Something I've always wondered about this video: who is the other guy standing behind Tupac at the beginning, the one who isn't Big Syke? I vaguely remember seeing a handwritten treatment for the video which said that Syke and Bogart were the two people behind Pac here. Anybody know if this is correct?The name Bogart appears in a few of Pac's songs as some obscure homie of his and Big Syke's. He's mentioned in ad-libs on Picture me Rollin and All Eyez On M, as well as in one of verses on Closest Roaddawgz ("big Bogart got the alibi").

Big Syke's "Be yo self" song sounds a lot like a 2pac diss to mefunny how it took a dozen years for me to notice

Dudes are just playing a role and never really believe in themselves, let alone the shit they're talking at that one minute That's bullshit... there are so many fake studio gangstaz in rap, but Snoop is one of the rare instances where art does imitate life. His time selling rock with the Crips, and getting locked up, shaped who he was as a rapper, and it was an honest portrayal in the Snoop Doggy Dogg days....Obviously, later he got rich and comfortable and became a family man and wanted away from that life. Then he kind of took the Dre route and started doing the shit as entertainment. But he is still inspired from his past so there is still that element of reality.

But being Pac's homie sometimes can seem like a hard job. I mean, look how shit fell through with his homie Stretch... and then word is Syke and Pac were at odds before his death. I think Pac really demanded a lot out of his friendships, and I mean, rightfully so... considering all that he gave in return to his homies.
people always bring that Snoop betrayal Pac shit, what about Pac doing song with Bone Thugs, do anybody was mad at him for that? He had more balls to stand up against Suge & Pac than if he would start dissin Biggie.

it was highly embellished tho...i mean, was he bout it? yea, no doubt. but no commercial rapper was really bangin in the way they portrayed themselves, and thats a fact.
Brian, when you understand that Brotha Lynch Hung isn't a bay area rapper maybe Sccit will have time for your "approval".
