Pac was a workaholic man. He had 5 years of fame, spent one of those in prison and still left behind a catalogue of music and movies that's hard to match to this day. Truly remarkable. I always found it kinda creepy how he always talked about death and how he is willing to accept it and how he sees visions of him dying. As if he was in a hurry to get everything off his chest.
Don't get me wrong Pac's Catolog is deep bit Pac's 1st and 2nd albums were the best to me. With that everytime he got out of jail or that whole crew had music stacked up they had to give it to him so...... imagine putting in the work and then being told you has to give your best shit to someone else. Fatcs
I continue to respect the fact that Napoleon wants it to be known that he's religious now and his faith/belief no longer matches with the lyrical content of "Hit 'Em Up". Got to respect that.
@@insearchof5719 that don’t mean shit ! Dre was part of it too ! He dissed biggie and other New Yorkers ! Snoop dogg too … they were part of it ! Pac wasn’t on some east vs west he just had some problems with bad boys “big & puffy”
See I knew it was a reason why Pac was getting on everybody. A lot of people were trying to play innocent, and make it seem like Pac was loud and starting up shyt.
S/O to Nepoleon for these insightful and respectful interviews. And Faith Evans is messy. She let 2pac smash and told Biggie he made a song. Then that's how Biggie knew and made it with the same beat and that's why he did another take on it lol. Faith is straight clown for real. 2pac " they say money bring bitches, but bitches bring lies" All Eyez On Me track.
@@sp-404hypnodiqsoundjunkie8 U call where Pac ended up maturation? I think he regressed as a person. If he stayed along the positive route he would still be alive
@@Synchronite Believe that if you want to. You’ve just earned yourself a report for child abuse. The proper authorities will deal with you soon. Consider yourself blocked, weirdo.
It’s life bro literally every rapper from pac to biggie to big pun big L or any rappers that died early in they’re career is always gonna still be relevant because people & media will always push the what if they did not pass away so early on imagine all the hit records but ofc pac and biggies names will always be talked about because they’re was so much negative energy and publicity before & after they’re deaths if I’m not mistaken they were the first mainstream rappers to ever be shot & killed so ofc they names will live on because of their young demise and obviously being wonderful artist just like pop smoke give it 18 more years I bet pop smokes name will still be talked about because he was murdered at the hype of his career just like pac & biggie
Pac must’ve known Dre was going to do what he’s been doing for years… walk in the studio, twist a few knobs on the mixing board, do a golf swing and take credit for everything
@@christophermcgrady6962 just because you don’t like my comment that doesn’t mean I’m lying Pac and Dre fell out because Dre was taking credit for other peoples beats And don’t question me about my age I’m probably old enough to yo mama’s boyfriend 😉
Of course, because he couldn't even have the humility that Napoleon had, and say that it could have been. He had to maintain his Macho facade and save face for absolutely nobody. Even after all that Tough Guy crap Mu still said that he COULD be wrong. I don't believe that he is though, because MJW has such a distinctive look, that you really wouldn't forget his face.
@@insearchof5719 dre is sure as hell very smart and diplomatic too thats why he didn't pick sides but these are the types of people you can't trust when you think they are with you.
This basically shyts on people saying Dre didn’t want no parts of the drama at Death Row and that Biggie wasn’t doing anything in response to Pac. It also puts into perspective why he went so hard at Faith on that joint too.
@@lubui2583 I think that’s life everybody has at least 1 situation they wish they handled differently but maybe some of em stand on everything they did
Napoleon is a True Muslim…I like the fact the he Clearfield he doesn’t agree with the lyrics of Hit em Up At this Point in his Life. Excellent interview….. all the Best to Napoleon, he’s doing the right thing in this Life. InshAllah You get the highest places in Paradise in the Next Life. All the Best.
Pac had a right to respond. He was not the aggressor. The Qu’ran says fight with those that fight with you. Now he can speak for himself in saying that he did not agree with his part...
@@Synchronite Misinformed retaliation to be honest we all know by now biggie wasnt behind the quad studio shooting but he should have know who the shooter was if he the king of new york but still it wasnt big his business though
Exactly like snoop liying ass said in an interview playing innecont him and Dre just wanted no part but pac kept going at biggie ..or badboy trying to paint pac as a villain and biggie as a saint. Pac had every reason to diss everyone on all those records
Y’all gotta understand my uncles was around pac pac got ties in Mississippi him and my uncle phonk philty @ stank dollas got songs Witt pac they was finna start death row south!!💯
@@4everDonDada I got 5 tooth fairys for sale and since your uncle had a special history with pac I will sell them to you at a 10% discount..give your uncle 3 and you take the other 2.
Kadafi was my favorite artist out of the Outlwaz. It's saddend me to know he passed away with a broken heart, but he's resting in Heaven with his brother Pac now🙏🏽
"I was 8 yrs old when I first saw you. I couldn't describe how I felt at that moment. So many emotions. Full of excitement. Full of joy and eagerness. 20 yrs later I understand exactly what that feeling was." - Ja Rule remembering Tupac
1. Dre knew the song was gonna be a hit so he wanted a part of it. 2. Dre realized quickly how Death Row players were living on edge and decided to bounce to stay alive. 3. Dre isn't perfect but however you see it, he is the winner in all of it; alive, free and rich plus the many accolades he has to show.
