He clearly says we squared off & still kept it cool smh the media wishes they could restart a east coast west coast beef not realizing they got legendary guys killed just for raitings
It was deeper than that. A lot of it wasn't ratings in their eyes... these were guys that took it to heart, the white folk poaching them for bread were the ones that take it lightly. These were mostly authentic thorough hood dudes that heard difficult in themselves
"niggas talk a lot of shit but that's after I'm gone because they fear me in a physical form" - Makaveli Tha Don Big ups to Keith Murry for showing love and keeping it real and not twisting shit and taking bad about Tupac after he's gone. California Love!!
+solarcoreproductions PAC had an acronym for THUG LIFE (The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everyone) & He said he wanted it to be like the black panther movement
^true... Pac's formula was good for the 90's, but we're in a whole new world now. 90% of what he said is still valid and with a little work most of his ideas can be recycled but for the kill or be killed money rules thing. that paradigm is recently outdated.
Daddy Phantom you said they wanted us to believe that it was about a nigga having beef with another nigga but what else can we believe when we see him and a bunch of other niggas beating the shit out of another nigga.
Utmost respect for Keith Murray, whenever segments of his songs started playing in this interview I couldn't help but start bopping my head. Nostalgia right here
Thank you Keith murray. Twenty years ago as a 13 year old I fell in love with hip hop with the classic song The most beutifullest thing. Let cassette single play over and over and over. Much respect I'm on drugs too.lol
this was on repeat for me too between 1994-1996 mr murray - most beautifullest, get lifted lost boyz - renee mobb deep - survival of the fit, shook ones mic gernomio - masta ic das efx - real hip hop grand puba - i like it heltah skeltah - operation lockdown smif n wessun - wrekonize, wontime channel live - mad izm odb - brooklyn zoo show & ag - next level remix big L - put it on, mvp az - sugar hill nas - it aint hard to tell, one love
Keith Murray, in my personal opinion could of been as Big as Redman or Erick Sermon as he had the "IT" Factor. The problem was he was always getting into trouble with mad people. It's ashamed he's more known for being a loose cannon that an artist. Guy had so many skills.
+Cinefreek Productions It's understandable considering the family background he had,it was a rough life. His Mother and sister died of HIV,his aunt was murdered too.
'The most beautifulest thing in the world' is by far one of the most intelligently written hip hop tracks of all time. I also had an immense respect for Keith Murray for the simple fact that he put a lot of thought into his rhymes. A shame things didn't work out well for him - but then I guess that's what happens when you smoke too much weed.
My high school homie and I ran into Keith Murray in the ATL airport, Thanksgiving 96, he had a boombox bumpin' and was searching for a place to buy blunts... A few minutes later we saw a Def Squad logo on the back of a black jacket, in the baggage claim, got a chance to meet Eric Sermon too!
@Doctor West.. I def knew it was b4 DeathRow cuz Big Stretch was on that joint, I was just sayin Pac n KM had linked up b4..... but u r very correct that maybe Ron G or somebody threw KM on there afterward, and Pac n KM werent physically in the studio together? That is possible
Pac is a legend but I'm so sick of people saying that he was the best. That's not true. There are better lyricists but Pac fans don't want to admit it. Some people act like he could do no wrong.
That means people who are addicts but they get live and you couldn't play them about their habit they might give it to you raw, a person that doesn't even get high
Keith murray didnt diss tupac all of yall they just talked it out in the house of blouse cuz pac thought he and LL cool J dissed him on the track I shot Ya.
No its means that when he got confronted by one of pacs friends (outlaws) right before pac got to approach him i think murray must have slaped or pushed him so thats when pac must have step in front gis face pushed back or just got real aggressive and said hold up we got problems thats my homie ,ya niggas dissing me on that track who shot ya ,murray and pac by that time were squaring up... Ready to throw them hands but someone must have said or did something to stop it ,i heard red man was there too
He literally jus told this story to vlad and said they both asked a question and that was it..they shook hands..I believe this one is true..most "gangstas" have an image to maintain..here(some yrs ago) he still had that childish mentality..today in 2020 hes grown
Respect For Keith MR. Murray I don't think he gets the respect he deserves hes been at a long time and is always straight up tells it how it is no bullshit...
