Lord Jamar on Russ Saying BIG & 2Pac Might've Not Stayed Hot into Their 40's (Part 8)

[@enchantresse23]

Pac definitely would've ventured off into other shit. Go listen to his interviews. I think Pac would've stopped honestly.

[@lovechildtre4961]

[@candido2247]

If he was still alive I think he would’ve took Cube’s route and started acting

[@bunnyhillrock10]

LeQueen Enchantresse yeah I seen a interview where he said he was done with rap and was enjoying Acting.. And said something about not needing more rappers and definitely was worried about the system and Racism

Tupac Shakur u might be right

[@lonniehall7243]

[@donnysan]

That’s the answer

[@michaelwilliams5442]

And most of the youth don't respect him

[@Vic-rf6hs]

Michael Williams It's not that they don't "respect" him, it's the fact that the youth doesn't bother to research their own history. They simply don't think it's important and rather have fun with these new school artists.

[@youarewhatyoueat7245]

KevinSingletary Yeah, i could've seen that happening too.

[@Cuauhtemoc3]

As long as thiers problems in the world 2pac would stay relevant. All of his albums talk on racism, poverty, drugs, government every topic of life. So if your a real person who likes to hear real messages then 2pac could stay relevant today. He died over 20 yrs and his music is still relevant today. Some say his music was ahead of time.

[@theDavidChannel1]

Yea but look at guys like Public Enemy who were talking about all that stuff for years, but their music dropped off the radar by 1993, even though they still put music out very few listen to it.

[@RosvStudios]

Bro. You had a lot of cats who were talking about those things and they are not hot nowadays, the fuck are you talking about? Sometimes people who listens to this smart shit are stupid af.

[@joshuasutton983]

Makaveli Raider How did he take to another level. Rappers were making socially conscious songs before Pac came on the scene,but they fell off.

[@SlickzMadeThat]

Considering 2Pac made music that targets a larger audience he probably would not be "hot" but he would absolutely have that Jay Z position & would also be very prevalent in the industry. Pac would have diversified himself even more by now too considering he already starred in Films etc...BIG made music for the hood, Pac made music for the world.

[@luim3637]

Nonsense, pac may have been the nicer rapper, but hov is smarter than pac, jay came out with rocafella, he was a ceo from the start. pac needed deathrow to get on. Did he even own his masters when he died? Suge handled the business side while pac was the artist. Jay z is a business Mann

I believe Pac would of been on Will Smith, Denzel and Martin Lawrence's level with the acting that's just me you never know plus most of the movies he's done are hood classics Poetic Justice,Juice, and Above the Rim for example and he would of been in Menace II Society if he didn't have that problem/fight with the directors

[@THISISRISE]

NicKingPapiChulo the chances of Pac being a nobody is far fetched

[@DarkSideMaceWindu]

Pac would have never been a big movie star, he'd get in his own way of that. He'd never let himself play the kind of roles Will Smith has. He'd never play Hitch in Hitch , he'd never play Bagger Vance. Every role he'd play would end being some sort of Alonzo Harris from training day. He'd only let himself be portrayed in a certain way. He had way too much ego to allow himself to be opened up to different roles. That would have been his downfall.

He’s right. That’s always my argument to “if Big & Pac were alive, none of this mumble rap would exist”. Times change, and the audience changes with the times. Most of the hottest rappers from the 90’s barely get listened to by the majority of rap fans. No way these skinny jean and highlight wearing teenagers would be listening to Pac in 2018.

[@vlonewrld7295]

Campay’ne i could mumble rap to the rise of southern rap... if Tupac and biggie wouldn't of died, I don't think southern music would have taken over as much as it did...

Champagne Senpai Something else would’ve taken its place. Nobody has stayed that hot over 25 years in rap, as great as Pac & Big were I doubt they would’ve been the ones.

