With Donald Trump's Republican bid for the President of the United States looking very much like a strong possibility these days, MTV News has unearthed a timely find from their archives which found the late, great, Tupac Shakur, commenting on income inequality and specifically Donald Trump's own ethos when it came to making money.

In the August 1992 interview, Shakur said of Trump, "If you want to be successful, if you want to be like Trump, gimme, gimme, gimme. Push, push, push. Step, step, step. Crush, crush, crush. That’s how it all is, it’s like nobody ever stops."

He also addressed the need to help those that had been systemically oppressed, saying, “Everybody’s smart to know that we’ve been slighted and we want ours. And I don’t mean by ‘ours,’ 40 acres and a mule because we’re past that. But we need help. For us to be on our own two feet, us meaning youth or us meaning black people, whatever you want to take it for, for us to be on our own two feet we do need help.”
