Ray Luv On Forming Rap Group With 2Pac And Writing Verse On "Trapped" From 2Pacalypse Now. Part 1

[@brentbackwoods2498]

Mann I got chills when he started reciting 2pacs panther power lyrics

[@thatdude3977]

Man f yo beach and the click you claim. 2pac was a plant tbh he caused so much hate among black communities

[@jgip64]

Me too…Ray Luv seems like a cool dude

[@derrickhoward1543]

​@@jgip64He lies tho.

[@BUMPY_G_JAXON]

I was blind by the b***** a**n***** I wish I never listened to that dude

[@BrandonHaymon]

​@@derrickhoward1543And what did lie about?

[@jgip64]

Goated interview!!! 2pac was national chairman of new afrikan panthers in 1989 at the age of 18 but we don’t discuss that conscious side of Pac enough.

[@NICKEYBLACK35]

Facts

[@AngelHoll-b6b]

Wow he was? I didn't know that I miss pac he was very special and very kind and he had a good heart I wish I could have hugged him!!!

[@jesusflores2121]

This side of Pac is what people need to hear to get the full picture. It's not like Pac came out and said, "yo, I'm a gangster," but he was sympathetic to every black man's plight. He did things in the hood on principal according to how he was raised, which kind of shielded him from the streets.

[@Donnelius]

This is a dope insight and proof of who Pac was way before the money fame and even first record. I'm glad Ray Luv pointed this out cause many ppl (I.e. Michael Jai White) look at that interview with Pac at 17 and draw conclusions that he was just a feminine kid, when really he was just a well spoken and articuate young man that was still going through real problems in the street, be it guns, drugs, family addictions, police brutality.

[@thatdude3977]

😂 naw at the end of the day he is bad. He caused more division in black communities than a white dude ever could.

[@michealwillis]

Pac definitely had feminine mannerisms in that video. However, people change due to circumstances and experiences and Michael Jai White came off as a hater in that interview.

[@3rdGenerationCancer]

@@michealwillis Naw Michael didn't come off has a hater at all. He told the truth and that was that. There was no hate or malice just honesty. Pac was fake and he gave reasons as to why he was. Now if you can't accept that then that's on you. Just stop being delusional

[@3rdGenerationCancer]

Pac had no problems in the street. He grew up poor but wasn't a street. Pac involved himself in the streets cause he was trying to portray a certain image.

[@purpcobainsldg]

​@@3rdGenerationCancerI guess you know first hand right lmaoo

[@ddubentertainment7594]

Pac said it himself he's not a gangster but u don't have to be a gangster to be solid and that's what he was and u and him were friends u not only got a friend but a brother and Rida and that's rare to find

[@jamescompton5977]

Maybe that's why 2 Pac made when My Homies Called. U hit the nail on the head.

[@nwkla_]

Rappers like 2pac , Scarface, Nas , ice cube make timeless music When you can listen to a song that was recorded over 20 years ago and it’s still relevant now That’s what you call legend

[@jamescompton5977]

Facts u said it ...When we can go bac and listen to song in from the past and feel at home again hit the mark right there. I think this was the best Holden Court for now.

[@jamescompton5977]

It's funny how you commented on this some time ago. Just recently I saw Kevin Heart's podcast and he had Dr Dre on the show and it was whT music dose he considered timeless and he mentioned Nas,and Kendrick Lamar

[@jamescompton5977]

Ray Luv is saying what Shock G been stressing for years.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Holdin Court thanks for having this black soldier on your platform. And that young woman is beautiful 🎉🎉🎉

[@Turfbeats]

Ray Luv!!!! The Best 2Pac Story Ever!!!! Finally!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kiiarakiiara2802]

🙌🏿

[@jamescompton5977]

That rap verse he spit for 2Pac to join the group was a hit home for today's issues. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you Ray Luv for reciting 2 Pac's lyrics. Pac was much more than artist of music

[@jacobbruce3174]

The song is called panther power

[@jessemiller4970]

todays issues are yesterdays issues it hasnt changed

[@StackyTacky]

This interview important as hell, he knew EARLY pac!!!

[@sfjbro8501]

Always knew about the Marin City/ Santa Rosa connection with Pac and Ray Luv but never heard it from the first hand source. Legendary stuff!! Thank y'all sincerely for putting this in motion.

[@koDaffi]

All these years never been any Ray Luv interviews for some reason, no clue why. We saw him in Angel/Resurrection but never any interviews.

[@Pham.Projects]

Damn....all this time listening to Ray Luv music and this is the first interview ive ever seen of him. Court Dogg's platform ain't playin no games....much respects to both homies and your daughter mane...

[@jaypie8]

Same here 🤟

[@sisterfactsnotfiction6433]

BIG RESPECT RAY

[@Ren-sg4rk]

Ray luvs song called “Last Night” was my jam in the 90s

[@tobiashillsjr8420]

This before digital underground it was strictly dope

[@MichałCybulski-x7c]

That's right

[@vicdamone4084]

Went n got that Forever Hustlin album after hearing that All about my Fetti song on New Jersey Drive soundtrack.I was fkn with The Bay music already out in Okla but that was a good time to be young and finding artists new to you.Never lost a fan.

[@ehall7037]

All Facts! I remember when Tupac and Ray Luv hung out with each every day. I also remember the tension between Santa Rosa and Marin City back in the day. I am looking forward to watching the entire interview. Good stuff my brother.

[@walanderson225]

Thank you for this interview, Court. in my opinion there's not enough interviews with Ray out there, especially current ones. He's such an underrated figure from our region and I love how he articulates himself. I look forward to enjoying the other segments of this interview.

[@jaypie8]

Ray Luv if you read this comment ...I'm 49 from Whittier California...My boys and me used to listen to your music alot back in the day....Excellent interview brotha thankyou for some more insight on Pac...Seems like yesterday man ✌️

[@donnellwaters6852]

Great insight on the real PAC 💯💯💯

[@khalilshahyd9063]

I'm glad someone finally spoke to it. All these folks questioning if Tupac was "real" dont understand at all... "there's a reason to die for her, right now. There's a reason to die for you, right now." That's revolutionary...

[@wayooshi9913]

This interview gave me goose bumps. Rest in peace pac

[@Brian-rz9fu]

That's crazy I said Earthquake and it was Ray Luv. This should be dope. Salute Big Court

[@2pacthegreatestofalltime]

Dam bruh. This world would be so different if the 🐐 was still here with us. He was just to real for this planet. He was for the people even though it's a few people of our race who continue to try to kill him when he was alive and still talk negative 27 years later since he been gone. Sickening. Rest up 🐐. You truly miss bruh 💯

Ray Luv didn't just write 'trapped'. He also recorded it or part of it at some point. A demo clip is out there

[@Melly662]

No he didn’t he wrote the First and it was not for Tupac, it was just a verse and he threw it away and Tupac took out the trash read it and aks why he throwing it away and can he use it and the verse u her on the first half of Trapped RAY LUV never recorded

[@Darealny]

​@jahmelsmith4761 EXACTLY. Tell the whole truth. He threw it in the TRASH. and 2pac kept the first verse that he wrote and he changed the last 2. That's how it went. He didn't write the first verse for 2pac and 2pac kept the rest. He threw it in the TRASH 🗑 2pac took it out the trash and kept the first changed the last 2. 2pac aint alive so these guys can change shit up to get their shine
