Napoleon seems like he was a real loyal soldier to Tupac and the Outlawz. Even after his conversion to Islam and putting his past life behind him, he still brings these past stories up with a strong sense of loyalty he maintains today.
A lot of people don't realize Napoleon's parents were murdered when he was a kid. He met Tupac when he was like 14 and when he told Tupac about seeing his parents killed Tupac cried. Then Tupac basically adopted Napoleon and treated him like a son.
@@yungtyro1424 wasn't talking bout Napoleon. Napoleon lost his family when he was 2/3 years old. "Last night my buddy lost his whole family.." Pac said that in 93. Napoleon was not 3 years old in 93 lol

I respect Napoleon and I’m a big Pac fan. But what he fails to understand is that he went at Mobb Deep because of the beef they had with Snoop and the Dogg Pound. Mobb Deep had no problem with Pac. When he’s saying Mobb Deep said “Thug life we still living it” they weren’t talking about Pac. Pac was showing loyalty to Snoop so that’s why he went at Mobb Deep. And no, Drop a Gem was done before Pac died and was getting burn on the radio before he was shot. When Pac was hit, they had the radio take it off. Saying things like this is the reason why people think Mobb Deep was dissing Pac after he died and that’s not true. What Napoleon also may not know is that years later, Prodigy became close with Emoneybaggs and Majesty who was real close to Pac and Prodigy became a Pac fan when he discovered his notebook. Peace to all the fallen soldiers; Pac, Prodigy and Emoneybaggs.
It was 96 Drop a gem was released about a week before pac passed but back then songs took time to circulate so for the west coast camp it would seem like it was after Pac died The confusion is cos the timing was so close
You absolutely right that was in P book and then Majesty confirmed the whole shit. Idk how pac caught that thug life we still living it ad lib its hard to hear on the track most ppl wouldn't catch that. If pac never fell out with stretch he prob would have ended up having songs and being tight with Mobb deep thru Majesty and bags.
“I got a little question for that ni@@a that made Paparazi .. if you ain’t in the rap game for the mafu@kin cash mane then what is your mafu@kin purpose?”
The Mobb Deep & Pac beef should've never happened but Mobb Deep wanted to be heard and felt the need to step into a battle they had no part of. Pac was in prison telling the guard who knew Mobb Deep he had love for them yet they still decided to diss Pac. It's funny though because in the end Prodigy realized how much him and Pac had in common, even EMoneyBags who knew them both told Prodigy he would've squashed their beef. They even gave him a journal of Pac's to have. Prodigy even said Pac was a powerful cat and he doesn't believe his death was gang related, you can look that up on RUclips when he was driving around the city.

