One day I was looking at my top 5 rappers info.
Speaker AI wanted to see what made them want to rap.
Speaker AI soon ran into a little problem.
Speaker AThe list of rappers kept getting longer and longer.
Speaker ANot my top five list, but the list of rappers who had Gemini or Virgo in their chart.
Speaker ADon't get me wrong, not all rappers have Gemini or Virgo signatures, but a lot of the big names do.
Speaker AEnough to make me want to make this podcast.
Speaker AWith that said, imma begin with my first rapper.
Speaker AI'm starting off with my one of my favorite rappers of all time, Tupac.
Speaker ANot only was Tupac a Gemini sun, he also has Mercury and Venus in Gemini.
Speaker AI also find it interesting that his Saturn is 29 degrees Taurus, which means it's right at the edge of Gemini.
Speaker AAnd he had a Aries moon.
Speaker ATaurus rules values and security.
Speaker AAries is the warrior.
Speaker AWhen I think of Tupac, he fought Aries for a certain type of value system, Taurus, in which he communicated through his raps.
Speaker AOne of the last astrological aspects about Tupac I found interesting is he has Mars in Aquarius.
Speaker AAquarius is like friends and associates.
Speaker AMars is malefic planet.
Speaker AAnd it could be like enemies.
Speaker AAnd it could be said that Tupac's downfall was his association with Suge Knight and Death Row Rockets.
Speaker ADeuce, you have any thoughts on Tupac?
Speaker BYeah, you mentioned your top five rappers.
Speaker BTupac is right there, number one for me.
Speaker BHe was, you know, me being from the bay, big got big respect for the Panthers.
Speaker BAnd, you know, Pac was.
Speaker BWas born into the panther life.
Speaker BYou know, he was raised the Panther way, so he revolutionary.
Speaker AWould you say the Panther way is a certain value system?
Speaker BAbsolutely.
Speaker BTor Taurus Panther way is about independence, self independence, being able to, as a people, provide for yourself and your families and your community, you know, and provide and protect, you know.
Speaker BSo if you listen to Pac, a lot of his rhymes were about the struggle and about oppression and about being a strong, independent black man in America and the way that that makes a lot of people afraid.
Speaker AEverything you're talking about right now is speaking to his Aries moon sign.
Speaker AAries is the warrior moon, is emotions and feelings.
Speaker AAnd so Tupac fought fiercely for the things that topics that you were just saying.
Speaker BThat's right.
Speaker BThat's right.
Speaker BAnd he was able to do it in a way that wasn't preachy.
Speaker BHe just felt like he was one of the homies.
Speaker BBut he made you want to stand up for yourself and be a part of this struggle that he talked about in his rhymes.
Speaker BYou know, he was, like I say he was just a revolutionary, you know what I mean, in the sense that he felt like it was time for black folks to step up and take the crown.
Speaker AWhere do you put him on your top five?
Speaker BOh, like I say, he's number one on my list, you know, just because not only did he talk talk, but he walked the walk, you know what I mean?
Speaker BLike the shoot, when he shot those police in Atlanta, you know, those off duty cops in Atlanta because they were harassing a black man, you know what I mean?
Speaker BAnd the fact that when he was getting robbed, he didn't just bow down and let them take what was his, they damn near had to kill him for it, you know what I mean?
Speaker BA lot of people or a lot of these rappers get on the mic or get in the booth and start talking all that stuff about, you know, how gangster they are, but how much do we really know about who they are and what they would do in these situations, you know?
Speaker BBut for Pac, the stuff that he said in his lyrics, he backed it up outside of the booth.
Speaker BAnd that was one of the main things that I respected about him.
Speaker AI have a question.
Speaker AWhat do you think contributed to his death and downfall?
Speaker BHe kind of had a self destructive personality, you know what I mean?
Speaker BLike the same things that made us respect him.
Speaker BSpeaking out and standing up for yourself and not biting your tongue, you know, sometimes diplomacy is needed.
Speaker BAnd, you know, me being a Gemini, I can understand that we are.
Speaker BDiplomacy is hard for us.
Speaker BIt's either one way or the other way, you know, And a lot of that, you see a lot of that in Pac.
Speaker BLike he.
Speaker BHe was.
Speaker BEither either you was down with him or you was an enemy, you know what I mean?
Speaker AWhat do you think about that last statement I made by.
Speaker AHis association with Suge and Death Row may have been his downfall.
Speaker BIt definitely was because they encourage that side of him, the self destructive side, the confrontational side.
Speaker BLike as a Gemini,.
Speaker ABy the way, I forgot you was a Gemini, which makes you perfect for this show.
Speaker BGo ahead, Gemini.
Speaker BIt's hard to sugarcoat stuff.
Speaker BLike, I hate to use the word real because it's so.
Speaker BIt's like cliche almost.
Speaker BKeep it real, be real, stay real, you know what I mean?
Speaker BBut as a Gemini, you're.
Speaker BIt's hard to.
Speaker AWell, as.
Speaker AAs an.
Speaker AAs the astrologer on the show, I would just say it depends on the level of Gemini you're on.
Speaker ABecause there's different.
Speaker AThere's low vibration, balance vibration and high vibration.
Speaker AAnd sometimes Lower vibration.
Speaker AGeminis don't be on the same wavelength.
Speaker ASo I think.
Speaker AI think his.
Speaker ASome of the stuff that you're talking about is actually speaking to his moon sign.
Speaker AThe fierceness, the.
Speaker AYou know.
Speaker ARight.
Speaker BBut not so much the fierceness.
Speaker AIt's like the self destructiveness.
Speaker ABecause Aries, when you.
Speaker AYou seen the movie 300.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BParts of it.
Speaker AOr how about the movie Troy with Brad Pitt?
Speaker ATroy, yeah.
Speaker AWhen he was a killer.
Speaker BYeah.
Speaker BI didn't see that.
Speaker AYeah.
Speaker AA long time ago.
Speaker AThat's Achilles.
Speaker ABrad Pitt's character is Think.
Speaker AThat's Ares.
Speaker AYou know how Brad Pitt got on his horse after his cousin got pissed off?
Speaker AI mean, killed and rode in front the gate and stood there like, come on out here.
Speaker AHe was out there by himself.
Speaker AThat's Tupac's moon.
Speaker BRight, right, right.
Speaker BAnd that's who Pac was.
Speaker BBut what I'm speaking to is more of a, like the diplomacy side of it.
Speaker BLike sometimes, like maybe some other signs, they're better with smooth.
Speaker BLike being smooth with your words to where you can say something and it'll go over a lot.
Speaker BA lot smoother.
Speaker BYou can say something that's kind of confrontational or kind of controversial, but it'll go over a lot smoother.
Speaker BWhereas as a Gemini, I know I had this problem.
Speaker BI just say what's on my mind directly, straight and plain.
Speaker BAnd that's how Pac was.
Speaker BI mean, he just said what was on his mind.
Speaker BThe way it came out was the way it came out, whether it was harsh or whether it was confrontational or whether it was something else.
Speaker BSo he just came real plain.
Speaker BIt's hard to be diplomatic with your words as a Gemini.
Speaker AWell, I'm glad that you're saying all this because that gives us a perfect segue into our next rapper.