His double album, All Eyez on Me, is one of the highest-selling rap albums of all time, with over 5 million copies of the album sold in the United States alone by April 1996.
im not even gonna lie. i never heard of keith murray, or his music. but knowing that he's an O.G. in the game tryina make a solid comeback, i will check his music out based on his personality alone.
it's good that he cleared out the 2Pac rumors. But still the song "I Shot Ya" was a clear indication of the tension between east and west at the time; so many indirects including Keith starting off his verse with "I'm here to make a dollar outta 15 cent" which is a line that Pac used in his music, almost mocking Pac. For Keith to say that song wasn't aimed at Pac or the west coast in general kinda sounds like back peddling to me.
I'm glad I jumped on this because I seen that edited version of the original where they cut and clip what he originally said about him squaring up with 2 Pac and winning.
He and canibus are very similar in my opinion... Both could have been top 5 greatest lyricists of all time but just made some bad decisions , for canibus his bad decisions were music related and with Keith his bad decisions were more personal life... Just my opinion but honestly lyrics wise he's one of the best ever
Loved The most beautifulest! Rocked to that for a long time. It still kills. I love it. We miss you Keith and what's wrong with Michael Jackson's eye, forreal
Another thing honestly Tupac and Keith Murray were the same kind of person both had explosive personalities and Keith shud of been as big as Pac in the hip-hop game but only thing that kept him from that status was he was a super loose cannon but his talent can't be denied I would love to see him come out in this day and time with a album he would probably end up as the best rapper in this generation Murray was the Truth and still the Truth bars were banans.
he never said they fought. he wasn't lying, he was just trying to state he wasn't scared of him.... the way he stressed it i believe he was intimidated. however him n them lod boys always fighting at a event.
Generic!?! Fool ur generic, those are all rappers that at one point in there respective careers was considered the best in the bizz.... and I suppose u have a better list?
Salvador Villanueva 2pac isn't the best, he's the most influential, personally. I don't see Rass Kass, Lauyrn Hill, Cannibal Ox etc in your list either
It's not even a opinion that 2pac is the G.O.A.T it became a Fact through people vote in Vibe & Source Magazine. His Knowledge was beyond any hip hop artist ever, his political understanding and influence in the world, yes the world ( countries in Africa, India, South American and Canada) put him under F.B.I surveillance ( watch/or read F.B.I. surveillance on black panthers and Tupac. on RUclips) That being said a lot of Tupac rapping was from books he had read, that's how he came up with the alias name Makaveli, which was a good book, and my opinion you not a Tupac fan if you never read Makaveli.
fooloof Washington Post, New York Times, Suns, USA Todays, Etc....All News media and Social network, Newspapers are all bull,... You Right, no denying that!! However people back in 1999 was able to send in a vote through the Magazines to select your choice of the Number 1 Hip-Hop Artist ( I think it was, 1 thru. 100), and with no surprise Pac was voted number one with no controversy. You can go online and put in the "Number one Rapper in history", I'm sure Pac will be number one. That being said my generation was influence by his political views and the power he preach through the music. Watch the RUclips movie I suggested you will find it educational brother. MUCH LOVE.
fooloof there are a lot of mcs that don't get all the credit they deserve like father mc,dmx sponnie g,utfo,heavy d and mc shan.I slightly agree with you. Alot of cats didn't get into 2pac until he got shot.they wasn't on board from 1988-91.also can't forget Davy dmx.
fooloof You must be young a dumb and have a IQ lower than plant life .... I don't care what you think, What I had said is a FACT, all you have to do is type it in a Web Browser "who is the greatest hip hop artist of all time", and you will see his name 90% of the time as #1......Hell!!!! President George Washington was our first President but don't make him the best..However, damn near the world hip hop population think he is the G.O.A.T. Stupid ass, I'm not going to respond to your next comment. My Grandfather told me if you argue with a fool people from a distance be wondering who is the fool. THE END!
