That's why Pac said "now u tell me who won, I see them they run"

2pac was applying pressure! Out selling everybody easyily! Real poet, real revolutionary, Real Nigga all the way around! 💯

I can listen to Gene tell these stories all day.....he just takes you there

I wish there was footage of all these unseen moments in Hip-Hop history

Gene explaining the 90’s version of…..”PULL UP!”……👌🏿😉

Finally someone calls out the bs of that tv show and the cops claiming they solved it. Thank you Gene

Pac had Puff running and Biggie was hanging the phone up on Puff 😂😂😂😂😂

I can imagine seeing Puff running all around in between cars & vans trying to hide haha

That is a fact... Pac went on stage and BIG performed... I was there personally in the building. I almost got into beef at Venice Beach all because of my Yankee fitted cap and Tims...smh. We were so young and stupid.

Facts 💯 FACTS Gene telling these stories makes you feel like his version is the best.

I like how Gene explains and breaks down stuff, dude is the realist.

Ever since gene started his show years ago I’ve believed him and I haven’t changed my mind about him yet.

Damn! What does it matter if 2pac saw puff run or not? All 2pac knew was that puff ran. So gene confirms it to be true.

This is my childhood. Man it seem like yesterday when all this happened. I was in the 9th grade when all this happened and when they passed. Man my 2 favs. Hip Hop wouldn’t be the same if they were alive. But GENE TELLING THE TRUTH. His story hasn’t changed in 20 plus years!

I really hope they look back now and see how silly all that shit was 🤦🏾‍♂️

These young men didn’t stand a chance when the elders acted like kids!!!

Man this man stories never ever changed one bit

Gene confirms that Puffy ran. " They see us, they run "- Tupac .

This man Gene is telling nothing but factz 💯💯

I always enjoy listening to gene.

It's sad that 2 great Hip Hop Legends had to die over this foolishness and immaturity.They both would have been so much more if they lived past this.puffy definitely is responsible for biggies death.

I appreciate your candour and honesty G!

Shout to big gene for never changing his story no matter how many times he tells it🫡

Puffy set Big Up , that's crazy

God bless Gene for given this generation those amazing beautiful stories about BADBOYS RECORDS & DEATH ROW RECORD'S concrete histories. God bless you big brother, I wish I have a hand shake from 2pac Shakur. Rest in peace soldier @2pacshakur

I really respect me some Gene Deal. Firstly, civil servant and he took his side hussles just as serious as his main gig.

Gene said the ‘97 Soul Train Awards…LOL!! Shit, if I saw ‘Pac in ‘97, I’d have ran, too…’cuz I either saw ‘Pac’s ghost or ‘Pac in zombie form.

I don't know why people make a big deal about Diddy running. He aint a gangster and aint never claim to be one. He is what he is..

The only award 2pac ever won in his life and they decided not to show it. Shame

I have watched everything involving the Biggie/Pac feud and I thought City of Lies was great. Murder Rap tried to make Russell Poole look crazy but he just cared about solving the case for Ms Wallace

They call him Puffy cause he running out of breath running 🏃‍♀️

Gene always speak facts

Gene: Pay me or I'll tell it all Puff: 👎 Gene:🏃🏾‍♂️

cam capone and art of dialogue be back to back with each other lol

I was actually at that award show and saw them arguing. This shit just blew my mind... I've never heard anyone tell it until now, but me and my boy left class and snuck into this award show at Santa Monica civic auditorium around 3 in the afternoon. I met Russel Simmons and a gang of other industry legends. Walking out of the show, the limos were lined up, and Pac was out the sunroof looking back talking shit to Puff. Crazy man. Puff was yelling at Pac telling him to move his shit. I saw puff get out, but i was being ushered to move away from the limos, and didnt see puff after that. I remember that afternoon like it was yesterday.

RIP.... to BIG and PAC. Always been a fan of Both. But It's been soooo many years and people are Still talking about all of this. These stories need to be laid to rest. Back when all of this was going on... I was in my 20s. Now I'm 50. I'm really tired of hearing about it. Its like when Dame Dash keeps talking about Jay. "Let it go and move on in life". ✌️

As “entertaining” as these stories are, as someone that witnessed these events unfold as a hip-hop fan, it was a low point for the culture.

Maaan this Brotha has a photographic memory. Much Appreciated

It's crazy how people got channels just to talk about Pac. I don't think any Hip Hop artist will ever make this type of impact on the world again. Pac is the best who ever done it not just musically but his personality got people talking about him since 1996!

Pac saw puffy running but gene thought they didn't see puffy running..

I'm going to need Gene Deal's testimony in form of a signed affidavit.

BET shunned pac and let Biggie perform at the awards show because of what pac did and that would of been a negative strike against BET and the community if pac had his way. WHOA.

Gene was real proud to be protecting Puffy, all the while knowing about all his dirt😮

He wasn’t on stage to get no damn award you can clearly see on the footage they called Tupac name and said they were accepting the award on Tupac behalf while his song was playing in the background. 1996 Soul Train Award

It’s crazy how this was 27 years ago and people still trying to expect him to remember everything detail for detail 🤷🏽😅😅 (comments section)

Biggie as usual stood firm and told everyone not scared of pac or his crew. Biggie a true legend and the nicest emcee of all time.

