This is the closest we will ever see what Tupac might have looked like as an older man 😢

This guy can pass for 50 and he's in his 70s... incredible.

The fact that he has pictures with pacs arm around him and smiling is all the proof we need that pac and his father made amends.

Same attitude as his son, when he believes something is wrong he speaks out on it👏

This the realist 2Pac interview out since September of ‘96

This man didn’t raise Pac but you can hear how their spirits/mindsets link. Can’t cheat DNA.

"NOMATTER WHAT, I'M STILL THE FATHER OF TUPAC SHAKUR. AND THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. " ---BILLY GARLAND AKA 2POP AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

Love these interviews with his Dad, seems like a good dude.

You can tell he misses his son

“I’m still the father of Tupac Shakur, there’s only one of me.” 💯 7:04

I used to hate my Dad growing up, now im in my 30's, i love my Dad so much. I grew up to learn some relationships just don't work out in the long run, if not MOST, and that's just the way it is. Edit: For you lot who find it hard to understand reading between the lines. My father was absent most when me and my siblings were kids. He would try and buy our time by buying us nice things to make up for it while he remained not around even to give us himself. He took the plane every minute to be with other women, he cheated on my Mom while she never did back to him. We had big house together as a family, he squandered it all over women and sex. Bank took the house, My grandfather gave my Dad a big piece of land for him and my Mom when they had me and got married. My little brother had to leave going private school to government, my mother only could afford for one of us to go so it was me. I remember few times seeing my mother in tears and worrying how we are going to survive the next day, some days she didnt even have lunch money for me to go to school.We started living in apartments for years, paying rent. So yea that's why i hated my Dad so much, i no longer hold a grudge still my other siblings does a little. Now if you don't know now you know.

I have a son three yrs. Old looking at this makes me wanna stay strong with my son this man tried to find his son

He keeps the same energy. This is definitely where Pac gets it from

Fair play to Billy he's entitled to tell his story from his side and seems genuine in what he's saying.. 💯 R.I.P. 🙏 Tupac 🙏

I'm still the father of Tupac Shakur and there's nothing nobody can do...❤ love how he speaks about his son

Im glad that 2pac and his father had a chance to meet and maintain their friendship

This interview has had me anticipating each new part. Mr. Garland, after all these years, finally feels comfortable enough to tell his story. Props to Delray and Art for earning that trust. I'm not making any excuses for him. But I can only imagine how hard it was in those days to try and track someone down without resources. Him and his son, Tupac R.I.P., were robbed of the chance to have that father and son relationship that's so vital in a child's life. I really do feel for him. That anger and regret has to be a heavy load. Hope this interview can ease some of that and he gets vindicated for all the lies told on him. You are Tupac Shakur's father. Can't nobody take that from you! I hope he's looking down on you with a smile on his face. Peace!

This man done went thru too much pain to lie about anything... it's just that he's finally getting to tell his truth after all these years. You can just tell when someone's honest.

Just because a man may not want a relationship with the mother doesn't mean he doesn't want a relationship with the child. Some mothers use the child as leverage against the father for not wanting the relationship with them. The child suffers in the end.

Keisha Morris is the only one who chose not to make money off of her husbands name, even when Pac put her through bs. She can if she want to but she got her own money. She can really tell it all but she’s too classy for that. That’s the only women in Pac life I respect.

We see where Tupac gets his passion, charm, and articulation from! 😊

I grew up the same way my birth mom told me my dad didnt love me talk down on him like a dog in the street put him on Oprah Winfrey show dead beat dads when i was 18yrs old I found out my dad was paying $800 a month just 4 me in child support. In total 80k+ .didnt see a cent of it ..he was also paying for Medicare doctor and dental visit food stamps Etc... He would ask to get me for summers come to the city and visit they would hide me and he gave me his name I'm just the 4th ... What's in the dark will come to light........ This world is crazy smh R.I.P 2pac...

