Damn, This is becoming my favorite interview of year. Very close to the Kevin Murray legendary madness. Billy is keeping real and speaking his mind and truth about what’s happened to his son PAC. 🙏🏾
@@johnjacobs6718how can you call him deadbeat when he raises other of his kids?he said before that he look for pac even pac was told that he has passed away by his mom.
@@damienmarksllx right. i was the perfect church boy. went to school, never smoke weed, smoke,drink,cut school, never miss church, clean,cook,did homework, never had a girlfriend or sex, or did hard work and was a good kid. always followed the bible. and my stepdad treated me like how 2pac rap gimmick was. and he never admitted his wrongdoings. my stepmom too.
This man is not lying. Speaking firsthand as a business owner I can honestly say that when you are first getting started everything is safe. If you are not properly connected in the right channels, the minute your success starts to become publicly known you become a target. The bullseye doesn't come off until you are dead or at least neutralized. They have a way to either capitalize from your absence or they've figured out how to simply take your business and turn a magnified profit. It is about dollars made and dollars to be made and nothing less. If the safeguards aren't in place you are walking dead.
its deeper than that.. its about the children.. THAT iS THE BUiSNESS!!! if u a black boy havin babies they go separate u.. which is why we gettin this conversation.. and once they separate the head of the child they can feel it up wit bullshit.. and momma cool wit it.. she sold the movement out for a rock?! 🤡🤡🤡
Nobody even knew that from 1995 to 1996 both Eazy E and Tupac were being threatened by the sociopathic terrorist group the Jewish Defence League. That's on top of Pac being heavily monitored and manipulated by COINTELPRO.
Billy Garland Comes across very sincere. When he speaks about his son you can hear the pride and the love in his voice I know there’s things 2Pac‘s mother went through, and she means a lot to the black power movement. We should always lift her up and celebrate her, but there is two sides to every story. A lot of us have had the experience of our moms gassing us up about our fathers Only to find out later our mothers kept us away from our father for their own selfish reasons I’m just glad he’s getting to tell his side of it before he leaves this world. I am a witness to relatives who go through struggles with substance abuse, and the instability that substance abuse brings about I can very easily see a scenario where, even if he want it to turn the entire world upside down looking for his son, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. When you’re being evicted every three months before you can get the boxes, unpacked good, you have to move that can make it very difficult for anyone who wants to find you to be able to do so I had a Auntie like that God rest her soul, there were times where we actually thought we would have to have her declared dead Because we couldn’t find her or my cousin we would go to her last known address and people would say Deborah moved out five months ago so all I’m saying is everybody should be fair and listen to the man side of the story with an open mind and try to put yourself in his shoes and put yourself in 2Pac‘s mothers shoes for that matter Because like I said, a lot of instability and moving around comes with addiction and substance abuse.
He didnt want to turn the world upside down for his son though. He was very much a deadbeat. 2pac was not his only kid. He was a deadbeat to all his kids.
@@zay914 I have never heard anyone make that claim where did you hear that at? Is it some thing he admitted to and where can I find those particular sources that back to those claims up?
@@dro2real836 he admited it in the interview and his children have denied just about everything he said in the past plus all of pacs family and friends that where around him said pac the real relationship. He feels bad and wants to make it sound like what it wasnt so he can cope with it. He was never in any of his childrens lives on a consitent basis and was as much of a drug abuser as pacs mom back in the day.
@@zay914 Pacs mother was a junkie and deadbeat herself. she only loved Pac because he was a multi millionaire. she didn't hesitate to take him off life support when surgeons told her he would only have one lung and be confined to a wheel chair, therefore he was worth more dead than alive to her. she blew through his estate letting the jews exploit her dead sons with dozens of documentaries and albums and yet she died penniless and now Pacs sister doing the same.

People who say 2pac's wasn't really himself don't actually listen to the lyrics. They act like the guy constantly portrayed this tough gangsta. Every album he's made has songs which are vulnerable and violent, even before his debut album 2pacolypse Now, yet some prefer to focus only on the violent and build his whole personality around that. I've listened to pretty much every song of 2pac, even the "unreleased" ones (my favourites) and I've never heard Pac claim a gang or make any false claims towards his lifestyle. I take it that people just hear something and run with it like it's the truth. Similar to how they say Pac always rhymes "Hennessey" with "enemies". That was literally 2 songs. People need to think for themselves.
Henessu and enemies way more than two songs. Pac was from MOB PIRU. And he repped on more than 10 songs. Just accept it. His own words contradicted you. Peace bruh

Plus the All Eyez on Me album was so complex. Yes he had songs where he was full of fun and some where he was angry but he also still had the same reflective and introspective Tupac that he always had been. People think he changed completely when he went to Death Row. Not necessarily. Yeah he wasn’t the “same” but that happens after dealing with so much and Pac dealt with a lot in a short amount of time.

