Bad Azz: 2Pac's Murder Started Death Row's Downfall

www.vladtv.com - Bad Azz opened up to VladTV about where he was when 2Pac was shot. He revealed that he recieved a phone call early on about the incident, but he never saw the legendary rapper before his death. He went on to express that Nate Dogg and the Outlawz witnessed the shooting, but were never able to identify the shooter after only seeing his arm.
Speaking more on 2Pac, Bad Azz revealed that he's holding on to some tracks with the "Dear Mama" rapper, which he's looking to release at the perfect time. The Long Beach spitter later told us that he has one track with 2Pac completed, but he explained that it's a "grimey" track that he's not set on releasing right now.
Check out more of what Bad Azz had to say in the above clip.

[@carltonbanks2865]

Dre leaving as well started the demise of Death Row but Pac was the ending, the nail in the coffin

[@itsrelativ3967]

Dre leaving was the cue for Suge to brainwash PAC into believing in that gang banging shyt. PAC didn’t grow up banging in L.A. He was caught up in a fake east coast west coast beef that white owned record labels profited from. He didn’t realize that Orlando Anderson was no random crip.

[@TheFadewolf]

Didn't dude beat his wife

[@stormblessedj]

The one fact no one can deny is that Tupac was TAKING THE RAP GAME WITH HIM. Jay Z is older then tupac nas and biggie and he was the sorriest rapper back then and had to steal Tupacs Song, Biggies Beats and Nas Style including backstabbing his good friend (DMX who is now broke) to gain some attention. (Go listen to that verse with big L on the FIRST album. Its garbage) Tupac is the GOAT

[@ColdtrainDavis6791]

+EliteKage what does dissing Jay Z have to do with Pac's greatness

[@stormblessedj]

+ColdtrainDavis6791 Because Jay Z is a generic rapper and people always says hes the goat without stating the facts. Theres a reason Tupac, Nas, DMX, and 50 cent don't like Jay Z and have all DIssed him

[@ColdtrainDavis6791]

+EliteKage Generic? He's one of the most legendary figures the game has and will ever have. Him and Nas reconciled, and 50 Cent attempted to go at everyone. Plus, he released his best album (Reasonable Doubt) in the summer of '96, in the middle of the hailstorm that was the East-West beef.

[@stormblessedj]

Everybody talks about 2Pac murder. Why don't you try researching his parents it's more to than just rap. RIP 2Pac then you will get and understanding of his death. 2Pac was raised under revolutionary's, who the FBI hated and killed most of the members. 2Pac had a vision to change our community, unfortunately we'll never get a change to see it. Because all rappers now are about themselves.

[@flaquis2729]

Since the 60's, Cointelpro was out to destroy the rise of a black "Messiah" Its documented. Tupac was the Black Messiah...

[@KazenoniKakuremi]

FBI killed or locked them up cause they were caught red handed robbing a Brinks Truck and killed a couple of cops during escape However, the way they connected that to Mutulu Shakur was via weak association forged using some of the most detailed and conveniently misplaced evidence in houses of some the most senior members with years and years of experience evading the Feds. So the likelihood that they would time and time again leave behind these detailed incriminating evidence as they moved hideouts...ZERO Further raising the brow of suspicion is the now declassified FBI docs(available on their website) about their secret COINTELRO program that was set up to target and neutralize militant political groups like Malcolm X, Black Panthers, BLA and even MLK by passive action ie discrediting or active action ie arrest These documents name Mutulu Shakur as a target. Although he pleaded guilty...his case was and is huge...just google him...there's volumes of evidence gathered by civil liberty lawyers over the years that dont just cast a shadow of shadow of doubt on his conviction but plunge doubt into the depths of abyss beyond the point of any visible light

[@4ArchieLee]

madd good points in this interview.

[@MarkWhippy]

Suge Knight going power crazy started the downfall

[@aminatak1985]

@Guess Who nah pac was holding the last one holding it doen, soon as pac died it was deathrow was dead

[@aminatak1985]

@Guess Who yes, but tbh i think even if pac didnt die, and i know pac wanted to build his own shit, pac would have been strong in the game, but i think deathrow would have eventually fallen, because of the way it was being ran by suge, tbh suge cause deathrow to fall, its weird that it took pac dying for all them to realize what was really going on, they finally realize half the stuff they though they owned wasnt really theirs.

[@aminatak1985]

@Guess Who yeah cause pacs first love was acting if he was here he will be 49, he will not be rapping at all, he might be doing a little something here and there, maybe mentoring up and coming rappers, but he will be more in to polictics, maybe would have written a book, start directing, being in more movies, managing a football league, if he was alive he would probably have been very respected as one of hip hop OGS, sometimes i hate the fact he joined deathrow, but i understood why, he was in a tough position and didnt wanna be in jail anymore, and deathrow was actually the best era in his career believe it or not, because they were actually focused on him and he was more organized, its weird cause he was actually changing around the time he died, he was even ready to let go of his beef with biggie, thats why it bothers me when people still bring it up, it wasnt that serious at all, the media blew it up to something its not.

[@aminatak1985]

@Guess Who cause pac would not fit into this generation cause tbh hip hop has lost the rawness and realness of it, pac was about bringing the raw and real, pac would mostly get along with maybe j cole, or kendrick or joyner lucas people like that. Yes i have heard his speeches , that man had a powerful voice, he had 5 years and its crazy to me when you really sit down and think about it, we talk about pac has if he was in the game for over 20 years and he was only in for 5 , and in and outta jail in between too, and when we talk about legends he always mentioned, thats what separates him from todays rappers look at the substance in his music at 19-25, and compare it to rappers today who are 19-25, they really not talking about nothing, i think tupac knew he was gonna die cause he was having dreams about it, and he was getting death threats, his murder is still a dark cloud for me, i know orlando pulled the trigger but i cant help to think its more to the story than a fight or a chain, because why was security told not to bring weapons this was not there first time in vegas either, why was that night different, there was a lady who wrote a letter to pac telling him to watch his back they planned on killing him, what did she know? i have so many questions, why did deathrow as them being affiliated with gangs and everything why did they feel so comfortable moving around without tight security after they just got into a fight with a known killer.

[@aminatak1985]

@Guess Who i think we live in a world now were, the beat is more important than the message, i mean the beat is important yes, but i like a song that i can listen to and leave with a message, a song that i can sit back and say damn, he speaking real stuff right there, tupac music has stood the test of time because a lot of people say he was ahead of his time, i don think so,i think he was just more aware than the average person, the things we turn a deaf hear to, he doesnt, all the issues he talks about been here for over a 100 years, we just got so comfortable that we turn a deaf hear not to hear or see these problems and tupac never did turn a blind eye or deaf ear, but then we gotta remember he was also a kid 25 is not grown at all, he was trynna find his way, he didnt have someone guiding him, he made it up as he went, and along the way he made some mistakes, i just hope he realized how much he meant to the people.

[@playboyrab]

So these hardcore gangstsa ass rappers saw the shooting and nobody thought to chase the Cadillac and pop off on them

[@Itzyourtimez]

Tupac was killed by Orlando Anderson, everyone has known this for years. The reason no one got charged in Tupacs death is because Orlando died in 98. His uncle that was in the car with him the night he shot Tupac is in jail also. In MY OPINION, the reason people have such a hard time accepting his death is because he died over some dumbass shit like stomping somebody out, but that's what happens in the REAL WORLD, you stomp out a gang member and they're going to retaliate, usually with a drive by, and in this case ended up costing Tupac his life.
