Tupac audition video before he was Tupac
by Gigliola: Tupac Shakur
There's footage of Tupac at an acting audition, back before he turned into the legend, and his personality in it reads as completely different. It might not even be real, could be AI. Or maybe that's just how people evolve. Or a third option: the people selling talent treat it like a product, and if they don't see one they can move, they bend the person until they do. Which explanation lands for you?

Did you see that video of, apparently it was Tupac before he basically became Tupac? It could have been AI generated, but it was him as an actor at this audition type thing, and it was a very, very different persona. Could totally have been AI. What did you take away from that, though? I think it was a pretty radical change in his demeanor, temperament, personality. It seemed like someone talked to him and was like, if you act like this, I can market it a lot better. because he was, because like, it was a much more kind of like feminine vibe, right? Like what it was that he was, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like, not just that, but like, just seemed very different from the persona that people have, that knew and loved, right? And people can change. I'm not saying that that's not impossible, but it seemed like a pretty radical shift. Totally. Totally. To be like a straight gangster rapper. At the end of the day, like the talent is seen as a product, right? By the people who are pushing it. And so if they don't think it's a product, they can market it. They'll try to bend you and shape you into something that they feel like they can.