The twinkle in his eye when he speaks of his son. As a father, it's beautiful.

“They say im young and im heartless But all along I was lookin for a father he was gone” this hit wayyy harder now

Can't help but love 2Pac's pops he's definitely a real one just like his son...✊

2pac most definitely looks like his father in the pictures.

It’s sad that both the father and son were deceived and that damaged their relationship and made them both insecure and feeling rejected by the other

I see why pac was so passionate both of his parents were passionate

I used to blame my father for not being around, but today it's almost 1yrs since I saw my daughter, I lost my job during corona and I can't find something better to do, Am broke and her mom will tell her everything to hate me. I pray to God to open the doors.

It's great to listen to Billy Garland speak his truth.

I feel for this man. He should if been at the walk of fame induction

You can see how happy 2pac is in that photo with just him and his father. His smile is so bright

Mr Garland is real talk man

I could listen to this man talk all day rip

6:37 - that’s it is all right there. Billy and 2Pac have more in common than their looks. Their hearts and their minds are the same. They get wrong, but they continue to do what’s right. If you noticed, after Billy is saying he came around, you never heard 2Pac say anything negative publicly against his father. Facts.

I can't get enough of these interviews. It's like my daily fix this last week. I'm on everyday watching every second of every interview with Billy Garland.

Wow man i never knew he sued Afeni for half of Tupac's money. That kind of paints a different picture. I mean if he says he didn't want any money why sue for half when he was hardly a part of his life? Keisha Morris never tried to make a dime off Tupac. Yet he wants to make assumptions about their relationship?

It's amazing how his father has tupac’s mannerisms, swearing and apologizing then swearing again when speaking lol

the things that a black father goes through.. smh

Pac dad seems real and down to earth

This interview is very compelling

I remember him being on the Ricky Lake Show back in the day when he first publicly said he was Tupac's father. Hope I can still look that episode up.

The spirit of his son is speaking through his father.. powerful

I wish they would’ve invited him to both The Rock N Roll hall of fame and the Hollywood Walk Of Fame cause he has a right to have been there!

That's Deep!!!!😢 Tupac Had So, Many Vultures In His Short Lived Life! So, Many false Narratives No One Should Have To Go Through Unless, They Just Want To Be Miserable In Life! "Lookin' For A Father & He Was Gone!"(Afeni's Detrimental Lie To Her Own Son) Some Women Lie To Their Children Out of Spite For That Biological Man, She Became Pregnant From! Tupac Was Made Out of Lust But, Filled With So, Much Love! Tupac Was Raised To Have A Militant Mind, Have Full Knowledge of His Ancestry But, He Lacked The Main Ambition of His Character...That Only Billy Garland Could Give! Now, Most Men Aren't Worthy To Be In Their Child's Life For Good Reasons But, Tupac & Billy Garland Aren't Typical, In This Case! Things Happen For Reason & Only GOD Is In Charge So, I Pray That Tupac Has Given His Life TO JESUS BEFORE Tupac Breathed His Last Breath On 9/13/1996 My Condolences To The Shakur Family, True Friends of 2Pac & My Condolences To Tupac & Billy Garland For What Could've Been 😢

It’s crazy, how we say don’t judge others but people judging him. Speak your truth!

Him and pac is alike no 🧢 I respect how he comin

Glad he finally came out and said his peace

They never gave Billy a chance and its sooooo messed up.

No Judgement Here Mr. Garland 💜🙏😇💜

BRUH THIS IS REALLY INSANE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HERES PACS DAD AND HE STILL LOOKS GOOD FOR HIS AGE JUST IMAGINE HOW MUCH MORE GREATNESS PAC N BIGGIE WOULD HAVE GAVE US BY THIS TIME

When We were kids, We blamed Our Dads until We had to wear his shoes….

You can also tell he's a good actor. This is where 2pacs must have got his acting skills from.