[@JstPF-93]

Eh i mean i agree with you cept fashion doesn't mean much, it's a heavy cultural influence and people may take it to different extreams but hip hop is still hip hop there's just more sub genres. Still tons of spitters though people gotta stop getting it fucked up good quality lyrical hip hop is everywhere and hasn't gone nowhere

[@Docmajor16]

Jfish I never said there wasn’t spitters or good quality rap music out there. Most of the rappers I listen to to are dropping projects now

[@RALF0691]

Since you brought up skinny jeans that got me to think about 2Pac and Gianni Versace's relationship. People don't know Versace use to give Pac free clothes and 2Pac also did a couple of Versace fashion shows in Milan, Italy in 1996. I could see 2Pac being ahead of the fashion curve if he was still alive today. You never know, but 2Pac could've been wearing skinny jeans himself if he was to make it this far. 2Pac would've probably did Kanye before Kanye, and what i mean by that is setting a new fashion standard for hip-hop, making his own clothes and marrying some famous actress.

[@waynemarshall8836]

@@tleace2736 Shyne was never a gangster, Shyne was a street kid at max that was interning and being a messenger begging for a rap deal. Shyne was discarded by his father who was a well connected politician in Belize 🇧🇿. Shynes first album as grimy as it was, was actually intellectually sound in his description of street life, in fact its one of the most gangster rap albums made in history. After Shyne did his 10 year bid he was immediately deported back to his country of birth. After a few years of releasing some awfully disappointing music he had to make a decision in his life and political aspirations seemed like the natural thing to do considering his connections and reconciliation with his father. 2pac never had any political affiliations other than regenerated divisions of the black panther party. A party so feared that the fbi put out all resources to destroy them. When people talk about 2pac being American 🇺🇸 president they are completely deluded. Even your comment that he could be president of another country?! Just stop bro, your reaching. 2pac was a good rapper with phenomenal acting ability that essentially wasted his talent….get over it

[@Jarke]

I’m 100% sure Pac would of ventured into movies, TV, and politics. He was already dabbling into that. As far as musically he wouldn’t be the hottest thing still, but he would have that Jay-Z type legacy musically.

It was all about his environment, talking about the society in which he lived in and he got a lot of hit songs plus got famous with that. Jay-z is doing the same.. the story of OJ is one of the best hit songs on his album.. he is over 40 though... Eminem. ..I am sure that if Nas still wants to rap like he used to, it will make great hits talking about his environment. So your point ain't necessary true Vlad.

Droopy eyed Mofo 2pac wasn't that business minded everyone that know he even said it. Think about it he was in movies and had dropped 4 albums but still needed Knight to bail him out.

[@twocents6951]

Droopy eyed Mofo People take for granted how savvy Big was. Signed Kim made her a star, blew up Junior Mafia, was about to sign Cam’ron who went on to make classics and was about to pop off with the Commission. I also think if Big lived Cease album would of blew up as well.

[@madisonmilan1367]

Droopy eyed Mofo Big was far from dumb. At the time of his death he had Brooklyn Mint bubbling, was working on a restaurant, and planned on opening a strip club. He also planned on signing Camron and Fabolous, and was managing Diddy. He would've been so bossed up. Based off his rhymes and being a storyteller he probably would've written screenplays. His career would've been Cube and Jay combined. Pac as well

[@Biz792]

Vlad’s voice at 7:25 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@carlosrob6494]

peace; Well Pac was an actor before he was a famous rapper. I remember seeing Pac back in 1989 with Digital Underground and during the concert there was this skinny kid on stage humping a mannequin doll rocking the Bobby Brown gumby haircut. Yo the thing is he was acting wild as hell on stage with the doll, lol..We were like yo he wild as hell. Couple of years later dude in this movie called "Juice" we were in the movies like yo that's dude from the group Digital Underground and the world met Bishop and he stayed Bishop until he died...Salute to Pac and Big

[@MrWARBUCKS24]

Carlos Rob ppl forget Pac was trained as a actor since a kid nigga defiantly would've a top actor

[@carlosrob6494]

MrWARBUCKS24 ...Yes indeed Brotha. He would have definetly been topnotch with the likes of Bill Dukes and Tommy Lee Jones and Denzel. Serious talent left us to soon

[@drumsrugged9049]

if Biggie and Pac were still alive they would still be making music they would have been in movies both would have build their brand...we're talking about them now and for the past 20 years like they've been here so yeah they would still be hot in 2018

[@mo-qw2ff]

bruh id be dissapoionted if they were rapping in their 40s ffs😂😂😂

[@talibnunnally1531]

It is possible to rap in your 40s if it is for the love of the sport and not for a rent check.