Lets look at Tupac's life. (Deep comment copied from another video) - Spent his childhood running from the FBI due to the actions of the Shakurs. His step father Mutulu Shakur[3] who was on the ten most wanted list for domestic terrorism. His own mother, spent time in prison on a trial for plotting to blow up New York police departments with the infamous panther 21. His God father was geronimo pratt[4] who was targeted by the FBI illegal Cointelpro. And his god mother is Assata Shakur[5] who is also wanted for domestic terrorism, that Tupacs step-dad broke her out of prison and is now living in Cuba. Bush in 2003 put a $1 million reward on her head during the revival of targeting domestic terrorists at the start of the war on terror - At 16 became the youngest national Chairman of the New African panthers, himself then getting FBI attention. His FBI file, only 104 pages out of 4000 are released to the public, the rest 3896 pages are censored for "National Security". - Quit the New African Panthers when he believed the Nation of Islam infiltrated it, the next leader after Shakur was surprise surprise, a member of the NOI. - Got into a constant war of words with the Nation of Islam throughout his rap career. They would follow him everywhere, trying to make it look like they where associated with him. To get his approval, because he was a Shakur. Tupac hated the Nation of Islam because his family where connected to Malcolm X, and his family blame the Nation for his assassination. - Became famous to the general public when released 2pacalyspe now, becoming the legendary rapper. Immediately denounced by the Vice President Dan Quayle due to its anti-american political content. It was obvious they knew who he was by his second name, even if the average rap fan didn't. - Gets mentioned by name at the Republican Nation Convention From the help of Mutulu Shakur from prison, starts a movement entitled "Thug Life". Tupac helps enforce truces between rival gangs, including the bloods and the crips under "Thug Life". The plan was to get them to stop killing each other, unite, police their communities, and eventually fight the government. He was seducing gang bangers and trying to turn them into soldiers. After that his life turns to shit and seems to be getting arrested and targeted by police on a weekly basis, most of which is was baseless, but people only remember him getting arrested, not acquitted. His "out of control" image increases. - Two Police officers are beating a black motorist. Tupac approaches them and they fire shots at him. Tupac goes back to his car and gets his gun and returns fire, hitting both officers, one in the thigh and one in the buttocks. The charges are dropped against Tupac when it turns out both officers are intoxicated, and the gun they used to fire against Tupac was stolen from an evidence locker. Everyone else just remembers "Tupac shot two cops". - With the help of Dan Quayle and other Republicans, they persuade family members of slain cops to sue Tupac over his music, stating that his music causes the violence. Seriously, here is even a court video of one of the cases against him in 1995 - The republicans convince Time Warner to drop interscope records due to Tupac being one of their artists. - Two criminals, Haitian Jack and James "Henchman" Rosemand try to extort Tupac. He tells them to fuck off and ends up on their hit list. Both later turn out to be working for the FBI since the late 80s until the late 90s. - Haitian Jack (The FBI Agent) introduces Tupac to a woman, the same woman accuses Tupac of rape and sexual assault. Tupac gets shot by the orders of James Rosemand (another FBI Agent) 5 times in 1994, survives. - Goes to prison for sexual assault, but found innocent of rape. Released after 11 months when new evidence helping prove his innocence is found. The prosecution states they "lost it" and it was not deliberate. - The Jewish Defense League (JDL) threaten to kill Tupac due to his familys politics. He tells them to fuck off. This is in Tupacs (released) FBI files. - Tupac refuses to remain silent about Jimmy Henchman and Haitian Jack, announces them as FBI informers, and publicly humiliates any other rappers being extorted by them, or associated with them (Biggie, Puffy, etc)
Yall read that shit lol pac is a icon we know his story already unless you just love to hate pac like all the pac haters that jump from channel to channel of pac shit just to talk bull
You are right...it was on a Clue tape...had a Nas and Nature freestyle...about two more Mobb Deep songs..and it came out a month before Pac passed away
Drop a Gem On Em was released when 2pac was alive but when 2pac got shot, Prodigy called up the radio stations telling them to take that track off the radio out of respect to 2pac's mom and to 2pac. Prodigy said that he liked Hit Em Up and said Hail Mary was his type of song and even though Keep Ya Head Up wasn't his type of song he respected it and thought it was cool
@@Kenny-Alpha exactly, i could see if he was from Cali, but you from NJ and don't know Mobb Deep in and out & Pac was bumping them & "which one was P" Smh took a slight jab at P in my book

