That One Time Tupac Morphed Into Prince | I Talked To 2pac.

- Jamilah Barnes Creekmur was introduced to her cousin's assertive personality well before he hit the world stage. Years before he became the rap legend 2Pac, a moment that is now her fondest childhood memory was a precursor to who he would become.
As a teenager, ‘Pac took it upon himself to play manager to his younger sister and cousins, gathering them together for makeshift performances as their favorite musical groups. Putting household items to use as their instruments, a young Tupac would organize their big “on stage” moments. His favorite band to portray? Prince and the Revolution. His role? Prince - every single time. And did anyone have room to object? Of course not. Foreshadowing his outspoked persona, he did not mince words with his answer to an inquiry about why he would always take the starring role.
“I’m out here gettin’ us work! Are you gonna be out here, bookin’ these jobs and gettin’ us performances? Until you’re ready to be out here managing this group and takin’ us on tour, I’ma be Prince! And if anybody got a problem with me being Prince, they need to let me know!”
For Creekmur, this was an early testament to Tupac’s dedication to anything he was involved in. If he were still alive today, his cousin believes he would be a frontrunner for justice in the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
“If I could have a conversation with Tupac now, there’s so much that I would talk to him about,” she said. “One of the most pressing things is just how black and brown people’s lives are being taken senselessly and without justification. In my spirit, I feel like he would absolutely be at the forefront of those conversations.”
Watch Jamilah Barnes Creekmur recall her cousin 2Pac in the video above. Stay tuned for more 'I Talked to 2Pac' stories with the hashtag #iTalkedToTupac.

![WHEN PRINCE MET HIP HOP & TUPAC SHAKUR [S2E6]](/img/n.gif)
I always knew my boy Pac had much love 4 Prince because he sampled his music,wrote his lyrics like him and even said he wanted 2 hang out with him because Prince always surrounded himself with beautiful women.
Very tru I miss these legends🙏🏽
Because they were both Geminis, and so was Biggie.
True, When Thugz Cry and Pac's Life are two examples off the top of my head
RIP Tupac and Prince especially Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and Bob Marley.
I always knew Pac had to be a Prince fan every since I heard"What's Ya Phone Number" on the "All Eyez On Me" album. Rest In Peace to 2 Legends with unbelievable talent.
And when thugs cry!! U forgot one
@@gervoutlaw1 yes sir
That was a rick james sample i believe in that song
@@micsmith672 It was sampled from "777-9311" by The Time. Prince created the record.
Prince & Pac are my favorite artists. They're the greatest artists of the 21st century. Poets, artists, just two of the greatest ever. Two Gemini's. Can't forget Lisa Lopez, she was a Gemini too, very special...
That’s Gemini love right there. Both prince and Tupac were Gemini’s.
No particular place I didn’t kno Prince was a Gemini.
@@Deetruckin very much so. Biggie as well

A dream about Prince being involved in Pac’s death brought me here. Long story short, Pac drove with Prince and his lil cousin to wherever he went in my dream (the forest, not Vegas) to get shot. Felt mad real to be honest.
The dream is a metaphor to something in your life...whatever that may be is up to you figure out
Why is #blacklivesmatter hash tagged on this video?
Go do some research, dude.
