ELI5: Please explain why Tupac deserves to be revered? (not criticizing, just really curious)
gpt
Tupac advocated strongly for communities to take care of themselves, since the government had failed them so spectacularly. He was an inspiration to a lot of poor children who could see no way out of their situation except for crime. 

 He attempted to unite a lot of inner city gangs, to try and end the violence against each other, and instead turn it against the police and government officials who he saw as actively oppressing poor black people.  

 This message was not well received by public officials, and it is widely suspected that Tupac and Biggy smalls were assassinated by "the feds" in an attempt to divide the gangs and turn them against themselves. A tactic, which if intentional, largely worked. 

 It has been further speculated that the commercial "gangsta rap" which sprung up soon after Tupac's death was an extension of that plan, to distort the original rebellious message of rap, and turn its appeal to inner city youth into capitalist propaganda. Again, if this was intentional, it has been very successful.
