Telling Pac to run the jewels and Pac pulling out his gun instead, should already tell you that he's not letting anyone extort him.

Pac solved the Quad studio situation. He knew Jimmy was behind it. Also, on Sway, Tupac talked about the rampant extortion in NY, even Puff wasn't immune from it

Pac got caught up with East coast gangstas then got caught up with west coast gangsters

I worked at The Hit Factory Recording Studio as an assistant engineer... on the Wyclef session... for 1 YEAR STRAIGHT.... Wyclef had multiple rooms booked in 1999 and 2000. Anyway.... Haitian Jack was always there. Standing there. Looking sour, with his 'I'm Tough' face on. Wyclef had a huge group. Nobody seemed to talk to Haitian Jack. He was just there. This lone wolf. Jack never entered the studio, either. He only hung in the lounges. But Haitian Jack was ALWAYS there. Wyclef did not seem to like his presence. It just seemed cold. It seemed like Haitian Jack was a pimp watching his girl make her money. I know that sounds crazy. But it was weird. I could be dead wrong. Maybe they were super good friends. But you can tell by how people interact. And it was a cool relationship at best to my eyes. And yes, even then everyone knew Haitian Jack was "the guy that had 2PAC setup in Quad". That's what other assistant engineers said to me.

Respect to the GOAT. Never backed down to a man, no matter who he was. The man even shot cops in the butt 😂. Yes, all of it made him reckless, but it made him real and admirable as well. RIP

Being young is no longer an excuse or justification for bad behavior

This man has been wild, grown up become a real man and always talks the realist shit.. respect you so much 💪🏻 always protecting his big bro 😎

Before Quad Pac had the same pattern of behavior hence why the siatuation in Marin City happened 🙃

Let me break it down. Those guys were the worst of street dudes. Their primary trade was robbery, extortion and other terrible crimes that’ll cause your average hard gang member to blush. Henchman, who was Jack’s very close buddy was simply trying to conduct business on Pac who in their world was an ideal candidate for pressing. We see street dudes managing rappers all the time. All he wanted was to make money off PAC who was always around his good friend, Jack. But Jack wouldn’t let him. We know Pac was extremely infectious. Jack must have genuinely enjoyed his company and grown to love him. It would have been great business for Henchman though who probably couldn’t understand why Jack was messing with “this square”. He must’ve been trying for a while to recruit Pac. I can see Jack telling him to simply ask Pac and even asking Pac for him. Pac just wasn’t having it because he already had a manager who he wasn’t going to replace with a street dude who wanted to but couldn’t press him. The problem is that being around a person like Jack was inevitably going to take a bad turn. In fact, that bad turn is where Jack resides. Pac was going to be introduced to his new friend’s world sooner or later. If it wasn’t the rape case, it would have been something else. With their relationship strained, Henchman now had carte blanche to conduct ‘business as usual’ on Pac. Unlike some who think that Ayanna Jackson or signing to Death Row led to Pac’s demise, meeting Jack was the worst thing that ever happened to him.

Pac was reckless and it was his downfall. Yes he had heart. But all that did was constantly get him in unnecessary conflict. Both times he got shot is because Pac was being reckless with who he disrespected

When will you interview storm from the outlaws

Pac knew, but didn't know what he was associating with, and THAT is where BIG play a part

Good interview by Mutah lol at the zoo part 😂

Hey Pac Stan's, The King of New York was a Rap tittle. NO ONE RUNS NEW YORK CITY, just like no one runs LA or Chicago.

Knowledge is ones ability to see thru things .....not what you're being told . Remember that ......

That NJ comment was a fact!! The allure of NY gangsters had no bearing on us.

Jimmy Henchman (can’t say Jack) did try to extort Tupac by getting him to sign a management contract with him. He also purchased jewellery for him. When Pac refused to sign with him.. Jimmy asked for the jewellery back. Pac refused. Jimmy told him “your just a rapper”..Tupac replied “well your just a groupie then”….that disrespect soured their relationship…despite weeks later Tupac agreeing to come to the studio for a fee to record with an artist under Henchman.

So yall know damn well it had nothing to do with Biggie.