Pac show mad love to The East Coast artists and he shouted out every last one of them on his "Me Against The World" Album. I remember like it was yesterday.
Tupac was alive and well when Mobb Deep released "Drop a Gem on Em" And Tupac initiated the Mobb Deep beef. "Following Shakur's death shortly after the song's release, Mobb Deep pulled "Drop a Gem on 'Em" from radio airplay out of respect for Shakur and his family." Quote is from Wikipedia. It's kinda strange how Napoleon don't remember certain facts especially since Mobb Deep were the only east coast rappers to release a diss track.
@@K00lbreeze1 facts... But ppl wanna ignore it because they wanna go with the "Pac was untouchable and Mobb Deep were scared to reply" story. The Mobb recorded that record as soon as they heard Hit Em Up and it was on radio in August. Unfortunate that he passed but its truth
Where do you people get these fake timelines......LEAD SINGLE....really?? A diss track was the lead single from Hell on Earth that dropped in Mid Nov 96? Bitch ass rappers and even Puffy put shit out after PAC died.....that is why Biggie flew to Cali in first class and returned in the cargo hold.
Out here in Chicago, early summer 96', radio station 106 jamz was playing drop the gem on em before the Hell on earth album came out. It was most definitely before Pac's death.
I remember meeting Napoleon at a club kalled "The Rock" in Tucson,Az he performed 2pac's Makavili "Bomb 1st" with his verse on there & I Believe he made a longer version with him rapping dissing Puffy & Bad Boy,He was at da Bar in da club I was grabbing a drink & kame across him & he gave me dapp & I told him how much of a Pac fan I was since da Beginning of his career & told him dat was a tight song of Da longer version on 2pac's Bomb 1st & was like Hell Yeah! Fuk BadBoy Dis is BadBoy Killa & ran in2 in another club in Tucson & said Wats up,He was koo dude he wasn't cocky & arrogant,I Believe da clothing store he was talking about was "Hot Gear"
I’ve been watching almost every interview with this man in it and HE’S BEEN A TRUE FRIEND INDEED TO PAC! His stories never iffy to me it’s always from the heart and from him being there. You can tell when someone is being truthful and this man never lied since his first interview he respectfully keeps Pac’s name alive with upmost respect. Normally, I be so in defense for Snoop but to watch his interviews and how he is towards Pac it’s like he never was Pac’s friend to begin with. It’s like he was just bragging bout Tupac and somebody finally said something. And that person was Napoleon. I’ll always have respect for Napoleon bc not once since Tupac’s death did he switch up and he always made us remember the fondness of Tupac. The world tried to make Tupac into this “thug” and a man who didn’t care but when you listen to Napoleon and how he breaks everything down, Tupac was just like your favorite ass cousin, brother, uncle.
Shit I feel I'm the hardest in hip-hop and I ain't even in the industry. So what you saying. Definitely can tell you ain't from any streets because almost every real one thinks they the hardest at some point in their life and even when they get older lol. That's normal Lil dude.

Plus they were only a duo, it’s not like talking about a crew like the Wu-tang clan that has many members. It’s okay to not be a fan but don’t come off like a hater.

Napolean told a different story in his DVD then what he told in this interview. He said Mobb Deep came to them and told them he aint got no problem with Pac. And Napolean only had a few people with him. He did not have all those people he claim.
I hate when people assume that because you are in a place that you don’t live, you are at a disadvantage! Just because it appears like someone is all by their lonesome, doesn’t mean they don’t have an entourage waiting in the cut! Also, you never know who that person may know. Mobb Deep could have had tons of dudes waiting to rush them🤷🏾♂️
Lol..you definitely not from the streets....you never gonna have more people than a state or town...You can't win in someone else's backyard..that's never been debated

Napoleon is one of my favorite members of the Outlaws, Good to see he found his calling and grew into a man spiritually ✨
P stepped up like a real one rip
Drop a gem on em was released before Pac died. Mobb Deep pulled the song off the radio when he got shot in Vegas.
Much love to the entire Outlaw family. One of the worse day of my life when I heard 2Pac passed.
Love Napoleon when he gets on the platforms!!

