PAC had to be one hell of a man the way everyone talks about him. I wish I could’ve met him

I’M A LOUISIANA NIGGA BUT ALOT OF MF’S GOT THEY GAME FROM THE BAY!! NOT ONLY TUPAC BUT EVEN MASTER P GOT HIS GAME FROM THE BAY. S/O TO THE WHOLE BAY, MUCH LOVE FROM SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA 💯💯💯

I remember watching an interview with the cast of Juice and they were telling Pac " you ain't in Oakland now, this ain't Oakland". So he was claiming the Bay since then.

Pac covered the south,too.When he caught that case with the off duty cops,he was living in Atlanta.

Every True 2Pac supporter knows this.

2pac said in a interview that the Bay Area was what made him who he is

Yea you can hear the New York accent in 2Pac’s words. He also has west coast accent & slang/Cali Bay Area accent & slang as well. But in my honest opinion to keep it real 2Pac is mainly a West Coast rapper but you can argue that he’s a East Coast rapper as well Cause he has ties to both coast and all those places where he lived made him who he was which is what made 2Pac raw & special. P.S. 2Pac told you himself “I represent the Bay. When I was living in New York I learned flava and different shit like that, not to diss New York I learned a lot but I never learned the game nobody ever took the time to show me the game. When I got to Oakland that’s when I learned the game.” -2Pac 1993

"straight outta Oakland kalifornia where we'll spark it on ya!" - 2pac " nothin but love"

Pac was a bay area artist period. Got his start with Digital Underground then last recorded with Spice-1. He had his own style but thats what the bay brings to the game, the independent spirit. Even on All Eyez On Me, he brought his bay crew to rap on many songs.

2 Pac was living in Oakland when he did Juice. We know that.

2Pac had already put out 3 albums repping the Bay (West Coast) BEFORE he even joined Death Row! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Also a lot of people believe where you were born and raised from that's what you claim but you can claim wherever that gives you love when you plant your feet there

My name is Trenton Jenkins. Pac was a New Yorker who actually came up in Baltimore and California. Pac was a East Coast M.C who had a West Coast G funk style and that was unheard of...he was the prototype of that style and then later on came Kurpyt....Brother Spice 1 is 100% right....that's why people who are not true Pac fans can never detect threw his music.

2Pac moved to Marin & lived in Oakland when he was 16-17 years old until he became a roadie with Digital Underground.

"I throw peace to The Bay 'Cause from The Jungle to Oaktown, they backin' me up all the way" - 2Pac 1991

"Give a holla to my niggaz in the Bay, I'm living in L.A. still clutching on my AK". -Pac

Everyone in Northern California knew that Pac was in the bay before Death Row. Trapped anyone?

There’s a interview with Tupac and Ritchie rich eating pizza and rolling up blunts talking about the Bay Area game he got

2pac’s greatest album “Me Against the World” has that West Coast Feel. Pac uses a lot of West Coast lingo on that album as well.

I love Tupac stories.. especially from well respected bay cats. Salute to Spice 1! Bay area legend

Just cause your born one place does not make it home especially if you grew up in a different city

Well spoken G🙌💯💯

Oakland CA is like Flint Michigan SPICE 1 Thanks for all the Love You Showed My Little cousin MC BREED FLINT MICHIGAN Rest Well PAC & BREED. ✊🏿🖤

Pac is originally from Harlem New York then to Baltimore and New Jersey then Oakland California as a teen like 16

Point is the Tupac that everybody love and honor got his game from Oakland 💯 end of discussion

Good to see a platform get wit spice 1 who is most underrated! I never knew the difference between LA slang Bay slang thanks for the crash course spice

*From Oakland to Sac Town, The Bay Area and back down.* 🌉

He just summed up why pac is untouchable as an artist. He took in all those styles from all those areas and you got one GOAT rapper!