“in life we live as thugs everybody fuck wit us so can’t you see it’s hard to be a man...” this whole album made me re-fall in love with music. being released posthumously filled me with all manner of melancholy.
Brother I'll be honest with you, you have an opportunity to interview the best and realist 2pac associate, who would always give a honest answer but you didn't take advantage of the situation. It is a carbon copy on vlads interview, napoleon has answered all of these questions hundreds of times already. It's like you're a solicitor cross examining napoleon to see if he will answer different and any holes in his story. Napoleon story hasn't changed ask him new questions, research napoleon's previous interviews and gain ideas to think of new questions bro. God bless
Takes a real man to change his ways and admit his wrongs. Napoleon is by far one of the realest most genuine people out there. Just listen to the man speak. You can hear the honesty in his voice and dude never curses to get his point across. Mad respect to bro. NJ all day bro!
@@Incredible_Geez 1994 Thug Life classic 1995 Me Against The World classic 1996 All Eyes on Me classic 1996 Makaveli classic!!! 4 straight #1 albums in the best era in hip hop with the greatest rappers and groups
It's hard to do a Pac movie due to all the characters you'd have to include... Outlaws, Suge, Dre, Snoop, Nate, Daz, Kurupt, Tyson, Afeni, Jada, Jasmine Guy, Tony Danza, Digital Underground, Jimmy Henchman, Hatian Jack, Jodeci, Janet Jackson, Omar Epps, Quincy Jones, Set, Thug Life, Hughes Brothers, 2 short, bone, scarface, etc etc etc Pac had so many connections
Gotta come up with some more questions that haven’t been asked before though. Aside from that, good stuff. I recommend reading his autobiography so you know the things he’s spoken on already.
@@El_terrible1985 she was on me against the world and the still i rise album. I remember back in 95 she was in the source magazine. Her,Napoleon, and Kastro were supposed to be the group dramacylde. She was there before Noble and Nutso
@Shahzad khan thats exactly why I consider it prophetic. For the very reason that it was not talking about Napolean, who at the time; was not a Muslim.
The reason Makaveli is timeless is because of exactly what Mutah said not because of his untimely passing....Pac put his all in every lyric and word... 💪🏾
dre wanted to produce hit em up? No can't be, he's one of the innocent people at Death Row with snoop dogg and etc etc he would never get involved in any of that! 😂😂😂 Also Mu speaking facts about funk flex coward ass. He should've had that energy when Pac was alive and michael jai white came off extremely bitter in those vlad interviews, that let's me know something did happen and now he has a vendetta. He tried to make Pac seem like something he wasn't. Shout out his wife for posting that picture of her and Pac on instagram.
You the type of fan that promoted the bullshit that got both legends killed, these niggas grown and happy to be alive but you still acting like it’s 96 lol pac wouldn’t be on the same shit 30 years later, clown.
The fact the New York believed faith Evans!! Speaks volumes nobody asked her the important questions !!! I don’t care how much I truly hate my kids dad !! I would not ever marry or sleep with his enemies or friends!!! That’s crossing lines !!! Period an now she’s married to bigs friend Stevie!! Stevie used to live with big !!! Just disgusting!!!
Bro you sound so silly, who the fuck said the believed faith ? She said she didn’t even know they was beefing, so nobody believed her, stop making shit up goofy.
Quiet 🤫 woman... U don’t know what “NY believed” from over there in the west or wherever the hell u stay But I do believe grandma’s 👵🏿 with names like Anita Marie should be knitting sweaters and baking cakes w the grand kids Not still getting all sweaty in ur oversized bloomers about Tupac chill out before u blow out ur hip or something lol
Fact is we have all grown since this era but u can see how faith have dated the biggie friend and producer Stevie j u can understand the way faith evans was doin her things
Really remember missing fatal on makaveli when it came out, and napoleon being on only 1 song. 2 much young noble and edi on makaveli, not enough napoleon, kadafi and Hussein. No Hussein at all...
Never liked noble or edi. Even back then in 97, I wasn’t feeling them dudes. Fatal n yak we’re cold bro n definitely should have had them riding on the records harder. Don’t know why pac didn’t have them on more tracks
Definitely his best and most creative material. His lyrics had gotten stronger, rapping in cadence. It's more like a theme album, has a distinctive sound, dark in tone, militant.
It’s the Get Money Remix, this one. It already has the same bassline as Hit Em Up to my ear ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TDKnwgGxlGo.html
3:57 Oh wow that's why Napoleon had the best verse on Life of an OutLaw🔥 🔥 "Ah Yo, Makaveli, give me them bullets that was left po belly and let me bust back to them niggas till they all sweaty" 🔥(Napoleon voice)
It's funny because you hardly hear of Dr Dre mention or diss a rapper outside of Eazy E and Luke but he's always been vocal about dissing Biggie 😂😂 Like on behind the scenes of California Love video shoot he said Biggie by name dissing him....and now hearing he wanted to produce Hit em up. He really didn't like Biggie at all 😂😂..... probably explains why him and Puffy never worked together.
Tupac was an absolute machine he smashed track after track , rap after rap , song after song he didn't give a fuck he knew his days were numbered and he just laid down a legacy without people even peeping game
Pac had so much energy & dedication to his craft is legendary. The Lady of Rage confirmed this saying 2Pac had so much energy, was a workaholic, and he spent hours upon hours in the studio making Music.
