I never understood some people's obsession with trying to make 2pac seem soft once he died.I feel like in some weird way it makes them feel better about themselves.
Because most of The Selfsame Busters that have had issues with Pac in The Flesh have been too cowardly to address Pac in The Flesh; yet as soon as Pac transitions, these selfsame Busters then feel safe to walk around with a "S" on their Chest, individually.
@@thenashfamily4418 exactly Napoleon Acknowledged Pac had his “ faults”(I don’t know if I’m using the right word) but he Made it very clear he was young and people do crazy things and that he was provoked half of the time and that Pac and himself and everyone isn’t perfect we all make mistakes and you grow from them
@@dn30001 did you even see me mention shock g name🤔 NO... He's not even included that was pacs man. You know just as well as I know. 90% of the people that speaks on pac talk down. Napoleon doesn't do it either. So don't try and add shit to my comment. I'm commenting on him because it's his interview 🤡 FOH
ALOT of people need to hear this. They think 2pac was acting his whole rap career and got himself killed. Pac was a soldier through and through, fearless of any man or situation. He was the one "Ready to Die".
@@jrewing8709 you must not be from the ghetto at all… you don’t turn being real off and on.. and being a real man is about standing for YOUR OWN principals no matter what anyone else thinks. You the type that think if you bow down to people who disrespect you especially if they in a gang you won’t get killed huh? 🤣😂🤣
I think pac being bullied when he was living in the jungle Marin city and getting beat up the pigs in Oakland is what really made him toughen himself up
2pac definitely did not hang out with this guy, during or after "Juice"!! Jermaine Hopkins, What happened to your career, bruh?! He ain't had a hit since Babe Ruth! lol!! "Lean On Me" came out over 30+ years ago!! "Juice" is a classic! Because of 2pac's acting, not because of him! "Phat Beach" was a low-budget hood movie joke! And " How to be a Player" came out 20 years ago! Any, and every movie he was ever cast in was a stero-type, type cast version of him! No Oscar caliber performances on his short resume!!

Now he's talking about how he knew 2pac's life story??!! Just to stay relevant??!! GTFOH!!! Straight garbage, ghetto interview!! File this hot mess under "D", for dumpster!!!
@@insearchof5719 I believe if he would have lived he would have gotten back to what he set out to do. One nation, and our own political party. Imagine that Shit happening.
It's footage online of Tupac going off on bootleggers and New York and flipping over there table because they was selling his music bootleg... Pac was always a wild dude before he got famous or joined Death Row.
That was AFTER juice you dumb fuck. What about when he was in Maryland in one of the best schools with jada pinkett in an interview about being a gentleman? STOP THE CAP! U don’t know shit. He was an excellent student never ran the streets.
@@MrSodaBelly Tupac was born in Harlem and raised in poverty. He didn’t have to “run the streets” when you’re from the streets. Just because he attended a “decent” school means nothing

If you go back and watch that old Thug Immortal documentary, his old friends from Marin said PAC was doing wild stuff way back then. And that was before his success
This interview is already classic and it's only the second part. I hope this momentum continues. Surgery is in session. Art is a genius... He's letting him talk, talk, editing on point. 🔥🔥🔥
Too bad Jermaine Hopkins wasn't on that same workout plan!! LMAO!! 2pac definitely did not hang out with this guy, during or after "Juice"!! Jermaine Hopkins, What happened to your career, bruh?!

@@cpman1987 I hope you got paid for taking the precious time to create this long senseless rant underneath someone else's comment on a "ghetto RU-vid" interview. You probably watched every Jermaine Hopkins video that was posted, you seem to know so much about this "irrelevant" person that you're up ranting about this early in the morning.
He didn't answer da question he was not talking about wat he was talking bout and he didn't know pac before da movie yall really want pac to be bad so bad we all know Jada been knowing pac even she said it
Pac loved his people and he had a warrior spirit. The problem is too many of us don’t want to accept Pac was human and he made errors. He was not a gangster. He was a revolutionary who lost his way.
@@GoGetYourShinebox it was too emotional? Definitely not. People took the piss and he kept the same energy, he was frustrated and annoyed and upset and RIGHTFULLY SO. People wanna act like it was excessive, the man was nearly KILLED, FALSELY ACCUSED OF R*PE, ASSASSINATED IN THE MEDIA etc etc. Huh?😂 "too emotional" bro🙆🏽♀️
@@Laura-sg6ss Tupac himself admitted he needed to calm down. He said it during an interview while filming Gridlock’d. His lack of emotional control is what killed him, running up on Baby Lane like that. Of course he had been through a lot, never said he hadn’t. But he was reckless, almost on a death mission

