The Philadelphia Daily News reports that Bill Cosby voiced some issues he has with the legacy of the late Tupac Shakur at a Save Our Children forum in Philadelphia yesterday.

 

The comedian, never shy to offer critical words, announced his displeasure with the idea that Tupac was once able to provide for his mother by selling drugs.

 

Sayeth the Coz: "In the book, 'To Momma With Love,' or something like that, he is so happy that he's able to take money from selling cocaine and give the money to his mother. How wonderful. Isn't that wonderful. You've got to be kidding. How many lives have you ruined selling packets? How many mothers are not going to go to work because they want to snort? How many dead mothers because of crack, how many babies we got to make turn around because they are crack babies?"

 

The remarks came as part of Cosby's keynote address in which he also railed against violence and what he perceives to be a lack of responsible parenting in the African-American community.