Yup. 1st it was Marin City, then Oakland and Pac even lived in Richmond, Cali for a little bit 🌉

Its that generic line the haters love to dial "Pac weren't from the West this n that" 🙄 Tf outta here 🏃‍♂️ Spice 1 stay up OG 💯

PAC Is Actually A Bay Area Rapper he Came from NYC lived in Bmore But Was A teenager in The BAY That’s Where 2PACALYPSE Now 1991 Was Recorded

His heart was always in the Bay Area. Spice 1 is right. Pac was universal.

He’s a NY dude, NY accent, dressed like a NY dude, called himself MC New York. And hung out in NY a lot after becoming a rapper

Pac said it himself. All his awards and everything that he is, thank tha bay for it. Y’all can twist it up as much as y’all want, but Pac is the BAY and carried that shit well. He was one of ours and we embraced him even tho he got into some shit out here but he still gave love so we’ll take it

Good shit Spice!! Really spill

Tupac’s heart was East Bay Area...it’s all about where your heart is at. Had elements of Baltimore, NY, got dipped in Bay Area sauce, then LA took his career to the next level. He was the ultimate MC! He grew up with the mind set of the Black Panthers to...rappers today ain’t militant. Pac is on the same level as Malcolm X and Huey P Newton

Pac was beat up by Oakland Police straight after returning from filming Juice in new york, I think it was 1991.

Pac is world wide 🙌🏾

Pac let you know this shit on "My Block"

This town bizz different then any other city in Cali it’s like it’s own state. The whole bay different but Oakland is the heart of the bay

Keep ‘em coming Art!!! Much love to Spice 1! 💯💯💯

Pac been saying he learn the game from the bay he connected more with the bay he never lied Suge wanted his album be more LA influenced he always said his happiest times were in the bay he just on a West coast label

Shoutout To The Bay From Cincinnati. 💯

That’s why Pac is so loved EVERYWHERE because he sounded and related to all the hoods in America

Part of his greatness is the fact that he was tapped in across the country

Spice 1 one the best interviews yet Art! Plus his music is A1.

Tell them fam!

Spice was spittin some real game. I'm from the Bay but I lived in L.A. for 7 years. Most of the gangbangers that I came across could tell that I wasn't a gangbanger by how I talked and how I dressed. It's not just all Crips vs Bloods. In Long Beach for example, there are no Bloods so there's different factions of Crips who beef with each other. But in the Bay people beef with people from different neighborhoods

One Word, Legend.

The only people who says Tupac wasn’t out West before Death Row are New Yorkers and Wacc100 followers Cuhz🤣 PAC’s whole style for us in Los Angeles bacc in those days was Bay Area. We knew that once he stepped on the scene

Dude only asked him about Pac on the West Coast and Spice turned the discussion into a Bay vs LA thing. Bay area dudes always insecure about LA.

Pac showed his love to his Eastcoast upbringing in Old School. Showed his love to Cali. Linked with anyone who was real enough from any city. If there's only one city that can "claim" Pac its Oakland.

Tell em Spice 💯 Northern California stand up 👏🏾

Definitely had a NY accent. Talked about how he was from NY but didn’t get the game til CA.

For those who don't know, the bay area and Oakland is where his career begun with Digital Underground. Richie Rich from Oakland is his homie and I'm sure he met Dru down in Oakland as well.

Deep!

Tho east coast born, im west coast raised 💪🏻🤷🏻‍♂️

Pac was in the bay as a teenager and was really living like that

Pac lived in Marin County and went to HS in Mill Valley in the Bay. Those areas are the Hamptons / Laguna Beach of the Bay Area. Beautiful rich neighborhoods, not the trenches.

Pac was a Genius, he get love everywhere, Especially in the Bay !!!🌴

Pac was actually from the Bronx and he has said it out his mouth too on a song

Black Panthers were founded in West Oakland, Spice!

Real shit

Pac said in an interview he give all his props to the Bay, they gave him THE GAME!!