Why would I be triggered at stupidity, doubting the literal words out of dudes mouth. Pac said "stick a needle in my eye if I don't live or die for M.O.B" lol. He died repping MOB, sad way to go out.

In 1996 I bought a single tape of “ how do u want it” there was an address on the back for 2pac fan club. I had seen a MTV video interview and Tupac said he went broke fighting court battles. I was in 11th grade and I worked two jobs and sold green. I sent 40 dollars to his fan club. I wrote some ideas for songs and wrote that my grandfather had a panther tattoo like his on his arm and he just passed. A short time later TUPAC was killed…. a month later i got a letter in the mail from DEATHROW. They made me a honorary member of his fan club… it was signed 2pac I had that letter on my wall then I folded it put it in a book and i moved out of my parents house And they literally sold everything i left there The book included!! I still get mad over that!! I had all the Voltrons and my tupac sign paper Smh
Check out cougnut , he rapped in the 90's and was better than Tupac,😢 sorry I said it. Song called don't get it twisted or another one called the last breath
this part here @4:07 is the deepest part of the interview to me. Pac needed more talks like that wit his father. he was inpulsive & never had a father teach him how to manage his inpulses. then once he’d calm down, he’d recognize he went too hard. as intelligent as Pac was, he was still a young man who needed his Dad to balance him. as we all do. the brief talk wit Billy shows him actually answerin to a father figure, who is his actual father.
That’s cool he had Mutulu but it’s not the same when it’s for blood father who you actually look like. Please stop with the father figures and promote biological fathers. This shyt is pathetic and the powers that be want us to promote Father figures and mentors when we all have biological fathers that are being robbed.
@@yvesbony8571 Mutulu is who 2Pac got that revolutionary spirit from. Mutulu got booked for breaking Assata out of prison & for robbing the Brinks truck
He didn't mention Billy and fact he asking his uncle for family history and about his siblings if him and Billy was talking why would he be asking his uncle...Billy is a liar
@@kinggeorge9331 you're hilarious. If you read that letter w/o bias, you can see that Pac is merely geeked to the fact that his uncle's a writer...a trait that Pac has aswell. Based off that connection, he's just going on because he's realizing there's so much about himself he may learn from them. Now, I know you're going to say, "well why not just ask his father?" Well, I'm going to ask you...where do you think he got his Uncle's address from to write him? If you look at the visitor's list, you clearly see that other than his lawyer, Billy Garland (Relationship: Parent) visits him a few times, a Paulette Garland (Relationship: Other) visits him, and another Garland (Relationship: Sibling) visits him. Those other Garland's would have only known to visit him because of Billy. Therefore it's safe to assume that Billy isn't hiding anything from him and that Pac is simply gassed to see where some of his talents are coming from and is trying to simply be w/ them and get as much info from them as possible. He's probably asked them ALL the same questions over and over because he's seeing his own traits in them and is just happy to learn.
“Throw some money and I’ll be on my way”… but you wasn’t seeking money. Which is it, sir? I promise you I am not on some anti-Billy bullshit but dude keeps contradicting himself.
Why cant we let LIFE play itself out. If you are a TRUE TUPAC Fan/Family - you should understand the Beauty of getting to know the other half of The Greatest to ever do it. This is a Fun - Beautiful Ride that we are witnessing and the Legacy Continues to other Chapters.....
😂😂😂 it's fun and exciting seeing the struggles and hardships of someone trying to make it in life you are actually entertained by this the lack of comprehension is very low
Yep, only certain people have that ability. Pac was one of those people you stopped what you were doing to get a sound byte. Billy Garland is the same way.
In a weird way, I feel like we all got cheated! Meaning.. for Pac's genuine fans, the story was always that his Dad was dead, wasn't around, etc.. I just feel that had all the cards been laid on the table early on in Pac's life, we would've witnessed a different side of Pac. He got cheated, and in turn, we got cheated!
Yes, That Is A True Fact Indeed. And Many Others Like Jadakiss, Cam'ron (Who Also Met Biggie through Mase), and Lil Cease from Junior Mafia has confirmed that fact in various interviews.
I didn't really know my biological father very well and only remember seeing and talking with him on a handful of occassions. People always told me that I look just like him and that we had many common characteristics and behaviors. I wasn't old enough to remember my mom and dad splitting up or wh, but someone told me years ago when I was about 18 to never badmouth my father because of that reason, and that I at least knew who my father was and has his name and many don't even know that much, and I have always kept that advice to heart, despite Western society trying to teach everyone to demonize an absent and/or non-financially supporting father. For those who believe in the Bible it says to honor your Mother and Father and I didn't see any exceptions to that verse. And if someone doesn't criticize their parents then why should anyone else have the right to criticize them?
