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

[Sir Brehsington]

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.

Yep, but honestly, at 23, 24 I can't blame em, the game was a lot different back then, promoters and other cats working behind the scenes were real street nikkaz. So the lines were already blurred, Crack Game/Rap Game, hip hop is entrenched from the streets, so there is bound to be some crossover with shyt. Hell, Suge ran Death Row like some prison warden.

Pac just didn't seem to have discernment when it came to certain things. That would have came with age, but it is sad as fukk when you think about how foolish his loss is. I rep the East, Jerz and NY - but cats had genuine love for him over here when he was alive.

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.

I think it will come out, they prob gon a way to produce and monitize it.

Real shyt tho? What would this interview in it's rawest form do for us, and or the culture if it's released? It seems most people just want to hear him ranting about the ol ass beef he had with Bad Boy.

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.

this is very true, i even believe tracy cloherty who basically ran hot 97 was upset with angie going out there

dudes on here are probably too young or lived way outside of the new york metropolitan area to gasp & understand the risk that angie made - that whole hot 9 line up problaby was on to her

ed lover & dre - was trying to get him to make peace
red alert - was like whatever to him
wendy - hated & shytted on everybody... was like he shouldn't take it personal
flex - kinda her mentor... and yall know how he felt about him

 

[Ol’Otis]

So was it jack or jimmy that sent word thru stretch to tell 'pac


"Don't go to war unless you got your money right"

 

[Dirty D]

why do yall nikkaz alwayz say stupid shyt like this

What's stupid about that? Dude was throwing fireballs at Bad Boy.

 

[Mac Casper]

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

Wrong, he talks about Snoop

Once Pac cloned Prodigy's style...they were involved

 

[Mac Casper]

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...

Why aren't you sharing it all?

real talk ...if u were old enough around that time and from the tri state area you knew that Angie pissed off alotta cats when she flew to the westcoast to see Pac

 

[Trey0'5Blue2Gz]

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

nikka played himself. Lol. He clearly said the whole reason he started back goin in on them was cause of lies like that.
