Damn, the more you hear about real rappers who actually hung out with him, make you miss Tupac even more. He seemed to be a real, humble, happy dude. RIP PAC.
The whole east-west thing was a media creation. The truth is Pac always had love for the east coast. One of his best friends was Treach from Naughty By Nature. His main crew Outlawz was from Jersey. Kurupt from Dogg Pound was originally from Philly. Pac had loved for Boot Camp Click, Wu-Tang, Def Squad, and KRS-One and his crew. The fact is he had a problem with select people, mainly Biggie and Puff. The media got ahold of shit and made it east vs. west to stir up controversy.
I agree. The fact tht he was reppin West Coast loudly... and the fact that he was bussin' at any East Coast artist... that even spoke on it the wrong way... made people feel dif. Plus its really simple to just say "east vs west." Tho its true the East coast was kinda "uppity" about what "real hip hop." Not sure how they are today since its a lot of trap/strip club music now :( At the end of the day, Suge had a prob w Puff, even b4 Pac was on DR, Suge's homey died in an ATL club. And Pac had a prob w BIG. 4 dudes on 2 labels. Sucked a lot of oxygen out of the room. MJG angrily spoke on it in "Reason for Rhymes"... an 8Ball/MJG track... i think frm 96
Pac was down with everyone from KRS ONE, Big Daddy Kane, Boot Camp, Pete Rock n CL, Gang Starr, Wu Tang, Freddie Foxxx, Redman, EPMD, Run DMC, Brand Nubian, Naughty by Nature, Dogg Pound, Bone Thugs, Organized Konfusion, damn near every legend in the game man!!!!
One Nation it's never been released it was suppose to be pacs album on his own label he was connecting artists from all round the nation west,east,south.north
These niggas are LEGENDS thank God they are alive!! Pete n Smif n Wessun damnn...i remember Swollen Tank by Smif n Wessun, wow amazing track from back then!
LMBO! Tupac was a Fool and True New Yorker! I'm so happy Pete Rock and Smif-N-Wessun revealed some good stories about Tupac! Luv you all! Now, if you all can only open a real School of Hip hop and teach the younger generation how it is supposed to be done!
the war was death row vs bad boy.....but a lot of east coast rappers not on bad boy were dissing the west (Q-Tip did on a mixtape freestyle over a mobb deep beat, King Sun did a whole 3 verse song dissing Pac, DMX, Mobb Deep and Jay z were throwing shots on mixtapes etc)
Don't let them twist it on you honey, you right 2pac is from NY. He was born in east Harlem and was raised there til he was 15 and then he went to Baltimore. West coast cats don't want to talk about that though. He was the perfect NYER, no allegiance to anyone but him self. No gang no set no hood no crew no posse, no coast, all for Delf.
My father, my brother and my son are all Geminis you never know what you're getting with Geminis. One day one way another day something totally different.
"it's a Gemini t"hing .....which means it's gonna be very interesting and a bit different , chip of the ol block, innovative, communicative, i do believe
Everybodys sayin it was "Westcoast vs. Eastcoast". Hell no! Here u see, Tupac was cool with Smif-N-Wessun and the whole Boot Camp Clik, Pete Rock, Redman, Method Man etc.....!!!!!!!
@KeepItAlwaysReal Treach from Naughty By Nature was Pac's best friend. He's from the East Coast. Tha Outlawz are from New York and New Jersey. Also close with Jada Pinkett Smith, Mike Tyson, Mickey Rourke and Marlon Wayans. All from the East Coast.
People don't do their own research...smh The industry in New York & on the east coast shut Pac out when he initially tried to get in the industry... When he moved out west, his skill gained traction & the west coast accepted him as their own... West coast was about real life & funk back then... The east coast was about styles, materialism, cinema, Mafioso, etc... So when Bad Boy & Puffy approached Pac about joining them, ofcourse he blew them off... He was on the same shit back when they were younger, & got ignored... He didnt need them more than they needed him... He succeeded without a famous label representing him... Technically, thats when the shadow power structure in the music business turned up their offensives on Pac... The Government was already on Tupac before any of that...
You know what’s crazy is that there’s only a hand full of artists that truly had pacs back. I can name Scarface, Treach, shock G, Richie rich, Greg nice and cl smooth, ray luv, huesein fatal, and a few others ! That’s it! That’s fucked up
Damn, the more you hear about real rappers who actually hung out with him, make you miss Tupac even more. He seemed to be a real, humble, happy dude. RIP PAC.
AGREED
Facts
Pac was born in NYC. fools acting surprised he got respect and love from home
Tell em again, especially the hating ones at the back
They only acting like that because media and suckas believed all the hype and bullshit . Of course a real one would love his home
and Pac always did show love to New York n let it be known he from New York and Love New York
Yes Pac was bred from the east coast? But Pac claimed west coast because that’s where he was taught the game!
Man smif n wessun they had a lot of love for pac
New York has love for 2Pac. You'll see portraits of Pac on the walls in the streets of NYC. That's love.
This is hilarious. Love them reminiscing about Pac, makes you miss him even more. Rest in Power
NYC really LOVES 2PAC! LOVE
Real recognize Real.

Gemini Gang
Sad that the album "One Nation" was never released because I'm a fan of Tupac and the Boot Camp Clik.
I wish One Nation came out so Boot Camp could've been exposed to the mainstream. They deserved it.
Facts
i love pete rock. stay up bro
The love the boot camp click had for Pac was so genuine
Pac always said it wasn't about east and west it was personal beef between him and big and puff.
Pac never said B.I.G.'s name in Makaveli.

Best comment. This is a great story.
I've always been a fan of Bootcamp Click and when I heard Pac was gonna work with them, I was hyped to hear the music.
Tupac literally jumped from clique to clique 🎉that dude was having a good time 😅
Very interesting story!
A big shout out to Smif N Wessun and legendary Pete Rock man.

Tupac was born in Harlem N.Y. He moved to Baltimore from there when he was 12, then moved to L.A. when he was 17. Tupac is from New York.
R.I.P Tupac and Aaliyah
great interview...
i love pete rocks shirt! that's death row east sitting up there.
Death row east? Man death row would had them singing not rapping . Pete alone was better then the whole row !
PAC is so loyal dah
props to all the gemenis!
I CANNOT find Pete Rocks track with Raekwon. "Tha Game" anywhere on youtube. WACK! Nor the instrumental.
Smiff n wessun Da Shining is the most underrated hip hop album of all times
G.H.E.T.T.O. that acronym was deep
this kind of stuff is the reason why I subbed to VladTV!!!
stuff like this that is priceless
Loving the NIRVANA t'shirt
the war was death row vs bad boy.....but a lot of east coast rappers not on bad boy were dissing the west (Q-Tip did on a mixtape freestyle over a mobb deep beat, King Sun did a whole 3 verse song dissing Pac, DMX, Mobb Deep and Jay z were throwing shots on mixtapes etc)
"Wreckonize!"
Wait Smif N Wessun in the studio with Aaliyah?
much love this remind me of one of homies from the hood.
Don't let them twist it on you honey, you right 2pac is from NY. He was born in east Harlem and was raised there til he was 15 and then he went to Baltimore.

My father, my brother and my son are all Geminis you never know what you're getting with Geminis. One day one way another day something totally different.
it's a gemini thang!. boot camp click, wu-tang, outlawz, dogg pound, bone thugs and later t.r.u. was all i listened to back than.
Missing 2 Pac
