When pac start rappin.. they'll never take me alive im gettin high with my 45 cocked on these suckers time to die.... strongest and hardest lyrics ever
These stories are like almost 30 years old. Pac was one hell of dude. I remember listening to all these tracks in the late 00s as a teen. Even then he was already deceased for more than a decade and its crazy to think the amount of records he had that were just so classic. His music are like a time capsule that takes us back in time. It's like you can almost feel like you were there, especially those of us who were young & kids in the 90s.
Pain is easily a top 5 2pac song for me. Majesty was apart of history helping create that beat. I always wondered why it never was on the Above The Rim soundtrack
My brother used to have that song on repeat all day, every day... he was the biggest Pac stan ever.. like if you said anything bad about Pac around him, he'd be ready to fight.. He was one of those cats. As the older brother, I would wrestle him and put him in headlocks and what not.. and to make him give up, instead of getting him to say "uncle," I would make him say "Biggie Smalls is the illest." He would never say it. Lol.. he would stay pinned until I let him go. He was that loyal to Pac. I miss the lil knucklehead.
@@KtotheG lmao your brother reminds me of me lmao my first real fight as a teenager was when someone dissed pac and said master p was a better rapper and I dove on his ass lol when I think about it now damn that was childish but back then.pac was like my big cousin talking real life to me💯
Above the rim (along with Murder was the case) is one of the best HIP HOP/R&B soundtracks of all time. Death row was unstoppable from (the chronic) 92-96 (Pac death)
@@Donnelius yessir Above the rim soundtrack Menace to society soundtrack The show soundtrack Murder was the case soundtrack New Jersey Drive soundtrack Bad Boys soundtrack Boomerang Soundtrack New Jack City soundtrack
I’ve been saying it for YEARS! Pac & Stretch was a deadly combination! We all know Pac killed his verses on Pain, but Stretch killed his verse and laid that fiya ass beat!
Years and years of that rough life Runnin' crazed and wild as a kid and growin' tough with a knife And livin' trife on the regular, buckin' out competitors See 'em fake a move and chase 'em down like the fuckin' Predator Get in trouble everyday in school, act a fool
Thug Life volume one will forever be a superior classic I was addicted to that album as a very little young kid that's when I fell in love with Tupac and never looked back
There was old interviews prior to Pac signing with Death Row, where he shouted out Suge, Snoop & Tha Dogg Pound. Pac even had an event where he invited Snoop to perform. Snoop even spoke of being friends with Pac long before him signing with Death Row & Pac being the one that introduced him to Biggie. Pac was also in the “Natural Born Killaz” music video. Suge also says he attempted to sign Pac several times before & Pac co-signed this. The both spoke of Suge paying Pac for unused songs submitted for the Above The Rim soundtrack.
@@mariejane1567 that’s bullshit. Del Ray wasn’t Pac’s manager, his lawyer or even in his inner circle at that point. If Pac wasn’t signed to Death Row then why did they own his masters & not Interscope? Why did his mother sue Death Row for royalties & not Interscope? Use your head, bruh.
@@jihadx5307 He wasn't signed to Deathrow for records. It was for management. Also, Pac owned all of his masters, Deathrow ILLEGALLY HELD THEM AFTER PAC'S DEATH. That's why Affeni sued Deathrow. She initially was suing both but Interscope settled things out of court on their end.
The PAIN track is a GEM and one of Pac hardest tracks. He has so many but that track is one of my favorite. It's timeless. Rest up 🐐. These suckas today still can't match your dominance when you was here and after you're gone. Facts. Yes Sirrr 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
The thug life volume 1 album is such a masterpiece. I still vibe to that album. The sound production is timeless. Bury me a g, still ballin, don't stop.
Pac admitted in an interview that Suge gave him $100,000 for the song Pain even though he told Suge he didn't want to be on Death Row yet. Pac said that's when he knew Suge was a real one, because he said Suge knew he had lots of legal issues and needed the money.
