Very nice observation. Blasphemy is just a work of art, probably his best song ever. There is all kinds of entendres and hidden meanings in that song that are STILL being discovered today LOL. Easily one of the deepest and most quotable hip hop songs ever recorded.

@@bigprob8744Why are people obsessed with this? So what he took a Dance or Ballet course in High School? He had too, it was a Performing Arts School, you have to take required classes in order to graduate 🙄. PAC didn’t hide it at all. I can link you 2-3 interviews of him taking about it and when he had to dance with Blow up dolls wearing a G-string as a Roadie with Digital Underground. He didn’t hide anything and no one cared about these things when he was Alive!
They have interviewed Tupac's performing arts teacher in Baltimore. He was interviewed on the 25th anniversary of Pac's death by the Baltimore News outlets
He seems genuine in his sharing. He admits his flaws and openly acknowledges his history of substance abuse. Also, when he’s uncertain about facts he makes that clear rather than offers lies of convenience. This interview is better than all of the Vlad interviews about Pac. He’s giving up some gems.
“What more can I say, I wouldn’t be here today, if the old school didn’t pave the way!” 2 Pac immortalized that experience in a song called “Old School” where he talked about all of that in this video. I’m surprised they didn’t make the explicit connection!
I love hearing from his family. His cousin is a good story teller. Between Pac's father and his cousin it makes me look forward to see the next clip from the full interviews.

This was a really great one right here. I don’t think ppl realize the jewels he was dropping about the foundation of Hiphop. The fact that he name dropped Disco King Mario shows how authentic this story is. Also it’s amazing to hear stories like this from his family. You think you heard em all then they give you some more in depth insight to who Pac truly was.
Facts! Pac was MC York. I'm from down South. But back then we loved New York rappers. I use to love me some songs from Rakim, Dana Dane, Doug E Fresh, Slick Rick etc.
There was nothin like the 70's n 80's in NY. Summer block parties, break dance battles, double dutch, Olde English, Sixty Niners. Square Biz n It Must Be Magic were my jams as a kid.
This resonates with me growing up in NYC. I remember hip hop before records from about 74-75. In Brooklyn we had Grandmaster Flowers playing the jams at parks like Lincoln Terrace in Crown Heights and my uncles and aunts used to call them “get offs”
Don’t tell the Trolls that…his 1 ballet class at 15 negates everything he did afterwards 🙄…small minded people on the internet 😂 have ZERO LIFE EXPERIENCES or Insight.
@@MrTee12so true man 😂 that’s literally the only thing the haters can throw at pac . A school lesson at 15 years old . All these stories , we could make a timeline of pac really from the gutter , struggling , real “gangster’ shit BEFORE and after juice or death row . There’s at least 15 events of him being solid and 0 of him being fake .
Delray and Art are great interviewers. I like how they let the people that they interview talk without steadily interrupting them with information that isn’t relevant to the interview. Great job on these interviews.
One thing about this William dude is that he is believable. You could tell he doesn't remember everything clearly, which is understandable after so many years, but I believe everything he says.
It's great to hear his visual interpretation of the vibe of the culture at that show! There's nothing like your first experiences at a live hip-hop show and Pac broke it down so eloquently on the song "Old School" on the "Me Against the World" album and probably pulled from that experience with his cousin. I remember one of my first experiences at a live show and it's priceless. Damn, I wish I woulda been able to experience a 2pac show!!! I was able to catch Bone Thugs, Mobb Deep, Wutang, and especially Nas in my lifetime thankfully!!!

I heard it just last year on social of people playing that in Asia. All those people in Asia was playing that track during a protest. It resonate with today almost 30 years later.