Freddie Mills It is not even an opinion,it is a fallacious one,much less fact.He was an extraordinary person,that has very little bearing on his MCing skills.He is barely in the top 20.Charisma and energy are not lyrical and flowing aptitude.BTW the original is called Machiavelli
Rob B LL is the guy the made the song. Keith was featured on the song. Pac and Keith squashed the beef. Redman and Onyx was there and witnessed it. I'm sure Pac and LL squashed their beef. LL talked about it. And there's a picture of Pac sitting in front of LL at the MTV Music Awards. There's no news about them having a scuffle after the show.
Nas copied everyone's style at least once. "Style biting" as they would say. I mean don't get me wrong, lyrically he's good but he's not an innovator. He's a follower. Whereas 2Pac was a genius in his craft, the man was a revolutionary, a leader, a thinker. People love him because his music came from the heart and it inspired people. That's the main reason why people appreciate his music. No one gives a fuck about the complicated lyrical shit. Cool, it's a good skill to have if you can string metaphors together and whatever but people don't care about that as much as the words you are saying and the meanings you are conveying and 2Pac excelled in that. Still, if you insist Nas is better than Pac, Pac had way more better tracks than Nas has made and 2Pac is known all over the world, no one even knows who Nas is.
Joanna Decisionator Jedrzejczyk you must be real young.....because people bit from Nas cool laid back lyrical style....please explain who he bit from? Cuz you dumb asf 😂😂😂
sabih Your saying that ELIJAH AND FARRAKHAN ARE revolutionary IS CLEARLY SHOWING A LACK OF SEEING PAST THE FAÇADE... ITS A KNOWN AND PROVEN FACT THAT BOTH THOSE MEN WERE INVOLVED IN THE ASSASSINATION OF MALCOLM...COINTELPRO TARGETED.. BOB MARLEY... MALCOLM X...HUEY NEWTON... MARCUS GARVEY... AND YES...TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR...IM FAR FROM A SCHOLAR.. BUT FACTS ARE FACTS AND THE FEDS WANTED PAC OUT THE WAY...BECAUSE HE WAS A THREAT.. HIS FAMILY TREE IS ALL TOP LEVEL REVOLUTIONARIES..AND TO SAY HE WAS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE TO THE BETTERMENT OF MENTALITY ENSLAVED PEOPLE IS IN MY VIEW TOTALLY FALSE...KILLUMINATI???..HE LIVED THAT SHIT...TO HIM AND ANYONE WHO DOES THE MATH..THAT ILLUMINATI SHIT IS A WAY TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM STRIVING TO ADVANCE AND TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE.. BECAUSE " THEY RUN THE WORLD AND IF YOU AINT DOWN WITH THEM YOU HAVE NO CHANCE..."..HE WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THE POTENTIAL IS INSIDE YOU AND TO STRIVE FOR THE TOP...REGARDLESS OF WHAT'S IN YOUR WAY...PEACE!
u punk ass it was a part of the school of arts in baltimore after he made a record they start treating him different so he had to be a thug to survive hope you now understand this MAKAVELI rest in peace
I was there when this went down. It was not a fight but some verbal jabs. It was at the House of Blues on Sunset for a show Onyx was headlining. EPMD performed, Das Efx, Redman and Keith Murray. That night was crazy cos there were full of Hip Hop artists. Pac came in somewhere in between the performances with at least 10-15 dudes deep. I did not hear exactly what was said but from some of the people/artists that were around themat that moment, Keith was already lit as last I had seen him he had 2 bottles of Heineken tucked in his letterman jacket and he approached Pac saying something to the effect of "I'm on your side of the coast now, what's good?"...Redman jumped in between them as some pushing ensued and that was it...they smoked it up at the end of the night while Onyx performed. Pac and Keith Murray ended up in the 2nd floor (Hospitality/VIP Balcony) watching the show as well as the Foundation Room. It was never a fight.

