      Vee _Vee Absolutely. Never really was in to Tupac, but , loved Biggie. I think it was more of the staged image he portrayed. I will say that telephone conversation was pure gold. It’s unfortunate we don’t have both of them here today, hard to stomach.

      I guarantee you he was unhappy at Deathrow. He knew he was being robbed by suge that's why he fired his lawyer right before he passed away cause he also represented Suge. That being said though Tupac knew not to bite the hand that feeds you. No one, literally no one came to help him while he was locked away. So when Suge came in tupac knew he was indebted to him for a long time. How you sell 6 million records in 6 months and die with 7 grand in your account.

Intelligent / Smart, genuine, funny and still more gangster than any other rappers out there. His plan is just not from this world.
    Man, Pac ... Rest in Peace, brother, you are *the greatest rapper ever*. Support Pac's messages, don't support the phonies - you know who i mean. This asshole who called himself "I'm not 2Pac, i'm the new Pac!" live on stage. This phone call is raw shit, golden shit ... Sanyika is dope! Loved the talk between them. Thank you for posting this, made my day. Unreleased stuff of Pac is always the best, no matter how long or short it may be.

      Pac was all talk like this recording, he had no discipline like MLK or Malcolm X. He lived long enough to make a difference but he was to engaged in his demons. While he's alienating that Chicago gang killing of Yummy, when he was involved in a youth killing in his old neighborhood in Cali. To be honest, Pac existence was more negative than positive in the black community. Tell me what he actually did that enhanced communities or people? He had a god giving talent and didn't make the best of it.
      The blind leading the blind and he influenced a generation of negativities. He had a natural ability to influence people and he neglected the blessing and push negativity.

    #1 I love the fact that this guy was asking Tupac about a book he read. #2 I love the fact that they told each other how much they loved one another before they hung up. #3 This whole conversation just confirmed to me how courageous Tupac really was, he really loved his community & black people as whole. I can't even find a man right now who can even pick up a book to read let alone talk about it. Also, a man today can't even tell another man he loves him without being accused of being gay! SMDH!
    See, I was 17 years old when Tupac was murdered & I was a fan since 13. I never could wrap my head around the fact that Tupac was killed due to gang violence or a east coast vs. west coast beef. I remembered that Tupac came from a black panther family & most his messages were inspirational & empowering. What really won me over as fan is when he did "Brenda's got a baby" & "Keep ya head up".
    As a young teenage woman, that was the first time I ever heard a rapper speak about woman in such a positive light. I love the fact that he was courageous about it because he didn't give a damn what anyone thought about what he had to say. I became instantly in love & I was crushed when I heard of his death. Now that I'm older I've been researching Tupac's life & now I know for a fact that he wasn't killed by gang violence, that was just a cope out by the powers who really killed him.
    Neither do I believe that Biggie had anything to do with it as well. He was just a pawn in a game. Biggie may have been aware of a few evil people who may have been responsible, but I'll never believe that Biggie caused Tupac death or was involved indirectly.
    Now I realized that Tupac had to be taken out! In the late 90s & early 2000s rap music began take a 360 degree turn. Rappers started talking about money, clothes, cars, hoes, jewelry, etc---it started to become very materialistic! That's when Cash Money Records, No Limit, & Crunk music came on the seen. I never noticed because I was a young adult living it up & as long as the beat was tight that's all I cared about! Now that I'm older, I'm disgusted. Funny how all this happened after Tupac was murdered & all the other great rappers fell off or died too. SMH!
    Yep, Tupac was very courageous & there will never be another like him. These so called "rappers" today are a bunch of punks & it's shame how they are bringing down the community with their stupid & outlandish lyrics. Don't get me started about how they view women. Anyway, I just feel blessed that I grew up in the 90s to witness a beautiful soul like TUPAC! RIP!

      ur 100% Right about everything u said. never really viewed hip hop doing a 360 like u explained it. like it changed completely into materialism and straight garbage, after PAC died. Well I never really liked that part in hip hop anyway, because the lyrics where way to basic and so simple minded. But like I said never realized how much of a treat PAC was to there movement. like he defenetely had a plan to make his goal's a reality and I'm almost 100% sure he wasn't going to stop until his goals became reality. u can hear how passinate he was about the whole movement. There will never be another Tupac RIP Big Homie

I mean he did talk/sing about sex, drugs and money, but,, he talked about the negative side of those topics as well. That's why they tried to set him up with rape charges and being sued. They were really trying to take him down. I hate to admit it, but America is a shady country.

Krazy how after Nas & PAC met up and talked at the mtv awards they was gonna collab on uh whole album together.Its documented in interviews before there little disagreement with each other they was both big fans of each other.Notice the rappers I named all have some kind of social/political commentary in there music. Well all accept Mac Dre but fuck it that the East Oakland in me and at least Mac Dre created his own style and never bit plus he was a true student of the game. Another honorable mention on my best rapper list is Black Thought from the group "The Roots" that man is uh lyrical beast and always been underated.I think his lyrics goes over a lot of common folks head cuz u definitely have to do some research to fully get his lyrics it's like uh history lesson 😂😅😂😬🤣 Last but not least Rakim is the god MC it would be no Pac,Nas(definitely Nas),and 3 stacks it wasn't 4 Rakim.

      I can't get over after all he had been through ,the Quaid shooting, the woman putting the false rape charge on him, the police suing him, him describing what the jail life was like, after ALL this he STILL had a happy spirit. He was one positive man. He did not let life get him down. That's probably why the haters killed him, their empty shell of a man being miserable, and Tupac ALWAYS so happy. They couldn't figure that out, because they never let God's love in their heart, like Tupac had. And that made Tupac a blessed man. If Tupac had been my little brother I would have followed him, around the world, wherever he went, letting him know who his confidantes were and who his comrades were, who to trust and who to not trust. Whether he listened or not, I would have told him anyway. Sometimes I wish if I just had an ounce of Tupac's courage, but I do get some of that thug tough, in me, when I listen to his music. One thing is for sure, HE WON'T BE FORGOTTEN.✌❤🙏🎵

      I actually believe right about now he would have been our first youngest black PRESIDENT. An with all of the improvements plans he had in mind, that would have been implemented he would have supporters from all walks of life, young and old, all races, rich and poor. And really and truly the word poor would have dropped off the map. It would be rich and middleclass. Tupac had big goals, big dreams, like MLK, like God want us to have, because He's a BIG GO. And Tupac's goals weren't selfish goals, just for himself, but for the betterment of us all. There would be no more homelessness, and less focus on prison building, and more on finding people jobs. And he wouldn't stop with America either, he would make sure those hungry dying children in other countries was getting food, even if he had to pay out his own pocket. Yes, the world would have been a better place, if he had lived. Nipsey Hussel was on the same path, same wave length as Tupac, and the tin brainless man took his life, too. We the people have got to open our eyes to those artist that are really trying to make a difference in this world, and give them more support and encouragement so the tin brainless man can see they have many, watching their backs. Never mind if they don't go to your church. Church ain't got nothing to do with it.. It's your heart God looks at.

    As a Eight Tray Gangsta, it really makes me smile to know there's positive things we can do from our end and that it was originally a positive thing. We really need to use our power to take back our communities for our children and beyond. It wasn't meant to be this way. We need to set the record straight once and for all. For our children's future.

      Sanyika explains how his wife had accidentally pushed a button on the answering machine when they were talking. Sanyika's friend had sent it to me when he was in jail but i didn't know the technology for making a video with it and never quite found the time to learn. Sanyika had her send it my way as I had written The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders, which included Sanyika. I had to pay someone lots of money to make the movie based on the book tho.