Del great interview I like the way you are introducing and getting information about Tupac the man not just Tupac the star.. keep up the great work bro!!!
I felt the way you felt when i first heard tupac. "BRENDA'S GOT A BABY" IM 1 YR OLDER THAN TUPAC ,AND WHEN I FIRST SEEN THAT VIDEO, I SAID THIS GUY IS SOMEONE SPIRITUALLY SPECIAL ❤❤❤!!!!
Man i love it he was in the presense of the 5 borough's when it was getting laid down just like when he was around when the west coast was being laid down TUPAC IS MUTHAFUCKIN HIP HOP.
When you find out Disco King Mario gave PAC the feelin 🤦🏾♂️, for anyone that doesn’t know, Mario was the DJ that really put this thing in motion. Kool Herc and Bam learned for Mario and it was the strength he displayed within the black spades that let dj’s preform with out there sht getting tooken.
I would love to see a story on pac early years from his birth up until he's 17 and it has to be a series, this story definitely would be apart of season one of 2pac's life..and if it was up to me the show would be call "The Rose that grew from the concrete".
Dang i didn't know Pac lived in my hometown of Soundview, birth place of B boying! Pac's cousin ain't lying! I had seen Dj Hollywood ( who's from Harlem) back in '76 the first hip hop show i had ever seen playing in Seward Park in the Soundview area BX!!
Now you see in Juice how the crew went in the record store to steal albums for Q's party set. Pac's character told Steele to be quiet and put certain records back. They say Juice was written almost ten years earlier which would of had it in the early 80s instead of 91. So if you even go back to the time Billy Garland said he done that with Pac, it'll make sense now. That culture was in New York at that time. Pac has always said he's had a family full of hustlers, criminals and Revolutionaries. Now My Block and definitely Old School tracks come to mind.
Wow now that I just head about the incipient point of Pac's involvement in Hip Hop then maybe a whole new movie about Tupac and Hip Hop needs to be made. I am not taking anything from Dear Mama movie it was dope but I thing we need one strictly about Tupac.
That's so interesting. He did a song dedicated to HipHop, that song was called - "Old School" there was a lot of songs.. but I feel that that Old School song describes what William L saying in this interview. Tupac was gone too soon. :(
He was one of the contributors. There were many. Didn't you hear him name several names? Not just Disco King Mario RIP 🙏🏾 shout out to Kool Herc as well. There was a confluence of ideas and events that lead to what we call Hip Hop
Bro what hip hop was created in 73 this story is like in 78 or 79. You sound insecure and your just creating more divide. I’m from NY and hip hop was started by Kool Herc he’s Jamaican and it spread and Black Americans, Jamaicans, and Puerto Ricans developed the culture throughout the 70s in NYC. If you not from this city in that era don’t speak on it. NYC is a melting pot especially the hood I grew up side by side with Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, Haitians, Dominicans, Trinidadians , Panamanians, Black Americans all of it. You trying to divide our people you not one of us.
Bro!!!! Do yall know he's backing up a legendary story. All the OGs who really created Hip Hop talk about Corvettes is where they stole their albums from.

