As far as tupac being a role model, that's where you can start fixing your pRoblem. There are many white kids who idolize black athletes and musicians. Why would a black parent limit their child's role models to some punk who dresses and talks like tupac? If that's how you want your kid to end up by all means, have them look up to tupac. He was 27/28 yo when he died? He got real far.
Let's not forget that Tupac was a victim of gun violence. He would be 46 years old today if his life weren't tragically taken away from him. Who knows what sort of trajectory his career would have taken by now, what type of music he'd be doing, etc.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
