It wasn’t ever like fuck that we aint gunna be a group no more. Or nothing like that, that was never said. I ended up going to jail for a minute, I had to sit down for about 2 class years. Rated R….some people do know, he got a life sentence for murder.

We gunna always…you know whenever we get a chance like we just finished, oh uh, you know last year you know the outlawz came out to LA we did a show in long beach it was me and the outlawz and you know so we represented Thug Life and the outlawz and Pac.

This passing made 2 yrs that um, you know my son passed away, my oldest son. You know he was going to Cal State Northridge studying film and had a 3.5 grade point average all that doing real good man, mentoring kids and basically playing basketball on campus as forward and his heart stopped out of the blue. Know what I mean? Never had any type of a symptoms or nothing like that. So the last time I seen Mo actually was like 2 yrs ago at my sons funeral. I haven’t really seen him since then, you kno, we aint really talked to0 much but that’s still my homie.

I still got 2 sons left, all my sons, all my kids is from my wife. I wasn’t really big about spreading my kids around, know at I mean? At least that’s all I kno about…haha
Shit, I got my oldest son now that’s 20, that’s Dede, peace out to Dede. And my baby boy is 5 yrs old his name is Deon we call him bookie.

Onealien: Word up, yeah, for real for real. Ey they asking what up with your myspace, they aint seen you on there in a while.
Mac: Yeah, imma be real dog I be in the streets so tuff, I just be grindin and shit you know old school style in the streets n shit, get my money…I got a tshirt line that im moving right now called Hustle 24/7 pushin those shirts n shit out here in the streets, I got um...I sell indian hair as well. You know I always gotta hustle, even before this rappin shit popped off you know I was doin my thing, you kno a lot of shit has been said but you can read between the lines I was always out in the streets kickin it…you feel me?
Im still kickin it, but im just kickin more legitimate way, you feel me?
So I aint got much time to really be fuckin with that computer, even tho I know that’s another outlet to network and get shit poppin, I been tryna get all this you know as much as I can but you know a lot of time Im in the streets just getting it like that.

Macadoshis on THE OUTLAWZ:
Onealien: Ok, ok, ok…ey as we all know Thug Life and Pac and the Outlaws, how you feel like the Outlaws have represented Tupac’s Legacy moving forward?
Mac: Well you know I feel like the little homies is out there doin they thing, you know, they know pac.
The thing pac left us with a legacy, and he left us with a million dollar game you know to keep moving this and I feel like they doin their thing, they out there doin it the best way they know how. So shout out to the Outlawz. To all my lil niggas, you know I seen them little dudes grow up since they was yungstas you feel me? So shout out to all of them, feel me?

Macadoshis on the rap game:
Onealien: ey tell me man, cuz u been in the game a long time so what are some of the main challenges in the hip hop music industry that they gotta keep a look out for?
Mac: ok, yeah right, ok. Shit basically, first and forrmost they should have their business right. They should have a good lawyer on their team. So when they step into the game they don’t get fucked off, cuz a lot of people will step to them and wanna take all their royalties and stuff like that and take all their publishing and stuff like that just to get them to sign. They gotta make sure they got a lawyer first and foremost, make sure their business is tight. Second I would say look for like, I mean the haters are gunna be there, you cant really avoid that. But there is gunna be a lot of mofo that wanna play like they your homies and they are down for you. I would just say really try to keep the circle small. Like I got a saying called my trues come in two’s. So the true people who got love for me and that really is looking out for Macadoshis best interest, is only a few of them, and those are the people I keep close to me, feel me?