Pac said, “there ain’t nothing like The Old School”!!!! I’m about to go listen to it.
That’s insane that a founding father of hip hop played records that were boosted by a 6 yr old 2pac 😮
Oh snap. He said Korvette's!!! The Korvette's used to be in shopping plaza on Boston Rd at the foot of the bridge.
Who remembers the 2 guys store?
I wasn’t around for that time but I’m from that side of the bx
I felt the way you felt when i first heard tupac. "BRENDA'S GOT A BABY" IM 1 YR OLDER THAN TUPAC ,AND WHEN I FIRST SEEN THAT VIDEO, I SAID THIS GUY IS SOMEONE SPIRITUALLY SPECIAL ❤❤❤!!!!
Great story. He’s absolutely right about NY and those parties. Being a 73’ baby, that experience was mesmerizing.
@akingallah436 Same here homie 11/24 '73 🦍👑
He had 2 pick up young Pac & carry him away 🥹 at that time who would’ve ever knew 👑
Man i love it he was in the presense of the 5 borough's when it was getting laid down just like when he was around when the west coast was being laid down TUPAC IS MUTHAFUCKIN HIP HOP.
When you find out Disco King Mario gave PAC the feelin 🤦🏾♂️, for anyone that doesn’t know, Mario was the DJ that really put this thing in motion. Kool Herc and Bam learned for Mario and it was the strength he displayed within the black spades that let dj’s preform with out there sht getting tooken.
Factz
I remember the Korvettenkapitänen on White Plains Rd right off The Bruckner . There usta be a Jack in The Box Right in front of Korvettes .
Real! None of that is there anymore
I would love to see a story on pac early years from his birth up until he's 17 and it has to be a series, this story definitely would be apart of season one of 2pac's life..and if it was up to me the show would be call "The Rose that grew from the concrete".
Pac da GOAT
still after close to 3 decades gone
Dang i didn't know Pac lived in my hometown of Soundview, birth place of B boying! Pac's cousin ain't lying! I had seen Dj Hollywood ( who's from Harlem) back in '76 the first hip hop show i had ever seen playing in Seward Park in the Soundview area BX!!
2 pac is the best rapper of yesterday today and tomorrow
Man, Art. I told you the same thing on twitter... You are doing it right my friend! You gonna catch up to Vlad. This sht right here is SOLID GOLD!!
He’s been the realist on Tupac I’ve seen since his moms
this is the best interview ever
Now you see in Juice how the crew went in the record store to steal albums for Q's party set. Pac's character told Steele to be quiet and put certain records back. They say Juice was written almost ten years earlier which would of had it in the early 80s instead of 91. So if you even go back to the time Billy Garland said he done that with Pac, it'll make sense now. That culture was in New York at that time. Pac has always said he's had a family full of hustlers, criminals and Revolutionaries. Now My Block and definitely Old School tracks come to mind.
He was a NY nigga, didn't even spend that much time on the west coast. Lol!!
Lesane is the person they need to produce and direct a PAC movie! 🔥
The interviewer borderline sound like Denzel Washington🔥😂😂😂
Or am I just tweakin'
Wow now that I just head about the incipient point of Pac's involvement in Hip Hop then maybe a whole new movie about Tupac and Hip Hop needs to be made. I am not taking anything from Dear Mama movie it was dope but I thing we need one strictly about Tupac.
These stories would’ve made great scenes in the biopic!
This normal unfortunately. I think its bad when its like the parents who do it.
Man 2Pac cuzin is a great story teller👍
I’m enjoying this interview, mans just telling it as it is
That's so interesting. He did a song dedicated to HipHop, that song was called - "Old School" there was a lot of songs.. but I feel that that Old School song describes what William L saying in this interview. Tupac was gone too soon. :(
Pac soaked it in from the pioneers themselves at 6. That's crazy
Ask him why none of the founders mention disco king Mario seem like he was the real founder
Because that will kill all that cool herc, and Jamaicans started hip hop bs these clowns be spewing
That will kill all that Jamaicans started hip hop
He was one of the contributors. There were many. Didn't you hear him name several names? Not just Disco King Mario RIP 🙏🏾 shout out to Kool Herc as well. There was a confluence of ideas and events that lead to what we call Hip Hop
Love these old Pac stories. Dope how he explained how Pac first was introduced to hip hop .
That's a dope story..pacs introduction to Hip hop.. ❤✊🏿🔥💯
“Words of wisdom” .. teenage Pac rappin amazingly about amazing theme ,revolutionary mind n super track
Nice , finally some story's of him before juice. He was always a G.❤
3:01
… that laugh 🫣🤭
This is one of the best Tupac stories I've ever heard, and it more proof that Foundational Black American created invented hip hop
Bro what hip hop was created in 73 this story is like in 78 or 79.
You sound insecure and your just creating more divide. I’m from NY and hip hop was started by Kool Herc he’s Jamaican and it spread and Black Americans, Jamaicans, and Puerto Ricans developed the culture throughout the 70s in NYC.
If you not from this city in that era don’t speak on it.
NYC is a melting pot especially the hood I grew up side by side with Jamaicans, Puerto Ricans, Haitians, Dominicans, Trinidadians , Panamanians, Black Americans all of it. You trying to divide our people you not one of us.
You sound like Denzel for a bit when he was giving his flowers LOL
It’s dope that Pac was living in the area that founded hip hop
Bro!!!! Do yall know he's backing up a legendary story. All the OGs who really created Hip Hop talk about Corvettes is where they stole their albums from.
We need a new 2 pac movie with all the new truth on my boy
Tupac is a testimony that God is real. His life was movie
These interviews should win awards
He sparked his brain.
Delray my man you are great at this brother.
This is funny as fuck this is what you call a real ass conversation this shit ant scripted lol lmao love it this is real shit
i feel him, and GOD what happened to Hip-Hop today?! I remember hip hop in the 90s was still fresh and new
"Remember Rappin' Duke? Duh-ha, duh-ha. You never thought that hip-hop would take it this far"
- Christopher George Latore Wallace
You said his whole Government name .. smh.. how about, just Biggie..
@@infiniteg7852 because I wanted to use his government name, and that's my prerogative. Biggie, Biggie Smalls, The Notorious BIG - all personas. Christopher was the artist and the talent.
@@ResilientBeing1987 you’re corny . That’s my prerogative
@@infiniteg7852 Nothing is cornier than trolling someone over a comment. Boy, I'm hella grown. I don't have time to go back and forth with a corny a$$ UA-cam stranger who is coming for me over MY comment. I quoted him because the lyrics to that song are relevant to the content of this interview. If you were listening carefully, you would have caught on. $hut up talking to me, kid.