U Can Be Touched-2Pac and The Outlawz

So to the interviewer if the person your interviewing said they "heard" a story doesn't make it the truth. Smh

Did you ever think you'd see the day that one of the outlawz would be standing up for Haitian Jack? That's why Fatal got up away from them back in the day

U don't remember wat pac said? He said : I'm being charged for being in concerts with some guys , well where they at?? No I'm not angry at them . Im angry at the system. (Those people had some pull. )

My favorite OL more for who he is now.

Why is Tut’s name still being brought up?!? Tut had NOTHING to do with the robbery. Dexter Isaac has 2 books out that break down this situation and other stickups from around those times

He wanted to Manage Tupac & he wasn’t going for it 📍

Jimmy Henchman was extorting Puffy and Big and Tupac wasn't excepting the Extortion.

Facts on " Jersey" btw!!!

Crazy how he says pac wasn’t untouchable, and him and the outlaws have a song “u can be touched” lolz . Crazy

"Jersey is a different type of zoo" facts 😂😂

Pac wanted no smoke with jack he was on another level

Pac had a song called "you can be touch"

Pacs problem with jack was the SA and court case...as we hear in against all odds.

Jersey gangsters didn't matter to Brooklyn cats neither!

So why he blame big for knowing now u saying he got into a argument on the phone

They wanted to sigm him to music management contract & Andre Harell wanted to sign him to an actor's contract and he said No! He controls his own career. They manage most artist then & now. Wack 100, Akon, Henchman

New Jersey gangsters were/are as hard as Connecticut gangsters.

"What happened was east coast gangstas was extorting them NY rappers I came and fucked up everything "-2pac last interview with sway 2pac was just different from every rapper that's rapping now he was just fearless it ain't no rapper today like that we can't name a rapper today that would shoot a cop or anybody for you only 2pac black panther mentality greatest of all time still in 2023 sorry 🥱☝️🤷‍♂️

Tupac withheld information from certain people. Its too many different stories about everything. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

That's a facts Jersey dudes different. Anybody can get it

That's facts anybody can get touched

I actually respect tupac for not allowing himself to be extorted by actual gangsters tho, you have to respect that, that takes balls. The only part i have a problem with is him dragging biggie in his mess

Love 2Pac and everything he did for hip hop and being a vocal leader for his people but pushing the narrative that Biggie set him up knowing that was not the case and he was talking crazy to Jimmy moments before Quad is fcked up. If that happened today everyone would call that out.

1:38 I agree, Jack had nothing to do with it.

"U Can Be Touched"

Un said Tupac didn’t even know who Jimmy Henchman was, when they were going back and forth on the phone, threatning eachother. I got the feeling Un wasn’t telling the truth there, or?

I heard he was light-skinned, stocky, with a Haitian accent Jewelry, fast cars and he's known for flashin' Listen while I take you back and lace this rap A real live tale about a snitch named Haitian Jack Knew he was workin' for the feds...

That's what you heard? Sooo now what you heard is true bruh. Believe half of what you hear people. The only people who know the truth was the people around those situations.