FOR ANYONE THAT SAYS ANYTHING NEGATIVE ABOYT TUPAC WHO HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 25 YEARS AND THERE STILL DOING INTERVIEWS ABOUT HIM ??? NOBODY ELSE ONLY TUPAC MAKAVELI SHAKUR POINT BLANK PERIOD TUPAC IS THE GOAT #1 #2 #3 NOBODY COMES CLOSE
People have to understand 2pac was only 25 when he died and had done been beat up by police, setup robbed shot 5 times, and falsely accused of rape then thrown in prison, he was hurt and young as hell, he wasn’t necessarily a kid but he was 21-24 (only a few years away from teenage years) going thru all that on top of being a “Celebrity” and being in the limelight and that’s just only what the public knows, I believe everything pac did and said was genuinely from the heart and that’s how he was really feeling💯 unless you actually knew 2pac personally, u can’t really speak on him negatively, I was born a few years after he died but growing up in the hood I knew he had to be real special becuz he was still popular as hell still getting talked about music still getting played and that was a whole decade after he passed! Even now to see new RU-vid videos telling stories about him 25 years later! Rip pac🐐🙏🏾
EXACTLY THIS! He went through so much... and they're acting as if that won't affect you?? Like what?? 😂😂 and EVEN BEFORE THE FAME, growing up how he grew up. It is all accumulating - there's no true freedom or escape except through art and him doing the arts with film and music, his escape, people wanted to shoot him down in all the ways you listed. It is crazy how people CONVENIENTLY jump, skip and hop over that to get to their bs logic. WHAT DID PPL EXPECT? 💀 like what did they THINK was gonna happen? People don't care, they just wanna talk. Boring boring boring😴
@@Laura-sg6ss & don’t forget that his momma got his life started with moving around tha country due to her being a black panther. Correct me if I’m wrong?
@@Mayo2014 nahh I just think he's laughing at the fact that Jermaine is overweight and got caught with pounds... Hell it's the same reason I laughed after reading the comment...lol

And there you have it. Now that people can't use this narrative of Pac trying to Bishop (keep in mind they were nothing alike which made no sense for the comparison to be made in the first place) they'll look for something else to discredit him on.
@@jtg8156 That's fine. I'm more reluctant to believe someone who was actually there then someone who wasn't and only knew the man through his music and interviews. That's my opinion and no one will move me from it.

This is the best in most honest interview by that anyone has done on Tupac, he didn't let anybody change the narrative , he gave Tupac so much respect..
The Art of Dialogue is the perfect of example how to give an interview. He ask his questions and listen to the answers until the guest is finished. That’s real 💯
Depends on the guest some are boring and their story’s jump around. I don’t mind the interviewer interacting leading the interview in a certain direction. It’s actually more entertaining that way. Like this guy interviewing is mad boring.
As Treach said "Pac wasn't no gangsta, Pac was a soldier". He most likely would've grown to be a very wise old man if he hadn't associated himself with bangin.

