Four years before Tupac Shakur’s tragic and untimely death he sat down for a wide-ranging interview with MTV News – you know, back when they actually cared about music.
It was August of 1992 when Tupac happened to make a seemingly offhand comment about Trump that is pretty relevant today.
If you want to be successful, if you want to be like Trump, gimme, gimme, gimme. Push, push, push, push. Step, step, step. Crush, crush, crush. That’s how it all is, it’s like nobody ever stops.
Everybody’s smart enough to know that we’ve been slighted, and we want ours. And I don’t mean forty acres and a mule, because we’re past that. But we need help.
By using Trump as an example, he spoke about the multitude of wealthy people who are selfish for keeping their wealth to themselves, when there are people literally starving on the streets from years of historical circumstances. He even called out Michael Jackson for not doing enough.
There’s no way that these people should own planes and these people don’t have houses, apartments, shacks, drawers, pants.
Even if you earned it, you still owe.
If I have three-thousand dollars in my pocket, I feel like it’s wrong to give that person a quarter or a dollar.
Can you imagine someone has $32 million and this person has nothing? And you can sleep?
Fast forward 24 years later and Donald Trump, who’s worth $10 billion (according to himself), has not given any personal money to charity over the past five years.
Pity the idea that we all live in a meritocracy is so prevalent.