keith murray is too real for the industry today
Too real that was solid much respect. These east coast dudes got tough after Pac died. But more importantly he gave it up to Moms! Real dude
Hahaha this aged well
smh
Frfr
He clearly says we squared off & still kept it cool smh the media wishes they could restart a east coast west coast beef not realizing they got legendary guys killed just for raitings
It was deeper than that. A lot of it wasn't ratings in their eyes... these were guys that took it to heart, the white folk poaching them for bread were the ones that take it lightly. These were mostly authentic thorough hood dudes that heard difficult in themselves
Keith's first joint came out 20 years ago this year. Damn. I still remember it
King James // 24 yrs now.🙄
Yeah it was 🔥 but he's not up there with meth and red , they on different levels trust

Cinefreek Productions Yep, if he had not gotten into all that trouble he would have been huge.
what do you mean could have been.keith sold a little more than both of them on their 1st 2 albums
'The most beautifulest thing in the world' is by far one of the most intelligently written hip hop tracks of all time. I also had an immense respect for Keith Murray for the simple fact that he put a lot of thought into his rhymes. A shame things didn't work out well for him - but then I guess that's what happens when you smoke too much weed.
Nah its not the weed or Redman, Wutang or Snoop Dogg wouldn't have careers lol....Keith was doing harder drugs
Keith described click bait before the term existed
Annette Goka lol that's funny. Just noticed that too
most beautifullest interview
Decent Humans lol
My high school homie and I ran into Keith Murray in the ATL airport, Thanksgiving 96, he had a boombox bumpin' and was searching for a place to buy blunts... A few minutes later we saw a Def Squad logo on the back of a black jacket, in the baggage claim, got a chance to meet Eric Sermon too!
i met him recently over the summer & hes a cool dude. KM is definitely a real one. I dont think you would want any problems with him.
Let that man live. By far one of the greatest to ever touch the mic. All do respect.
Keith Murray & Pac were both on the track called "Representin for Ron G" aka Deadly Combination....... Thug Life and Waterbed
Chronos127 I Have Hrard That Song With Big L (R.I.P.)
@@bridgewatermelvin3722 Big L version is Remix

2.Maybe his verse was mixed in (KM).
@Doctor West.. I def knew it was b4 DeathRow cuz Big Stretch was on that joint, I was just sayin Pac n KM had linked up b4..... but u r very correct that maybe Ron G or somebody threw KM on there afterward, and Pac n KM werent physically in the studio together? That is possible
The Most Beautifulest Thing In The World!...Shout Out To Keith Murray!
the Legend, Salute , matador of metaphor
Keith Murray was nice man. I remember hearing about that Tupac story a long time ago. Keith would always get into fights back then.
Keith Murray seems like a cool dude, and I'm a big fan of his music.
Paul Piper me to even though im from the West yo he the shit he go fucking hard
Pac is a legend but I'm so sick of people saying that he was the best. That's not true. There are better lyricists but Pac fans don't want to admit it. Some people act like he could do no wrong.
the collaboration I love to see is Kurupt and Keith Murray,that would be incredible.
Kurupt will Krush Keith!!!.....lol
An collaboration means to do a song together not battle each other.
Keith Murray is dope! Nice to see Jack interview real heads!!!!
Murray cool as hell. "that's how it is jack" - Murray
Enigma...peep it if you haven't, Golden Era hip hop at it's finest.

Keith Murray, one of my fav MC's. word up, peace to Keith Murray.
Murray tha man! He was dope with E.Sermon on production.
I need Keith to go watch this! Crazy how much you can change in 10 years!
