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

[Mac Casper]

Why is this rocket science to some of you. I swear some of you must have a double digit IQ

 

[inndaskKy]

Again thats your thoery . As far as the shooting .... And again thats what pac said in vibe about tut n hatian .... Sometimes pacs words cant be proven .... Why wouldnt he tell dexter why he wanted pac set-up?? Dexter done loads ov robberys and shootings for jimmy why keep it from him ?? As far as the head shots ... Like i said dexter issac , chuck philiips , greg kading , nypd, the orginal doctor and stretchs vibe interview , lil cease all say pac was not shot in the head 2x ... Its pacs word and the 2nd privite doctors alfadavits that say otherwise ...

Well obviously Pac is also just following that second doctor's report. You keep talking about Pac's words are only speculation with no proof but you don't apply the same criterion to the claims of others. Where is the proof that Pac was talking reckless to Jimmy on the phone? Where is the proof what the exact words of the first doctor to Greg Kading were? Where is the proof that Pac or someone in his camp paid/pressured the other doctor to make sure that it was stated that there were probably four or five bullets? Where is the proof that a single bullet from Pac's gun shot downwards caused both his actual bullet wounds and those of the other guy who got shot in the stomach? Where is the proof that the shot Stretch heard as Pac turned around was from his own gun and not from one of the robbers?

And again, why would Haitian Jack have talked to Henchman in detail about the specific value of each of 2pac's jewelry items if not to discuss robbing them?

Also, why would Dexter feel Puffy knew that the robbery would take place? Why would Puffy be told if it was only planned hours in advance in response to something 2pac had just said on the phone?

There are many things about the robbery which were indeed very suspicious. It's become somewhat of a fad to dismiss some of 2pac's claims recently, apparently because people believe it makes them seem more objective.

But again, 2pac never claimed to know for sure he got hit five times. He said he was going on what the doctor stated. Where is the proof that Pac heard the first doctor say that he didn't believe he was shot five times?

And regarding the extortion claims: if Pac only made that up after the shooting to throw dirt on their name, why would Pac resist signing to Bad Boy so vehemently months and months before the robbery ever took place? Why is it widely speculated outside of Pac's words that Bad Boy was funded with money from the BM? And if they were, why do you think the BM would just give them money like that?

Why if Biggie was so connected in Brooklyn as his album would have you believe, was he not able to find out that one of the robbers was someone he used to sell drugs for? Why was he not able to find out that someone who was working next door to him was the one who set it up? Why was he not able to find out that his own CEO was probably in on it? Why would he not come tell Pac in prison about what he had learned in the aftermath of the shooting?

There are many things you can criticize Pac for in this situation. But to claim that he just made up the whole story or that his interpretation is baseless is naive at best and perhaps a little biased.

Where do i start ..... The things you wrote where your proof ?? Wheres the proof pac was been pressured into signing to badboy ?? Wolf and his nikkas put some ov the money up for badboy not no bm, dexter said in his book hes more likly to think puffy had knowlege to do with this because he went up to see jimmy before the robbery n asked jimmy who else knows ( about the robbery) jimmy pointed his head in puffys direction saying he knows ..... Biggie proberly did know after it took place But what do you want him to do ... Get this in your head biggie wasnt a hardened crimial or killer if they knew biggie was in cahoots to ride with pac wtf you think gona happen to big n his family ?? ... Biggie cut himself off from the situations out ov fear n because tupac was telling the world lies in vibe about biggie having knowlege ov the set-up something that til this day hasnt been proven and was a lie alll along pac knew jimmy henchman set him up soley not biggie not junior mafia and not puffy ...... So what do you want biggie to do .. And prior to this tupac was warned by mike tyson and biggie to stay away from them ny gangsters but tupac never listened n thought they were long lost friends ... N wen they set him up he started lashing out at everyone .. Wen litrally if he was gona be mad at someone it was the man in the fukking mirror ...

Pac birthed biggie take that take that.

a gold artist CAN NOT birth a platnuim artist


take dat take dat

 

[kingofnyc]

Bro you can not be objective at all. You've proven your east coast/biggie bias over the years

breh
it's not about being objective
it's not about being bias
it's strictly about being factual

 

[seemorecizzy]

a gold artist CAN NOT birth a platnuim artist


take dat take dat

ether

 

[kingofnyc]

I only mentioned him being grazed by the bullets. Not actually shot in the head n shyt. Lol.

breh

all u been saying for the past several days is the medical reports prove pac

so, did read the medical report image posted by nomad1 (clearly states two bullets entered then existed his head thats not being grazed thats being shot

i hope u finally realizing that medical report is bullshyt

 

[kingofnyc]

I give it up to you..you attempt to act like know your shyt..but how many times I proved you wrong? Lol you really think bandaged himself up or something? Its entirely possible he was shot and went to court...maybe you would've laid up like a helpless cripple...but that nikka showed up to court bc he was fighting for his freedom. ...it aint hard to assume from all the reports he was actually shot..or you think he had a death wish and just woke up that morning and decided to beef with real gangsters?

when have u ever proved me wrong???

the things we disagree about -i damn near alwayz post link to back it up
all u do is take the word of pac

while
i posted links of dexter issac saying otherwise
i posted link of randy strecth saying otherwise
i posted link of detective kading saying otherwise

again.... were have u proven me wrong???

 

[kingofnyc]

I respect Money Bags word cause that's was my people's fam. I mean it is what it is at this point. Prodigy said he ain't know what to believe until Jimmy came out himself and said he set Pac up. Prodigy's thing was Pac been knew who did it and blamed Biggie n them to sell records. But Pac was on record saying who he felt did it and what his beef wit Biggie was so that shyt wasn't really a revelation. It ain't like Pac hid it. I honestly think eventually Pac would've patched shyt up wit Biggie. Puffy is another story tho.

respect
so the only question I have to ask you is do you honestly think prodigy would lie on his dead homie e-moneybags
(who u admit u respect)

Bruh I been saying dude was grazed bruh. That's still shot in the head fam. Lol. I never said it penetrated his skull or no shyt like that. Its common knowledge the story is he was grazed in the head twice.

 

[spliz]

respect

Nah I believe E told Prodigy what he was told. If there's any inconsistencies it wouldn't be on E's part. My thing is like I said before. Why the nikka Stretch watch Pac get his ass beat and robbed if he was supposed to be his boy? If I'm wit my homeboy and he bout to get robbed I'm not gonna just sit and watch it happen. That's where Stretch comes off funny style to me.

 

[kingofnyc]

No, their stories don't match up. Dexter says they didn't bust shots and that Pac only shot himself once. Stretch says there were several shots.

nah breh
stretch said he heard one then pac hit the floor
did u watch the jimmy doc i posted ?

 

[inndaskKy]

nah breh
stretch said he heard one then pac hit the floor
did u watch the jimmy doc i posted ?

Yeah, misheard that part the first time. Sounded like he said shots but he didn't.

Biggie warned him about the company he kept as did many other people. He didn't wanna listen. Matter of fact he ran back and told them how Biggie told him to be careful around them and how they moved so he had to learn on his own. He actually got Biggie in trouble with them for doing that too.

Did anyone ever see the Hot 97 reality show on VH1? This part of Angie's book really shows how fukked up the entertainment industry is and how u have to watch for snakes like Ebro.

Care to explain? I know about the reality shows but of course i never watched it. I dont watch reality shows and why would i watch a Hot97 reality show? But care to explain what u mean?
