the follow up to the chronic was supposed to have california love as a single, and dre tracks over the beats that became thy kingdome come. that would have been insanely successfull but because of death row politics, suge gave most of the finished music to 2pac. thy kingdome come had some real bangers that would have been hip-hop classics if they came out in the context of beeing a dre single in 1995-1996 natural born killers would have been the single for a horrorcore album with ice cube that was in the making. the beats were later used by doc on helter skelter

I believe he has a point. Hanging around Suge and the Pirus, Pac felt untouchable. And even though his entourage should have stopped him from rushing to Orlando Anderson in the mgm casino, Pac should have known that it’s not his business in the first place...
@Yousef.Al-Jazi3 жыл бұрын
@@almightytre3730 I’m sure they could’ve stopped him as they saw him rushing towards Orlando cause I watched that footage and it seems as though Pac and his entourage were very close. It’s not like he deals with Orlando himself and his crew is far away or sth. They were all very close to each other and especially the big homies could’ve stopped Pac and told him that they’re going to take care of Orlando.
@Yousef.Al-Jazi3 жыл бұрын
@@almightytre3730 Yeah, I agree he didn’t tell everyone but he had his bodyguard there with him (Frank Alexander). And as a bodyguard, u have to prevent him from getting into trouble with anyone, that’s literally ur job. Plus, after Trevon Lane pointed at Orlando and told everyone that he’s the guy who attempted to steal his chain like 2 weeks ago or sth., at least Suge who was very close to Pac (physically), should’ve held Pac back. I mean come one bro, everyone knew that Pac was gonna rush Orlando. Trevon Lane told them about him and Pac starts going fast towards Orlando, u just have to put one and one together: Of course Pac was gonna start some problems. We really don’t have to argue about that