No one is above criticism. An absent father should be demonized if the reason for his absence is unjustifiable and he hasn't done anything to make amends. Regarding the Bible, it also says that anyone who doesn't support his family, especially those of his own household has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. I think context is key. The target audience for the passage about honoring one's parents wasn't those who didn't know their parents.
@@rdrgz7868 I don't condone anyone abusing kids or anyone else and someone doesn't have to be someone's parent to abuse them. I don't know whether you've been abused or not but myself personally won't speak from a perspective that I don't have personally and I will leave it to those who have to speak from that perspective if they choose. And I did specify "for those who believe in the Bible".
@@J2theK The Bible doesn't say anything about the justifiable criticism that you speak of for a parent coming from a human being, which is something I believe I made clear that I was talking about. And if I hear anyone criticizing either my father who I didn't really know nor he me, or my mother who I know well and has done a lot for me, regarding criticism of their parenting of me or lack thereof, then me and that person are going to have a problem that would have to be dealt with.
Did he just say give me a couple dollars and I’d be on my way ??? That’s fucced up !!! I personally think that he wasn’t entitled to any of pac’s money period point blank
For the most part he comes off pretty genuine and ok. There was one little slip though towards the end of this video where he says I’m not asking for half the estate just give me a couple dollars and I’ll be on my way. Now if he wasn’t in Pac’s life growing up for whatever reason but then connects with him later in life, does he really deserve anything financial wise? That was a little telling just saying
@@gentlemanmob He met his son and they spoke, so i think he knows Tupac more than u do is the point. You cannot dismiss the fact that his ex, Afeni lied to their son that he was dead while moving around the country pre social media. she was more wrong than him
I’m so glad with this interview cause now we may see mister Garland from a different perspective. With the new information we get to understand more that era in time.
Im glad as a Day #1 Pac nigga his Father Finally getting his side of story out. I was in the situation were my child's mother lied to my Son. Almost turned my son against me. Never underestimate a mother power to her Son and how they wanna maintain that power. Powerful interview.
So that's why Officer whatshisname is running his mouth about this man. He's speaking the raw uncut truth. After years of not knowing you're not someone's father, you just can't hop back in there life. It takes time. Just like any other trust-based relationship. Respect 🙏🏼
He is entitled to his opinion, there's 3 sides to a story and Reggie Wright said maybe he was being a bit harsh cause he hadn't seen the other segments,but 15 years is a long time though
@@Allah0791 that's why wait ✋️, listen and observe. Allah bestowed upon us His Patience. We should do the same. That's why it says we should think three times before we speak.
I didn’t know a description of car was given. A four door white Cadillac with California plates. Reports differ, two men or four. Why are there no cctv at all its Vegas hmmm
1. The Royalty issue … standard time to receive. You don’t drop an album in May then receive the royalties in October. Pac was in the business long enough to understand that. Pac was an incredible artist but his business acumen was not on that level. I believe with the help of Quincy Jones he would have gradually improved on the business side. Napoleon even said in retrospect that Pac wasn’t good on the business side. He was 25 at the time. We can only speculate on what anyone who passed at an early age would have become.
It’s still odd that he had several records under Digital Underground and several movies out and he couldn’t bail himself out nor his record label was willing to do so.
True but who’s business was straight in the mid 90’s 25yrs or younger? The movie rolls he had lined up were gonna override the music shyt just like all the other artists from that era, Cube, Will, Latifah, etc
@@FCM415e have to remember he was like 19 when he signed with Interscope and broke. Think he actually was living at Afeni’s apartment after they reconciled (she had kicked her drug habit). So imagine being a starving artist thinking all that glitters is gold. If you don’t have a smart team behind you, you’re gonna get screwed.
PAC sold over 2.5 million in less than a year. He has been recouped those recording and marketing expenses. PAC asked for his profit and loss statements and never got them. I believe it came out after his passing that PAC's royalties were paying for other artists expenses. If he wasnt good on business he would not have been working so hard from Oct '95 to Sept '96. He was trying to build his empire. The DR "licensing" thing he did was actually smart. 3 album agreement -he comes with a double and then completes Makaveli by August '96 thus completing the agreement. That's why he was moving forward. Formed a new production company and had leverage to move on creatively.
He’s insinuating that Suge pumped his head up with the East vs West mess yet Tupac felt gas on the fire was the “WHO Shot Ya” track. PAC also felt the Biggie knew who shot him and he wasn’t on Death Row when he got shot so how is Suge to blame for that.
