Dre leaving was the best thing he did.

[@napfullo712]

Notice Dre was dissing Biggie on the set of California love music video and wanted to work on Hit’em up , but later just like Snoop he claimed that he is cool with everybody, PAC was the only real one ☝️

[@KevinBrown-vw4nm]

Because Dre and Snoop saw what eventually happened coming. They wanted to make peace. Pac didn't. So does that make them real or smart?🤔

[@napfullo712]

@@KevinBrown-vw4nm it makes them cowards , if you are not ready for war it’s fine , but don’t be dissing , keep quiet and no questions for you , but they were dissing openly and wide , but then changed their colors, studio gangsters move

[@KevinBrown-vw4nm]

@ХИП ХОП FILES Pac dead and Suge in jail for the rest his life. Seems to me they was smart. And also looking at the outcome, Pac "Wasn't ready for war" 🤷🏽‍♂️ Love Pac tho, but those are just facts

[@TosereOjeme]

@@napfullo712false! The war was fake and for marketing, people were dying behind a fake war. They weren’t cowards, they were smarter. There is a thin line between Bravery and stupidity, Tupac thread that line and eventually got himself killed.

Facts bro

[@ashtonrussell4820]

It's a blessing to still see edi with us man 🙏💪💪💯💙🤜🤛

[@Reaperflows]

Facts he a smart man love hearing the stories from him

[@chrisveraghoststories7353]

Tupac knew exactly where was going. He was, the boss. He just got out from doing almost a year in prison ..survived an attempt on his life..and he got to put it all down, right before his departure. Fucking Genius. It just took the rest of the world to catch up to his vision..28 years later ..and his tracks are still banging. God bless 🙌

[@adriansmith1939]

Imagining DMX and 2pac were together and still were alive 😢

[@chrisveraghoststories7353]

And relevant. Extremely Relevant. In 2023...Can you Image? He spoke his visions on a daily basis. People literally thought he lost his mind..now we understand..most of it. Damn.

[@brentbackwoods2498]

Eminem saved Dre's career. Dre left death row with nothing.

[@kennethgrayson2864]

False because he took his talent with him and any rapper would've work with him. Especially since he left death row.

[@cryptolord9826]

Nobody needed to save Dr Dre he saved himself leaving death row

[@whatwhat9004]

So Dre should feel bad for having a good eye for talent?? He started Aftermath label and needed a rapper for it. And saw the potential in Eminem that people like Fat Joe passed up on.

[@acidmack1041]

​@Kenneth Grayson Is that why Dr.Dre presents The Aftermath flop then?

[@jasperkumar9469]

I agree.

[@gonstead808]

Dr. Dre is no doubt a one of the best producers and beat makers in the game. But Pac was a work horse. Pac demanded things to be done and wanted to make music like crazy. And Dre being a perfectionist taking his time was not a good mix. Pac made 3 plus songs a day without listening to it again.

[@NGT4LIFE]

Yeah Dre and Pac did things differently,,,Dre liked to take his time and perfect things. Pac just wanted to get things done quickly....so from that point of view it was frustrating for Pac.

[@1jonbarnes1]

2Pac didn't really need Dre beats. Look At All The Hits He Had Without Dre & He's The 2nd Highest Selling Rapper Next To Eminem. 2Pac Is Iconic 🅰️➕

[@TheTheRido]

No pac Def didnt need the dre beat, BUT dre would have taken pac to a whole different level if he could have taken him with him. Imagine if pac had gone with dre and been on 2001

[@lorenhoward8178]

Dre only produced 2 songs for Pac. Co-produced 2 songs for tha dogg pound album, and produced one song for the murder was the case soundtrack. It was clear after Doggystyle, other producers carried the weight and he backed up.

[@jordanflores5687]

Dre had his hands in all of it you think daz really produced all those songs???? Nah the only ones who probably didn't need dre were johnny j and quik other than that dre had his hands in it in someway......actually I remember reading an article or interview or whatever it was way way back I'm talking 20 plus years ago I don't remember who reported it but they were saying how dre was Producing everything but because of the eazy e lawsuit and how they had to pay eazy for anything with dres name on it they just had dre do the music and slapped someone else's name on the credits

[@tc_thornton]

@@jordanflores5687 eazy only got paid off the Chronic. Not Doggystyle or anything after. I wasn’t knocking Dre, more so saying…he was mentally checked out way before he actually left.

[@toya1hodson163]

According to natasha walker Tupac and suge was feuding with Dr. dre. She stated that Dr. Dre said they were both immature and he was leaving. Natasha also said the money and fame got to Tupac's head. Everyone is speaking from their perspective.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Dre left cuz of DeathRow’s members that was making problems beyond music, like crime, drugs and troubles with the law, so he decided to leave, i think he knew that this kind of trouble will case a lot of disaster, Pac’s death was one of the rests and vanished DeathRow forever, even when it came back to snoop, it’s not the way it is as it was, Tupac was DeathRow, Pac should have left it before Dre or with him 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mactray8557]

But dre leaving was Suge doing, he was supposed to protect his artist especially Dre! Glad Dre left, that was a more real of a move to leave with nothing and bounce back

[@soulrelaxing3888]

I thought Tupac had his on label before Death Row called OUT THE GUTTA RECORDS

[@PurplePillRiches]

I thought so too

[@TingTong2568]

Yeah, but that label was under interscope back then.

[@unclemurdablackandyellow5481]

He did. His previous contract was still in play. You have to understand that deathrow was a subsidiary of Interscope. Pac was already signed to Interscope directly. All Jimmy did was basically push him on Suge. Jimmy didn't want to deal with pac directly and he thought Suge would keep him at bey. That's why jimmy wouldn't bail pac out. Had pac waited a bit instead of coming home in oct to deathrow his royalties from both the Thug Life album and Me Against The World wouldve came in. Now I'm not sure if or how far he may have been in the red with Interscope. I can imagine jimmy was probably helping pay all of pac lawyers, bail $, advances for making those albums. The artist gotta pay all of that shit back.

[@DLabri3]

this is true. but indie labels are often distributed by bigger companies. So could be His label /Interscope or whatever situation he in at that time

Facts but was young and got set up about the rape got shot and every one was coming at him for money. Had a lot of lawyer fees and didn’t know who to trust so he was working like he knew he wasn’t going to be around long. So I understand why Dre left and why pac felt how he felt. Dre was 31 and pac was only 24 or 25.

Something is not adding up, how was Dre with Hit Em Up when in an interview at the time he said they better kill that east west bs cause people from the east ain't gonna be comfortable to come out here to LA and vice versa. So I'm very confused about that

[@johnsorto6737]

Hit'em up had a demo version that was recorded months before it got re-recorded with new verses and the finished beat.

[@mason1486]

I think the question is how was Dr. Dre condoning Hit ‘Em Up if he was supposed to be an advocate against East Coast v. West Coast.

[@youtuberabbithole6002]

​@@mason1486i believe Eric B said in some interview Hit em up was intended in some way to show that there wasn't a East/West issue but a Deathrow/bad boy issue. 2pac was told to name the people directly so people didn't think he was going at a whole coast.

Edi is correct. Suge had already told 2Pac that he wanted him to be his own man. Suge just wanted to be the distributor for Makaveli Records etc (Like Dre/Aftermath is for Shady Records). Suge was genuinely a good dude.
