2Pac was an East Coast rapper impersonating a West Coast rapper and no one said anything

[Carlton Banks]

His first 2 albums were east coast sounding albums too

What’s crazy is that somehow Pac managed to convince the world that he was a “west coast rapper” when he didn’t move to the bay til he was 17.

Then he joined the Mob piru bloods in his 20’s and made a songs called “California Love” and “To Live and Die LA.”

It’s crazy how he went out there and created a whole new image of himself and people bought into it. I think having the influence of Death Row behind him helped a lot.

I can see how nikkas would be scratching there head at this ….. some folk even til this day forget pac was born in newyork just how he repped the west …. I feel that newyork them selfs never claimed pac … and pac himself never felt accepted as a east coast rapper so he went where he felt comfortable and accepted on the west ….yeah he moved around a lot on both coasts but it is what it is ….. then after what happened to him in newyork with the rape case / quad studios shooting that was the final straw that made him be on some fukk the east tip even tho he didn’t say that outright and said he still had love for newyork his actions n how he went about stuff in my personal opinion said otherwise … even if had survived his second shooting his relationship with the east coast was never going to be the same ….n since big was looked at as royalty to the east going at the biggest Titan in newyork nikkas had a problem with it …

I think that was cause he felt he needed a strong team to go against who ever he felt he had issues with so the image and then obviously suge n them reppin gang culture just made it all that much more dangerous….

PAC was an actor and so you never know when they are being real or acting. The west coast gang banger was a character that even he started to believe…

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Pac had roots in oakland

I don’t give a shyt where he was from, nobody made better music than pac

dno about all that …. He just pure underestimated who he was hanging with and who he could and couldn’t put his hands on …. Am no mindreader but am assuming he thought regaurdless if he wins the fight with baby lane he’s safe cause he’s around suge and suges pirus but everyone there underestimated baby lane cause he never gave a fukk…. pac himself suge and suges pirus are all to blame for pacs demise they shouldn’t have been letting pac claim there set so easy n let him do watever n suge should have kept a tight leash on his biggest money maker … n pac himself was foolish for running up on someone he don’t know known fine well this nikka probs has bodies under his belt …

At the end of the day Mob Piru or not, it’s PAC’s fault for trying to be gangsta when he really wasn’t gangsta but was born of revolutionary stock. Pac was a great actor…you see it in Belly, Poetic Justice, etc and I feel that the West Coast Rapper dude was a character. When you read The Rose that Grew From Concrete you’ll see how beautiful of a man this nikka was…he was smart and a revolutionary…he was sweet and emotionally in-tune. He wasn’t soft that’s not what I’m saying…he was a Renaissance man…he just took on a persona he felt was cool and was around the wrong people and it cost him his life. If he lived to be in his 30’s he would have dropped all that thug life shyt and would who Nas is today.

PAC’s most EAST COAST sounding albums was Thug Life and Me Against The World. That’s 3 and 4 albums into his career. His first 2 albums had cats like Ice T and Ice Cube and he’s repping Oakland all throughout them. fukk is u even talkin bout fam? On Me Against The World he did a whole ass tribute to NYC. Half of Thug Life was NYC nikkas including BIGGIE who was part of the team at the time. Easy Mo Bee was doing production all over them shyts. Pac didn’t ever rap like a full on east coast nikka. He rapped like a nikka who adopted slang and game from moving all around the country. Cut the bullshyt. But Oakland is what he started with. Even the second disc of All Eyez On Me was a straight up dedication to the Bay Area.

Pac wouldve been dead WAY before Death Row and even Juice if it wasn’t for the people around him reeling him in. And that’s literally the ONLY difference in him from then and the Death Row days. U simply don’t know what u talking about. Pac was ALWAYS wildin and getting into shyt and this is before he cut a fukking record. Stop these lies.

Charisma will take you a looonggg way if you also have talent to pair with it.


Millie Vanillie was out lip syncing ENTIRE albums. Them nikkas ain’t sing ONE NOTE but they had charisma and were GREAT performers.

Millie Vanilli could actually sing. They was homeless and signed a fukked up contract to get off the street and didn’t read what they signed. They weren’t allowed to sing. Them cats got shytted on meanwhile J Lo was literally the female version of Milli Vanilli.

Pac came out of The Bay Area. Pac has repped that since his first album. Same way Ice T don’t rep Jersey or Kurupt don’t rep Philly. Or Luda don’t rep Chicago.
