Angie Martinez interview with 2Pac (Text excerpts from book)

[3rdWorld]

Man get this revisionist bullshyt outta here. U have no idea what u talkin bout.

He was bitter and jealous and he couldnt see straight

Had Biggie been a weak no name rapper that no one cared about, and Puffy an equally weak record CEO he would have never made it his life's pursuit to discredit and destroy. Imagine the seething bitterness he must have felt, seeing that dirty fat rapper he once let sleep on his couch warm his way into the worlds hearts and minds and he was on his umpteenth album

Its pure unadulterated jealousy you fakkit. Biggie was the worst thing to happen to Pac..he completely destroyed his ambitions and took the game all for himself.
There was a time we never thought any label could take on the supreme death row and the west, till the fat boy came on the scene. Pac was a controversial rapper, thats how he kept his name afloat. Big wasnt, he used his God given mic skills, something Pac couldnt compete with directly so he did what he knew and kicked up dust instead.

Sending goons to shoot up Snoop's trailer when they was out here to do a damn tribute song to the city. .

you really think they were out here to do a tribute song to the city? really?..

 

[Nomad1]

"Pac was jealous of Biggie" Pac let the bumb sleep on his couch and let him open up for him.

man fukk outta here only east coast nikkas were listening to that fat fukk. nikka is acting biggie was global star.

yeah ok so all of a sudden they made it a diss song/video you want me to beleive deathrow who hyped up pac to act like a psycho fueled the east-west beef and were full of themselves was going to make a tribute song to nyc? the same people who went to the source awards and started talking shyt but im supposed to take they word for it...they just thought nikkas wouldnt shoot they shyt up...i dont believe one word of it so stop it

 

[Bigsuk]

So if u feel this way? What cause Biggie to get killed? nikka wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer moving the way he did after Pac already died and the shyt was SUPPOSED to be behind him. Pac clearly said he was gonna chill out until they started doing and saying underhanded shyt and hiding they hands. People was coming at Pac who wasn't even involved in the situation. Involving themselves in shyt that had nothing to do with them. Everyone always speaks on Pac. But noone speaks on how fukked up the other nikkas was moving on the low that was provoking him. The nikka got shot and set up. He was paranoid and them nikkas was moving funny. nikkas try to make like Biggie was this innocent nikka. This the same nikka who got Snoop n them trailer shot up. This the same nikka who dissed Pac in LA AFTER he died. shyt. I don't even think Pac would've done that shyt. Cause he clearly said he didn't want Biggie to get hurt.

Puffy hitting a hit on pac n suge if you believe mr kadings thoery , plus using sscc that was stupid ov zip to hook puffy up with sscc getting badboy involoved in gang -politics ... I never said biggie was an angel i clearly stated a few pagees back he was wrong to be going on the radio instigating nikkas to do something to snoop n them , it was jimmy henchman who got goons to do that anyway not biggie himself but again he was an idiot for doing that ...... Where i blame pac is the inial beef .... He started it not biggie then he got way out ov control and couldnt be stopped ....

 

[kingofnyc]

Umm. Sending goons to shoot up Snoop's trailer when they was out here to do a damn tribute song to the city. Ummm. Going out to LA and dissing Pac soon after he died on LA radio. Rubbing a bunch of LA cats the wrong way. Actin like they was on some victory lap n shyt. Yukmouth from Luniz was cool wit Biggie and even told them to chill out cause people not feelin the way they was moving out there. The ultimate bad decision of going out there in the first place is what got him killed.

i read ur OP as u saying 'biggie could have made better decision' was about quad shooting & the beef thereafter
the only thing that relates to this post of yours is the snoop trailer being shot up... im not saying there should have shots fired cause we all know bullets dont have a name on them
but DR talking ALL that shyt at any media coverage they got da hell did anybody think coming to new york to do that vid was not gonna cause more drama

 

[Bigsuk]

The shooting was very convenient for Pac as crazy as that may sound..I maintain that he was extremely jealous as were many other rappers of the rise of Biggie .and he was a megalomaniac. Unlike other rappers who gave props and recognized the superiority of Biggie and learned to live with it, Pac couldnt bear it.
He had been in the game a few years, and absolutely hated the fact Biggie got so much love overnight and set a label on the map single handed that challenged the might Death Row and with titles of King and the Greatest on top. Pac was also a known liar, but you can tell from the way he spoke about Biggie sleeping on his couch that Biggie's rise threw him off so bad and he knew he couldn't compete mic to mic so he drummed up the shooting in the face of irrefutable proof Big and Co had nothing to really do with it to try and discredity Biggie and slow him down. Why the hell would Puff and Big set him up?? thats where his megalomania sets in..there was no incentive in it, and he was talking crazy.

Ohh i agree pac was jealous 94 i wouldnt say he was jealous in late 95 - 96 cause he became number 1 on the west and deathrow , but during 94 he was deffo you could tell.... I thought the same ive read or heard plenty ov interviews n thought pac sometimes was either saving face or lying but like i said he was a great talker very articule n convincing that 80 % ov the fans beileve everyword he said ... I myself wen i was a youngester was the same i used to beileve every word that came outta pacs mouth til i grew up n noticed alot ov things that dont add up ...

 

[kingofnyc]

Wish 2pac would have known hatian dude set 2pac. and biggie and puffy didnt know

breh

pac did know exactly who set him up
he just blamed biggie puff & badboy to sell albums & market him & his brand

 

[Bigsuk]

you really think they were out here to do a tribute song to the city? really?..

I agree with that i remember wen i was actully talking to my uncle about this asking him what he felt been from the east what he felt about the nyny song and it answeared perfectly - whats the point making a song called nyny by westcoast nikkas and you not making it very clear its a tribute or diss and has nikkas on the east coast scratching there heads not knowing how to take the song .... Pretty much sums up how alot ov nikkas would feel espically during that time right after the source awards drama aswell

 

[Bigsuk]

Another thing stretchs brother majesty said something very intresting on that live squad documentary .... He said there was no beef or drama between pac n big or pac n stretch all the way up after pac was shot up until pac was sentenced to prison ... He said pac never uttered a word about no beef or drama between any ov them, stretch was the 1 who told pac while pac was recovering that jimmy set him up n that " you dont wana go to war you havent even got your money right" majesty seemed quite hurt by in his words " that dam interview pac did " meanin the vibe 1

 

[Peter Parker]

Over 20 years ago and she's still milking the interview

 

[kingofnyc]

BTW

i listened to angie on the combat jack podcast this weekend
shyt was pretty good

had no idea angie going to cali for this exclusive interview & she didnt even know nor never met pac (which is crazy cause this was '96 ang been on hot9 since da very beginning in '92
i alway thought the only reason pac asked her cause they was friends

to add..
she didnt mention nor this come up on combat show - but now im thinking about it i wonder how Qtip felt about her going to see pac in LA (for those that dont know angie & Qtip were dating for a minute • and pac & Q had beef - whats new pac beefing with another nikka)

 

[spliz]

nikka they said it out they own mouth. And listen to the fukkin LYRICS in the song. It don't match the video at all. They said that they switched the video up when that shyt happened. All u nikkas believe every positive thing said about Biggie. Every negative thing said about Pac n them nikkas. And expect nikkas to have a legitimate conversation n shyt. So fukk it. I'm done cause I'm tired of speaking in circles.
