Summary

All of us, at some point or another, have to do things we don't want, in a way we don't want to, and be subject to circumstances or even people outside of our control. But it's how you respond, and how long you stay in this position that really matters.

In this classic Tupac interview, 'Pac explains the real crime in being "pimped" as his interviewer calls it, and why the "come up" is the most important thing. #BARS

0:00.0	Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. It's your host, Nees Showbo. Today's another episode of bars.
0:05.3	It's where I break down, either an excerpt from a book I'm reading, a clip from an interview that I watched, or of course, a lyric from a song that I listen to.
0:16.9	Today is a very powerful, powerful clip.
0:21.2	One of my heroes, one of the people that I respect and admire the most.
0:25.5	There's few people who I really admire and Tupac is one of those, not just because he was
0:29.5	an amazing artist, but that's not really the main thing, but it was his passion and his
0:37.0	aggressiveness that really, that I admire the most, his
0:41.7	fearlessness, his ability to articulate himself and his willingness to articulate himself
0:46.3	in such a way that challenged so much of what we thought and believed. And it is very fun when
0:53.2	you go back and listen to a lot of the stuff he was
0:55.1	saying in the 90s, how relevant it is now and how so many, even with all the extra freedom
1:01.5	and all the other benefits that are given to a lot of us now, how he was willing to sacrifice

1:37.1	walk-ons are pretty much like unpaid interns. And they don't get a lot of love. Now, I wasn't really
1:43.9	sure about a lot of the politics behind it,
1:46.1	or even rules, quite frankly. I wasn't sure. So when I got on the team, I felt like I was on
1:50.5	a team. I know I didn't have a scholarship. But I remember, before school started, I was eating
1:57.2	meals with the team and, you know, would go and eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, all of that. And it was actually amazing food. I actually put on like 10 pounds right away
2:04.2	just because the food was so good. It was like a, it was like a buffet three times a day, right?
