' I'm saying that we are overcome. Nobody can talk about pain like Tupac. No one knows it like me," he says. "It separates me from other rappers. All that pain I"m talking about in my rap, you can see it.".

Apparently, this pain is not just something he works out in his music or in his acting - it's something he carries into his relationships with women, with his peers, with authority figures. He seems incapable of separating art from life. First, there was Oakland: In 1991, Tupac was arrested for jaywalking and resisting arrest, and has a $10 million claim against the police for alleged brutality. Then, in 1992, during a confrontation with old acquaintances at a festival celebrating Marin City's fiftieth anniversary, a 6-year-old boy was shot in the head. No criminal charges have been filed against Tupac, but a civil-suit is pending. Later that year, a Texas woman filed a multimillion dollar civil suit against him, claiming that the young black man who killed her husband - a cop - was influenced by Tupac's music. Then there is 1002's In Living Color incident. Tupac had just arrived at the Fox lot to tape a segment when he claims that his "limo-driver disrespected my homeboy, screaming at him like he was less than a man. Then the limo driver went to his trunk. We didn't know if the guy was getting a gun or what." Tupac and his friend jumped out of the car and allegedly attacked the driver. Tupac was arrested but the charges have been dropped. One of Tupac's most intense criminal charges was the sexual assault case in New York. According to Tupac and his lawyers : Tupac and several friends went to the club Nell's on Sunday, November 12, and it was there that he met the 20-year-old woman who post club began calling him, and "what she said happened did not happen. I never touched her. I feel like somebody's setting me p because I"m Tupac Shakur. My mother was a Panther.