Pain is one of my favourites 2pac tunes. I remember buying, Above The Rim ST, just for that song and it wasnt on there. Turn out you needed the, Warren G, single to get that song. Still makes me smile when I think about the adventure to find the, pain song ❤️😎
Good point I remember buying the soundtrack on CDand that song not being on there I was told it was on the cassette tape but 93 and on was only fucking with CD
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 you’ve clearly never heard Pain if you think it’s about bringing (inflicting) pain to people in the streets. You should listen. The message applies to Pac’s death and still applies to many young cats today.. do your research bum ass clown
HellRazor should’ve been on Thug Life, but it was dope to hear it on R U Still Down which is 🔥 Pac album it felt more like a Pac Compilation album. You can hear all the different styles of PAC’s on that record before the Death Row days.
Pain is the most under appreciated but well beloved tracks Tupac ever created! The passion Pac spits on this: They got me mobbin' like I'm loc'ed and ready to get my SLUG ON, I load my clip and slip my motherfuckin' GLOVES ON I ain't scared to BLAST on these suckas if they test me TRUST, I got my Glock cocked, PLAYA, if they press me BUST, on motherfuckers with a PASSION Better duck, 'cause I ain't lookin' when I'm BLASTIN' 🔥🔥💯
Classic example here is ‘How Long Will They Mourn Me?’. Pac’s whole different verse from album version is 🔥. Shows just how great he was that his back up verse is just as incredible, if not more.
@@brianpughsley8680 The pain edited version had the same lyrics kinda, the beat is a bit different n his tone is different. Just type in pain radio version
Stretch died not long after pac got out of jail so they never had a chance to talk and sort things out. Syke tried to do a deal With suge behind pac back when pac had advised him not to so those two end up falling out.
He made a good point about death row and eazy E being the competition 93 and first half of 94 for pac but suge recognized the competition and wanted pac on deathrow before he went to jail
Fam has been connecting plenty dots with this interview. Got me thinking back and I can see dam near everything and it's putting things in a better perspective. Good $h!t✊💯
It’s about time someone spoke about the real pac an not just recycling story after story 💯 can tell dude was around on the daily even when not much was happening he has the memories of average shot Pac done day to day an not just the classic shit we always hear about.
I hear “Manute” name a lot in the Maj interviews. Wish there was picture of him. He sounds like major contributor to 2Pacs success. He’s mentioned and immortalized in the track “All eyes one me” Big Syke, Manute, Paynt,Bogart..Big Serge.. major shoutouts on the intro💯 a five double “0” Benz flaunting flashy rings “0” e.g five,flaunting and flashing 500 Benz and Rings two zeros in 500 (plural) = ring(S)(alliteration and metaphor) in one bar. these lyrics fly over most ppl heads lol
There was a song called The Streetz R Death Row, way before Pac signed with Suge. Pac was intellegent, "Heart of a soulja with the brain to teach the whole nation"
Pain, holler if ya hear me and loyal to the game are my favorites off Above the Rim soundtrack!...I loved 5 deadly venomz ( strictly... album)They made some good music! sigh 😕
Those were all good tracks I also believe pour out a little liquor was on the soundtrack I could be mistaken but I know they put together a dope video for that song like a old school fifties video!!!
@@mikegillins4992 yea! I think that was on above the Rim soundtrack. I'm sure there was a video where there dressed in suits. ( I'm sure I saw that. Imma go check now!)
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 what an exciting life you have, waiting on UA-cam for a Tupac conversation so you can put your immature & pathetic comments in the section, I'm sure mummy & daddy are so proud of there little lloyd
I personally liked 2pac better before the death row era. My favourite album was thug life and that era/ jealous got me strapped. Me against the world was great too.
Pain was on the B Side Single to Regulate, also Pain is on the new Deluxe version on The Above The Rim Soundtrack. Pain to me was the second best song because keep in mind you have the song Regulate.
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 Imagine calling Snoop a goat when he's only got 1 classic album 😂 he never put anything out better then Doggystyle and this is nearly 30 years ago now
Hate that we lost so many greats. Wish I could see all these missed collaborations… “Kendrick Lamar ft 2Pac and Eazy-E”, “J Cole Notorious BIG & Big Pun”…. These men (and a few women like Magnolia Shorty) should be here reaping the rewards with the younger generation.
