One thing you can say about Pac, no matter whether you think he was a gangster or not, a thug or not, a fake thug or not, an outlaw or not, a punk or not, EVERYBODY around him will tell you that above all Pac was fearless and afraid of nobody. A true Baby Panther!

Only people who say that about 2pac. Are east coast/New York Hip-Hop butt hurt stans lol. 2pac don't owed them shit. He lived in New York for 12yrs of his life. Bro wss still a baby. They always feel like 2pac owed them his life 😂😂 cause he was born in New York. But he didn't get his game from New York. He said in an 93 interview and it's on KZbin. That he respects New York and he's from there. But he claims Oakland, California and that's where he learned the rap game from and life experiences from.

This what happens when you sign contracts without reading them. STOP looking at that "big check" because that means less than shxt, if you're signing over royalties. Your big budget expenses(cars,clothes,travel, houses, ect) the label lets you have, must be paid back in full. Retain a lawyer outside of the label before you sign anything.

This goes to show you, Suge used 2pac. He gave 2pac exactly what he wanted: Women, jewelry and a few grand of dollars, cars and houses. To help him get back on his feet. Cause he knew, thats what 2pac wanted and he was fresh out of jail. And they aldo agreed to do a 3 album deal. And he gave 2pac all the studio time he wanted to record all the music he wanted. But at the end of the day, he wasn't giving 2pac his true royalty that 2pac put in the hard work for. And this isn't the first person to say, Suge was using 2pac.

Yes, Pac could run hot and cold that's obvious by the different interviews I seen. But, at the end 2pac clearly wasn't happy with Deathrow and was moving on.

Glad you said that, I agree they are needed. It gives much perspective into his last few weeks on Deathrow. But nobody should have to ask for money there owed.

It's clear to me he was making plans for an exit with the firing of his attorney and security 2 weeks prior.

Now, there is motive for a retaliation shooting worse case scenario. The least case scenario is that Pac would violate his probation and would have to go back to jail. Deathrow would get him out of trouble and he would owe a big favor to Suge. HENCE, your not going anywhere.

Pac`s mother, and Pac`s bodyguard Frank said Suge was being funny with the money when it came to Pac. And i think she and/or Frank said something along the lines of Pac was about to get DeathRow audited shortly before he got killed. And one of them said Pac had fired Suge`s lawyer. This is part of the reason why Suge should be seen as a one of the many suspect`s to Pac`s death. I think Pac kept this out of the media because he was too embarrassed because he said west side is the best side.

“How the fuck did I end up in this magical space with Tupac?” You ended up in that magical space because Suge Knight made the decision to bail Tupac out of jail. Tupac was his own man, but you should respect Suge for helping secure Tupac’s freedom to begin with. As for all that money going to Death Row, there was cost to bail him out. There was cost for his recording studio time, music videos, marketing, promotion, travel, hotels, restaurants, etc. All of that wasn’t free and can be very costly when catering to celebrities and their entourages. People who don’t understand music business don’t appreciate that record companies invest in artists in order to make a profit. They don’t do it out of love. It’s also a gamble on the record companies part, as the artist could bomb royally. And even with a golden goose like Tupac, the record company would still have to recoup their cost at a profit, and all other incidentals. Suge/Death Row had to answer to Interscope. Tupac would definitely have reaped the reward of his labor, but I don’t believe that he would have seen it at the time he expected to see it. After the 3rd album, he’d likely have been rolling in dough. It’s just tragic that the 3rd album was posthumous. It’s very sad really, because he worked so hard and had so much promise, but then it was all taken from him during one night moment of madness. He didn’t get to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Don’t subscribe to the notion that Death Row had anything to do with Tupac’s death simply because there was business/money conflict. Ask any artist, this is normal in the industry. Even Prince had beef with his record label.