Everything he said is an emoji 🎯🎯🎯

So Art of Dialogue has an OBVIOUS Tupac bias we all see this, especially us New Yorkers and I will ALWAYS be here to call him out for it... With that being said here's the TRUTH... I have a friend who used to be in Jimmy Henchman's house when they would work on video shoots, and knows Jimmy Henchman's son (The one Tony Yayo snuffed) AND my other friend who is a coworker of mine who is Prodigy's from Mobb Deep cousin (I saw the pictures of him at the 1995 Source Awards when Suge said what he said about Puff) BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE TOLD ME THIS ABOUT JIMMY HENCHMAN... Yes, there was an issue between Jimmy Henchman and Tupac ALSO Jimmy is cool with Haitian Jack, and Haitian Jack's people didn't like Tupac all over interviews calling out Haitian Jack and insinuating he was a fed (in hindsight maybe Jack was a fed because Wyclef Jean & Haitian Jack are COUSINS and Wyclef was involved in shady stuff when he was running for president in Haiti) back on topic... Haitian Jack's people didn't like the fact that Pac was OPENLY disrespecting Jack so OUT OF RESPECT FOR JACK THEY ACTED ON THEIR OWN TO ROB TUPAC AT QUAD STUDIOS. Jimmy Henchman hired King Tut (a notorious stickup kid in Brooklyn, him & Mike Tyson knew each other and used to rob people in Brooklyn back in the day) and a few other people to ROB TUPAC. The intention was to only rob Tupac and take his jewelry to EMBARRASS HIM as a sign to tell Pac to stop disrespecting Jimmy Henchman & Haitian Jack. Once Tupac took out his gun to defend himself that's when KING TUT SHOT TUPAC because he was defending himself. Lil Cease & another Junior Mafia member came down the elevator and saw Pac shot, Stretch (Stretch Armstrong) face down on the floor and they yelled at Lil Cease to get back on the elevator. King Tut PANICKED because again the plan WASN'T to SHOOT Pac it was only to ROB PAC of his jewelry. Lil Cease went upstairs to tell Biggie that Pac was shot and their crew was getting robbed. Biggie told Lil Cease to stay in the recording room (they were recording the song Player's Anthem) and Biggie took a GUN WITH HIM and went downstairs to go HELP TUPAC. Then Biggie was met with police who told him to put his hands up while Pac was upstairs with Puffy, Andre Harell, & Lil Shawn IN SHOCK because of his gunshot wounds. Lil Shawn took Tupac's gun from one of Pac's homies and hide it in the piano for him. Biggie & Lil Shawn was at a party talking about it and Biggie told Lil Shawn that he went to the hospital to VISIT TUPAC and brought him his gun (Tupac's father Billy Garland was in the hospital and saw Biggie). Lil Shawn tells Biggie he was the one who hide the gun in the piano and Biggie was shocked. LASTLY, Biggie & Mike Tyson warned Tupac MULTIPLE TIMES TO STAY AWAY FROM HAITIAN JACK!!! Tupac refused to listen to them. Tupac then opened his BIG MOUTH and told Haitian Jack that Biggie told him to stay away from him and Haitian Jack ROBBED BIGGIE ( some friend Tupac is 🙄) Art of Dialogue needs to stop CAPPING on here and tell the FULL STORY not bits and pieces to make Pac look like a GOD. Yes I'm a Biggie fan and I have a Biggie bias but my point stands that Biggie & Pac are human and both are flawed people so Art needs to stop telling bits and pieces of stories to paint a narrative about people who Pac had issues with

And thats why i respect tf outta 50 cent. He didnt give af who Jimmy was or where he was from

#MAKAVELITHEDON 👑✊🏼

3:50 SHOUT-OUT 2 MY NIGGA WOOH FROM DIRTY JERZ.....NIGGA HAD DA 2G LAC ESCALADE N 99 WIT DA 24s......MY NIGGA STUNNA FROM JESUP.....ARMORED TRUCK TECHNICIAN......BRO WAS DOIN THE MONEY PHONE N 97......RECORDS & RECEIPTS.....PICS & LIFE IMPRISONMENT.....2 SUCCESSFUL THO'.....

Tupacs recklessness and his sensative actions was his downfall and anyone's association to him. Blaming Biggie was a weak move.

Mu is definitely one of the few people to believe his stories when it comes to pac.

Mutah always showing love to jersey. "973 Essex County"

This one thing I will disagree with . He may not been extorted by Jack who is an informant . But pac was extorted by his own handlers. Most ppl won't talk certain things on video.

Shoutout my uncle jack still ballin in DR 🇩🇴

Napo ain’t lying in Nj we like they can G.O toooo !! It’s whatever with us !! We built like Ice Giants from “ The Thor movie 🎥 “ We cold 🥶 💜!! On Go !! 😂

JERZY !

Jimmy wanted to manage pac . Wanted him to sign to uptown

0:14 WHERE THE HELL IS CAPTAIN JACK AT....

Jersey 🙄 stop it homie

It's friendly extortion alot of rapper that was coming thru nyc 🗽 b4 the east n west shit was getting extorted even tupac

2Pac- U can B Touched

Yea jack wasnt extorting him at the time jack had more money

❤

Pac energy was different he was stand up no matter what it was

He’s tap dancing like rappers do talking about Suge Knight when he was free

Jacc did set up the case pac caught from o girl

Jimmy Henchman’s Son now manages “Ice Spice”. I know his dad proud 🙏.