Hes not giving true information about Stretches feelings when Pac signed to DR… just saying.. Stretch and them had enough time and energy to run with Pac 24/7 when the kids were newborns.. Pac was one of the Godfathers right? they def had opinions on Pac getting bailed out
You know them boys was feeling so type of way. It’s easy to distinguish the difference between what’s true and what’s false in this particular interview
So that’s why it was so hard to find. Even getting the cassette it was difficult. I went to just about every music store on my side Houston, all the way to Galveston looking for the cassette soundtrack that had that damn song.
@@outlawlife8894 it's well documented how pac felt initially about bones back in 94 (there is a clip on UA-cam where pac slighted them when he is with his crew in Harlem) what you referring to is when pac join death row!!!
The beat on the beat track is second to none. It's emotive, thought provoking and Pac flows elegantly. "My city's full of gang bangers and drive-byes, why do we die at an early age? He was so young but still a victim of the 12 gauge my memories of a corpse, mind full of sick thoughts, and I ain't goin' back to court, so fu#k what you thought". Fascinating the Thug Life saying was to be used as a code to bring community-based change. Mutulu Shakur and other Black Panthers were schooling Pac hence he had '50 Nig#az' tattoo which represented the unification of blacks, brown, Armenians etc, "the lost tribe" across then 50 states of America.
My pops gave me the above the rim single for my birthday. He thought the cover looked cool. Little did he know he made me a hiphopper LOL. Pain was my favourite track on that single.
Pac was the hottest rapper back then everybody wanted to sign him Master P even wanted to sign Pac to No Limit this was when No Limit was still based out in the Bay Area
At that time Tupac would have been out of No Limits price range. Granted, they had that major deal with priority, but they were still underground, Tupac was doing big budget movies. Now in 1997, yeah Master P had that type of paper. It would have not been a good fit, with no limits quantity over quality type of product.
What if during this time in the 90s,Biggie Smalls was sign too Death Row and Tupac was sign too Bad Boy🤔...just think about the stories we would be hearing today
They both would still be alive remember suge was kool with diddy up until 95 once he started to visit pac in jail his hold demeanor changed toward diddy
Tupac downfall was hanging out with the devil aka Simon/Suge Knight.Suge downfall was his own ego.Had Suge not let his ego get him and would’ve just stay out of the limelight just doing the business work and not let the hood run Death Row Dre would’ve still been there and Death Row would’ve still been around and today would’ve been bigger than any hip hop record label including Bad Boy and Def Jam.
@@almightytre3730 Actually not True about Dre Dre didn’t not bring in them Hood guys (the bloods that was only there starting fights and that was causing problems) Suge brought them in. Dre was more focus on making music Suge was focused on kicking the hood in and making Death Row like a Drug Empire. Had 2Pac not been around Suge Knights Street drama he could’ve still been living today. 💯
putting all the blame on Suge and acting like Pac couldn't make his own decisions is insulting his intelligence the bottom line is they liked and respected each other a lot but putting them together caused a lotta shit to go haywire Pac was going through a lot and shit got to his head
@@datniggaeazye.5968 And like I said before it was Suge that brought the gang members (not the rappers but just the ones hanging around starting problems) in death row that was causing problems not Dre. Now Suge downfall was trying to bring that hood/street mentality in death row (he couldn’t leave the hood alone). And now look at him he might spend the rest of his life behind bars.
he went to that demon coz of traitor devils;) who were scared to fuk with some real azz Gs line Jimmy ;) only Pac had a heart when the shit went down, everybody’s gangsta till the fire starts .. and most decent ppl are lot stronger in a lotta situations than actual Gs like Stretch .. he betrayed Pac
I read a book a while back that talked about the Death Row and Interscope offices being across from each other and Tupac not wanting to go to Death Row though the labels were pushing it.
I can see the pain in this brother eyes. He lost his brother and lost pac. Pac was mad at them over some bullshit that they really had no parts in it seems like it was just a big misunderstanding..
You don't know if Stretch had something to do with it or not and if you hear Pac go into detail why he felt he did, you would see why Pac felt that way. Plus Stretch was talking bs and spreading lies after the shooting. Stretch verse on the song him and Pac did a few hours before Quad is suspect as fuck too.
i don’t like this interview,full if lies and only side of his story c’mon man .. this man is in his darkest fantasies lol .. if u had any heart u should have fought with Henchman, not with Suge .. man it’s circus, everybody’s talking now when everybody’s in jail or buried ..
