Because he deviated from his calling. Joining Death Row led to his Waterloo. Try reconciling the Tupac you hear here to the thuggish character signed to Death Row who engaged in fratricidal conflict with other young black men? It’s a shame that it’s a Suge Knight who sprung him out of prison and not some non-diabolical record executive. He joined Death Row and less than a year later he was gone. That’s because of the ugly destructive environment that Suge Knight fostered.

He wasn't that smart

@@isaacwilliams1827 he was smarter then you that's for sure 😃

he grew old, its like he lived it all to 90 years old

​@Tommy he got himself killed by real gangsters because he was trying to be a fake gangster. Not very smart.

Tupac GOAT 🐐

Being dead isn't solid. Nice try though

@@brandonhooper37 you’re a goofy mf.. nice try as well

@@brandonhooper37 We all die in the end even you will have a visit from the angels of death one day

@@MrThegenral1 already been there. Tupac was an attention wh*re. If he was so solid he would be around still. Real mfs live to see old ages. Most solid rapper either e40 or ice cube

They wasn’t raised that way.

He was raised different

Pac was real confident and charismatic. As I see, he felt so secure with himself and knew how to carry himself. There's a lot of jealousy and hate going towards Pac because he knew how to carry himself, how to talk and to move with such confident and charisma. He had such strong presence as well.

He read books. I dont think those guys have read a book in their life

Wasn’t raised the same , and not cut from the same cloth.

Me too. He did so much.

I would of loved to have seen where Pac would of been at in life if only he was still with us in 2023.

"Good"? Your definition of "good" is a whole lot different from mine. GOD is "good" and He didn't tell no one to live a "Thug life"!

​@@exclamationpointman3852 Shut up dummy.

I maintain he has an incredibly feminine energy about him. He basically had no self control, no real masculinity. He's here talking about 'being a gemini'. That is straight up woman speak. The only male elements to him were a kind of fourteen year old ghetto hoodlum persona.

The world cheats itself by not doing the right thing everytime, even when nobody is looking.

@@jaystew730 aka the nw0

You must know a different Tupac??? I remember someone who near made my ears blood when I stood shocked listening to his evil satanic trash!!! Do not be deceived; GOD is not mocked: whatsoever a man sow, that too shall he reap! THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH!!! BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!!!

True.

@@DonaldHHout-ok2fy not!

Your "king" is likely in Hell for running with the devil!!!

gay legend

Or for his haters 😂

What do you mean?

@@summerrain6125 Snoop’s been doing a lot of interviews recently making it seem like 2 Pac was ignorant and reckless but this shows he was intelligent and aware that he wasn’t perfect

@Huncho 89 I do think he was being foolish and reckless at times but of course we know he was wise, knowledgeable and compassionate too. If he wasn't I don't think he would still have stood out after all of these yrs. His genuineness, complexity, intelligence and flawed nature I think all work together to make him valuable, relatable and legendary.

@@huncho8967 What interviews has he made it seem like that instead of showing love to him?

We all wish

Maybe he did. Think about it

​@@Wh4L205 yeah

@@Wh4L205 yeh I thought that maybe he was so ahead of his time and always moving so quickly because he was on a sprint not a marathon.

@@Wh4L205 he did!

Pac came to my baseball game in NC where I pitched a NO hitter as a soon to be 11 year old kid! He came to me after my game and congratulated me and told me to STAY in School and OFF of drugs 🤷‍♂️🙏🫡💯

Damn, I wish I got to meet Pac!💯

​@@allgasnobrakes919 😅😂 Stop the CAP

​@@sharifgrays1501 😅😂

I met Pac first in New York at his concert and he performed When My Homie Calls back in 92. I met him again in 94 at Club Heroes in Orlando, Florida. He was cool as hell. I missed the magics game to see him. But I met Shaq the following day who lived in Windermere which is a rich part of Orlando where also Wesley snipes lived. My stepdad was a chef for Marriott but also cooked for Shaq. This was right when I joined the army. Man I miss the 90s.

He got himself merked/running up with bird chest first

@@INSIDEVIEWOFYOURMOTHER77 He did but the people protecting him should’ve known this guy is a fking gold mine and protected him at all costs but he did step into a world of killers.

@MegaBlast46 .. guy fell with 1 punch from 2 pac bird chest. Then ran a got a gun like most wimps that can’t fight

Pac was an amazing artist and very charismatic. But he was still young, inexperienced and very emotional which is why he made some terrible decisions that unfortunately cost him his life. Had he had a father figure in his life, he could have gotten the lessons he needed to still be here today.

@@yo3rdtier128 Pac should have listened to Mike Tyson and gone home,we would have Makevelli 2

Be obligated to start fair fixed adlibs to be persuasive under the forum and computer genie mode the orders that upcoming bi-standards are attempted at a week.

@@camerontyler5565 yes.

I always say that to my friends.

funny how both 2pac and biggie got killed soon after saying they are leaving the music industry...