This is how you know he is a 90"s Irvington NJ dude. He was really willing to shoot a fair one (have a fair fight) that's how we did it. And you both would walk away and may the two of them live on and not be mortal enemies. RESPECT
Growing up in jersey thats how it was back in the 80's & 90's.
Make it trend and go viral
Maybe these fools will follow the trend
Shouts to Muta for putting this out there. Big man shit
So this dude T booked Mobb Deep for a a show then tried to set them up, roll on them with guns.. snake move 100% . Good thing Napoleon was real enough to take a different approach. RIP to 2 PAC & Prodigy. Peace and Love
Not a snake move it’s called a set up only snake if they was homies.
It ain’t a snake move. Mobb deep was the ones doing snake shit dissin pac. Talk about that
Thats why u gotta be selective whenever somebody tryna book you for shows!!
Learn how to War
@cliff simz they said e-40 had booked Biggie for a show out west and they said goons tried to clap them but somebody called 40 up and it was squash!!
I love that outlawz went around handling all the rappers that had beef after pac died
Lets look at Tupac's life. (Deep comment copied from another video)
- Spent his childhood running from the FBI due to the actions of the Shakurs. His step father Mutulu Shakur[3] who was on the ten most wanted list for domestic terrorism. His own mother, spent time in prison on a trial for plotting to blow up New York police departments with the infamous panther 21. His God father was geronimo pratt[4] who was targeted by the FBI illegal Cointelpro. And his god mother is Assata Shakur[5] who is also wanted for domestic terrorism, that Tupacs step-dad broke her out of prison and is now living in Cuba. Bush in 2003 put a $1 million reward on her head during the revival of targeting domestic terrorists at the start of the war on terror
- At 16 became the youngest national Chairman of the New African panthers, himself then getting FBI attention. His FBI file, only 104 pages out of 4000 are released to the public, the rest 3896 pages are censored for "National Security".
- Quit the New African Panthers when he believed the Nation of Islam infiltrated it, the next leader after Shakur was surprise surprise, a member of the NOI.
- Got into a constant war of words with the Nation of Islam throughout his rap career. They would follow him everywhere, trying to make it look like they where associated with him. To get his approval, because he was a Shakur. Tupac hated the Nation of Islam because his family where connected to Malcolm X, and his family blame the Nation for his assassination.
- Became famous to the general public when released 2pacalyspe now, becoming the legendary rapper. Immediately denounced by the Vice President Dan Quayle due to its anti-american political content. It was obvious they knew who he was by his second name, even if the average rap fan didn't.
- Gets mentioned by name at the Republican Nation Convention
From the help of Mutulu Shakur from prison, starts a movement entitled "Thug Life". Tupac helps enforce truces between rival gangs, including the bloods and the crips under "Thug Life". The plan was to get them to stop killing each other, unite, police their communities, and eventually fight the government. He was seducing gang bangers and trying to turn them into soldiers. After that his life turns to shit and seems to be getting arrested and targeted by police on a weekly basis, most of which is was baseless, but people only remember him getting arrested, not acquitted. His "out of control" image increases.
- Two Police officers are beating a black motorist. Tupac approaches them and they fire shots at him. Tupac goes back to his car and gets his gun and returns fire, hitting both officers, one in the thigh and one in the buttocks. The charges are dropped against Tupac when it turns out both officers are intoxicated, and the gun they used to fire against Tupac was stolen from an evidence locker. Everyone else just remembers "Tupac shot two cops".
- With the help of Dan Quayle and other Republicans, they persuade family members of slain cops to sue Tupac over his music, stating that his music causes the violence. Seriously, here is even a court video of one of the cases against him in 1995
- The republicans convince Time Warner to drop interscope records due to Tupac being one of their artists.
- Two criminals, Haitian Jack and James "Henchman" Rosemand try to extort Tupac. He tells them to fuck off and ends up on their hit list. Both later turn out to be working for the FBI since the late 80s until the late 90s.
- Haitian Jack (The FBI Agent) introduces Tupac to a woman, the same woman accuses Tupac of rape and sexual assault.
Tupac gets shot by the orders of James Rosemand (another FBI Agent) 5 times in 1994, survives.
- Goes to prison for sexual assault, but found innocent of rape. Released after 11 months when new evidence helping prove his innocence is found. The prosecution states they "lost it" and it was not deliberate.
- The Jewish Defense League (JDL) threaten to kill Tupac due to his familys politics. He tells them to fuck off. This is in Tupacs (released) FBI files.
- Tupac refuses to remain silent about Jimmy Henchman and Haitian Jack, announces them as FBI informers, and publicly humiliates any other rappers being extorted by them, or associated with them (Biggie, Puffy, etc)
Where the proof that pac didnt fck with the NOI?

Get at me dog from the late and great X was the one he could of missed.
He was fruity
Looking back, most of those "beefs" from that era were stupid as hell.
Drop a Gem On Em was released when 2pac was alive but when 2pac got shot, Prodigy called up the radio stations telling them to take that track off the radio out of respect to 2pac's mom and to 2pac. Prodigy said that he liked Hit Em Up and said Hail Mary was his type of song and even though Keep Ya Head Up wasn't his type of song he respected it and thought it was cool
Prodigy was a real one.
damn never knew he said that
Pac first and foremost was a loyal dude and good friend. Cant deny that.
Foh, you don't know who Prodigy is exactly... "He the one that died?"