@@ShawnMega not personally, but i have enough material now and street knowledge to understand that they were scaredy af of Jimmy .. Jimmy Henchmen who i hate to the fullest, but .. i wish they could have stepped, but it’s a shame .. and he’s trying to cover some bad shit here.. now i fully understand that Pac was right 💯
@@ShawnMega and if they had shot someone earlier it don’t mean shit and u know that , i suppose .. being in the streets isn’t choosing your enemies if you are really dedicated to being a G .. it has its own period up to 30-35 and u start to calm down .. anyway, i’m sure he even hates Pac i swear
Pac is from NEW YORK , Hence why he called himself MC New York.. Pac had a New York accent and rap like New Yorker. He felt home when he went back to harlem, was chilling with New York MCs... Last time check Pac had to leave the bay area because he getting attempts on his Life and the west coast took Pac away from Hip Hop!!! West coast ruined hip hop!! 🤦♂️
The fact tht 2pac is dead and ppl are coming out with all these stories and we the ppl not knowing if it's true or not is crazy he's not hear to defend himself and some of the ppl tht were the closest to him wasn't around him 24/7 buy I will say one of the ppl I do believe is Danny boy
Danny Boy and Napolean are the only two that I believe when it comes to sharing 2Pac stories. Everybody else sounds like their exaggerating and adding sauce to their stories about him.
Well not even Danny Boy was around him 24/7! Pac was different things to different people depending on the situation. Everybody has their particular side of how they viewed Pac. Remember Danny Boy and Napolean were super young and that youth enabled them to interpret things they saw from the mind of a young person. Danny boy was new and fresh, Napolean was straight street and interpreted things from a young, wild street dude! Maj is filling in the blanks for all the rumors and speculation that's been out for years. We niggaz will run with any story and keep it going! Good to see Maj set that shit straight. Remember how the feds set Malcolm X against Elijah Muhammad by intercepting their communications and putin false shit in each others ears about the other. Same shit that niggaz did with Pac and Biggie! Somebody feedin him shit while locked up, and he had time to go back and rethink how shit went down at the quad! Not saying the GOV was behind setin Pac up for death, just saying somebody was helping pit Pac against everybody at one point!
Songs like "Pain" show Pac was going to always be Pac regardless of Deathrow. And "Pain" is one of the hardest songs ever.🙏🏿
SALUTE!!! I agree 💯 %

When pac start rappin.. they'll never take me alive im gettin high with my 45 cocked on these suckers time to die.... strongest and hardest lyrics ever

been 2 years since you comment.. I hope by now, you got to saw his interviews, and those pics from Thug Life volume I booklet, he's on them
@@user-kl1rt9jp3bI did see him and watched a few of his interviews on here. His name is actually spelt Manook. Good looking bro

Live Squad was fire as hell. Everything they did with Pac was heat. Stretch went off on "Strugglin".
Pain is in MY top 10 Fav 2Pac songs
Suge really could’ve been a billionaire by now… 🤦🏾♂️
There was a song called The Streetz R Death Row, way before Pac signed with Suge. Pac was intellegent, "Heart of a soulja with the brain to teach the whole nation"
16 on death row
Stretch is very underrated, he and Pac were a powerful combination. Sad how it went, RIP to both.
Art with the fake laughs🤣
Jimmy Fallon type beat
I peeped that.
Pain, holler if ya hear me and loyal to the game are my favorites off Above the Rim soundtrack!...I loved 5 deadly venomz ( strictly... album)They made some good music! sigh 😕
Those were all good tracks I also believe pour out a little liquor was on the soundtrack I could be mistaken but I know they put together a dope video for that song like a old school fifties video!!!
@@mikegillins4992 yea! I think that was on above the Rim soundtrack. I'm sure there was a video where there dressed in suits. ( I'm sure I saw that. Imma go check now!)
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 what an exciting life you have, waiting on UA-cam for a Tupac conversation so you can put your immature & pathetic comments in the section, I'm sure mummy & daddy are so proud of there little lloyd
Big Pimpin is my favourite
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 hilarious, mummy & daddy must be so proud of little lloyd
Pain was one of 2PAC'S hardest songs💯 I still listen to it daily!