Isn't that the Thriller jacket?

Keith underrated as a MC.... You a Thesaurus when listening to his Albums... Krazy Vocabulary!!!!
real shit.. got respect for him even more for givin love to pac
Keith murray didnt diss tupac all of yall they just talked it out in the house of blouse cuz pac thought he and LL cool J dissed him on the track I shot Ya.
He just said we squared up that's it that could mean shit went either way
No its means that when he got confronted by one of pacs friends (outlaws) right before pac got to approach him i think murray must have slaped or pushed him so thats when pac must have step in front gis face pushed back or just got real aggressive and said hold up we got problems thats my homie ,ya niggas dissing me on that track who shot ya ,murray and pac by that time were squaring up... Ready to throw them hands but someone must have said or did something to stop it ,i heard red man was there too
He literally jus told this story to vlad and said they both asked a question and that was it..they shook hands..I believe this one is true..most "gangstas" have an image to maintain..here(some yrs ago) he still had that childish mentality..today in 2020 hes grown
wow i never realized how much keith and red are alike. makes sense though
he said he squared off .. that just mean a fight ..
They stood ready to box .....but they didn't. That's what that means.
It also means to battle or confront somebody. He doesn't necessarily have to be physical, but also be verbal.
it could also mean "worked our differences out"
Respect For Keith MR. Murray I don't think he gets the respect he deserves hes been at a long time and is always straight up tells it how it is no bullshit...
Keith was is and all ways will be one of the top lyricists Period
Need ANOTHER album with Canibus. Mad energy
Keith can't fall off, and you aint ever FALL ON...
Damn me an Erik Sermon having heart attacks and we only in our 40's damn man.
U had a heart attack baby
thank u 4makin 2pac #1
I love me some Keith Murray, TF what y'all heard, Rumors
His double album, All Eyez on Me, is one of the highest-selling rap albums of all time, with over 5 million copies of the album sold in the United States alone by April 1996.
now diamond status with over 13 million copies worldwide 😉
3:08 is that neguz looking at the camera and keith at the same time? that's a bad mama jamma!
Murray was one of my favorite Lyrics when I was young
Yo, I love Keith Murray, Def Squad Forever
HE KEPT IT 💯💯💯💯 #KEITH MURRAY
im not even gonna lie. i never heard of keith murray, or his music. but knowing that he's an O.G. in the game tryina make a solid comeback, i will check his music out based on his personality alone.
Long Island!
Keith Murray is seriously overlooked. His metaphors are unsung in the game.
it's good that he cleared out the 2Pac rumors. But still the song "I Shot Ya" was a clear indication of the tension between east and west at the time; so many indirects including Keith starting off his verse with "I'm here to make a dollar outta 15 cent" which is a line that Pac used in his music, almost mocking Pac. For Keith to say that song wasn't aimed at Pac or the west coast in general kinda sounds like back peddling to me.
Fredro Starr told this story as well. They only squared off. But squashed it and smoked blunts together.
No
Back peddling ass.
I mean LL was clearly showcasing a diss record
I'm glad I jumped on this because I seen that edited version of the original where they cut and clip what he originally said about him squaring up with 2 Pac and winning.
you mean Keith Murray and Redman are not one and the same?!?
they look so alike
I remember him off that DJ Clue The Professional Album still. Man, those were the days.
Keith wrote rap history
keith murray spitting everywhere in the that video DRUNK AS HELL LMAAAOOOO!
I absolutely love real, crazy people!!
Keith still Crazy with the lyrics
He and canibus are very similar in my opinion... Both could have been top 5 greatest lyricists of all time but just made some bad decisions , for canibus his bad decisions were music related and with Keith his bad decisions were more personal life... Just my opinion but honestly lyrics wise he's one of the best ever
Respect to Keith 4 keeping it real. U a Legend n these streets of Youngstown, OH.
