Young Noble on Being Last Outlawz Member, Recording Makaveli in 3 Days

Young Noble and E.D.I. Mean of The Outlawz sat down for an interview with VladTV, where Noble explained how he was chosen as the last member of the group. He begins by revealing that his childhood friends Yaki Kadafi and Hussein Fatal took 2Pac's limo from California and drove all the way to New Jersey to pick him up, which slightly angered 2Pac when he found out.
Moving along, Young Noble shared details about working with 2Pac, including Pac convincing him to drop out of school to pursue a rap career and 2Pac ramping up Noble's solo career right before his death. Listen to more of what Young Noble had to say, including why he wasn't into "Hail Mary" at first, hit the above clip.

[@Straight-Outta-Nottingham]

RIP Kadafi, died at 19 with so much potential

[@lifemomentsca]

earnshaw1991 Dang I didn't know he was that young but it does make sense because PAC was 25 when he passed away so sad thoe the whole thing.

[@philly442]

i still think about the young picture of kadafi and Pac on the porch sad picture, to much potentional

[@mikejeff7154]

earnshaw1991 yea that was some bullshit smh

[@ryanseacrest8700]

He died with most Pac secrets!

[@paidphatz1460]

Ryan Seacrest how could he have died with pac when he was killed in projects in New jersey and pac died in vegas? And he died after pac🤔

[@mexia23]

[@thegamini6499]

The Don Killuminati, The 7 dayz Theory : Makaveli🙏🙏

[@oglike95airmax]

nah the goat is hands down pun rip you're obviously not educated enough to make such a statement

[@damnnoobie6038]

oglike95airmax no. he was a dope lyricist but no g.o.a.t. r u representing for your race?

[@oglike95airmax]

no but if you want to play the race card then big L

[@thegamini6499]

oglike95airmax U can't mention big L when he just had an album he would be big and represent the race in a very good way but he didn't have enough time to do it so he can't be in the argument, R.I.P Big L tho🙏

[@Tana_frmgates]

When people say that Pac still alive it's blasphemy one of his Realist quotes. "I'll rather die like a man, than live like a coward". He didn't wanna be forgotten RIP Afeni Shakur RIP Yak Kadafi

He won't be the last neither :)

[@stethompson1403]

he still is ahead of time

[@Jaboom-mp9hg]

So was stack bundles

[@GalanDestroyer]

Noble was always one of my favorite Outlawz. Dude's spit game is strong, especially with the east coast-styled lyricism. Salute!

[@youngruggedandraw6864]

dude is not even close to east coast lyricism lol

[@islandhopper7011]

I read a article in vibe or somethin where they said when Tupac laid his verse on hail mary, it felt like a eulogy. He had his henny and a blunt wit his eyes closed and he was just vibing off it hard. Dude went back to the producer like, "son you hear what dat boy done laced your track wit?" I can only imagine being in that studio at that moment. Sick shit..

[@buttahwrld17]

kadafi and fatal was the best lyricist

[@cornellcolemanblackcezar]

Mark Mcdonald what about Napoleon.....he spit that fire....

[@hnic9181]

Yea, Fatal was to me the most lyrical then followed by Noble. Check out Fatal's verse on the Still I Rise (Og) dude was a beast.

[@nujerz_]

lol Nob fell of hard but he used to spit some dope shit! But Fatal was easily the most lyrical rapper out of thr group and had the best flow.. dude was a monster

[@Diabeticliving330]

and Napolean.

[@hnic9181]

Yea I gotta agree with you there...the Noble from All Out (og) and Bomb First is completely different than the one we hear years later lol

[@bobbymarsh1]

despite what most will say I think Pac would be happy with these brothers keeping his name alive and speaking generously and honestly about him

[@xxshaquan914xx]

2pac did songs 5 to 10 min his worth ethic was crazy which I wish they showed in the movie

[@lion-orichie398]

Doesn't anybody else agree That Prodigy was an extremely intelligent person ?

[@lion-orichie398]

Salsa, Gucci Mane has one of the longest sausages in the game... However, Prodigy's hot-dog was about a whole inch wider... Check out that freestyle where Nas spits the classic rhyme : " Hey, yo... Niggaz know that all my Dunns up in QB hold it down, with the Thickest weiners... We smack punks, with our elephant trunks 🐘 "... That nigga dropped jewels & knowledge, right there... 💯

[@josephmills619]

Check out prodigy's halegian dialectic mixtape

[@kingblessage4010]

kastro needs to come back outlawz ain't been the same since fatal died 💯

[@miket4234]

its a good thing kastro not. these 2 fake outlawz been leechin of pac’s name forever and he dont wana be a part of that. even mopreme aint leechin off pac’s name like that

[@stasserfes6734]

RIP to fatal and kadafi...legendary group

[@DiverseLA]

Can somebody explain why the producer would have men in their 40's play themselves in their 20's? I know "Black don't crack" but damn...

[@robama22]

DiverseLA fuck is you talking about

[@KrayzieMurda]

Skip Payless He talking about the 2Pac movie..

[@DiverseLA]

+Skip Payless -- The Tupac movie... Noble & EDI Mean were in the movie playing as themselves 20 years ago. But they're in their 40's now and put on a little weight.

Hail Mary is my 2yr olds favourite song, he dosent understand the words but that beat gets to him everytime then I'll come rap it and he'll be dancing like pac, trippy thing is i was 25 when we had him

[@imagegotbeats]

LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!! Operating Under Thug Lawz as Warriors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUTLAW 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBowlingAddict]

They right, Hail Mary was a dumb video. For what I consider to be the best song in rap history, video was a just dumb.

[@dopethings9328]

This group reminds me of being in the army, most of them dead and these are like the two left

[@troywhite5396]

I think hail Mary is the best song on the 7 day theory album

Against all odds... Track of the album.

[@damienrubensson1883]

Young Nobel got lucky af to even be part of The Outlawz. He probably fronted Yaki a few sacks and he now considered him family lol. Oh well, it is what it is..

Dafi had enough skill to ditch the rest of the outlaws and ride strictly with Tupac. That's my opinion.

[@lescw3293]

Edi I mean is the MAN. LOVE Young Noble Great stories. You see how they referenced Mase.

[@SparksMentalz]

Noble's story of how he joined Outlaw reminds me of Sucker MCs when Run said "they put me in the car, the Cadillac, the chauffeur drove off and we never came back", lol!

[@gtubgle]

this interview has more deepness to tupac than the movie.

[@anthonygraves9039]

That bomb first tho 🔥 🔥 one of hardest if not hardest intro in rap history r.i.p makaveli

[@youngcity4241]

MAKAVELI MY FAV PAC ALBUM !

[@MaskedAvenger13]

Some confusion with their story, Makaveli was meant to be a diss album and just mixtape to give to DJs. A lot of the singles from it were not meant for it originally. You can even find the original track listing and back cover to it if you google it. The back of it had a drawing of BIG and Dr Dre.

[@jplatt83]

Damn good interview!

[@mumbus272]

Vlad is star struck...love Vlad...I feel this

[@TheGlobalMisfit]

The movie was decent but bogus for never introducing Outlawz by name

[@VictorWaag]