@@ICYMIINMIY thats because 2pac is a true artist unlike jay

@@ICYMIINMIY Billionaire status follows the kind of work ethic and global appeal 2Pac had. For example; 2Pac was creating more content than Jay-Z in 1996. As a brand, he was also bigger than Jay-Z. I'm in Africa. A lot of people didn't know Jay-Z in Africa in 1996. We knew 2Pac and his music back then. 2Pac was a best-seller. I think All Eyez on Me sold six million. At 25, 2Pac worked way too hard. He seriously would have been a billionaire. He was already plotting moves. Unless, you never followed 2Pac's work closely. [I think even BIG would have been greater than Jay-Z. Jay-Z became a billionaire at the expense of his business partners (Kareem Burke and Damon Dash).] 2Pac worked hard and had a clear vision. You cannot have that vision, discipline, work ethic, and global brand value and not be a billionaire. 2Pac has been gone 27 years and he remains more relevant than even Michael Jackson (RIP). 2Pac's death was a total loss. Proof: He died and Death Row crumbled. Much love from Botswana 🇧🇼

@@missgangsmashers737 And that's how he would have made money. Billionaires become billionaires by solving universal problems. They don't think making money. Money comes with value creation. 2Pac passionately addressed problems, which is why he consistently sold millions of records like candy. Pac was already a billionaire. It was just a matter of time with his earning potential. I mean here we are still talking about him. How many times do we talk about Jay-Z whose brand value is probably boosted by his own hardworking wife? 2Pac represented priceless passion and work ethic.

Gridlock’d finished filming end of June. So yea only had 2 months at best from this interview

I had the iPhone 14 pro max given to me 26 years before it’s release date we used it to film the interviews

What you expect he's a Gemini like me😂😂😂

What? lol By this time Ice Cube was already there. LL Was already on his way lmao. What pipe are you smoking? Pac was following suit and nothing wrong with that but yall gotta stop acting like pac was setting the tone and making trends

@@educate3d I know right LOL there were plenty of rappers well-established and on his level (if not higher) by that time... everybody just gassing up Pac because of these interviews making em feel some type of way!

He just didn't keep his mouth shut sometimes it's best to be quiet and listen but he was young he never had a good older gentleman and that's sad😢 because he was very intelligent just misconfigured on his methods at times.

@Marcel Zachary Hey that was Pac and the surroundings he grew up in. He knew his time was short here. He was ahead of his time. Biggest Talend and Legend the hip hop game seen in my opinion.

@Marcel Zachary I get what you saying we definitely would like have seen that Pac you talking bout but he was raised to be the Legend and Great Talent this generation seen period.

Who did dumb things

@@gloriempaka9474 oh shut up you silly cow we all make mistakes

@@gloriempaka9474 like everyone does

@M 360 some don't like to mention that about him that's all🤷🏽‍♀️

We just recorded it today

@@rahsunallah2825 straight from Cuba

Pretty sure for the new documentary they just did on him, all this footage is surfacing

U mean same pac that raped that chick at the hotel right

Afeni Shakur 👓 📚

@@Wh4L205 facts

Will Smith was more like a bubble gum wrapper pun intended lol. You can't have his name in that list

Ice Cube and Ice-T too

They just started releasing more interviews because of the Dear Mama show

I think his business career would've been way bigger than both.

Lost? He did more in 11months than you and I did in a lifetime.

@mooky Obviously! A life prematurely cut short. Just saying he didn't get to reach his FULL potential

@@missgangsmashers737 Think you completely misunderstood what I was saying

But he mentioned he actually quite which means he is mysterious and ppl find that interesting

At least you, we who are far away in Africa, we only had our tears to cry. Tupac, a man, a real one!

It's frustrating to lose this intelligent brother over nonsense. I hear keefe D on vlad and the man can barely string a sentence together. It was a sad end to an amazing 25 years of achievements.

@@CakeFace86 it is very sad. In this interview he owns and admits to making some bad decisions. He made one unfortunately that ended his life. I really really wish he didn’t have to deal with Death Row. He jumped Orlando STRICTLY out of loyalty to Death Row. I truly believe he would still be alive today had he not got down with them.

Grow up lol I understand but this real life.

He needed to go just to be greater! We wouldn’t have appreciate Pac right now!

Too good of a soul to be here. God knows his people.

He commands the room. It’s a gift he had.

he was acting in that interview

Wow why u call it an early blessing just curious ?

Nah I knew why you said it is a blessing I just wanted to hear your opinion. I've come to realize if your a true follower of christ than death in this world is a blessing so that's what I think he meant

@@heisenberg-zv8yu Hahaha this man is answering himself you killing me 🤣🤣🤣, and it was a typo I meant to say "passing"

@@juzrhyme712 ohhh that's funny well my bro u may have learned sumthin deep today with my perspective peace!

yup seems like he was ready to leave death row & do his thang

Went passed a lot of ppls heads

@@NoreagaMan That's what I'm saying.

Yup

Why u gotta say u not gay

That has nothing to do with loving an artist

Aslaam walaikum my brother teach your beautiful children about the most beautiful and one and only true religion of Islam that will benefit you and them in the next life.

Thats my go to Pac movie, I've been seeing Juice since 13 or 14, but Gridlock'd was so different for him and he got to kiss Lucy Lui on the lips..😂😂

See, the doctor tried to smack me, but I smacked him back. 1st words were thug for life, and papa pass the mack.