💯💯💯💯💯
That last verse to Pain still gives me chills🥂
Majesty seem like cool people!! Salute 2 Him...💯
He is but that's fake Gucci he got on
@@whywomenhatemyforeskin1412 That’s Jamaica ave Gucci 😡
Pain is probably Tupacs best song of alltime and Stretch produced it. Stretch deserves more credit.
Definitely
Definitely not
Most definitely not
Definitely
Clearly you've never heard "Never be Peace" og version or "Until the End of Time" og version.
Yo I remember back in the days Pain was a hard song to find yo
Tru dat..
I don't know why everyone is saying that. I had it on my Above the Rim Soundtrack on cassette. I guess i was lucky.
The Live Squad very underrated producers I wish they would've done something with Big Daddy Kane back then
They do have a song with big daddy Kane
He looks like Mopreme (pacs brother)
Yessir the interview I been waitin on, you doin it BIG AOD!!!
I personally liked 2pac better before the death row era. My favourite album was thug life and that era/ jealous got me strapped. Me against the world was great too.
Pain was on the B Side Single to Regulate, also Pain is on the new Deluxe version on The Above The Rim Soundtrack. Pain to me was the second best song because keep in mind you have the song Regulate.
Yep, a lot of people don't know about the Maxi CD single era.
Regulate was good but no match to pain. I just feel Suge could’ve had pain a little more crisp because it sounded like it needed a little engineering
@@ghostt488 stop smoking Regulate was way better than Pain and in actuality Big Pimpin was better than both !!
Was looking for this comment.. 💯
It seems like Pac always had a little tension towards Snoop.
No
Facts
Plus, Pac and Eazy E was about to have a shoot out on elevator with DR!!! back in the day
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 Imagine calling Snoop a goat when he's only got 1 classic album 😂 he never put anything out better then Doggystyle and this is nearly 30 years ago now

Dope interview much luv from CA
Arts fake laugh when he starts to laugh is hilarious
If I remember right wasn't "Pour Out a Lil Liqour" on the Above the Rim Soundtrack?
Yeah
Yeah it was. Also can’t forget Regulate by Warren G aswell. Another big song off that Soundtrack & Warren wasn’t on Death Row either 💯
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 That song just came to mind because he act like Pac wasn't on the soundtrack at all
Wow that makes sense why Pac dissed bone thugs on the box now
Pac and strech should have got a grammy for so much pain!
Hate that we lost so many greats. Wish I could see all these missed collaborations… “Kendrick Lamar ft 2Pac and Eazy-E”, “J Cole Notorious BIG & Big Pun”…. These men (and a few women like Magnolia Shorty) should be here reaping the rewards with the younger generation.
Pain is one of the greatest songs ever. It’s top 3 Pac. Pac’s 2nd verse is genius.
It boggled me that Pain wasn’t on the CD.
Hes not giving true information about Stretches feelings when Pac signed to DR… just saying.. Stretch and them had enough time and energy to run with Pac 24/7 when the kids were newborns.. Pac was one of the Godfathers right? they def had opinions on Pac getting bailed out
You know them boys was feeling so type of way. It’s easy to distinguish the difference between what’s true and what’s false in this particular interview
Exactly. They were definitely pressed about him signing
So that’s why it was so hard to find. Even getting the cassette it was difficult. I went to just about every music store on my side Houston, all the way to Galveston looking for the cassette soundtrack that had that damn song.
I didn’t know they produced those joints either. Dope!
Pain is my top Pac song. Long Live 2pac
Streetz r Deathrow still slaps. Deep lyrics
Much respect og for a real interview @majesty
RIP to PAC and Syke…. true legends Thug Life. I Miss making songs with my bro BIG Syke 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯🥂

@Lee John was Pac from NY???
He did a court of law said he did

Great interview and I’m not even finished yet
Dope luv from brooknam
I would’ve loved to have seen Pac on ruthless with Eazy. Imagine Eazy, Pac, Outlawz and Bonethugs and Big Syke.
It was always hard for me to see that cause pac had some resentment towards bones initially but thinking about it years later it does ring a bell
@@mikegillins4992 not true. Tupac fw bone thugs. He the one who made dpg squash that beef with them
@@outlawlife8894 it's well documented how pac felt initially about bones back in 94 (there is a clip on UA-cam where pac slighted them when he is with his crew in Harlem) what you referring to is when pac join death row!!!