Whatever happens in the dark will soon come to the light.

This is the greatest interview ever.. even Vlad couldn’t pull this off.. respect art of dialogue

Pac said it was pointless to have a relationship with Billy after they finally met. He said this twice. In the vibe interview and mtv interview by the beach. And he said Billy left him for HIS personal reasons. Not because Afeni was hiding him from Billy. Also, why is he now talking about it 27 years later? Why not do this while Afeni was alive?

Great that Tupac got to know who his father was and got to meet him before he passed. And start a relationship with him

First of all billy, they were engaged before he even went to prison. Keisha said this out of her own mouth. Pac was the one who chased her. She didn’t chase him. They also lived together for a year. He also said in an article that she was his first real love and she was the one who anulled it. She wasn’t putting up with his cheating and I don’t blame her. Who wants to be cheated on constantly? Says no one ever.

So many people are making money off Tupacs name on this platform and elsewhere; it’s ridiculous! When really his family deserves the revenue! They could easily start a KZfaq channel and make these videos and tell their side of the story.

PAC was Genuinely happy when he pops seen him locked up it might of been his best moment at his worst place in life wow 😢

I like how he’s calm and has accountability as well🫡He ain’t perfect but at least he wanted to be in his child’s life

I think Pac would agree that his father deserves much more respect than people are giving him. Especially since he was actually there in his life when it mattered the most.

I would love to meet Billy Garland. Real dude

Billy is inaccurate. Keisha and Pac were ENGAGED MONTHS BEFORE HE WAS EVEN FOUND GUILTY. You can tell that he doesn't know his son's personal life. 😂😂 Pac was also still in love and dealing with Keisha when he died. She said they were getting back together. She also said that Pac told her he was using Kidada for Quincy's connections. Noone knew Pac and Keisha but THOSE TWO. RIP PAC AND AFFENI.

Next time u interview him ask him what’s up with the ‘Parish Lesane Crooks’ name. I always wondered what the deal was with that name.

Is it me or is this coming off to anyone else as a cash grab.....I keep wondering how much money he feels/felt entitled to 🤔? It makes me sad to know that so many people profitted off of Tupac's brilliance and didn't seem to genuinely LOVE him. I keep wondering if Mr. Garland's son weren't "Tupac" would he have been as passionate about reconnecting with him? I just dislike this juxtaposition between he and Afeni at the expense of Tupac.....it's sad to reduce a person in death to how well they line your pockets.....

Keep your sons close to your heart

I feel so bad for him he really miss pac

THIS MAN TELLS YOU EVERY DETAIL OF WHAT HE TOOK CARE OF PAC AND WHEN TO SEE PAC AND EVEN HAS PICTURES TO PROVE IT!!! AND PEOPLE STILL DOUBT HIM 😂😂😂😂😂😂

These never before seen pics of Pac and his father are amazing thank you for sharing

Mr Garland, thank you very much for coming on here, we feel Tupac in you, and thank you for giving us the brightest light in all of music and entertainment! You are his father, God bless you sir.

Great interview!! Yal need more interviews with his dad and other siblings. Especially from his mamma daughter sekyiwa

This dude is very likable, Speaks with a lot of Passion.just like his son

"TOO GROWN!!!!" I felt thissssss POPS!

Billy Square Business and from looking at them pictures pac had a real smile on his face...Pac grew up listening to his mother's side of the story like so many of us did not knowing mama is not being all tha way truthful...

"I'm still the father of Tupac Shakur and can't nobody ever take that shit away from me." Smh damn I felt that.

He thought he was entitled to 50%of his estate? Bro didn't even show up to see Pac get his star yesterday.