Smart Play Napoleon, That Was Apart Of Your Growth An Development Brother
Pac show mad love to The East Coast artists and he shouted out every last one of them on his "Me Against The World" Album. I remember like it was yesterday.
Tupac was alive and well when Mobb Deep released "Drop a Gem on Em" And Tupac initiated the Mobb Deep beef. "Following Shakur's death shortly after the song's release, Mobb Deep pulled "Drop a Gem on 'Em" from radio airplay out of respect for Shakur and his family." Quote is from Wikipedia. It's kinda strange how Napoleon don't remember certain facts especially since Mobb Deep were the only east coast rappers to release a diss track.
Was just gonna say that. I heard Pac was gonna relpy with " Winter Wars" but passed before he could.
Nah he was dead by the time it dropped.
@@SAJRHAWKS Release date for Drop a Gem on Em was August 25 1996. Tupac passed away September 13 1996
@@K00lbreeze1 facts... But ppl wanna ignore it because they wanna go with the "Pac was untouchable and Mobb Deep were scared to reply" story. The Mobb recorded that record as soon as they heard Hit Em Up and it was on radio in August. Unfortunate that he passed but its truth
@tha1ne25 The promotion single for Hell on earth was drop a gem on em. It was already out, they could not get it from their album.
“Drop A Gem On ‘Em” was on mixtapes when Pac was alive.
It was on New York radio when Pac was alive also.

That song Drop A Gem On Em came out before Pac died. It was being played on the Radio, while Pac was alive, but when Pac got killed it was removed.
Love this brudda, can just see he tells the truth on both sides
Drop a Gem on Em came out on August 25th 1996. Two weeks before Pac was killed. My assumption is it went under Pac's radar.
Makes sense
Even if Pac heard that song or not, he came at Mobb Deep in unreleased songs after his death.
Dmx was on pacs radar
@@dmoney5024 Really?
@@intenseninja82 no, really
Napoleon is a stand up dude💯
I’ve been watching almost every interview with this man in it and HE’S BEEN A TRUE FRIEND INDEED TO PAC! His stories never iffy to me it’s always from the heart and from him being there. You can tell when someone is being truthful and this man never lied since his first interview he respectfully keeps Pac’s name alive with upmost respect.
Normally, I be so in defense for Snoop but to watch his interviews and how he is towards Pac it’s like he never was Pac’s friend to begin with. It’s like he was just bragging bout Tupac and somebody finally said something. And that person was Napoleon. I’ll always have respect for Napoleon bc not once since Tupac’s death did he switch up and he always made us remember the fondness of Tupac. The world tried to make Tupac into this “thug” and a man who didn’t care but when you listen to Napoleon and how he breaks everything down, Tupac was just like your favorite ass cousin, brother, uncle.
This dude was a kid back then…leave it to him he was the hardest cat in hip hop…
Shit I feel I'm the hardest in hip-hop and I ain't even in the industry. So what you saying. Definitely can tell you ain't from any streets because almost every real one thinks they the hardest at some point in their life and even when they get older lol. That's normal Lil dude.

“All I want is money , fuck the fame” is the correct lyric.
Ok, Napoleon lost me when he said “prodigy is the one that died, right?”
I understand not being a fan of the guy but everyone knew prodigy. Prodigy is way more famous than any member of the Outlawz. Plus they were only a duo, it’s not like talking about a crew like the Wu-tang clan that has many members. It’s okay to not be a fan but don’t come off like a hater.
@Terence Johunkin how old are you?
Lol
Every PAC fan knows about the outlaws.! PAC is known world wide like Michael Jackson. Ive never even heard about Prodigy..lol
Such a humble soul
One thing I can say pac was real big on loyalty, they don’t make them like that no more rip King
He needs to understand that Pac aimed at Mobb Deep and the East Coast with “Hit Em Up” and Prodigy responded. Prodigy wasn’t having it.
"Drop A Gem On Em" came out a week before Pac was shot. With the original lyrics saying Pac's name, which is no longer available.
Back at it again another GREAT interview 👑💐
Can Napoleon tell us what Prodigy said when he confronted him?? was hoping he would tell us what Prodigy said to him when they spoke on Pac.
Dope interview napoleon
Pac must’ve been a real insecure dude to always think someone was dissing him.
U sound like a bitch. I mean, with a name like liberachi and using the word "insecure", you must like beef in the tailpipe.
Great interview Art U ask questions I would've asked them..
Mobb deep released drop a gem days before pac passed and they pulled the record once it picked up steam on radio

I hate when people assume that because you are in a place that you don’t live, you are at a disadvantage!