@@mikegillins4992 oh okay
This dude act soo hard everytime he speaks on something. All i gotta say is Jimmy Henchman and he run.
Live Squad priduced the best tracks on 2pacalypse. 5 deadly venoms - psssshhh. Still hits harddd.
Tupac and Live Squad - Danger Time, that first verse from Majesty 🔥💯
Pac said himself in an interview that Suge tried to sign him before he was signing to. Thats why Suge give Pac 100k for two joints.
The beat on the beat track is second to none. It's emotive, thought provoking and Pac flows elegantly.
"My city's full of gang bangers and drive-byes, why do we die at an early age?
He was so young but still a victim of the 12 gauge my memories of a corpse, mind full of sick thoughts, and I ain't goin' back to court, so fu#k what you thought".
Fascinating the Thug Life saying was to be used as a code to bring community-based change. Mutulu Shakur and other Black Panthers were schooling Pac hence he had '50 Nig#az' tattoo which represented the unification of blacks, brown, Armenians etc, "the lost tribe" across then 50 states of America.
That's not what 50 niggaz tat ment
The word Niggas is strictly 4blacc people foo

Very dope amazing insight on this
My pops gave me the above the rim single for my birthday. He thought the cover looked cool. Little did he know he made me a hiphopper LOL. Pain was my favourite track on that single.
Pac was the hottest rapper back then everybody wanted to sign him Master P even wanted to sign Pac to No Limit this was when No Limit was still based out in the Bay Area
Percy had 2 good albums when he was based in Richmond
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 get yo lame ahh on
naw snoop was until pac came to death row
At that time Tupac would have been out of No Limits price range. Granted, they had that major deal with priority, but they were still underground, Tupac was doing big budget movies.
Now in 1997, yeah Master P had that type of paper.
It would have not been a good fit, with no limits quantity over quality type of product.
@@dawgpound187 agreed. The early NL was heavily influenced by Cali Sound
Art that had to be the fakest laugh I ever heard 😂😂😂
Holla if ya hear me - the sound on that is chaotically masterful. 🔥
“ They’ll never take me alive … “
What if during this time in the 90s,Biggie Smalls was sign too Death Row and Tupac was sign too Bad Boy🤔...just think about the stories we would be hearing today
Pac would have been moonwalking on the videos
@@horseballs6780 lol
@@tenspeed1047 lol
@@horseballs6780 What do you think Big would have been doing?
They both would still be alive remember suge was kool with diddy up until 95 once he started to visit pac in jail his hold demeanor changed toward diddy
Most of you young squabbles listening to this man interview want old enough to remember any of what he talking about! Pay attention young lions
😅
That pain song is fucking one of my favorite Tupac songs
This interview a classic!
I remember Dresta saying that Eazy E was trying to sign Tupac.
link?
A handful of people have said that. They definitely were around each other 💯
Tupac downfall was hanging out with the devil aka Simon/Suge Knight.Suge downfall was his own ego.Had Suge not let his ego get him and would’ve just stay out of the limelight just doing the business work and not let the hood run Death Row Dre would’ve still been there and Death Row would’ve still been around and today would’ve been bigger than any hip hop record label including Bad Boy and Def Jam.
2Pac caused his own downfall he was getting into trouble before signing to Death Row. Dre was at Death Row doing the same shit that Suge was doing.
@@almightytre3730 Actually not True about Dre
Dre didn’t not bring in them Hood guys (the bloods that was only there starting fights and that was causing problems) Suge brought them in. Dre was more focus on making music Suge was focused on kicking the hood in and making Death Row like a Drug Empire. Had 2Pac not been around Suge Knights Street drama he could’ve still been living today. 💯
putting all the blame on Suge and acting like Pac couldn't make his own decisions is insulting his intelligence the bottom line is they liked and respected each other a lot but putting them together caused a lotta shit to go haywire Pac was going through a lot and shit got to his head
@@datniggaeazye.5968 And like I said before it was Suge that brought the gang members (not the rappers but just the ones hanging around starting problems) in death row that was causing problems not Dre. Now Suge downfall was trying to bring that hood/street mentality in death row (he couldn’t leave the hood alone). And now look at him he might spend the rest of his life behind bars.
he went to that demon coz of traitor devils;) who were scared to fuk with some real azz Gs line Jimmy ;) only Pac had a heart when the shit went down, everybody’s gangsta till the fire starts .. and most decent ppl are lot stronger in a lotta situations than actual Gs like Stretch .. he betrayed Pac
I read a book a while back that talked about the Death Row and Interscope offices being across from each other and Tupac not wanting to go to Death Row though the labels were pushing it.