I am not doubting that Billy Garland is 2pacs father. However, it is a bad look that he sued Afeni and tried to get 900k from Pacs estate. This is the argument alot of people are trying to make in regards to his father’s intentions. He says he wasn’t after the estate but at the end of this video he says “just throw me a couple of dollars and I’ll be on my way” I think he should of been more concerned with finally having his son in his life rather than getting paid. What made Billy think he should of received any money at all?
Exactly, but these bandits are eating this nonsense up because they want to believe their deadbeat dads truly loved them too despite never attempting to develop a relationship 😂😂
After the first interview I had formed a negative opinion of this man... Especially immediately after that first interview, Reggie Wright did a response video on Bomb First and called this man a 'deadbeat' and gave his narrow viewpoint about this man (which I almost bought into)... But after listening to him word for word, I can can only thank Art for providing this man this platform to speak his mind like this and give his viewpoints, and I can thoroughly say the man is genuine, he never made excuses for not being there but gave a very valid explanation and is very well spoken and has a great degree of diplomacy (I can see where PAC got that from - his Mom & Pups) (and Reggie, must withdraw his judgemental statements)... In fact, Reggie on certain issues, I will rather believe a guy who himself looks like he can be a fibber (Keefe D), over Reggie one some issues in dispute. More so, since he Mobb James have such a great rapport, despite Keefe D and others lamenting that Mobb James and Suge were an FBI snitches (that puts Reggie also in that same basket)... And that brings us back to what Tupac's Pops is saying here, that there was more to PAC's death than meets the eye.
Mr.Garland they did more for your son in a few months than what you did in his entire 25yrs!!!! So I say that to say this! How dare! You sit! Up there and speak on Brother Tupac life experience and his journey and decision making when you! Being the Farther! Never!!!!!! Instill! Manhood #101 inside of him! The Audacity!!!!!! Mr.Garland! That's not right!
And he makes sense Too. To be Honest, Pac & Big was moving towards Larger things. Think about it, Pac had the "Outlawz" and was about to launch his own material ect, he wouldve blew up bigger tha Suge. And same for Biggie, he had "Junior Mafia, team up w Undeas ent., he could've been higher than Diddy. So I wouldn't DOUBT their Bosses ect felt threatened. I wouldn't Put it Pass em
You cant. People have been killed for less. Wives have kill husbands and vice versa and who knows what other shit has went on that people don't know. The love of money is the biggest root.
You know the strange thing, everybody has missed one important name in all of this, and that's interscope Jimmy Iovine, the man who had everything to lose, if pac was still alive, but in his death he gained the most
I said to much, had to delete my last comment, but puff is the reason why biggie is dead. The murder is more complicated than it seems, it was ordered from harlem, eastcoast and carried out from california, westcoast
This is the best interview of the year! Art you keep out doing yourself! Shout out to the interviewer as well as 2 Pac father...Afeni shorten 2 pac life by not given him the guidance of his real father
I think hes bitter because his son did not left him wealth. Wasnt Tupac bailed out of jail for 1 mil and did tupac rent the studios and payed for the production of the songs? From what i see in the documentaries tupac was born poor and died poor . Which money did they rob from him?
As a diehard 2pac fan, I never knew some of these stories. I'm glad they're coming to light. It's like I'm looking at a older Pac

Check out cougnut , he rapped in the 90's and was better than Tupac,😢 sorry I said it.
Song called don't get it twisted or another one called the last breath
Straight game and Art is the best honest interview they always give.
This is a classic Interview.
Every part of Pac's father interview should have a million views and a million likes str8 up
Everyone, like myself thought he was a deadbeat. It took a while for me to actually get here. Dear Mama had an affect on me.
2Pop ain’t letting up... 2pop is sharp. Good interview
I changed my opinion on Tupac’s dad. I’m happy to have him here. Its almost like Tupac is alive again.
If Pac was Alive he’d be Bigger than All of em💯
True that
this part here @4:07 is the deepest part of the interview to me. Pac needed more talks like that wit his father. he was inpulsive & never had a father teach him how to manage his inpulses. then once he’d calm down, he’d recognize he went too hard. as intelligent as Pac was, he was still a young man who needed his Dad to balance him. as we all do. the brief talk wit Billy shows him actually answerin to a father figure, who is his actual father.
He had Mutulu Shakur before he got locked up
That’s cool he had Mutulu but it’s not the same when it’s for blood father who you actually look like. Please stop with the father figures and promote biological fathers. This shyt is pathetic and the powers that be want us to promote Father figures and mentors when we all have biological fathers that are being robbed.
@@ssv267 that's the thing, he got locked up then at some point when pac was a teen, he got kicked out of the house.