Loved The most beautifulest! Rocked to that for a long time. It still kills. I love it. We miss you Keith and what's wrong with Michael Jackson's eye, forreal
This due speaks with respect. Thats rare in the HipHop Community.
Another thing honestly Tupac and Keith Murray were the same kind of person both had explosive personalities and Keith shud of been as big as Pac in the hip-hop game but only thing that kept him from that status was he was a super loose cannon but his talent can't be denied I would love to see him come out in this day and time with a album he would probably end up as the best rapper in this generation Murray was the Truth and still the Truth bars were banans.
Keith Murray REAL MUCH RESPECT
he never said they fought. he wasn't lying, he was just trying to state he wasn't scared of him.... the way he stressed it i believe he was intimidated. however him n them lod boys always fighting at a event.
My man Keith Murray always been a huge fan of his, he looks the same also hasn't ages at all nice to see he's doing well.
Keith Murray is the Shit!!!!!!!!!!!
I once thought he had so much potential in the 90's.
I love Keith! He keep it so real!! NOOO social filter!! Hahaha L.O.D. in effect
Keith Murray checkin out Jack's eye when he asked if something's in it is killing me right now.
we're ready for a good come back story in NY....
Real shit! Look it up...
Long island stand up!
Knowledge of truth doesn't make you soft, ignorance does. True to the word.
Hip Hop wants you back.Rock on...
The most beautifulest is one of the GREATEST songs ever… period
"You a rumor ass nigga!" 😅 I 💙 NY cats!
+Shamina Tate Helluva' quote, no doubt.
2pac and Keith got a classic song 2gether.
Keith Murray is a demi-god among men
No one ever gives heat to LL Cool J hes basically dissing la gangbangin culture 😤

2.biggie
3.nas
4.slim(not eminem) that guys not the same
5.rakim or big daddy kane can't go wrong with either
generic list you don't know enough about hip-hop obviously.
Generic!?! Fool ur generic, those are all rappers that at one point in there respective careers was considered the best in the bizz.... and I suppose u have a better list?
Salvador Villanueva 2pac isn't the best, he's the most influential, personally. I don't see Rass Kass, Lauyrn Hill, Cannibal Ox etc in your list either
KILLRomez B Boom, Lauryn Hill... You know hip hop G... She needs to be top of that list!
Tyrael SterlingTV Haha you know what I'm saying?
Keith Murray is Dope!!!!!!!!
only person that was like keith was kurupt
True
+Air Parker ?!? How, Cuzz? Not even close.
man we need another album thats fire like his first 3 albums all eric sermon beats, get some redman, method man, busta, you know that vintage murray.
It's not even a opinion that 2pac is the G.O.A.T it became a Fact through people vote in Vibe & Source Magazine. His Knowledge was beyond any hip hop artist ever, his political understanding and influence in the world, yes the world ( countries in Africa, India, South American and Canada) put him under F.B.I surveillance ( watch/or read F.B.I. surveillance on black panthers and Tupac. on RUclips) That being said a lot of Tupac rapping was from books he had read, that's how he came up with the alias name Makaveli, which was a good book, and my opinion you not a Tupac fan if you never read Makaveli.

GREAT VIDEO, KING!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Pac wanted to whoop Keith Murray's ass because he was on that "I Shot ya" remix with LL Cool J and Prodigy who both dissed him on the track.
Rob B they never dissed 2pac in that song. have u even actually read the lyrics for it? not once did they diss 2pac on that track.
RIPTheNotoriousB.I.G. true but to my understanding I feel like after tupacs situation the last thing he wanted to hear from new York was I shot ya
He never had a problem with ny. He was from ny
Rob B LL is the guy the made the song. Keith was featured on the song. Pac and Keith squashed the beef. Redman and Onyx was there and witnessed it. I'm sure Pac and LL squashed their beef. LL talked about it. And there's a picture of Pac sitting in front of LL at the MTV Music Awards. There's no news about them having a scuffle after the show.
