When pac start rappin.. they'll never take me alive im gettin high with my 45 cocked on these suckers time to die.... strongest and hardest lyrics ever
These stories are like almost 30 years old. Pac was one hell of dude. I remember listening to all these tracks in the late 00s as a teen. Even then he was already deceased for more than a decade and its crazy to think the amount of records he had that were just so classic. His music are like a time capsule that takes us back in time. It's like you can almost feel like you were there, especially those of us who were young & kids in the 90s.
Pain is easily a top 5 2pac song for me. Majesty was apart of history helping create that beat. I always wondered why it never was on the Above The Rim soundtrack
My brother used to have that song on repeat all day, every day... he was the biggest Pac stan ever.. like if you said anything bad about Pac around him, he'd be ready to fight.. He was one of those cats. As the older brother, I would wrestle him and put him in headlocks and what not.. and to make him give up, instead of getting him to say "uncle," I would make him say "Biggie Smalls is the illest." He would never say it. Lol.. he would stay pinned until I let him go. He was that loyal to Pac. I miss the lil knucklehead.
@@KtotheG lmao your brother reminds me of me lmao my first real fight as a teenager was when someone dissed pac and said master p was a better rapper and I dove on his ass lol when I think about it now damn that was childish but back then.pac was like my big cousin talking real life to me💯
Above the rim (along with Murder was the case) is one of the best HIP HOP/R&B soundtracks of all time. Death row was unstoppable from (the chronic) 92-96 (Pac death)
@@Donnelius yessir Above the rim soundtrack Menace to society soundtrack The show soundtrack Murder was the case soundtrack New Jersey Drive soundtrack Bad Boys soundtrack Boomerang Soundtrack New Jack City soundtrack
I’ve been saying it for YEARS! Pac & Stretch was a deadly combination! We all know Pac killed his verses on Pain, but Stretch killed his verse and laid that fiya ass beat!
Years and years of that rough life Runnin' crazed and wild as a kid and growin' tough with a knife And livin' trife on the regular, buckin' out competitors See 'em fake a move and chase 'em down like the fuckin' Predator Get in trouble everyday in school, act a fool
Thug Life volume one will forever be a superior classic I was addicted to that album as a very little young kid that's when I fell in love with Tupac and never looked back
Pac admitted in an interview that Suge gave him $100,000 for the song Pain even though he told Suge he didn't want to be on Death Row yet. Pac said that's when he knew Suge was a real one, because he said Suge knew he had lots of legal issues and needed the money.
There was old interviews prior to Pac signing with Death Row, where he shouted out Suge, Snoop & Tha Dogg Pound. Pac even had an event where he invited Snoop to perform. Snoop even spoke of being friends with Pac long before him signing with Death Row & Pac being the one that introduced him to Biggie. Pac was also in the “Natural Born Killaz” music video. Suge also says he attempted to sign Pac several times before & Pac co-signed this. The both spoke of Suge paying Pac for unused songs submitted for the Above The Rim soundtrack.
@@mariejane1567 that’s bullshit. Del Ray wasn’t Pac’s manager, his lawyer or even in his inner circle at that point. If Pac wasn’t signed to Death Row then why did they own his masters & not Interscope? Why did his mother sue Death Row for royalties & not Interscope? Use your head, bruh.
@@jihadx5307 He wasn't signed to Deathrow for records. It was for management. Also, Pac owned all of his masters, Deathrow ILLEGALLY HELD THEM AFTER PAC'S DEATH. That's why Affeni sued Deathrow. She initially was suing both but Interscope settled things out of court on their end.
Pain is one of my favourites 2pac tunes. I remember buying, Above The Rim ST, just for that song and it wasnt on there. Turn out you needed the, Warren G, single to get that song. Still makes me smile when I think about the adventure to find the, pain song ❤️😎
Good point I remember buying the soundtrack on CDand that song not being on there I was told it was on the cassette tape but 93 and on was only fucking with CD
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 you’ve clearly never heard Pain if you think it’s about bringing (inflicting) pain to people in the streets. You should listen. The message applies to Pac’s death and still applies to many young cats today.. do your research bum ass clown
The PAIN track is a GEM and one of Pac hardest tracks. He has so many but that track is one of my favorite. It's timeless. Rest up 🐐. These suckas today still can't match your dominance when you was here and after you're gone. Facts. Yes Sirrr 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
The thug life volume 1 album is such a masterpiece. I still vibe to that album. The sound production is timeless. Bury me a g, still ballin, don't stop.
Classic example here is ‘How Long Will They Mourn Me?’. Pac’s whole different verse from album version is 🔥. Shows just how great he was that his back up verse is just as incredible, if not more.