@@ssv267 Mutula ain't his biological dumbass 🤣
@@yvesbony8571 Mutulu is who 2Pac got that revolutionary spirit from. Mutulu got booked for breaking Assata out of prison & for robbing the Brinks truck
Wow......i never thought I'd see Pac's Father...that's wonderful to hear something from him
Facts, PAC looks exactly like him 💯💯
Maaaaaan.... That LETTER PAC WROTE TO HIS UNCLE ALMOST BROUGHT ME TO TEARS.... WEWWWW
I want to see the one he wrote to his Grandfather as well.
He didn't mention Billy and fact he asking his uncle for family history and about his siblings if him and Billy was talking why would he be asking his uncle...Billy is a liar
@@kinggeorge9331 you're hilarious. If you read that letter w/o bias, you can see that Pac is merely geeked to the fact that his uncle's a writer...a trait that Pac has aswell.
Based off that connection, he's just going on because he's realizing there's so much about himself he may learn from them.
Now, I know you're going to say, "well why not just ask his father?"
Well, I'm going to ask you...where do you think he got his Uncle's address from to write him? If you look at the visitor's list, you clearly see that other than his lawyer, Billy Garland (Relationship: Parent) visits him a few times, a Paulette Garland (Relationship: Other) visits him, and another Garland (Relationship: Sibling) visits him.
Those other Garland's would have only known to visit him because of Billy. Therefore it's safe to assume that Billy isn't hiding anything from him and that Pac is simply gassed to see where some of his talents are coming from and is trying to simply be w/ them and get as much info from them as possible. He's probably asked them ALL the same questions over and over because he's seeing his own traits in them and is just happy to learn.
Vlad is banging his against the wall for not having a Mr Garland exclusive
Everyone knows this. Afeni was the first to say it back then.
Thee best interview! blessings to brother Billy
Me & Pac birthday Friday R.I.P. 🐐💯
Happy Birthday ♊️🥳🎂
same bro 82'
Happy birthday 🙏🏼
mine too twin
Happy birthday to you! Happy heavenly birthday Pac!
Industry Hitmen killed both .
Beautiful interview!! Thank you for this!!
Yesss
Tell it Mr Billy Garland ❤
He’s speaking from emotion with 2pac’s death.
“Throw some money and I’ll be on my way”… but you wasn’t seeking money. Which is it, sir? I promise you I am not on some anti-Billy bullshit but dude keeps contradicting himself.
Man this was a dope interview God Bless Brother ✊️🙏
He in denial, if people have admitted to doing it, I don’t understand why he think otherwise
Finally somebody who said it. So fed up of all these lies, it's more important than ever that the truth gets talked about.
💯
💯 💯
Right, look at all of the people that died behind Tupacs death. His death was more than gang related.
Peoples don't want to thinks larger
You really fed up? I low key envy people who’s lives are so perfect they can sit around and be fed up with shit about Pac or any other celebrity
Why cant we let LIFE play itself out. If you are a TRUE TUPAC Fan/Family - you should understand the Beauty of getting to know the other half of The Greatest to ever do it. This is a Fun - Beautiful Ride that we are witnessing and the Legacy Continues to other Chapters.....
😂😂😂 it's fun and exciting seeing the struggles and hardships of someone trying to make it in life you are actually entertained by this the lack of comprehension is very low
@@timstephens4329 Wow
If i could bring 1 person back it would be Pac
Not ur grandma or any1 you personally knew… go seek medical n or physiological help today Bruh
@@antneyox9479 lol facts
Damn, not even a family member.🤦🏾♂️
@@antneyox9479 Smgdh 😂
That’s a fact ! Pac was our leader for the young people !
Wow. That letter broke my heart. He clearly wanted to know his dad side. 😢
I completely agree with this man❗❗❗
6:22 “You just ain’t going to say I’m dead MF, give me a couple dollars and I’ll go about my way.” Real talk 💯
Real deep Interview ur Gonna be Legendary 4 this 1 PAC truly had a Soul Like Marvin Gaye truly Missed!!!
I remember Marvin Gaye used to sang to Me…
Marvin was the musician Pac personally connected with. They were actually more similar than people realized.
I love listening to this guy. He should make a podcast
Yep, only certain people have that ability. Pac was one of those people you stopped what you were doing
to get a sound byte. Billy Garland is the same way.
I'm still tripping off those pictures of 2pac and his grandmother wow
In a weird way, I feel like we all got cheated! Meaning.. for Pac's genuine fans, the story was always that his Dad was dead, wasn't around, etc.. I just feel that had all the cards been laid on the table early on in Pac's life, we would've witnessed a different side of Pac. He got cheated, and in turn, we got cheated!
@BLACK BULL what do you mean?
