You're right but anyone with life experience knows the growth between 18-21 is really what defines how you'll enter adulthood. If I reviewed your resume which said "grew up the same place, never went anywhere, stayed the same place his whole life" (just as an example, I mean no disrespect, some people are born in places that are worth staying) vs. "moved many places, had to establish and re-establish himself to new surroundings and environments" . . which is the more admirable look?

Also don't forget prenatal Pac who was being held in the stressful environment of a young woman's body who was dealing with the stress of incarceration and court proceedings . . there's been studies that say high-stress pregnancies directly affect the chemistry make-up of the baby and has been linked to a possible association with bi-polar disorder . . you can imagine how such stress would affect a young embryo

I'm not gonna disagree with you. I just know Cali nikkas don't let other nikkas slide with that shyt. Not being from the town and claiming it. They quick to ask a nikka "what middle school u went to" "where ya grandma live AT" they gave this nikka a pass they don't usually give because he captivated them. Round these parts you don't claim the town if you 17 and 8 months and moved here

You're right. That's Oakland for you, highly-inclusive area

He made songs about being a teen hanging out at Latin quarter, drinkin 90 proof on the roof and ducking transit cops. :pachaha:

It's common knowledge he later went to HS with jada pinket in Maryland
Jada Pinkett Smith shares yearbook photos of herself with former classmate Tupac Shakur | Mail Online

Look at him in them pictures nikka he was pretty much grown.

Like I said, common knowledge he was 17 when he moved to Cali. Fact nikka, regardless of whe re I'm from. I'm from where he's from nikka.
He's still from cali you simpleton. It's common knowledge that he's from more than ONE state and he can claim them all. And LOL at you talking about one goddamn song "old skool" his whole career was west coast driven. He got his first deal in Oakland and his former group based in Oakland. Foh.

We do this even when we meet people when we're out of state who say they're from Cali.

Well he got ran out of Oakland so there was some of that too,then he fukked around and dropped some undeniable West Coast classics and showed love and got initiated:banderas:...he earned his pass and had it while he was alive,and he repped it:manny:.

Bone Thugs was so tough when they came out and had the look,Cali probably woulda claimed them nikkas too if they woulda stopped screamin Cleveland:pachaha:.

I don't think it goes no deeper than Pac repped the west as a whole harder than anybody in the history of west coast rap,and he claimed it,and everything about em was west coast:salute:...meanwhile Pac doin tracks wit Nas downplaying the east west beef and everybody involved like the east aint have that azz whuppin comin:obama:...Dre picked sides by being on the fence.

Most importantly Dre was never THAT nikka,he was the nikka behind cats who was THAT nikka....first it was Cube and Eazy,then it was Snoop....Who the fukk was gon ride wit a great west coast PRODUCER over a great west coast rapper:mjlol:?....Yall lookin at Dre as if his name held the weight it does today,he was respected but end of the day he's a great producer and that's it,he wasn't looked at the same back then. It takes a long time for a producer to be held in the esteem Dre is today....same way a NBA coach gotta be great for much longer than a player does to earn that level of respect from fans....Dre wasn't always Larry Brown,and he was never and will never be Iverson:manny:

He went after Jimmy Henchman, Tut and Haitian Jack

nikka just waited til Suge gave him courage tho

"I heard he was light skinned, stocky with a Haitian accent
Jewelery, fast cars and he's known for flashing (What's his name???)
Listen while I take you back (nikka SAY HIS NAME!) and lace this rap
A real live tale about a snitch named Haitian Jack
Knew he was workin for the feds, same crime, different trials
nikka, picture what he said, and did I mention
Promised a payback, Jimmy Henchman, in due time
I know you bytch nikkas is listenin, The World Is Mine
Set me up, wet me up, nikkas stuck me up
Heard the guns bust but you tricks never shut me up
Touch one of mine on everything I own
I'll destroy everything you touch, play the game nikka
All out warfare, eye for eye
Last words to a bytch nikka, "WHY YOU LIE?!?"
Now you gotta watch your back, now watch your front
Here we come, gunshots to Tut, now you stuck
fukk the rap game, nikka this M-O-B
So believe me we enemies, I go against all odds"

it did take suge's battery and tlc for for pac to murmur there names in against all odds.......ironic jimmy would end up bullying suge fat ass too:wow:

He went in on them nikkas and at the time nobody knew who any of these dudes were unless you were from NY or in the streets like that.. so it wasnt like it was some shyt done for the sales or the fans, Honestly Can you imagines if he had lived and THAT shyt came out? Pac knew what time it was and that was more in reponse to that shyt bad boy was sayin like ''how come he dont call the real dudes who shot him out?'' so the nikka went in on them and bad boy, he had to know shyt was goin get hot but my nikka was playin to win in 96..

As Curtis Sc00n said, real OGs lowering themselves to beefing with rappers is the corniest shyt ever. You lose stripes for being in a REAL beef with a rapper. That's like a Lion feuding with a lamb.

Yeah C.sc00n can say whatever but at the end of the day, they did rob and shoot the lamb nikka for whatever reason, and when that rapper got a real nikka backin them like suge at the time, even the hardest OGs going see that shyt as real, now im not saying pac or suge was going kill these dudes or some shyt but when you havea volatile rapper dude who you shot and a Ceo goon with rumors of havin shyt done, you goin take notice, and for the record i dont think it was suge gassing pac up, they just had mutual enemies at the time and they decided to turn the heat up on these dudes (bad boy)

Real OGs didn't even respect Suge on that level either, but I get what you mean. Henchman ended up punking Suge too

I dont think Suge even wanted the respect though, he wont ever in a set, he started his own shyt and had his group of killers, and from what i read it wasnt really a punking unless you talkin bout havin him shot at that kayne party? i read greg kadding say back in 96 henchmen had about bunch crip with him and stepped to 2pac and told him to stop fukkin with biggie ,puff,etc and suge stepped up and asked was everything cool which pac told him it was, no idea if thats the incident your talkin about?
