It's not about traveling around, it's about choosing VEGAS to travel to and spending the night on the strip. I've had to chaperone high school students on road trips before, it's a hard enough task in any environment, I can't imagine trying to keep control over an entire team in fukking Vegas.

Article says the kids were out all night and most of them got drunk, whole team was trashed and blew the game badly the next day.
Damn the coach was extremely negligent, I'd have words with guy if the students were my kinfolk.

In terms of him saying Pac was listening intently to IWW, I interpreted that as him saying Pac was wanting to know what Nas potentially had to say about him

outlawz already spoke on it

Strange choice of words. "Studying?"

What, he had a notebook and a tape recorder and was writing a thesis based off it? :russ:

The nikka was just bumpin that shyt like we all were in 96. shyt was dope. That's it.

Exactly. And now Nas fan boys are jumping to conclusions that Pac looked up to Nas. GTFOH

Pac did admire/look up to Nas


Tupac ends his third and final verse with a venomous tirade against New York rapper NaS, who he accuses of various hip hop crimes. According to Tupac, NaS is an impostor who stole rap legend Rakim's lyrical style ("you heard 'My Melody' . . . tryin' to sound like Rakim") and plagiarized Tupac's life story ("read about my life in the papers . . . now you want to live my life"). Behind this public hatred was a private admiration. Tupac was a huge fan of NaS' debut album, Illmatic, and was inspired to write "Me and My Girlfriend" after hearing NaS' "I Gave You Power," an anthropomorphic first-person narrative told through the "eyes" of a handgun. He made peace with NaS in New York's Bryant Park on September 4, 1996 and even listened to NaS' sophomore album, It Was Written, as he made his fateful trip to Las Vegas for the Tyson-Seldon fight three days later. According to Suge Knight, Tupac intended to remove the NaS disses from the Makaveli album but died before he could do so. In a magazine interview after Tupac's death, NaS admitted crying when he first heard "Against All Odds."

dream hampton on how pac felt about illmatic:

'Hampton credits Illmatic with providing a common artistic ground for rappers on the West Coast and East Coast rap scenes. In the 2009 essay "Born Alone, Die Alone," she recounts the album's impact on West Coast artist, Tupac Shakur. While working as a journalist for The Source in 1994, Hampton covered three court cases involving Tupac. Around this time, she received an advance-copy of Illmatic and immediately dubbed a cassette version for Tupac, who became "an instant convert" of the album. The next day, she writes, Tupac "arrived in his assigned courtroom blasting Illmatic so loudly that the bailiff yelled at him to turn it off before the judge took his seat on the bench.'

Despite these regional differences, Hampton credits Illmatic with providing a common artistic ground for rappers on the West Coast and East Coast rap scenes. In the 2009 essay "Born Alone, Die Alone," she recounts the album's impact on West Coast artist, Tupac Shakur.[108] While working as a journalist for The Source in 1994, Hampton covered three court cases involving Tupac.

In her essay, Hampton implies that Nas' lyricism might have influenced Tupac's acclaimed album, Me Against the World, which was recorded that same year.[108]

Fam. All the Outlawz said they looked up to Nas on some emcee shyt. That’s not a diss. Pac would say all the time he was never too big to admit he looked up to nikkas or was a huge fan of nikkas. I don’t think Pac looked up to Nas but I do think he was highly influenced by him and was a big fan.

Fans of each other, I never heard Nas disrespect him at all, even when he was alive.

Gon make me listen to IWW all over again :wow:, always been my fav Nas album.

I can picture Pac listening to Take it in Blood like

" :ohhh::wow: I gotta step my game up"
Suspect is Nas at his apex