They’re both Dead for nothing..And that’s the sad part it’s all for nothing..Rest In Eternal peace to both of those brothers…

Puffy was like 💨 🥾Im out!!!

He’s a runner 🏃🏽‍♂️ He’s a Trackstar😂💀

Biggie did have on Timberland shoes at that 1996 Soul Train award look at the footage

I am CRACKIN UP😂!!!! Gene would have made a BIG MISTAKE!!! If Gene had killed or gotten killed, puff would have let Gene's family STARVE TO DEATH!!! NOTE he NEVER said if puff made that suit or NOT! And I believe Napoleon and any other people that say they saw Puff running. ©2022

Gene is the Truth

Young & Dumb. That’s the best way to sum that night up.

C Gutter the releast out of Junior Mafia, should have been in LA with BIG

He said "keefer D wasn't even with us, at that time"... don't let that go over your head

I was 15 years old in 96 I remember all these I'm from Watts CA

Back then everyone ran when suge was involved. That’s smart self preservation

Great interview thanks

I Love Gene man he tell it how it is! he don’t disrespect 2pac or Biggie, and his story never changes. Everything he been saying has been coming to Light now also! 👀💯💯

He’s talking TRUTH

I'm surprised that he can remember all of these stories for 25 to 26 years ago, that's a great memory.

I Think one day that picture will come out!

Should b way more likes with this real content

Man... all that drama back then sound mad petty!

This is a damn shame our own people can't even gather together without one or two ignorant fools saying or doing something to provoke violence. My advice to all, distance yourself from these type of people who act like thugs with no civility or respect for life. These Devils who look for trouble are no good and will get you killed over dumb sh_t. Sometimes your own people can be your worst enemy.😐

Respect!!!

It's crazy, I just seen the vlad interview with "Un" Rivera, who was business partners and was with Biggie everyday. The stories match up. "Un" even mentioned that biggie performed in big gene shoes that night. I know that big Gene is telling the truth because his story has never changed. Shout out to bro for speaking the truth.

How exhausting it must be to live continuously in the past....To recall so many negative events must be unhealthy.

At some point Diddy wanted to give up on rap game after the demise of the Notorious BIG.

Dude behind the camera say cheese 😂💪💯Shawn Cotton just listen 🎧

That was the Soul Train Awards. Art you got it right in the video but the title says Source Awards

SHOT OUT TO BIG GENE...STORY NEVER CHANGED.

I'm sad that Biggie and PAC weren't able to have a grown man conversation ( by themselves) to discuss how they were being manipulated by the industry ( the people) around them. They could have worked it out as men and collaborated to make another great era of music!

Bruh your interviews are CRAZY good! Keep it up man!

“I see them, they run” - PAC spit so many authentic lyrics

This a classic right here gene and art of dialogue

I see them, they run hahahaha. 2pac wasnt lying.

Gene tells like 75% truths

Everybody is a hero in their own story. Puff is with you, his security... and you saying he ran. His with you...his security

Seems like Pac knew Biggie had nothing to do with it and was always trying to cause a scene.

This cat arguing with the person he's interviewing, talking about what Napoleon said...

Gene Deal loves to make himself look bigger than life. Trust he was running right there with Puff.

This shit has got to be some of the craziest shit ever in that moment. They were was supposed to make good historical music and a lot of money. You never hear about a Death Leopard/ZZ Top or Kiss/Aerosmith beef, it was way too much!

It was the Soul Train Awards. Not The Source Awards.

They didn't know that C-Gutta kidnap kids. 😆

We’re the only people that do shit like this each other. Then all that craziest at some great events celebrating talent.

Puff probably didn’t even hear the take care of my family part he probably was already gone😂😂😂😂😂

Lol Puffy was safe with his security, but decided to take off running smh. Then later that night gets upset, saying “I don’t care if Big gotta die, I don’t care if Pac gotta die, or Suge Knight gotta go to jail but something gotta change”? You played a big part in the escalation. Now when it’s getting hot, you afraid? Miss me with that.

I read that pac went on stage and he got the mic from LL cool J. I believe they were no longer taping the awards. Big had already left. Thats the only way they let Pac in the building once Biggie left. When pac was speaking receiving his award they cut off Pacs mic and so the rest of the audience that was left (because a lot of people left) due to the show most likely being over couldn't hear pac. They just saw his lips moving. Pac was pissed. I read this from someone that was at the event that worked at the venue that night and saw it happened. I read this about a decade ago

U gotta kp this dude on ur show lol he spilling da beans

Puffy let’s be honest you a punk or you would see me wit gloves! -Pac

The art of Dialogue, Do you always interview thru a TV screen and not in person?

The story he's talking about when Pac was yelling out the window, Ever notice the guy in the back seat is wearing a NY hat 😂lol

Bruhh lol I Wanna Hear Puff Talk About This Running Part 😭😭

Puffy running seems to be a constant lol

gene tell tha realist stories

I be trying to get into your videos but you really are like a Pac STAN or maybe even a West Coast super fan.

Typo Art. You put Source Awards.

This would have been good on Chappell Show a Charlie Murphy story.

Gene Deal is my cat💯, you can tell he real. And wither his is a die hard STL Cardinals fan, or he from my hometown of STL💯
