Tupac - April 19th 1996 KMEL Full Interview

Not since the infamous battle between Casual and Saafir has the entire Bay Area been so intensly locked onto the Bay Area's number one radio station-KMEL. Last night [Friday April 19th 1996] was an exceptional night as the Bay got treated to an interview of a lifetime. KMEL's Westside Radio program played host to Tupac Shakur in what may be best described as a home coming interview.

[@mikegillins4992]

he did so much in such a short span and his work ethic was second to none...rappers dont get into the studio most of the time unless they recording for a album but pac was a studio junkie and his ability to record songs at such a rapid pace is so much more appreciated twenty years later than when he was alive

His career from 91-96...6 albums im including the thug life album...6 movies and I havent even touch on all the unreleased tracks and poems...that type of work ethic is unthinkable and even more astonishing when you consider all the time he lost from being locked up until he got bailed out...unbelievable!!!!!!

It is unbelievable, and the sad thing is that he died so young. And it amazes me how mature he use to be at the age of 25 when guys that age now they don't know where they north is.

[@tamimh]

Bro what he wanted was people to be aware of thug life. Ppl sticking together instead of fighting with each other over petty things. Whether u are black, white, latino, Asian, didn't matter. We all have to help each other no matter our strengths or weaknesses. And not using these weakness as an advantage and extort others. Pac was really about bringing ppl together and having each others back. A rich person having 36 million dollars in his account while there are poor people in the streets starving made no sense to him (as he said In the video). Tupac says he was pissed at biggie because he was yelling MAFIA instead of Thug Life like tupac asked him too.

BEST, DEEPEST, REALIST, BIG HOMIE, BIG BROTHER, RAPOLUTIONARY EVER, OWN LANE, ONLY 1 PAC, RIP BIG BRO

[@raycortes8175]

miss u Pac. u were a big part of my childhood

[@Tennessee1981]

I remeber downloading this whole interview from LimeWire and Napster in the 90s and burning to a CD, and I still have it!! It was definitely edited, to the point where Pac wasnt letting Sway even speak, but this is a fair and thoroughl interview. 💯💯💯💯

[@TheHumanBallsack]

Hell yeah Napster, Limewire OWNED the 90s

[@kelvinmetcalf3059]

This has to be the most insightful interview I have heard about the W vs. E issues of the era. Now, I can see why there was beef between the coasts. I know why Puffy is being quite. If it was me, when the Bad Boy tour comes to the Bay, I would boycott it based on what I heard from Tupac.

[@derekellis4293]

It’s scary how so far ahead is his time he was

[@BarbMarley]

He made my heart so heavy when he told the timeline of all the government attempts on his life 😔

NOT UNCUT

[@D.Redd82]

Compared to the same interview they 1st released back in the day I would say it is

[@AllHailNumo]

​@@D.Redd82 where can we find that one?

[@soulsis5533]

Still here in 2023. PAC was a legend. May he continue to rest peace.

[@Deshawn144]

Calling for dialogue, I’m gathering attention for dialogue which is what you do in a struggle for power ~ Tupac

[@rem8584]

Wow this interview just gave out so much important information I had not known about this is crazy rip to the goat PAC!!!

[@latashaaustin6563]

2 pac is still alive

[@rolandej6047]

I wish they was a video of this interview..I only picture his actions n body language when he speaks ...Tupac 4 ever

[@amankwaalydia7140]

That's exactly what am doing right here. It was hard for me to express but you help me to do so.

[@TheHumanBallsack]

I mean.... there must be video of it somewhere?!

[@mancman4157]

2PAC Was always deep, 25 and was a fucking general and I remember buying this on cd, miss this man, he was and still is a legend and fitted in with the best and worse of them miss you pac, rip

[@newryedomwonyi5688]

2pac is the most well articulated and well spoke rapper ever. Like he’s just speaking fluently without saying you know what I mean over 20x and uummm 30x before saying one thing. He answers every question fluently and everyday he says still made sense

[@chico5817]

Dude was talking about his plans for 1997 and 5 years from now. He wanted to live.

[@domoniquerenee]

Evester Edd yep. he said "I'm gonna die, I just wanna die without pain. I don't wanna die, but if I gotta go, I wanna go without pain."

[@tamimh]

Yes! He was screaming thug life for a reason. But nobody got the message, thug life is about ppl sticking together no matter ur race. Because government is trying to control us. He also mentions that Latin kings also understood what he wanted in prison. And these same Latin OGs just gave tupac stuff in prison. Tupac mentions this in the video saying 'the Latin kings were showing me love!'

[@TheHumanBallsack]

He told Rob Marriott just two weeks before his murder that he promised that by the next presidential election in 2000, he would be sitting opposite the other candidates leading a political party that united all disenfranchised peoples from Blacks to Native Americans to Koreans.

[@5thdawg917]

Wooow! 😲 Damn. This has to be best interview ever. Everything about the first shootings and biggie is exposed here. Everything makes sense.

[@hannahmareesmith5377]

Makaveli tha Don much love and respect homie ;)

[@tooakki]

This is one hell of a interview.

[@jamesgarolds8922]

It's just amazing to me how much Pac accomplished from 91 to 96 and that's with doing 8 months in prison It's just crazy forreal 🐐🐐

[@bshelton7883]

Tupac was angelic. Such a beautiful soul..gone way to early . #legendsneverdie#TUPAC4EVER

[@osongomukanga]

This is one of my favorite interviews of PAC! My brother is so real, I love it!

[@eyeznevalie1562]

The art of war!! Pac didn’t go on drills, he attacked their currency, dominated the rap game, and strategically plotted ways to make a mf wanna come face him!!!!! King shyyyt

[@crownedone1921]

Damn sway kept it gansta with pac situation. He didn't put the unheard conversation out until the time was right

[@c.calliecoleman1531]

[@nzgkilla]

Sway a real one you can tell

[@DREmcquarn]

Him saying the whole thing is a game he laugh at sometimes, cry at sometimes, but he knows they’re gonna shut the game down was so deep he was good at subliminally letting everyone know he knows the government/illuminati was after him.

[@madman9040]

Facts 💯

[@madman9040]

Yep you're right and that is why the Rap Game is shut down bcuz the Illuminati wanted 2Pac aka MAKAVELI out of the way bcuz 2Pac aka MAKAVELI was Exposing the Evil that runs the industry as a whole.

[@jordanpadover7849]

I wrote that down… it was profound

[@emmiesblessed8800]

Pac my hussssband ❤️” literally had the world against him and on his shoulder!! Pac was loved in the South and by me! Just for record! It’s funny how they love you when you gone!!

[@rf92iredfence87]

Pac died on my 24th Birthday. My sun is 25 yrs old now. Make me realize he was just a baby. Rip “Makaveli The Don” 9/13

[@apprentessjgooden2263]

That's a fool right there, I was 20 in 1996, all the real Pac fans was going along on that ride with him, those were so crazy times in music, then he got out and it went up, crazy thing, as huge as 2pac was, 1996 had so much classic music out, The Dayton Family, Do Or Die, Nas, The Fugees, U.G.K, Silkk The Shocker, T.R.U, so on and so forth, but God bless you and your family, you're blessed bro ✌🏾