Macadoshis – How I met Tupac: the birth of THUG LIFE
Onealien: Do you remember when you first met Tupac?
Mac: Ohh yeah most definitely, I’ll never forget that day man. For me that was like a dream come true. It was a surprise cuz like me and my boy Rated R, we was a group before we met Pac. We was a group called Double Jeopardy. That was our group…. We was like local talent here in LA, you know rockin little clubs here and there. But you know we was both fuckin with Coolio, at the time and Coolio was tryna get us a deal and shit like that. So one day, um, we was leaving a radio station and these ballers was like come meet these cats at the hotel up here by the comedy store in Hollywood, I got a surprise. So we shot up there and shit, long story short, we got to the door. Once we got to the door, knock on the door, and my boy Treach from Naughty by Nature opened up the door! So we was like Oh wow, this is fuckin Treach. Yeah but Treach is hella cool tho, shout out to Treach from Naughty by Nature too. You know Treach is always cool dude, like when we first met him, he embraced us like long lost brothers man, he aint ever seen us in his life. But he just snatched us up and gave us hugs and shit and pounds like he been knowing us all his life. So he was a real cool dude, like he welcomed us in real cool like so I could tell right there it was gunna be tight, know wat I mean?
So yeah, we fell into the room n shit, you know, and walked up in the room and we look around and some bad little bitches sittin up in there on the bed n shit and we like ok, they got all kinda drinks on the table and smell the weed smoke in the air and we turn around and look to the side and who is it? It’s fuckin TUPAC! It’s like wow, what the fuck, we in the room. I mean it was like surreal, know what I mean? I just look back at it now and I’m like damn, just imagine being a young artist, a young rapper out the hood trna get on with it. Finding yourself in a room with Treach from Naughty By Nature, Coolio, and Tupac. It was just favor. You can tell that was the time to shine, if you was ever going to try to shine that was it.
Onealien: That was the moment?
Mac: That was the moment. Everything happens for a reason. So God was shining on us that day when he had us in that circle amongst those great guys right there.
So long story short we got to smoking n shit and drinking and kickin and choppin it up. So I kinda kicked it off, I was like treach you aint got no instrumentals up in here? And my boy Treach was like what instrumentals? So Treach went and grab some cd’s, as a matter of fact it wasn’t even cd’s back then, it was tapes n shit! He grabbed a fuckin cassette tape and it was like 19Naughty2, um the instrumentals form that album. He popped that on and we just started spittin, it was like we got in a circle and got a little cypher going and we was spittin…And whenever I tell this story I always gotta say it like this man, I aint lieing, I always been a pretty good freestyler but like THIS day it seemed like every fuckin word, every line, every, everything I said was poppin, it was just on point. And same for Rated R. And so they was trippin of us like damn. By the time it was over Treach was steppin to us like man who ya’ll fuckin with? Like ya’ll aint on right now? And we was like naw, we just tryna get on. And he was like shit man imma do what i got to do to help you make, help ya’ll get out there. So we exchanged numbers and all that…And he told the dude Vinnie from next door to bring some shirts and all that. So it was about time to bounce tho. So we getting ready to leave and we give everybody dap this and that. We get in the elevator, soon as we get in the elevator my boy Rated R comes out of his pocket like look. Showed me a piece of paper it was Tupac and a note on their like ya’ll call me tomorrow. It was crazy like Pac slid him the number on the sly, know what I mean. Treach was upfront with it like he saw something, but Pac was just Pac and just slid him the number and was like ya’ll call me tomorrow. So we end up calling him the next day. Actually we had met him on that Friday, Saturday we called Pac, he invited us out to his house. He had a house out here in the valley and we went out there and chilled with him at his house, smoked big weed n shit and we was choppin it up and he was telling us about a group he wanted to start called THUG LIFE and you know if we was down we could be in it and shit. And of course we was like HELL YEAH! This how fast the shit happened tho dog, met him on Friday, that Saturday we went out and chilled with him at his house, he told us about THUG LIFE. We said yeah we want to roll with it. That Sunday…then he was like well I’m doin a show in San Diego tomorrow (Sunday), if ya’ll wanna roll ya’ll can roll you know ya’ll cant rap or nuttin like that but you know, ya’ll can be on stage n shit. So we was like hell yeah we wit it. So we met him on a Friday, that Saturday we went and chilled wit him at his house, that Sunday we was in San Diego with him doing the show, and that Monday we was in the studio recording our first record! That’s how that shit happened dog.

Onealien: Damn, just like that, just like that! He was a visionary, when he caught on to something it was a done deal.
Mac: you know I thank God for that day man, know wat I mean? Because Pac was always a real dude, you know what I mean, like from day 1 I gotta say that he was a real dude, he was an honest dude, he was always a man of his word, everything he told us what he was gunna do he did it. I just, I solute ma dog…without him I don’t even think I’d be where I’m at right now in the game as far as in the spot game. Because I got a lot of respect out here