That pit bull analogy was on point. A lot of people point to that footage of Pac as a child in that art school, he spoke with that soft almost effeminate tone and use that as evidence Pac was fake w/that tough demeanor he had later in life. I see it as a kid with a kind soul, that over time like Jermaine said went through $hit that shaped him into the dude we all know now. It's simple.
Listening to him remind me so much of the 90's. Brothers spoke like this.. With CONVICTION.. Brothers instilled Courage into each other just off of a conversation.
Now that’s a true friend, the term “friend” or “homie” is so watered down, very few real friends out here. Like the Mexican saying goes “in this world the only friends I have is my balls and the money in my wallet” but there’s real ones out there like this brotha. He a real one like pac
Everything "friend" related is watered down these days, even family... People are just associates nowadays. Either a person is genuine and solid or they're not. That's how it is fr
@@shawnanthony2887 no spice 1 said him and Pac used to drive around the worst hoods and yell shit to people and throw liquor bottles at people then they would run after the car and shoot at Pac and spice you and me both know not many people got the balls to do that lol 🤣 Pac was wild before death row that's facts
Another real dude dropping the realness, telling it how it is and repping the real on pac to the fullest, pac still has many loyal friends who will back him 100% ✊🏽
How do you be getting these people outta character like that man? 😂 i seen a few of Jermaine Hopkins interviews and he never had this energy and acted like this.. these people be coming on your platform and wilding out man 😂
Vlad and those interviews are predominantly the reason that silly ass rumor got spread. From ppl who aren’t in naan picture with pac. You could tell pac was raw from his interviews and his real life encounters. You’d have to be Denzel to play a role that well
Michael Jai White needs to hear this interview! Pac “wasn’t acting” after Juice. Pac was always Pac! Unfortunately being Pac, and being the warrior he was, it caused his demise 🙏🏽. Ppl don’t know Pac reached for his two .45s seconds before he was killed 💯. RIP GOAT Pac
Pac wasn’t a nut you idiot…he just didn’t take no shit…he grew up poor and on the streets and was abused by police, he was framed and sent to jail and shot up…he was basically a pitbull in defense mode…he wasn’t just some asshole…
These cowards nowadays try to disrespect Tupac's image and name because most of these kids were raised up by parents that were born in the 80s or late 70s and they didn't teach them anything other than rap music and a bunch of garbage because the late seventies eighties babies were brainwashed and lost. Tupac Shakur was the realest strongest black leader since Malcolm X and he was on his way up and now they are trying to destroy his name and His image so that others won't try to follow his lead
He's killing everybody McDonald's food too! Jermaine Hopkins, What happened to your career?! He ain't had a hit since Babe Ruth! lol!! Phat Beach was a low-budget hood movie joke! He's higher than that probe NASA sent to Mars 10 years ago! And he broker than Dame Da$h's VCR!!
Ive been saying that for a few years now... its in you not all but most have this quality about themselves.. GEM in the GEMINI'S... Without a doubt.. 6/18
Exactly, it was in Pac he brought Bishop to life not the other way around. Every single person who says the role of Bishop changed Tupac are clearly jealous and envious PERIOD!!!
As a friend of Tupac, I'd just like to say don't confuse being a soldier with being a gangster. Know the difference. Pac was a soldier from the start. Its been a lot of years since he's been gone. Some that see that 'soldier will be able to pass that on. Some who see a gangster, will pass that on. Lets do Pac some justice. In current times, that soldier would understand the life of "DRILL", remember what he said about YUMMIE (yeah, Chicago BD before lil durk and Keef) and try to put something constructive with it. That gangster would be saying "yeah I killed you homie last night and I'm coming to get you next unless you get me first, I'm smoking on yo mama right now", there's a difference. that SOLDIER wanted young black males to be represented so they can LIVE!
Only thing different about Tupac before and at Death Row was HE was More pissD The FK off for getting shot in the head twice taken 3 other bullets getting out of prison and finding out the shooters were close to his friends
U gotta remember, Pac went 2 a performing arts school & did plays ranging from Shakespeare 2 Raisin In The Sun, which helped him play & craft the role of Bishop.
When I worked at cheesecake factory i was this brothers waiter one night. I let him enjoy his meal and then told him how much I loved all his roles.... He was very humbled by it and u can tell he genuinely appreciated the love and Suttle acknowledgement

He just did a some low budget movie : "Asbury Park" in 2021. Probably straight to DVD!! 30 years in the movies and all you have is $10K??!! $MH!! He definitely didn't make $20 Million for that role!

@@desertdetroiter428 if someone was to shoot u right now, does that mean ur not a peaceful person. A lot of children get shot, including babies. Does that mean they’re not peaceful?
Still hard to believe I was alive when PAC was alive even thou I was only 2yrs old when he died 😭 PAC don’t even seem real with everything he accomplished and went threw in 25 years 💯
That's so beautiful and amazing how Pac was telling him nothing but inspiring and encouraging strong words, while working together , it would give me confidence and comfort to do my part as well , wow
Well , that attitude is exactly what got him kill . I don't believe a guy with that unstable personality was going to be the one that the black community should take as an example . He was trouble Al the time .
I think Tupac was someone who ultimately wasn't happy.He had fame but that was it.Tupac didn't have the family life he wanted growing up,no relationship with his father,no trust in women, record company cheating him,He was still facing jail time.All he had was music, constant thoughts that he could possibly die Young in his head.
