That's actually what I love most about him... he'd make a track like "So Many Tearz" which is mournful and honestly vulnerable. And then he'd do something like "Hit Em Up" which is so angry and violent. And yet, critics were quick to yell "hypocrite", when really he was just being human. Remember, he was all about throwing things down on tape immediately. Imagine if every feeling you had was recorded as it happened (not after you had time to cool-down or rationalize). I think he was big on documenting human emotion while it was real, not later from a different view.