Such is life. These woman are so vindictive, they don't stop to think about the bigger picture.
@@duncanpenderhughes9165 I agree!
@BLACK BULL 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ here we go!! Explain!
If he had STAYED the Hell away from Death Row, none of this would have happened.
I heard Biggie was going to start his own label after he found out Diddy cheated him out of his money.
Yes, That Is A True Fact Indeed. And Many Others Like Jadakiss, Cam'ron (Who Also Met Biggie through Mase), and Lil Cease from Junior Mafia has confirmed that fact in various interviews.
Yeah Orlando did that!!! I have to disagree with Billy
I didn't really know my biological father very well and only remember seeing and talking with him on a handful of occassions. People always told me that I look just like him and that we had many common characteristics and behaviors. I wasn't old enough to remember my mom and dad splitting up or wh, but someone told me years ago when I was about 18 to never badmouth my father because of that reason, and that I at least knew who my father was and has his name and many don't even know that much, and I have always kept that advice to heart, despite Western society trying to teach everyone to demonize an absent and/or non-financially supporting father.
For those who believe in the Bible it says to honor your Mother and Father and I didn't see any exceptions to that verse. And if someone doesn't criticize their parents then why should anyone else have the right to criticize them?
bible needs to be updated...
what about fathers that abuse their children.....
shtt doesnt apply to all..
BUT AGAIN...JUST ONE GUY'S OPINION..
No one is above criticism. An absent father should be demonized if the reason for his absence is unjustifiable and he hasn't done anything to make amends. Regarding the Bible, it also says that anyone who doesn't support his family, especially those of his own household has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. I think context is key. The target audience for the passage about honoring one's parents wasn't those who didn't know their parents.
@@rdrgz7868 I don't condone anyone abusing kids or anyone else and someone doesn't have to be someone's parent to abuse them. I don't know whether you've been abused or not but myself personally won't speak from a perspective that I don't have personally and I will leave it to those who have to speak from that perspective if they choose. And I did specify "for those who believe in the Bible".
@@J2theK The Bible doesn't say anything about the justifiable criticism that you speak of for a parent coming from a human being, which is something I believe I made clear that I was talking about. And if I hear anyone criticizing either my father who I didn't really know nor he me, or my mother who I know well and has done a lot for me, regarding criticism of their parenting of me or lack thereof, then me and that person are going to have a problem that would have to be dealt with.
I never left you...
Did he just say give me a couple dollars and I’d be on my way ??? That’s fucced up !!! I personally think that he wasn’t entitled to any of pac’s money period point blank
He is trying to say it was more about the acknowledgement and recognition he was the father then the money. But maybe could have worded it better 😂
For the most part he comes off pretty genuine and ok. There was one little slip though towards the end of this video where he says I’m not asking for half the estate just give me a couple dollars and I’ll be on my way. Now if he wasn’t in Pac’s life growing up for whatever reason but then connects with him later in life, does he really deserve anything financial wise? That was a little telling just saying
This interview has convinced me that he knows just as much about Pac as I do.
so u must have known Pac personally? funny statement, lol
@Random Posts Experiment yeah people in that same elk of not-doing-shit-for-their-kids find most statements about absentee fatherhood funny
They barely knew each other though. Billy just confirmed that he WANTED to but didn’t get the chance cause he died after sending the letter.
Because he does. He's just repeating second hand accounts and shit that was mentioned on documentaries lmaooo.
@@gentlemanmob He met his son and they spoke, so i think he knows Tupac more than u do is the point. You cannot dismiss the fact that his ex, Afeni lied to their son that he was dead while moving around the country pre social media. she was more wrong than him
They killing rappers till this day
I never heard Pac mention his dad!!!! Ever🧐😵💫🥴
Well he said no love for the coward because he wasnt there
I’m so glad with this interview cause now we may see mister Garland from a different perspective. With the new information we get to understand more that era in time.
How long was this man in Pac's life?
Don't matter, Pac opened up to him about everything
@@DooleyDaKidd239 yeah pac told him about the wild shit he was doing on death row
@@DooleyDaKidd239 how do u know? Because Billy said so? Lol tf on
But you believe his crackhead mom
Man pac looks EXACTLY like Mr Garland's mother.. it's incredible
Always wondered if he would have eventually beefed with DR. Biggie wouldve eventually beefed with puff
Billy God bless you ❤ thank you for sharing your time thoughts . Sorry for your loss
Im glad as a Day #1 Pac nigga his Father Finally getting his side of story out. I was in the situation were my child's mother lied to my Son. Almost turned my son against me. Never underestimate a mother power to her Son and how they wanna maintain that power. Powerful interview.
