[@Keepdapocket]

I was 22. Recent grad and was in law school. From Philly, went to Morehouse, and had a paid internship in downtown Manhattan at this firm. I decided to treat myself to a break from work and studying for the bar. I decided to go to The Source Awards. At first, the energy was crazy, in a good way. My homeboy and I talking to all types of females, sapped up Craig Mac, Dazz, and a couple of other rappers. The night was right. I can personally tell you, about 1 1/2 hours into the show, the energy changed. It really felt something was going to pop off at any moment. You saw a lot of dudes posting up instead of trying to holla at the ladies. Dudes had their heads on swivels with a concentrated look, myself included. We stayed for the whole show, but we positioned ourselves for the get out in case something popped off. NY dudes was popping off at the mouth real hard about the diss. I mean regular dudes l, not rappers. The ish was crazy!!!

You are correct. That’s why suge gave him a shout out. The deal was suge bails Tupac out and Tupac releases 3 albums under the death row label. That’s the reason why “all eyez on me” was a double album. “Makavelli the don killuminati: the 7 day theory” was supposed to be his last album to fulfill that agreement

They tried real damn hard to bring it together. Dre, Snoop, Diddy. And because of the loss of Pac and Biggie, we wish we could rewind and make it work. Make it happen. But I always think of what might have happened if things were altered. I think of this when I was asked about something I am passionate about that has nothing to do with music. The RMS Titanic. I had always said "Oh I wish I could go back in time, and prevent it from sinking." But my college professor pointed this little nugget out to me. "John do you realize if the Titanic had not sunk that night, its sister ship Britannic would NOT have been made to have lifeboats for everyone. It sank in less than 30 minutes, rather than over 2 hours. Because of the Titanic ALL of Britannic's passengers made it off the ship in less than 30 minutes. (30 died only because they were sucked into the emerging propeller)" That hit me hard. If not for the sinking of the Titanic.....the next 3 sinkings would have had far far more casualties. And 1500 is a hard pill to swallow already. I no longer wish I could change this or alter that. Because there can always be seen a worse scenario down the line from it being altered in hind sight. I then sit in situations like this one and wonder.....would it have gotten worse? How much more worse could it have been? The olive branches were going out......but to no avail. I think honestly it took losing these absolute icons to make people wake the fuck up. Realize how wrong it really was, and how far it was going. But if it had not happened the way it did.....who would not be here now? Dre, Snoop....Wutang, Diddy, I mean the list is long. And then think of the people they have brought into the music world since then. The domino effect is mind numbing. As a lover of the hip hop golden time (80's and 90's) I long for new Tupac music. Biggie on a great track with Michael again. (This Time Around: HIStory) But I always remind myself of how much worse it could have been. It could have ended the entire genre. Maybe these icons were put into the place of losing them to END the absolute violence. It just makes me honor them all the more.

Was 16 at the time and while watching this it reminded me of a high school assembly in the auditorium and the presenters and winners were like the teachers trying to calm the students down falling on deaf ears 😂

[@vteknique]

Quality of your videos has been improving, props

[@drwho9319]

Easy E was the founder of gangster rap? Wasn’t Ice T doing gangsta rap before easy e?

[@moneymantwin1267]

It was all around the same time just mc eight and DJ quik too short e 40 ect was all rapping since the 80s everybody just didn't blow up til the 90s

[@MariaMaria-sr8zg]

Other people had done it as well but Eazy E is considered the Godfather of Gangsta Rap because he brought it more to the mainstream with NWA.

[@elijahkingbeats]

Awesome video I appreciate the effort put into this.

285 south Atlanta we got something too say for real andre

[@tuelzalt]

Its crazy how real that comment was... they been running rap for like 20 years now. West and East combined didnt do it as long. The issue is tbh the west idk... if you from over there they just different but it's fine if you from there... the East (Well NYC) they always ahead with fashion even to this day and they be having stars but their always beefing with eachother.