Biggie and puffy were being extorted by Haitian jack

Pac put himself in these situations and was reckless before the Biggie beef. He had that issue in the bay with that little kid quaid dying

Haters go Hate 💯

Just because Pac did something in one situation, you can't say he never got extorted because you don't know he could've started carrying his gun because he was getting extorted and wasn't going for it no more, but STOP telling us what couldn't happen, because a lot of stuff did happen and you didn't think that it would happen either

JERSEY!!

I hate when ppl commit on things they have no clue about just be talking out the side of their mouth

What if he got a gun to your head? Then your weak because you value your life more then your money or ego?

I recall that Tupac was screaming at jimmy henchmen over some money they owed tupac for A song he did with Lil Shawn …

#jersey

When he said I’m from Jersey I started singing “I’m From N-E-W Jers where plenty murders occur” (RIP Kadafi) I hope Napoleon never stops doing these interviews! His interviews and the BG Knocc Out ones are my fav.

Yeap this is why pac got touched..pac actin out bishop in real life. Pac waz An Actor he waa tye george Jefferson of hip hop 😆

Salute from your Winston-Salem, NC family.. 1st Southern Chapter of The Black Panther Party (1969) #Yipes #TreGameBitch 💯💯💯💯💯

Pac did not consider himself a punk, untouchable, or the best rapper. Pac had a gift and was great at being himself, resulting in us talking about him to this day. Pac was an amazing person.

JERSEY WAS NEVER TOUGHER THE. NYC JUST BEING HONEST YOU GOT SOME REAL DUDES BUT NYC NIGGAS IS DIFFERENT TRUST ME

But he not, like me you not taking frome but I think about my kids... Now

Well pau casterlano ran new york. Don carlo before him. Gog and magog run it overall

Pac brought a lot of this shit on himself, the fucked up part is,Pac rapped about all the shit in his rhymes,how to move through the streets, payback,retailiation,his song death round the corner was all about retaliation, and hes got loads mores dont have to worry u can ride with me now track etc, so he knew the streets...unless he wanted to go out the way he did who knows,cus even if he rushed orlando the shit that happened after could have been prevented if he was on his gangsta shit and told the guys around him to stay on point and they all moved militant and lowkey, but instead he chose to drive through the strip blaring music hanging out the window, thats inviting trouble am sorry especially after what u did...Pac knew waaaay better than that.

Pac got a song saying "you can be touched" of course he knew he wasn't invincible but he knew he was chosen

Who Shot Pac in Quat Studios? Did anywhere know it??

Salute to Napoleon! Real Outlaw and Tupac historian, he keeping all the facts in check and he will be remembered in history for a long time

Haitian Jack and Jimmy Henchman definitely didn't extort 2Pac but their intentions were clear which was to manipulate his reactions to situations that lead to what sadly happened in 96.

I like how people act like when they was 22-25 and wasn’t hanging around unsavory characters. The Good Die Young. RIP PAC

I can't stand all this dissing pac. The man is dead let him rest in peace and respect his legacy. So what pac wasn't a gangster so fckn what why does that even matter. Pac was a real dude one of the Realist and most loyal people you'll ever would come across and he had no fear for anyone. He was a hustler and made money 💰 and was a provider for his entire family and he would die for the people he loved that in my eyes is a real gangster that's my definition of being a gangster. No extortion robbing killing selling drugs and snitching...Haitian jack was all of these things that's not no gangster in my eyes, that's a coward....and in the words of 2pac, "a coward dies a thousand deaths a soldier dies but once". RIP PAC 🙏

1:12 WHAT ABOUT PAC OWING JIMMY HENCHMAN MONEY

The JDL was extorting 2pac.

RIP Biggie u died for no reason .. Pac was scare of Haitian Jack instead he kept coming at you 😢

I’ve watched a few of Hatian Jack’s interviews and he strikes me as the type that if he did have any hostile motive towards Pac… he would’ve been came out and said it. He even admitted to trying to rob Biz Markie in broad daylight and Biz Markie was still alive at the time. Why would he need to continue to lie about PAC when he is already one of the most hated men in the history of hip hop.

Tupac should stayed with his own coast gangsters. Thug life n outlawz

A lot of excuses for 2pac's behavior !

When Napoleon said that all I can think is bout the song. “U can he touched”