Tupac inherited a lot of his dad’s traits and mannerisms it’s crazy to think they didn’t meet until later in life
1:39 I just can't see Pac not mentioning none of this n his music......Y didn't Billy help bail him out of prison......
Right. Shit doesn’t make sense. Told y’all he’s lying on his son.
I’m really enjoying this series Art. Thank you
So that's why Officer whatshisname is running his mouth about this man. He's speaking the raw uncut truth. After years of not knowing you're not someone's father, you just can't hop back in there life. It takes time. Just like any other trust-based relationship. Respect 🙏🏼
Because he a sh*t starter looking for clout from 30 year old incidents...
He is entitled to his opinion, there's 3 sides to a story and Reggie Wright said maybe he was being a bit harsh cause he hadn't seen the other segments,but 15 years is a long time though
how you know he's speaking the truth?
@@Allah0791 that's why wait ✋️, listen and observe. Allah bestowed upon us His Patience. We should do the same. That's why it says we should think three times before we speak.
@@joepg1608 it's something in his mannerisms. And I don't he has anything to gain for not being truthful. Respect
I didn’t know a description of car was given. A four door white Cadillac with California plates. Reports differ, two men or four. Why are there no cctv at all its Vegas hmmm
1. The Royalty issue … standard time to receive. You don’t drop an album in May then receive the royalties in October. Pac was in the business long enough to understand that. Pac was an incredible artist but his business acumen was not on that level. I believe with the help of Quincy Jones he would have gradually improved on the business side. Napoleon even said in retrospect that Pac wasn’t good on the business side. He was 25 at the time. We can only speculate on what anyone who passed at an early age would have become.
It’s still odd that he had several records under Digital Underground and several movies out and he couldn’t bail himself out nor his record label was willing to do so.
True but who’s business was straight in the mid 90’s 25yrs or younger? The movie rolls he had lined up were gonna override the music shyt just like all the other artists from that era, Cube, Will, Latifah, etc
@@FCM415e have to remember he was like 19 when he signed with Interscope and broke. Think he actually was living at Afeni’s apartment after they reconciled (she had kicked her drug habit). So imagine being a starving artist thinking all that glitters is gold. If you don’t have a smart team behind you, you’re gonna get screwed.
How was Tupac going to receive. Royalties when Reggie The Rat Jr said Death Row didn’t have a royalty department @ Deathrow
PAC sold over 2.5 million in less than a year. He has been recouped those recording and marketing expenses. PAC asked for his profit and loss statements and never got them. I believe it came out after his passing that PAC's royalties were paying for other artists expenses. If he wasnt good on business he would not have been working so hard from Oct '95 to Sept '96. He was trying to build his empire. The DR "licensing" thing he did was actually smart. 3 album agreement -he comes with a double and then completes Makaveli by August '96 thus completing the agreement. That's why he was moving forward. Formed a new production company and had leverage to move on creatively.
Great interview
Pac deaths it's always a mystery alot of twist and turns, one minute we think it's this person then another person

@@SA-kz6zcsame they was pawns Orlando all of them
I agree 100% Tupac would of been a billionaire. Pac would of had a Malcolm kind of impact on middle age and the youth
He’s insinuating that Suge pumped his head up with the East vs West mess yet Tupac felt gas on the fire was the “WHO Shot Ya” track. PAC also felt the Biggie knew who shot him and he wasn’t on Death Row when he got shot so how is Suge to blame for that.
Not necessarily…he was being fed bad intel in prison to. Govt informant and stuff.
@@MrTee12 what bad info was he fed
Cause people love blaming everything on Suge
Exactly when you having a very large following and speaking out yes it frighten’s the power that be.
I'm starting to lose respect for him now.
This Brotha is REAL!!!
Why is he talking about death row when he wasn’t even around death row 🤦🏾♂️
Cause Death Row is evil apparently lol he is from the East Coast lol 😏
very cool to hear from Billy, thanks for this interview I'll watch the full one for sure
I am not doubting that Billy Garland is 2pacs father. However, it is a bad look that he sued Afeni and tried to get 900k from Pacs estate. This is the argument alot of people are trying to make in regards to his father’s intentions. He says he wasn’t after the estate but at the end of this video he says “just throw me a couple of dollars and I’ll be on my way” I think he should of been more concerned with finally having his son in his life rather than getting paid. What made Billy think he should of received any money at all?
Defamation of character
Pac was his son and Afeni lying on his dead certificate that he dad is dead made Mr garland angry to sued her
Pac was his son and Afeni lying on his dead certificate that he dad is dead made Mr garland angry to sued her
Exactly, but these bandits are eating this nonsense up because they want to believe their deadbeat dads truly loved them too despite never attempting to develop a relationship 😂😂
All he wanted was the money
David Mack Raphael Perez Kevin Gaines were in the white Cadillac. And also at the Peterson museum March 9th.
what about Poochie ?