@@thereasonthroughthebs Yeah he was setting up his label at Makivelli at death row for album One and then doing second album at duckdown records this is good Bit of writing hope you enjoy I did 😉- Tupac Shakur’s ‘One Nation’: Associates Share Story Behind Late Rapper’s Unreleased Album Paul MearaNation,” an excited Tupac Shakur said during the spring of 1996 while walking into Los Angeles’ Can-Am Studios, in a video available on KZbin (below). “It’s going to be an East Coast/West Coast collaborationThe 25-year-old rapper certainly had his differences with other artists, industry bosses and street soldiers - disputes that may have ultimately led to his death 20 years ago on Sept. 13, 1996 - but if you ask some of those who were with ‘Pac during the final months of his life, they tell a different story. Tupac’s unreleased and unfinished album known as One Nation intended to show the rap industry, and perhaps the world, that rappers from opposite coasts could work together. Looking back on One Nation, many of Tupac’s associates feel it had the potential to be his most acclaimed work. Those who were there during its initial recording sessions recall just how potent its message was shaping up to be. Perhaps the album was set in motion by his mother, Afeni Shakur, and her contributions to the Civil Rights movement. She combated the divide-and-conquer strategies of COINTELPRO, a program used by the FBI to survey, infiltrate and stifle the Black Panther Party, among other leftist groups, during its rise around the late ’60s and early ’70s. She was also pregnant with ‘Pac while behind bars. Afeni] was saying [the East vs. West beef] was reminding her of the tactics that COINTELPRO used,” E.D.I. Mean of Tupac’s affiliate group The Outlawz remembers. “Even though he was trying to explain to her that that’s not what he was doing, I believe some of that got through to him.” One Nation’s inception began with a meeting that hosted Tupac, members of his Outlawz crew and other trusted friends and advisors. At the time, ‘Pac was public enemy No. 1 to a lot of rap factions in New York and New Jersey, as most of the East Coast sided with Bad Boy during the label’s meteoric rise. His initial aim was to show he still had love for the East Coast, and his target was the Brooklyn rap collective, Boot Camp Clik. Comprised of the groups Black Moon, Smif-N-Wessun, O.G.C. (also known as Originoo Gunn Clappaz) and the newly-formed duo Heltah Skeltah, Boot Camp had the unique position of not being signed to a major label. The backpacks and Timberland boots they brandished in the videos for their highly successful underground singles “I Got Cha Opin,” “Bucktown” and “Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka” were about as New York as you could get. They also had formed their own label, Duckdown Records, a year prior, which many say ‘Pac admired as he was trying to start a label himself. Whoever we reached out [about One Nation] felt conflicted because they didn’t want to disrespect Biggie and Bad Boy. [They] had to be independent and self-sufficient in their own where they didn’t have to worry about offending nobody,” E.D.I. recalls. “On top of that, we were fans of Boot Camp. We was bumping that at the time so it was like, let’s reach out to Buckshot and the whole Boot Camp, and specifically Smif-N-Wessun. ‘Pac was like, ‘Oh hell yeah. That’s a great idea. I f-k with them too.'” Then came the phone call that would rock Buckshot (of Black Moon), Smif-N-Wessun and all of their cohorts to this very day. It was an initial correspondence that was almost written off as a prank. “We was in the studio and my boy called me. He said that ‘Pac was on the phone and I was like, ‘Get out of here.’ I didn’t believe him,” Buckshot recalls. “I was like, ‘Seriously?’ He said, ‘No bullshittin’.’ I went to the phone and sure enough it was ‘Pac. He said, ‘Yo, B, I want y’all to come out to California and work on this project with me [called] One Nation.’” Dru Ha, Duckdown Records president, adds, “Two days later he sent the plane tickets and we went out thereAs soon as the crew touched down in L.A., Tupac was out in front, greeting them with the biggest grin on his face. “Leave the bags,” he yells in video captured of Buckshot and his team getting out of the limousine ‘Pac had sent for them. From there the newly acquainted parties would head for Shakur’s new home in Calabasas where they stayed while recording his proposed new album. A familiar face also helped ease any discomfort. “Before we even get out the limo the first person we see is Snoop [Dogg],” General Steele of Smif-N-Wessun says. “Snoop and Buckshot see each other. They knew each other a long time from family members so it kind of eased the tension because we didn’t know what we was going into. This would be the first time for us meeting Tupac. Being cats from Brooklyn, we didn’t know how we’d be received.” According to Steele, he and the rest of his New York comrades were searched for weapons before entering the studio, a requirement that stemmed from the shooting at Quad Studios just two years prior. Following the search, they entered Can-Am studios, where they were eventually joined by the aforementioned Outlawz, Daz Dillinger, Nice & Smooth’s Greg Nice, The Luniz’s Numskull, and New Jersey natives Asu and Capital LS from the group Rumpletilskinz. Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel also supposedly stopped by at some point during Boot Camp Clik’s week-long stay in California. From those present, what came from the sessions was magic.We would just go to the studio and ‘Pac would stock the studio up with weed, liquor, chicken wings and shit and everyone would do what they do,” Young Noble from The Outlawz recalls. “Those guys are legends in the game. The music was the easiest thing.” Dru Ha remembers, “He just led by example of how he expected all these artists to record. He was just knocking songs out. He had his verses ready and was like, ‘Who’s up next? Who’s getting in?’ If the artists didn’t have a verse ready, he moved onto the next song. It didn’t matter who it was.” Those closest to Tupac say the media had spun the whole East versus West Coast beef out of control. He not only wanted to eventually end all beef but actually work with the people he was beefing with just days prior. “Pac was excited as hell to get into the studio with him two days before he got shot,” Young Noble says about Queens rapper Nas, who had briefly beefed with ‘Pac until they reconciled at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. “He didn’t even wanna go to Vegas, he was that excited. He was ready to get back into the studio. His energy was crazy to get back and finish up product. That would’ve been an album that would’ve changed the course of hip-hop because the timing of it.” Nas, Houston rapper Scarface, Bay Area’s E-40, Cleveland hip-hop crew Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and Atlanta’s OutKast were other names slated to feature on the LP, as confirmed by both The Outlawz and a handwritten ‘Pac letter that surfaced in February 2015.He was going to have volumes of One Nation,” Dru Ha says. “The first one was going to be on Makaveli, which was his imprint. He was like, ‘Yo, I’m going to have my label, Makaveli, do volume one,’ and then he said, ‘We’re going to put volume two on Duckdown.’” “It would’ve been a predecessor to an eventual Outlawz album that we were working on,” E.D.I. Mean notes. “The future was bright for us as a collective. We had so many different plans that we were working on that never came to fruition because of his eventual demise.” After the initial recording sessions, Boot Camp Clik and the rest of the non-L.A.-affiliated groups never recorded with Tupac again. They would stay in touch however. To this day, Tupac’s family still remains in contact with Buckshot and his crew. The Outlawz also continue to have a strong bond with Boot Camp. Tupac and Buckshot did meet again in New York months later at an awards show. Steele claims that ‘Pac handed Buck a cassette tape with more songs from the album that they didn’t have at the time. No one knows for certain how much of the album was actually completed. Estimates range anywhere from just four or five songs to 70 percent of it being done. Unofficial versions of the project have been released over the past 20 years, but none have been confirmed by Tupac’s estate. “It hurt me to know that eventually that whole thing with Biggie was going to die out. ‘Pac was a real motherfucker man. Real n-as don’t hold grudges,” says Buckshot. “I know we would’ve all moved on. It wouldn’t have been One Nation except for New York, One Nation except for Brooklyn, One Nation except for Biggie. It would’ve been One Nation, and it would’ve been all of us.”

It’s quite simple what they were doing. They know that Pac is the golden goose and Suge know he makes money for the label and needs him more than Pac needs them so drip feed him his own money so that they can keep him around long enough on the label because the amount of money he is making and the way he thinks he’ll be on his way asap if given all his money
