up on the fashion for sure he pioneered rappers wearing versace.Obviously he would be for carrying a gun seeing as how if he still lived he survived being shot twice .<br />
Let's face it, people hate art movies. Especially when they are not expecting an art movie"</p>

<p dir="auto">He'd probably be in prison, or would be out there impregnating a bunch of hoes, and hiding from child support obligations.<br />
Then he'd probably come out and admit he's gay, and get a reality show where he looks for youn7ecg black men to sleep with.</p>

<p dir="auto">If Tupac was alive todayhe'd be clawing madly at the lid of that coffin, let me tell ya.</p>

<p dir="auto">If he was around today with all the music that has come out since his death.I'd say he probably would be a owner of a record label.He might just and album once every two years .He really wouldnt need to do it as much i think he would for sure move more into doing films.He definitely would of gotten more polcitical and would of been on obamas campaign.<br />
Before he died he talked about working towards making a political party for his <a href="http://people.So" rel="nofollow ugc">people.So</a> politics would of been his other avenue i think for sure tupac and gun control???? LOLOL. He's probably be for it seeing as how if he were still alive would have lived through two shootings.Pac was a owner of guns a legal owner so i dont think he would be against having them.Just towards practicing greater restraint with them.<br />
My personal and honest opinion i think had pac lived he would of been considered a enemy of state.Loud mouthed intelligent radical that routine worked back when he was around .Now i think they'd be trying to silence him more for speaking out like they are doing with alot of people like him.He would for sure be a leader in the rap community .Probably be some kind of rap embassador whenever beef was going down.One thing is for sure we wouldnt have the weak rappers we have now in the game mucking it up.<br />
Therefore we may call that art true at which does not seem to be art."</p>

<p dir="auto">If he were alive today first off he'd be pissed at people downloading his <em>beep</em> .Go watch immortal thug.He trashes some dudes bootlegging stand for having his tapes .Tupac would of mobbed on anyone who was tryna dick ride him or jack his <em>beep</em>  pac was a traditional <a href="http://artist.In" rel="nofollow ugc">artist.In</a> that ,he made sure his works were protected and werent available to be copied.Would he have kids ? of course would he support barack ? of course .I hones2000tly think he would winde up more like mos def where rapping would be a part time gig.He would dedicate more of himself to movies as he was originally trained as and actor.Plus ,he was classically trained in the baltimore school of arts.<br />
"If you want art, don't mess about with<br />
movies. Buy a Picasso"</p>