Pain is one of my favorite songs by Pain him and Stretch did they thing on it 💯.
I can see the pain in this brother eyes. He lost his brother and lost pac. Pac was mad at them over some bullshit that they really had no parts in it seems like it was just a big misunderstanding..
Yeah it was definitely a bad misunderstanding. I feel pac on him feeling like niggas ain't have his back
You don't know if Stretch had something to do with it or not and if you hear Pac go into detail why he felt he did, you would see why Pac felt that way. Plus Stretch was talking bs and spreading lies after the shooting. Stretch verse on the song him and Pac did a few hours before Quad is suspect as fuck too.
i don’t like this interview,full if lies and only side of his story c’mon man .. this man is in his darkest fantasies lol .. if u had any heart u should have fought with Henchman, not with Suge .. man it’s circus, everybody’s talking now when everybody’s in jail or buried ..
You know them?
@@ShawnMega not personally, but i have enough material now and street knowledge to understand that they were scaredy af of Jimmy .. Jimmy Henchmen who i hate to the fullest, but .. i wish they could have stepped, but it’s a shame .. and he’s trying to cover some bad shit here.. now i fully understand that Pac was right 💯
@@ShawnMega and if they had shot someone earlier it don’t mean shit and u know that , i suppose .. being in the streets isn’t choosing your enemies if you are really dedicated to being a G .. it has its own period up to 30-35 and u start to calm down .. anyway, i’m sure he even hates Pac i swear
3:38 Art with the fake laugh
Streets r death row is one of my favorite Pac songs
Pacs Downfall was being in NYC. Should’ve stayed in California. Having the name Shakur and being in NYC during that time was a mistake.
It wouldn't have made no difference if he stayed in Cali or NY.
Tupac was a magnet for trouble.
He was from NY ....Pac had an target on him bcuz of his moms & the Panthers...it didn’t make a difference where he was @ plus Pac was an air head
Pac is from NEW YORK , Hence why he called himself MC New York.. Pac had a New York accent and rap like New Yorker. He felt home when he went back to harlem, was chilling with New York MCs... Last time check Pac had to leave the bay area because he getting attempts on his Life and the west coast took Pac away from Hip Hop!!! West coast ruined hip hop!! 🤦♂️
The fact tht 2pac is dead and ppl are coming out with all these stories and we the ppl not knowing if it's true or not is crazy he's not hear to defend himself and some of the ppl tht were the closest to him wasn't around him 24/7 buy I will say one of the ppl I do believe is Danny boy
Danny Boy and Napolean are the only two that I believe when it comes to sharing 2Pac stories. Everybody else sounds like their exaggerating and adding sauce to their stories about him.
Well not even Danny Boy was around him 24/7! Pac was different things to different people depending on the situation. Everybody has their particular side of how they viewed Pac. Remember Danny Boy and Napolean were super young and that youth enabled them to interpret things they saw from the mind of a young person. Danny boy was new and fresh, Napolean was straight street and interpreted things from a young, wild street dude! Maj is filling in the blanks for all the rumors and speculation that's been out for years. We niggaz will run with any story and keep it going! Good to see Maj set that shit straight. Remember how the feds set Malcolm X against Elijah Muhammad by intercepting their communications and putin false shit in each others ears about the other. Same shit that niggaz did with Pac and Biggie! Somebody feedin him shit while locked up, and he had time to go back and rethink how shit went down at the quad! Not saying the GOV was behind setin Pac up for death, just saying somebody was helping pit Pac against everybody at one point!
@@rickimhotep1236 well said bro 👍🏾
I believe outlaw Napoleon you can see it in his eyes every time he talks about Pac
@@chicagowest23 Napoleon came later after Stretch this there story everyone has there side its not about who right or wrong he just telling his story
“Loyal to the game” was the other bonus song that was only on the Above the rim soundtrack cassette
