1 thing people gotta remember too is, suge saw more superstardom in him then he did snoop and snoop was the star at 1st

remember, suge had been tryin' to see if pac was down to sign a few years before he actually did. i think back when he was filmin' above the rim

but suge took notice that pac had a hunger and drive unlike any other artist on the label and all he wanted to do was work

pac could've had the music and movies on lock down for years to come

ehhh . . it's a decent question but one that lacks basic insight, albeit in a place that hip-hop fans usually don't know to look

Tupac is the greatest songwriter ever in hip-hop and it's not even close

So Tupac was going to write great songs regardless of the context or subject matter

Technically speaking, he was not a great rapper but a great character..
If you lack superior rhyming mechanics, you rely on your personality which is what got him noticed and got him killed.

Pac got shot for not signing to bad boy
If you really look at the situation . . that has something to do with it but is a small part of the picture

It would be perfectly normal and expected for him to not be able to sign with Bad Boy if he's in the middle of a contract he can't get out of and if his friends were offering him a deal that's all he would have to say if he wanted to turn them down without their being any hard feelings. Be he was letting them court him and buy him jewelry and stuff . . so tensions mounted. They may of been angry with the way he handled an interview after leaving the courthouse when he said "Why me?" Then he was disrespectful to Jimmy Henchman while on the way to do the verse for Little Shawn. That sealed the deal

These are the same people who essentially set him up all prior to this. They are the ones who raped her allegedly and he is the one who got blamed. She may of even knew them already
