Albert Hughes: Jimmy Iovine Played Us "Hit 'Em Up" Early, We Begged Him Not to Release It (Part 15)

Allen is definitely the alpha brother. He’s Probably the older one. This guy actually ran from 2pac. He’s the weaker link. I can’t wait to see the Snoop biopic from Allen.

Albert Hughes has always been against violence and the instigation of it! When Tupac confronted him and his brother, Albert instead of fighting with his brother was instead willing to run onto oncoming traffic and sustain serious injuries on a busy LA freeway to make a symbolic point of how pointless violence is! Respect Albert✊🏽

[@dianevrules]

Hit Em Up was a song about Biggie. Not a song about SSC and Orlando. Not sure why people keep saying that Pac should not have released that song. It would not have stopped Pac from stomping Orlando, etc. Also Pac looks nothing like bs Orlando. Yall say that bs due to the similar eye brows. Nothing else is similar.

[@catdaddy2643]

Skin color is similar as well

[@mansamusa2012]

When Pac made that demonic satanic song, Diddy felt threatened as a normal person would so he hired the crips to steal a death row chain in Los Angeles. They met in vegas then boom 💥

[@Jonesmarc1]

@@catdaddy2643I have similar color skin to both pac and Orlando but I look like neither of them smh

[@tantertizzle3680]

The connection is that the South Side Crips, who acted as security for Diddy and his entourage when they were on the west coast on several occasions, had a on going gang problem with the mob piru, a blood gang, and affiliated With Suge and the higher echelon of death row records. That was the real problem, hit em up had nothing to do with it

[@Kalifornia_Dreaming]

Correct.They look nothing alike.Just both have bushy eyebrows.

[@CourageUnderFire87]

People get me with Tupac should’ve never released “Hit ‘em up” but right after PAC was setup at the studio in New York, Biggie released “Who shot ya”. Did anyone tell Biggie not to release his song??? To be honest “Who shot ya” was the song that put everything in motion with the beef. But everyone always wants to make excuses for Biggie and lie saying he wasn’t talking about Tupac when he WAS. Tupac had a right to feel some type of way about being setup and he ended what Biggie started in “Hit ‘em up”

[@johnfitcheard7112]

Hit'em up had nothing to do with 2Pac being killed. Him sticking his nose in some shit where it didn't belong got him killed.

[@hmosesmamulu6491]

Right but that energy was there. He was asking for death at ALL COST

Its all connected. SSCC was down with Bad Boy. U gotta remember ALL of Pacs bars in diss songs. "F the rap game nigga this M.O.B so believe me we ENEMIES" Literally the line that connects it all.

[@andrewbryce2707]

Diss records are part of the culture. All this talk of begging jimmy not to release the record is ridiculous and pathetic.

[@OlliWitta3_]

Y'all even PAC himself knew Hit Em Up and other songs mightve got him killed. Against All Odds. "PROBABLY BE MURDERED FOR THIS SHIT THAT I SAID" why yall keep acting like youre protecting Pacs legacy. Youre not. Always USE HIS WORDS when you're trynna defend or write a narrative. PAC already said it "Fuck the rap game nigga this M.O.B so BELIEVE me we ENEMIES" obvious diss to the SouthSide Compton Crips, a DIRECT diss at that. And it connects to "If u wanna be down with Bad Boy then Fuck You Too"

It kinda did. "If u wanna be down with Bad Boy then Fuck U Too" SouthSide..... also "Fuck the rap game nigga this M.O.B so believe me we Enemies" Pac knew what he was getting into. Back in 93 at the Compton shooting range interview, he said "one of these gangbangers could smoke me anyday"

[@OlliWitta3_]

@@Eg-bw1ce pipe down. Getting emotional like a marc. I said what I said.

Even frank Alexander said he told Pac"we're gonna need more security after u drop this" Typing clown emojis doesn't make your point any stronger.
