I think Suge had a liking for Pac, he enjoyed hanging out with him, but that wasn't going to stop him from ripping him off.
People in the industry do that all the time, steal money from artists whom they like as people. It's "just business, not personal".
I've always thought the "Suge killed Pac" thing was some wild conspiracy believed by people who watch too many movies. People get killed all the time. Pac was in a shooting in 92' in Marin City when a kid got killed, he was in a shootout in 93' with the off-duty drunk cops, got robbed and shot in 94' in Quad Studios. Would Pac getting killed somewhere else be suspicious where people would go "oh, it must be Suge!!"??
When Pac got shot in Vegas, damn near everyone had two reactions.
"I hope he pulls through" and "he got shot AGAIN???!!"
It wasn't surprising at all. Suge could have had Pac killed in a number of places. Pac was out on bail and pending appeal, there was a good chance he was going to end up back in prison if he wasn't shot, just like Suge did, for violating parole on that beatdown of Baby Lane which was caught on video.
Suge is gonna be like "hey shoot from another car several times, please don't me, I'm only a 6'5, 350 lb target....I have to take this risk of getting shot because it HAS to look good".
I think this is important for Pac fans. This question is discussing for years. Some of them says Suge killed Pac( for me it is fully bullshyt), some of them says Suge controled and used Pac for money, some of them says Suge really loved Pac, Pac was Suge's lil homie. What do you think?
