Mike as in michael jordan. Not tyson. I’m not tryna put no blemish on tyson’s name whatsoever. I’m just curious
So DMC was on Drink Champs claiming Suge damn near signed them and they would've been in the car with Pac if JMJ didn't take too long to get dressed

Mike Tyson is the most relevant boxer outside of Floyd & Canelo up till today. Anything he’s involved in makes it’s rounds.
pretty much this.Death Row East

yep, every year someone comes up with a new story about how they either talked to Pac and big their last day alive or the current trend of, "we were going to be in the car with Pac and Suge. So Spice One, who previously said he was supposed to be in the car and now Run DMC were all supposed to be in the back seat. The 750 isn't that goddamn big to have 4 grown men sitting in the back seat.

yes Tyson was bigger than Jordan in 96. He was released from prison in 95, made $25 million fighting Mcneely, a guy no one had heard of, that summer. Fought Buster Mathis on free tv(Fox) in the fall. Fought Bruno for the title in March of 96(day before Darvin Ham shattered the backboard against UNC). Seldon fight was September 7(I signed up for the army the day before) and Holyfield November 9th. Jordan wasn't even the most popular player on his team. Rodman was more popular than Jordan in 1996. Tyson was on the cover of the Source magazine when he got released from prison. That was crazy at the time. It was the issue that Cuban Linx got 4.5 mics(I still have that one too). So yes, Tyson was larger than life only because he was secluded after prison and in 96. Jordan was easily accessible. Rodman, was a party guy, but somehow more popular than both of them.
glad im not trippin, it does seem like a lot of people keep saying they were supposed to be with tupac or big - but they had to work n shyt

I'm so sick of this shyt. Every goddamn year a new celebrity comes out saying they hung out with or talked with Biggie/Pac on their last day. Off the top of my head
Xscape - Said they talked to Big at the vibe party
Leon- Said he sat near and talked to 2pac at Tyson Seldon fight
Jay z- talked to Big on the phone before he was killed
Omar Epps- ran into 2pac at the hotel 30 minutes before he was shot
There are literally over 100 of these stories. Big and Pac had the busiest last day of their lives than anyone in the history of the world. They spent that last day talking to and hanging out with everyone they had ever known. And I'm not saying everyone is lying because some of these I actually believe, but every year there is a new one.

In terms of signing acts, lot of NYC artist's names were floated around with Suge. Entertainment business revolves around talks, 90% of it doesn't materialize into deals .
Kane, RUNDMC, Keith Murray mentioned Suge expressing interest in signing them.
Dee and Wah actually met with Suge about signing pre fame DMX.

don't forget K Solo and Craig Mack. K solo said he signed the deal and Gene Deal, along with Eric B, stated that Craig Mack was gonna be the first artist on death row east as he was performing the night 2pac was killed at the club. This is true about Craig Mack because I still have an issue of Rap Sheet from 27 years ago stating that Craig Mack was supposed to be on Death Row East. This was long before the internet and podcasts.
There were a few guys in the 90s that were just on another level of celebrity
Like Biggie said (no pun intended), Mike anyone...
Then you had other people like Whitney
for posterity, im not saying hes lying
That’s DMC breh
His name is stamped forever and ever.
Even when all these people yall think are something now are dead, gone and forgotten, that name will forever live on.
Believe that.
He don’t have to lie about nothing.
