MTV dug up an old clip of Tupac Shakur from 1992 where the hip-hop legend talks about money and greed. The MTV News interview was conducted right before Tupac dropped 2Pacalypse Now. In the video he talks about our the level of greed that span’s across America, even using Donald Trump as an example. “This world is such a — and when I say this world I mean it, I don’t mean in an ideal sense, I mean in an everyday, every little thing you do — it’s such a, ‘Gimme, gimme, gimme! Everybody, back off!’ You know, everybody’s taught that from school. Everywhere, big business, ‘You want to be successful? 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 and it’s like nobody ever stops.” Tupac then goes on to talk about the difference between the rich and the poor and how poor people need assistance. “For us to be on our own two feet — us meaning youth, us meaning black people, whatever you want to take it for — for us to be on our own two feet we do need help… it’s like, you got a friend that you don’t never look out for,” he told MTV News. “Now America got jewels, they’re paid and everything. Lending money to everyone except us. And it’s like, everybody needs a little help on their way to being self-reliant.”