@@brianpughsley8680 The pain edited version had the same lyrics kinda, the beat is a bit different n his tone is different. Just type in pain radio version
HellRazor should’ve been on Thug Life, but it was dope to hear it on R U Still Down which is 🔥 Pac album it felt more like a Pac Compilation album. You can hear all the different styles of PAC’s on that record before the Death Row days.
Pain is the most under appreciated but well beloved tracks Tupac ever created! The passion Pac spits on this: They got me mobbin' like I'm loc'ed and ready to get my SLUG ON, I load my clip and slip my motherfuckin' GLOVES ON I ain't scared to BLAST on these suckas if they test me TRUST, I got my Glock cocked, PLAYA, if they press me BUST, on motherfuckers with a PASSION Better duck, 'cause I ain't lookin' when I'm BLASTIN' 🔥🔥💯
Fam has been connecting plenty dots with this interview. Got me thinking back and I can see dam near everything and it's putting things in a better perspective. Good $h!t✊💯
It’s about time someone spoke about the real pac an not just recycling story after story 💯 can tell dude was around on the daily even when not much was happening he has the memories of average shot Pac done day to day an not just the classic shit we always hear about.
He made a good point about death row and eazy E being the competition 93 and first half of 94 for pac but suge recognized the competition and wanted pac on deathrow before he went to jail
Stretch died not long after pac got out of jail so they never had a chance to talk and sort things out. Syke tried to do a deal With suge behind pac back when pac had advised him not to so those two end up falling out.
I hear “Manute” name a lot in the Maj interviews. Wish there was picture of him. He sounds like major contributor to 2Pacs success. He’s mentioned and immortalized in the track “All eyes one me” Big Syke, Manute, Paynt,Bogart..Big Serge.. major shoutouts on the intro💯 a five double “0” Benz flaunting flashy rings “0” e.g five,flaunting and flashing 500 Benz and Rings two zeros in 500 (plural) = ring(S)(alliteration and metaphor) in one bar. these lyrics fly over most ppl heads lol
Pain, holler if ya hear me and loyal to the game are my favorites off Above the Rim soundtrack!...I loved 5 deadly venomz ( strictly... album)They made some good music! sigh 😕
Those were all good tracks I also believe pour out a little liquor was on the soundtrack I could be mistaken but I know they put together a dope video for that song like a old school fifties video!!!
@@mikegillins4992 yea! I think that was on above the Rim soundtrack. I'm sure there was a video where there dressed in suits. ( I'm sure I saw that. Imma go check now!)
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 what an exciting life you have, waiting on RU-vid for a Tupac conversation so you can put your immature & pathetic comments in the section, I'm sure mummy & daddy are so proud of there little lloyd
There was a song called The Streetz R Death Row, way before Pac signed with Suge. Pac was intellegent, "Heart of a soulja with the brain to teach the whole nation"
I personally liked 2pac better before the death row era. My favourite album was thug life and that era/ jealous got me strapped. Me against the world was great too.
Pain was on the B Side Single to Regulate, also Pain is on the new Deluxe version on The Above The Rim Soundtrack. Pain to me was the second best song because keep in mind you have the song Regulate.
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 Imagine calling Snoop a goat when he's only got 1 classic album 😂 he never put anything out better then Doggystyle and this is nearly 30 years ago now
Pac has endless stories the way you upload lots of videos of different people who knew pac. Amazing. I wish his body guard was still alive he had such good vibes
So that’s why it was so hard to find. Even getting the cassette it was difficult. I went to just about every music store on my side Houston, all the way to Galveston looking for the cassette soundtrack that had that damn song.
Hes not giving true information about Stretches feelings when Pac signed to DR… just saying.. Stretch and them had enough time and energy to run with Pac 24/7 when the kids were newborns.. Pac was one of the Godfathers right? they def had opinions on Pac getting bailed out
You know them boys was feeling so type of way. It’s easy to distinguish the difference between what’s true and what’s false in this particular interview
I appreciate these interviews 🙏🏾..sadly there will come a time when everyone that knew pac or that was around pac passed away . And there will be no one left to interview really
MAJESTY, Thank You Sir for doing this interview, YOU BLESSED My Life and YOU may never know just how much...PAC sparked MY BRAIN and experiencing this video brought CONFIRMATION...I DO HAVE A CHANCE!!!!!! Through MY SILENCE, THE HEAVENS WILL BRING "COSMIC-KARMA" on this PLANET FULL OF HATERZ...Weep & Gnash...FIRE
@@outlawlife8894 it's well documented how pac felt initially about bones back in 94 (there is a clip on RU-vid where pac slighted them when he is with his crew in Harlem) what you referring to is when pac join death row!!!