I'm glad He Mr.Garland Did Get to Meet 2 Pac Before He Passed 🙏🙏👑🖤

I find it interesting that Pac’s ex wife Keisha is rarely brought up when it comes to her contribution of holding him down during one of the toughest times in his life, but when she does get brought up, it’s usually to invalidate their relationship. As much as we all love Pac, even I can agree that he used her to a certain extent, which is sad because she don’t really bother nobody and has stayed relatively quiet over the years. Tbh I’m kinda glad she stays quiet and minds her business because when it comes to Pac’s life & legacy, they either act like she doesn’t exist or invalidate her existence by pointing out the fact that she was used as if Pac never loved her at all. Having to answer to that constantly would be so embarrassing. They did her dirty lowkey

I get bad vibes from him. Everyone else relating on some deadbeat shit look like 😂. That probably why kieshia ignored him if it did happen. Some of us have discernment

Pac and Keisha both did an interview with Jamie foster in 1995. They both stated that there was no sex in jail, because Pac wouldn’t dare ask that. It’s also stated on his jail records. Also if Pac really did use Keisha, then that makes him look bad. You don’t use a women with pure intentions.

I hate when grown men make excuses about why they wasn't in their kids life I have two boys and they was born while i was between 14-16 and they where with me until they got grown,if I could do it as a teenager a grown man should be able to.

Right on pops ✊🏽 real Pac fans we with you ❤️💯

Great, great, great interview!...I really do appreciate honesty and facts and the truth...long as he and tupac knew that's all that matters..so I'm happy for him that's he has that!..there is always two sides of the story...when I watch Dear Momma and I remember afeni sister saying that afeni lived with a lot of guilt. I can't help but to wonder if keeping tupac father away was part of that guilt...I wonder

A lot of women been held up on these pedestals with a lot of lies they kept hiding It’s sad that those women Can’t separate their personal feelings from a fathers , Son relationships versus Dad and Mother relationship it’s very damaging in the end .

6:35 That’s definitely Pac right there. Genetics are amazing.

If you weren’t after PAC’s money why would you even sue his estate? Not even Keisha wanted anything although they were married and she could have easily gotten paid.

WOW just when I thought we would never have another 2Pac! just to see 27yrs later it was a 2pac before a 2pac Billy Garland! From watching the interviews 2pac act just like his father! from his mannerisms and the way he talk his truth with passion and realness its almost Erie because I feel like 2pac is still alive but embodied in his father, they are that much alike. Its crazy!! and mind blowing! but great interview!! Mr Garland should write a Book or even do a movie or documentary or something to telling His-story! 2pac is still here with us in his 70's still alive and well! Thank you Art of Dialogue and 2pac father. This was an excellent interview and look forward to many more!

Every man on this earth want a relationship with they daddy ion care what lies they are fed by the mother as a child, once they get old enough to understand they want true answers

love this interview hope there's more parts

Dad left when I was 10 I was angry why did he leave us not help us then I found him at 27 3 strokes half paralzed I looked after him for 8 years washed him dressed him buried him had good 8 years with him as I get older I realise why these things happen life’s hard you either can deal With the pressure of life or you Can’t he couldn’t rip to dad

Keep spitting Da truth ❤🙌🏽🙏🏾🙌🏽🔥❤️

People have to also understand Tupac's mom wasn't always around, Tupac himself says he was sent to say with other panthers home n that his mom was in drugs when he was 16 / 17 so why n he said himself that his mom told him his dad was dead so Tupac said himself the same things his dad is saying

This whole clip is priceless but the 7:00 mark hit me like a freight train. Powerful!

This dude still talking he full of it. He wants to come out now about this.. since Afeeni isn't here to defend herself and THE TRUTH.

Its so sad for a father and a son to not be able to spend apropiate time between each other.

Preach, the more he talk, the more and more you see where Tupac get being bunt and out spoking from. 😊

We definitely believe you 💯 OG PAC salute Sir

Delray Richardson. Straight game. Good chess move to collaborate with the art of dialogue. Keep pushing we behind you brother. 💯🔥

Most folks don't understand how people can shield and keep children away from a parent and the truth.