[@MusicProducerGameDeveloper]

@@tuelzalt from the 404 brother atlanta all that beefing was the decline of hip hop which not only caused beef between artist but producers dancers graffiti arts i.m a independent producer this day and age thank god back then there was no love unless it wasn't mainstreamed like going underground or in a different genre i wouldn't want too be a producer back then because the tension was crazy

[@The_Oblivion_Light]

You know, after all these years of interviews and story telling, there was one thing that stood out...Snoop had beef with both Biggie and 2Pac which gbrings me to a theory that Snoop had something to do with both deaths.

[@drosmith1781]

Snoop wasn't beefing with 2Pac in 95'. 2Pac was locked up.

[@The_Oblivion_Light]

@drosmith1781 True. But Snoop did say in one of his past interview that he Suge and Pac got into it for some reason and was they refused to speak to each other on a plane ride to Vegas...That very day Pac was killed.

The 90's was the golden age of rap and R & B at the time I was in my 30's I didnt like rap so much, mainly because gangster rap was for teenagers and people in their 20s, but the R & B male groups Dru Hill , Silk, Jagged Edge, 112 , H-town, boys 2 Men, and the crooners Jaheim, Tyreese, Tank ect were on the scene and I didnt really appreciate all of them the way I do know and how powerful that decade really was because the music the youth have today doesnt compare.

[@kyleraines3698]

Outkast being “little known” just sounds crazy now

[@jasonjay1053]

The most dangerous award show is now the infamous OSCARs when Will smith slapped Chris rock. No violence actually happened at the source awards tho. 😮😂

[@toxict2277]

You are really heating up w these videos bro keep it up !

[@newera5238]

The source awards was WILD back then, I remember watching this!

[@thenewjord50]

The 95 Source Award was the start of the Hip Hop Cold War

[@hannaanjoplin8970]

Good video, except I think you missed the other part of the point Quest love was making. It wasn’t just the east coast/ west coast beef that killed hip hop as we knew it. Quest love also mentions that at the same time, there was an east coast hip hop civil war going on between was was considered underground at the time ( Wu, red man, black moon , ditc, bush babees, Gangstaar, Native Tongue, etc…) and the new east coast street/commercial/ mafioso kingpin sound that Bad Boy, Raekwon ushered in. When Nas didn’t win a single award for illmatic and no underground artist won anything that night, it was official over for the grimy east coast underground sound. Nas switched his image up the next year, and no underground-style artist except for Wu tang saw that level of notoriety in hip hop ever again. That’s the real reason why Quest Love said hip hop died that night.

[@edsmith4821]

Suge knights reference to P Diddy could be said about DJ Khaled all up in the songs and videos like hes bigger that the artists without whom he would be nothing

[@MexicoTijuana741]

The Rap industry at this time is way more serious than back then. So many rappers get caught up in shit and killed.

[@lyngonsalves7768]

That east coast west coast had a huge ripple effect everywhere Even up north in Canada 🇨🇦 lol! You were either down with Biggie or Tupac Me personally listened more to the east coast however back of the bus by Outcast was a club banger with its hard rumbling bass and guitar🎸 accents All of hip hop has evolved since then into somany genres now in 2023 once again awesome short hip hop documentary!!

[@hxckerm666]

You don’t even have to pay for albums anymore… that’s the thing😕

[@claudegrinnell9602]

Hold up Tupac was not signed to death row during the awards

[@marvinlynch1305]

Pac was bailed out just two months later, so it's possible that he'd made a verbal agreement...and for Suge to shout out Pac during his speech, the deal was definitely in motion

[@Old_School_Monster]

If you watch the jail cells when Death Row artists are performing, you can see a 2Pac figure model made of carton inside on a cell. So that means a lot.

[@TKIvanov]

What I like to focus on about that night are the amazing live performances that happened!

[@lordfizzz]

It's crazy we see all this footage knowing the casualties but all these fans cheering and jeering didnt know how real it would get