[@julezvern]

Tupac would have successfully transitioned to , political activism, acting, and ownership. BIG would have found new talent for his label (Big beat) and transitioned to being a record executive/owner.

[@SmokeOne89]

Idk about Big by Pac would've been banging still

[@ChrisMagic30]

Who knows with Tupac. The man would either be a movie star or politics. It's a real shame we never saw his potential

[@kennylafortune2107]

I agree with russ, EVERYONE fall off at some point, that’s the nature of life, even Michael Jackson had fallen off, snoop had one point was biggest star in music period and people don’t even know he put out an album last year. They probably would have branched off onto something else, but musically they both would have fallen off by 2005 the latest.

[@BrandMath-ns5yc]

kenny lafortune Michael was still hot even tho the industry shifted his albums were still able to be #1/relevant.. Snoop Dogg never made a better album than his first, he fell off on his own

[@kennylafortune2107]

Brand. Math Michael Jackson died in 2009, and 1995 with “you are not alone” was the last time he was relevant musically, for over a decade he was just a tabloid magnet

[@Gokusaiyan.]

kenny lafortune bro listen to invisble album it still fire 2000s after that he had cases wich was false 2009 he was going to retire he had to much shit from media

[@Gokusaiyan.]

kenny lafortune his songs was still popin he never lost stardum even his look changed he sold out stadium for last tour

[@kennylafortune2107]

Nilesh Kate invincible was a flop, it sold 10 mil, but that’s a brick to Michael Jackson. You rock my world was the last big new song he had, he was able to tour off his legacy, not new shit

[@elp3035]

the difference between DMX, Wayne, Pac, and Big was that Pac and Big grew with their music. Their albums didn't all sound the same. And their subject matter grew. DMX and Wayne never grew. It's all the same. Pac and Big would have catalogs similar to Nas and Jay imo

[@InternetSenation]

I hate Russ but I can't lie I do think sometimes that if Pac and Biggie was still alive they'd probably be irrelevant rappers that had their time.

[@jimjones642]

Samurai Jack Josh dogeyes champion on Facebook I breed Tri color bullies

[@RyanMatson]

Samurai Jack go cry in a fucking corner because you hate Russ for no reason.

[@b-rizzle4069]

Andray Anderson denzel currrryyy

[@chrissantos5630]

Andray Anderson i hear what you're saying, love both of them and play their music all the time. Problem is, I'm guessing you're old like me, and grew up with it. Look at what these kids are listening to today - don't think that they'd be as hot as they were in the 90s, because the "popular" shit today isn't real hip hop . They'd probably be relevant, but not hot

[@andrayanderson19]

Chris Santos That’s cuz the quality of music to pick from is shitty my G. If they were around alot the bullshit music wouldn’t have evolved from bad to worse fam. The quality of music has fallen off. The kids have no choice 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@vfujxdyhfr4786]

Tupac’s music is still relevant today and when he told the world his music would live forever he meant that look at his catalog

[@kristinacook4690]

I want Lord Jamar and the doggy....🐩🐶💋😍

[@Ms9mmBeretta]

Kristina Cook Keep Jamar. I want that pup.

[@adammccartin7000]

Did Vlad really try to compare DMX + Wack was Weezy to PAC? Blasphemy! #PAC4LIFE

[@roccoSH5]

By the title, i liked before i watched. Ill update if my mind changes lmao

[@filanike5772]

Vlad is one clueless dude. Wayne is still hot his mixtape D6 part 1 had more than a million views in 3 weeks he didn't fall off, DMX the drugs fell him off. JAY Z is still doing pretty good so I'm sure they would have

[@filanike5772]

Klark Kent Pussy that's not falling off, the "hot" artists right now can't even get to 300k views with their mixtapes nigga check datpiff and hotnewhiphop and tell me any nigga close to him. Wayne shouldn't have been in VLADs list that's all I'm saying

[@DanTejedaFit]

That "WHO?" made me laugh lol.