Hate that we lost so many greats. Wish I could see all these missed collaborations… “Kendrick Lamar ft 2Pac and Eazy-E”, “J Cole Notorious BIG & Big Pun”…. These men (and a few women like Magnolia Shorty) should be here reaping the rewards with the younger generation.
The beat on the beat track is second to none. It's emotive, thought provoking and Pac flows elegantly. "My city's full of gang bangers and drive-byes, why do we die at an early age? He was so young but still a victim of the 12 gauge my memories of a corpse, mind full of sick thoughts, and I ain't goin' back to court, so fu#k what you thought". Fascinating the Thug Life saying was to be used as a code to bring community-based change. Mutulu Shakur and other Black Panthers were schooling Pac hence he had '50 Nig#az' tattoo which represented the unification of blacks, brown, Armenians etc, "the lost tribe" across then 50 states of America.
Pac was the hottest rapper back then everybody wanted to sign him Master P even wanted to sign Pac to No Limit this was when No Limit was still based out in the Bay Area
At that time Tupac would have been out of No Limits price range. Granted, they had that major deal with priority, but they were still underground, Tupac was doing big budget movies. Now in 1997, yeah Master P had that type of paper. It would have not been a good fit, with no limits quantity over quality type of product.
I read a book a while back that talked about the Death Row and Interscope offices being across from each other and Tupac not wanting to go to Death Row though the labels were pushing it.
My pops gave me the above the rim single for my birthday. He thought the cover looked cool. Little did he know he made me a hiphopper LOL. Pain was my favourite track on that single.
What if during this time in the 90s,Biggie Smalls was sign too Death Row and Tupac was sign too Bad Boy🤔...just think about the stories we would be hearing today
They both would still be alive remember suge was kool with diddy up until 95 once he started to visit pac in jail his hold demeanor changed toward diddy
I can see the pain in this brother eyes. He lost his brother and lost pac. Pac was mad at them over some bullshit that they really had no parts in it seems like it was just a big misunderstanding..
You don't know if Stretch had something to do with it or not and if you hear Pac go into detail why he felt he did, you would see why Pac felt that way. Plus Stretch was talking bs and spreading lies after the shooting. Stretch verse on the song him and Pac did a few hours before Quad is suspect as fuck too.
Tupac downfall was hanging out with the devil aka Simon/Suge Knight.Suge downfall was his own ego.Had Suge not let his ego get him and would’ve just stay out of the limelight just doing the business work and not let the hood run Death Row Dre would’ve still been there and Death Row would’ve still been around and today would’ve been bigger than any hip hop record label including Bad Boy and Def Jam.
@@almightytre3730 Actually not True about Dre Dre didn’t not bring in them Hood guys (the bloods that was only there starting fights and that was causing problems) Suge brought them in. Dre was more focus on making music Suge was focused on kicking the hood in and making Death Row like a Drug Empire. Had 2Pac not been around Suge Knights Street drama he could’ve still been living today. 💯
putting all the blame on Suge and acting like Pac couldn't make his own decisions is insulting his intelligence the bottom line is they liked and respected each other a lot but putting them together caused a lotta shit to go haywire Pac was going through a lot and shit got to his head
@@datniggaeazye.5968 And like I said before it was Suge that brought the gang members (not the rappers but just the ones hanging around starting problems) in death row that was causing problems not Dre. Now Suge downfall was trying to bring that hood/street mentality in death row (he couldn’t leave the hood alone). And now look at him he might spend the rest of his life behind bars.
he went to that demon coz of traitor devils;) who were scared to fuk with some real azz Gs line Jimmy ;) only Pac had a heart when the shit went down, everybody’s gangsta till the fire starts .. and most decent ppl are lot stronger in a lotta situations than actual Gs like Stretch .. he betrayed Pac
i don’t like this interview,full if lies and only side of his story c’mon man .. this man is in his darkest fantasies lol .. if u had any heart u should have fought with Henchman, not with Suge .. man it’s circus, everybody’s talking now when everybody’s in jail or buried ..
@@ShawnMega not personally, but i have enough material now and street knowledge to understand that they were scaredy af of Jimmy .. Jimmy Henchmen who i hate to the fullest, but .. i wish they could have stepped, but it’s a shame .. and he’s trying to cover some bad shit here.. now i fully understand that Pac was right 💯
@@ShawnMega and if they had shot someone earlier it don’t mean shit and u know that , i suppose .. being in the streets isn’t choosing your enemies if you are really dedicated to being a G .. it has its own period up to 30-35 and u start to calm down .. anyway, i’m sure he even hates Pac i swear
you could hear they sound of work. they is 90s foreal i love there production they need to hit the lab hard,the ones who still alive peace to live squad 4eva
