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

[Michael's Black Son]

Yep. He also talks about his relationship with Faith. His rape case. This is 2 hours of Pac venting and she's holding it back! fukk her book. She said she would release this back in 2009, now it's 2016 and she wants us to buy her book for more snippets?

It's 2hrs of venting but I'm willing to bet all of my Coli cash that he isn't saying anything we haven't heard already. Angie must have been delusional at the time to think the biggest rap star was giving her an exclusive.

She did the interview because I'm sure her bosses back then made her do it but she prolly didn't even wanna do it considering he shyt on people she ran into in on a regular basis back then

 

[Dirty D]

The book is worth buying and not just for the Tupac interview snippets. I'm about halfway through. Pac's note to her makes even more sense after reading about her situation with Wendy Williams.

Pac always gave the realest interviews

Right from the start I could see that he was far more articulate and calculated than I was. And at this point, way more seasoned than me . I could have asked him anything. He already knew what he wanted to say. He answered my questions, but he also was very clear about what he wanted to get out of this. He had some shyt to say, and he was using me as the vehicle to do that.

ANGIE: So are you saying that you do not have a beef with New York? TUPAC: Nah . . . I have a beef with anybody in my way , anybody that’ll come against me that feel like they could criticize me because they bought my album. That feel like just because they read an interview that they know who I am— I have a beef with them interfering with me getting my money. I got a beef with Wendy Williams saying I got raped in jail because that disrespected me, my family , and what I represent. I got a beef with New York rappers just saying whatever they wanna say about where I’m from . . .

He went off, continuing his laundry list, which finally came around to the main beef. And because I still didn’t fully understand, I asked exactly how his relationship with Biggie had gotten so bad and what exactly Biggie had done.

TUPAC: He acted like he didn’t know what happened when I got shot. He didn’t know what happened. I was tripping out. I was buggin’. I must’ve been fukkin’ on drugs when I got operated on. This nikka only got shot once. He was acting like a movie when he came upstairs . That type of shyt ? It’s going down . . . Puffy’s the one that really . . . snapped me back to my senses. When this punk muthafukka said “Thug Life you gon’ be a thug, you gotta be a thug forever you can’t go in and out of it.” Okay, now when a cream puff nikka like that tell me that, it’s time to ride. ’Cause I had legitimately just walked away from the shyt. I was gonna take my shots and move on. I already knew what happened. Only thing that pissed me off is when nikkas tried to make me seem like I was buggin’ or bullshytting like I just shot myself. Nobody knew what happened. That’s what really made just me trip the fukk out. And then Mobb Deep doing shows and they introducing people onstage like this the nikka that shot ’Pac.

ANGIE: Where was that?
TUPAC: In Queens ! It get real deep and everybody involved know it get deep.

This is basically what it is— fear is stronger than love. His point was that New York was an innocent bystander. And there was no question where the battle lines had been drawn for him.

Book is dope af, cop that shyt brehs!

yo @spliz .... yo @Renzo
come hold this ( L ) my nikkaz

 

[Big Skilly Films]

so you fukkers going to drop a link to her book?

 

[spliz]

yo @spliz .... yo @Renzo
come hold this ( L ) my nikkaz

No. The interview was unreleased nikka. Do u get it? He got wind they was sayin that bullshyt on the low and that's one of the reasons he went in full fledged attack mode on them. That Fab 5 Freddy interview never released at the time either. Pac knew alotta shyt they was pullin on the low and beefed wit them publicly for it. And they would hide they hands and act innocent in public. nikkas been known this. The fact that interviews like this was never released and shyt like the Fab 5 interview wasn't released actually benefitted Bad Boy. And it made Pac come off crazy while bad boy and them came off as victims. If anything everything is adding up to Pac being TRUTHFUL and JUSTIFIED but u choose to ignore those facts.

Nah wrong - her interview had nothing to do with the radio station. She was invited out personally by Pac, because she showed no bias when he was locked up. He RESPECTED her as a radio host. He paid for the flight and all. The station didnt even want her to go to L.A. nor did they want it played when she got back.

 

[madness]

I just read this chapter today. That interview would have severely damaged Bad Boy if it aired in full.

Pac wrote her this note:

2 Angie Martinez

4 being true when false behavior was fashionable
4 never dirtying my name on the air
4 being what iz so hard 2 find....
A real motherfuka
I O U 1
Collect whenever needed most

Sign: Tupac Shakur

@ Pac writing like a teenage thot on AOL circa 1999

Word..if yall posters fukk with hip hop like some of yall claim to do, this is a dope ass read..

More shyt:

His point was that New York was an innocent bystander. And there was no question where the battle lines had been drawn for him.

TUPAC: nikkas that represent New York, some of these rappers—there’s a lot of cool nikkas out there . . . But as far as Bad Boy, Puffy is the head of Bad Boy. He’s a cream puff. He’s being extorted. So the nikkas that’s extorting him don’t pump no fear in my heart. They pump fear in his heart. I rode against the nikkas extorting him. They tried to kill me. Biggie and them watched it and acted like they didn’t know what happened. So now I’m gonna end his business. I’m gonna end it so the extorting nikkas don’t get no money. Biggie don’t get no money. Puffy don’t get no money. I get all the money, and they be out the rap game. That’s what poppin’.

ANGIE: And how do you intend to do that?

TUPAC: I’m doing it. Them nikkas ain’t doin’ no tours. They ain’t livin’ good. They sleepin’ with extra security. They got guns out. They was out here panicky like a muthafukka...

So why hold onto the shyt for 20 damn years?

Pac didn't make any new revelations in the interview. shyt, the Makaveli album is way more revealing than any interview he did during that time period. The only interview where he dropped some real gems was the Vibe jailhouse interview and even that (at the time) was edited.

She said she wanted to put it thru the right channels, she was trying to get it to Pacs Mom b4 she passed. IDK why breh, but damn if you feel as if it is NO new info in the interview, why be so pressed about whether or not she dropped it 20 years later? She prob want to make some bread, or figure out a lane for it. The interview has some fukked up shyt about people she rocked with. Plus she didnt want to instigate the beef no further, which this interview would have. People died over this shyt. I can't hate her 4 that especially when Pac co-signed her and had hella love for shorty.

Pac tried to treat the music game like the street.....difference is, there's way more money at stake, so loyalty diminishes and things go to extremes. Dudes wind up dead. Still sad.

She was trying to contact Afeni back in 2014... I respect her history in Hip-Hop, but this 2Pac interview is bullshyt. She continuously flaunts it and says "I'll put it out one day" when she clearly has no intention of releasing it.

If you're going to keep it to yourself, go ahead, but don't hype it up for 10 years and tell people you're going to put it out.