🎶 “I’m quick to split ya shit, and getcha open, Straight outta Oakland , Fuck the Law and Getcha Jaw Broken ! “ Tupac-Let them Thangs Go! One of my fav songs from PAC.

didn't know Patna was an Oakland thing only heard that in Menace To Society and from Vallejo rappers

When Pac live in Oakland he stayed at 275 Macarthur Blvd near lake Merritt

I love Spice’s hypotheses about Bay & LA street politics. 👌🏾

Tupac went to school in Marine City also after left the Baltimore School of art that was the last place he grew up as a teenager in Marine City California the Bay area

Rest easy Pac 🙏🏾, 803

Stay up Spice, 💯💯💯 nothing but facts.

Great interview, but what's in that red cup?

Ppl still debating this , 2pacs first album is literally labeled west coast rap lol the only people that say this are pac haters who don’t do research , was on the west coast before his whole rap career lol

Big kato and mental from ivc was pac's biggest influences once he came to LA in 92 pac always gave them they props pac also had alot of friends from different hoods in LA from the west side to the east and he got family in the east side low bottoms too

Yo Spice 1 it that favorite uncle with all the stories man he got a good vibe with him man for real

That’s very true about the colors spice 1 very good post

Everyone in the comment section that confused about pac's game and where he was representing, you peeps need to go study pac I think all yall are just music related fans but yall don't study 2pac properly. Whatever spice said is exactly that 💯 YES pac is originally from New York but he came up on the westside. That's why he give it up to oakland because that's where he learned the game meaning the game of the streets but he still showed love for new york, 2pacalypse Now - something wicked - he was representing new york. Strictly 4 my N.I.G.G.A.Z - representin 93 - he gave it up for new york rappers and Westcoast rappers, Me Against the World 🌎 Old school - he gave that whole track to the Eastcoast. But realistically towards end of pac's life he was representing North, South, East and west, he was gonna claim all of it and set his mark.. POWERFUL YOUNG BROTHER ✊🏾

Tupac’s first group of friends was from Richmond Ca, and he also recorded his first album in Richmond and lived in Marina Bay before moving to Oakland

I gotta visit Oakland

Pac was always known as a Bay Area rapper even after he joined Death Row. Yeah he eventually rapped on beats produced by Dre and Daz but even those guys recognized he wasn't an LA cat. Even Keefe D said Pac was a Bay nigga.

Yup 2pac from east Oakland 357 west side best side

Man Pac been talking about the Bay from Day one and always spoke on the West coast. These them new Pac fans. Pac was rocking Oakland As coats and Hats with Digital Underground Pac was saying that izzle and Baaabyyy baby

1:58-2:11 his eyes are cocking back and forth 😂

Pac took his 1st breath in Bronx, NY

Tupac moved to Marin city at 14-15 from Baltimore so wherever you live you can represent just cause your born somewhere doesn't make that your home rip makaveli

Thank you Spice for klearing this up.. I get tired of mtfas saying Pac wasnt from the West Coast.

I had no clue that PAC had an East coast accent 🤣

✊🏾💪🏾👊🏾🙏🏾 Can’t forget about Oakland

“Once again it’s ya friend outta Oakland/Hopin’ I can rock the shit that get ya open” - Representing ‘93 Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z. - 2Pac

Wow...After all these years and an avid Tupac listener...This is the first time I can honestly say I now understand what Pac meant by "The game"🤦🏾‍♂️

Right.

Even pac said panther on the movie juice

✨💯✨ iii love how spice got pacs back... solid... ✨💯✨ III

You see what I’m saying. This the G who should’ve been interviewed along time ago!!! And he ain’t in no ones documentaries!!! They need to redo them and include SPICE 1.

Teach dem Spice

FACTS!!

Spice 1 is speaking FACTS!!❤❤💯 Shout out to AOD❤🖤❤💯

Pac did not have a east coast accent he did when he first came out but eventually he started to sound more west coast and his accent changed more west coast in his later years

He has so many connections man. Everywhere he went he got love. Shit is incredible 2 see so many years after the fact

Pac started for dancin' for Digital Underground (from Oakland), then he started rappin' wit' them on Same Song!!!