"The Most Beautifulest Thing In the World"
Always look like he got powder on his lips.
Weed n' chapped lips will do that to em'.
He smokes a lot! 😊
and a man can only respect the truth
Yo this dude is hot, but he is no no lord of metaphors because Christ was and still is the best with metaphors.
AMEN BROTHER HAHA JESUS GAVE PEOPLE THEIR TALENTS
when was his last album?
Last time I heard of keith murray he was cameo on R kelly "R" double album.
Pac better then rakim or nas!? Lol
Mickius Capo respect to Pac but lyrically he can't see Esco or tha God MC!!! Truth!!
Nas copied everyone's style at least once. "Style biting" as they would say. I mean don't get me wrong, lyrically he's good but he's not an innovator. He's a follower. Whereas 2Pac was a genius in his craft, the man was a revolutionary, a leader, a thinker. People love him because his music came from the heart and it inspired people. That's the main reason why people appreciate his music. No one gives a fuck about the complicated lyrical shit. Cool, it's a good skill to have if you can string metaphors together and whatever but people don't care about that as much as the words you are saying and the meanings you are conveying and 2Pac excelled in that. Still, if you insist Nas is better than Pac, Pac had way more better tracks than Nas has made and 2Pac is known all over the world, no one even knows who Nas is.
Joanna Decisionator Jedrzejczyk facts
Joanna Decisionator Jedrzejczyk you must be real young.....because people bit from Nas cool laid back lyrical style....please explain who he bit from? Cuz you dumb asf 😂😂😂
sabih Your saying that ELIJAH AND FARRAKHAN ARE revolutionary IS CLEARLY SHOWING A LACK OF SEEING PAST THE FAÇADE... ITS A KNOWN AND PROVEN FACT THAT BOTH THOSE MEN WERE INVOLVED IN THE ASSASSINATION OF MALCOLM...COINTELPRO TARGETED.. BOB MARLEY... MALCOLM X...HUEY NEWTON... MARCUS GARVEY... AND YES...TUPAC AMARU SHAKUR...IM FAR FROM A SCHOLAR.. BUT FACTS ARE FACTS AND THE FEDS WANTED PAC OUT THE WAY...BECAUSE HE WAS A THREAT.. HIS FAMILY TREE IS ALL TOP LEVEL REVOLUTIONARIES..AND TO SAY HE WAS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE TO THE BETTERMENT OF MENTALITY ENSLAVED PEOPLE IS IN MY VIEW TOTALLY FALSE...KILLUMINATI???..HE LIVED THAT SHIT...TO HIM AND ANYONE WHO DOES THE MATH..THAT ILLUMINATI SHIT IS A WAY TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM STRIVING TO ADVANCE AND TO SEEK KNOWLEDGE.. BECAUSE " THEY RUN THE WORLD AND IF YOU AINT DOWN WITH THEM YOU HAVE NO CHANCE..."..HE WANTED PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT THE POTENTIAL IS INSIDE YOU AND TO STRIVE FOR THE TOP...REGARDLESS OF WHAT'S IN YOUR WAY...PEACE!

I was there when this went down. It was not a fight but some verbal jabs. It was at the House of Blues on Sunset for a show Onyx was headlining. EPMD performed, Das Efx, Redman and Keith Murray. That night was crazy cos there were full of Hip Hop artists. Pac came in somewhere in between the performances with at least 10-15 dudes deep. I did not hear exactly what was said but from some of the people/artists that were around themat that moment, Keith was already lit as last I had seen him he had 2 bottles of Heineken tucked in his letterman jacket and he approached Pac saying something to the effect of "I'm on your side of the coast now, what's good?"...Redman jumped in between them as some pushing ensued and that was it...they smoked it up at the end of the night while Onyx performed. Pac and Keith Murray ended up in the 2nd floor (Hospitality/VIP Balcony) watching the show as well as the Foundation Room. It was never a fight.
