I completely agree with him there’s nothing wrong with 2Pac repping the West Coast. I’m surprised how uneducated a lot of today’s hip-hop fans and even some artist are. It would take all of 10 minutes to look up how long 2Pac lived in New York and how long he lived in California and where else he lived. I think one of the most annoying interviews I ever heard was with 03 Greedo. That dude is so lost , To him rappers that aren’t gang members just aren’t real people. He really thought the reason everyone loved 2Pac was because we thought he was a blood??? He even said in the interview I watched that he didn’t understand how everyone just let him rep The West Coast when he lived in New York his entire life except for the last year he was alive? The dude clearly had no idea about where Tupac had spent half of his life which was California. Yes 2Pac was born in New York but it’s not like he lived there his entire life and then signed to death row and moved to California but that’s really what 03 Greedo thinks happened. 2Pac Moved to California halfway through his teenage years. By the time he started rapping he had been in California for years already at that point.

[@sinceremarks8529]

It’s documented that PAC left Ny at 13 and left Bmore at 17 so he spent more than half his life on the east and lived in NY longer than any place else so get ur facts straight.

[@bdr113080]

@@sinceremarks8529 Yeah the dude said in the video basically the same thing and that’s what I’m saying. He moved to Cali when he was 16 years old. What the fuck are you talking about? The only thing I said that was wrong was that OKthree Greedo said he lived in New York his entire life except for the last year then he moved to Cali. Moving to Cali at 16 years old when you were growing up is long enough to claim that if he wants to. He wasn’t rapping at 13 years old. Yes he moved from New York to Baltimore to northern Cali to southern Cali. I never said he didn’t. I’m saying the same thing he’s saying in the video.

He really didn’t have NY influence. His formative years, where you really start learning game was spent in Oakland. Just like Luda, Da Brat they from Chicago, they moved to ATL in their teenage years, you don’t see no Chicago influence in them they straight ATL. I was born and raised in Detroit up until 18, moved to the west coast when I was 18. I turned 40 this year, my whole adult life has been spent on the west coast, my kids was born and raised here, I became a man here, I lived here longer than I did Detroit at this point in my life.

Pac did come into his own and learn the game and how to survive on the west coast but he didn't start screaming "Westside" until after he got set-up and shot by guys he was hanging with on the East coast.

Two remarks I'd like to put out in regards to this interview "it ain't where you from it's where ya at " rakim the ghetto. As far as pac allegedly switching from crips to bloods Pac said it himself " I don't care if you blood or cuz, cause I ain't got nothing but love for thugs".

Heard Wack100 barking on this on Clubhouse the other day with Peter Gunz. He said 'How you go from calling yourself MC New York to dissing the East Coast?'

Pac and Kurupt moved to California at the age of 16, and both those rappers were from the eastcoast.

Many ppl feel like PAC hood hopped because when he first started rapping he claimed the east for the most part, even to how he dressed. After he got shot at Quads a lot of ppl from the east felt like he was blaming all of New York for that.

@@densincomprehend8879 True, I don’t think ppl was upset because he or others fcked with both. It’s because ppl from the East felt like he stopped claiming them and started claiming solely the West after he got shot. Like the whole East set him up.

I think if Pac were to come out years later, he would have claimed NYC, Baltimore, and Cali. Kinda like Drake reps Toronto and Memphis. Its stupid to stay reppin' only one city or town.

In hindsight, keeping in mind they were all young, but Suge could have fixed it then and there instead of being part of it. Suge might have said, look we'll fix this at home. But everyone was spun up. Just think if Suge or any of the big homies would have stopped it then and there.

Haters from the West bring up that Pac not from the West because he's a hard act to follow..they can't live up to the love he got from the West so they want to distance themselves from that unreachable goal..New Your dudes bring it up because they mad bout summn or they really just want to remind ppl he belong to them too

The south had love for Pac too. I think the east coast really didnt like Pac because it seemed he was universal every part of the United States love him. I hate the fact some east coast rappers are just New yorktized. If it aint New york its no love. Back in the 90s it was real bad the most of the east coast was not giving love to Pac or any other Coast

[@singingchef23]

Since when didnt NY like Pac? When he recorded I get around he was getting insane rotation, Brenda's got a baby, above the rim. What happened to him within the industry has nothing to do with the fans the only real split came when he split the coast with biggie.

Pac was always pegged to NY .that's why he was so clicked in and had tentacles to what's going on NY/east coast wise. More so than anywhere else. He was trying to be the face of east coast based talent with death row east. That's why he was given that assignment.

How would Pac being at def jam have meant he’d still be alive?

[@kuahmelallah]

I accept that Tupac was west coast as a Bay Area guy in his debut and most of his career. I also understand and like that in his Bay Area days, he was friends with people ALL OVER Hip-Hop, which is why so many of your favorites pumping around 91-95 (particularly many NY/NJ acts) have great stories from interacting with him. Makes me kinda wish he had a handler like Nas had with Illmatic that got him tracks from the monsters of the time. Imagine some DITC, Dilla, Pete, etc in addition to Easy Mo Bee and eventually Dre.