@@tuffgong_1201 patsy like orlando
After the first interview I had formed a negative opinion of this man... Especially immediately after that first interview, Reggie Wright did a response video on Bomb First and called this man a 'deadbeat' and gave his narrow viewpoint about this man (which I almost bought into)... But after listening to him word for word, I can can only thank Art for providing this man this platform to speak his mind like this and give his viewpoints, and I can thoroughly say the man is genuine, he never made excuses for not being there but gave a very valid explanation and is very well spoken and has a great degree of diplomacy (I can see where PAC got that from - his Mom & Pups) (and Reggie, must withdraw his judgemental statements)... In fact, Reggie on certain issues, I will rather believe a guy who himself looks like he can be a fibber (Keefe D), over Reggie one some issues in dispute. More so, since he Mobb James have such a great rapport, despite Keefe D and others lamenting that Mobb James and Suge were an FBI snitches (that puts Reggie also in that same basket)... And that brings us back to what Tupac's Pops is saying here, that there was more to PAC's death than meets the eye.
Cmon reggie wright is nobody man...they only relevant because they happened to be around pac..but am certain he played a part in pacs death
Reggie the Rat Wright Jr
reggie fart wright
Never trust a cop..
Reggie is a Busta who Pac didn’t even respect like that!
How long Ago was this interview ?
His Father is Eloquent in Speech . I can see why Pac has The Gift of Speech
An eloquent speaker is no different from a con artist
@@timstephens4329 your actions will determine that. Very surface level response lol.
The Krazy part pac didn't live long enough 4 his royaltys
Mr.Garland they did more for your son in a few months than what you did in his entire 25yrs!!!! So I say that to say this! How dare! You sit! Up there and speak on Brother Tupac life experience and his journey and decision making when you! Being the Farther! Never!!!!!! Instill! Manhood #101 inside of him! The Audacity!!!!!! Mr.Garland! That's not right!
And he makes sense Too. To be Honest, Pac & Big was moving towards Larger things. Think about it, Pac had the "Outlawz" and was about to launch his own material ect, he wouldve blew up bigger tha Suge. And same for Biggie, he had "Junior Mafia, team up w Undeas ent., he could've been higher than Diddy. So I wouldn't DOUBT their Bosses ect felt threatened. I wouldn't Put it Pass em
You cant. People have been killed for less. Wives have kill husbands and vice versa and who knows what other shit has went on that people don't know. The love of money is the biggest root.
I paused it the letter I was reading it I can hear him like he was rapping no capping frfr
People still can't see the music industry for the con it is. These folks end up broke, but they make other folks rich.
Good interview 👍
Wow my guy you have come along way. What a great interview. Kudos my man
I keep telling folks is that if Pac and BIG would've lived Jay-Z would just be a gold selling artist 🤷🏾♂️
I love Pac and Big but You're talking nonsense.
He's right tbh, 2Pac would be bigger than all the rappers out there today
Billy, you have a beautiful spirit. Just like Pac. God bless you both.
beautiful letter
My son and Pac June 16
I see who pac got his charisma and passion from...daddy. Tupac culda been president of the united states.
This man speaking TRUTH!!!💫
This is realest interview ever
You know the strange thing, everybody has missed one important name in all of this, and that's interscope Jimmy Iovine, the man who had everything to lose, if pac was still alive, but in his death he gained the most
He brought the people to Death Row who were allegedly involved in the Biggie hit.
I said to much, had to delete my last comment, but puff is the reason why biggie is dead. The murder is more complicated than it seems, it was ordered from harlem, eastcoast and carried out from california, westcoast
Jimmy Iovine called Suge Knight celebrating after Pac died, his words "You can't beat a dead man's sales"
@@pcangeldust Suge wasn't celebrating
Pac was signed to interscope. Suge was a pawn.
This is the best interview of the year! Art you keep out doing yourself! Shout out to the interviewer as well as 2 Pac father...Afeni shorten 2 pac life by not given him the guidance of his real father
Puffy killed 2PAC AND BIGGIE not SUGE.
If he starts blaming it on DR, the fix is in.
Is that the Richardson dude, doing the interview??
I think hes bitter because his son did not left him wealth.
Wasnt Tupac bailed out of jail for 1 mil and did tupac rent the studios and payed for the production of the songs?
From what i see in the documentaries tupac was born poor and died poor .
Which money did they rob from him?
Pac only had 200k in his account. I'm sure that's not the reason at all
Favorite interview
He is sitting up here telling stories that no one can confirm because Afeni and Pac are dead. This dude is a clown to me
Put the letter on the screen so that we can actually read it many thanks