[@jlong908]

People would be calling Tupac fake deep if he was still rapping.

[@Cuauhtemoc3]

Jlong908 That wouldn't make sense because tupac was a real cool dude.

[@NGT4LIFE]

How was he fake?he was no faker than biggie,nas,big L or ice cube

[@jlong908]

He wasnt fake deep its just people today think straight forward conscious rappers aren't deep. They think you need to be cryptic in order to be deep.

[@Cuauhtemoc3]

Jlong908 Do u have any knowledge on 2pac's life? Be honest man.

[@jlong908]

Makaveli Raider yes and i know he wasnt fake deep. Its just fickle people today would label him that since he isnt cryptic.

[@TRivera13]

Well Biggie had said himself he wanted stop rapping by age 30. He had his record company and other ventures he wanted to focus on. Now would he have stuck to that plan, who knows?

[@41prime_]

I feel like NBA young boy the next Tupac call me what you want that boy be really singing then hood poems💯

[@510stevent]

Suacy Bossy c'mon now

[@samboy90]

Lmao Nigga trippin

[@41prime_]

M. Samatar say what you want the streets go crazy for that boy rn heavy asf ain’t seen that in years since Gucci or pac

[@ninjabrox]

That's like saying lil pump is the next Twista or 50 cent or some shit SMH you don't say this type of stuff on the internet because you will get heated up

[@41prime_]

ninja bro x at the end of the day it’s always somebody next up

[@bossup6075]

The puppy a great guest🐶

[@Bun-N-Cheese]

I don’t know who Russ is but this is facts

[@vfujxdyhfr4786]

You know Pac is the best when he has murals in countries that you can’t even pronounce or never knew existed but I do know a lot of ppl from Africa, China, Brazil and Asia loves the shit outta him

[@gwopele]

the only time Ima ever agree with russ

[@Swissco9665]

Oi M8 Russ is wrong about biggie and Pac, he's talking about what happens to players in the game period, this did not pertain to biggie it Pac, they were not just players that got a 360 deal they were game changers

[@TharsanJeyachandran]

Dope ep

[@kellsrich]

Russ speaking facts.

[@TheMan-dd6yi]

Fuck russ

[@Jossiece21]

The argument that Russ makes is nonsensical.

[@JusRed48]

Lmao every time Vlad brings up Russ the guest goes "Who?"

[@caliluv5455]

Biggie was overrated and he really rap about nothing but negative bullshit

[@iLLestTv]

Cali Luv Absolutely true

[@rocsolid2999]

Cali Luv you're listening to the wrong biggie songs if you think all he rapped about was negativity lol

[@caliluv5455]

Roc Solid I've to all his albums so miss me with the BS

[@rocsolid2999]

Cali Luv all his albums.....he only dropped 2 smh. Miss yourself with the bs lol

[@caliluv5455]

Roc Solid born again count as an album too you dumb fool

[@247Tongan]

A huge factor to why their music is still going is because their untimely deaths, who knows if they would still be popping, they would still be famous but times change. R.i.p to both kings

[@2degrees421]

This is why we need to take back "ownership" of what is ours. When you start letting others in your circle they begin to apply their own values if none is established.

[@thelastdon9000]

2 Degrees exactly

[@lanceyt4401]

Does anyone know where you can get these real peace sign garments and hats that Lord Jamar wears??

[@bornasiatic8855]

Lancey T go to his podcast yanadameen and he mentions it. I just dont remember the site he mentioned.

[@lanceyt4401]

Didn't know he's got a podcast but i'll check it out.. Thanks for the shout I appreciate it!

[@vincefromtexas]

do you mean the ones that have the dog shit stains on the right arm at 2:52??

[@tloco7777]

Just google “brand nubian merchandise” first link

[@lanceyt4401]

Thanks

[@marma2af]

At the end of the day Nooooooooooo one can never duplicate their style or flows or Star power!!RIP BIG\PAC🙏🏾

[@VonshellMorgan]

“I may not be hot forever some young dude might come and I may fade out I’m fine with that” -2Pac I paraphrased a Lil but that’s basically what he said

[@elydot8693]

The only thing keeping it real in this interview is that pupp. 💯
