LMAO... a lot of that was on the Chronic. I don't doubt they took some stuff from 'Pac, as Snoop took a lot of Bay area slang and used it on Doggystyle, but a lot of that stuff was on the Chronic. Oh well.

Oh well.I don't believe it cause death row was the hottest thing out at that time why would they steal anything from tupac of all people ? a lot of that shit was on the chronic and tupac wasn't even callin' woman bitches then. LOL
interesting story.. but I think it's all kind of taken out of context.Obviously 2pac had love for Death Row and they had love for him. 2pac was in the "Natural Born Killers" video. He was a part of the Above the Rim project/soundtrack with them.. supposedly he got paid for work for Murder Was The Case even though they didn't use the songs Suge paid him a gang of money...Death Row didn't bit nobody. I mean it's possible they picked up a thing or two from Pac, but that shit happens... Just like Pac picked up shit from Death Row. I mean Pac was all Panther Power and political shit on his first album and after the Chronic blew up suddenly he was doing all the Thug Life gangsta rap shit... So that stuff just goes on in music where everyone is competing and influencing each other. No big deal at the end of the day.

LOL"don't call me, bitch" was recorded in 1992. so yes, 2pac was calling them hoes bitches back then.
Yeah, back in 1994 on MTV, Dre was talking about 2Pac signing to Death Row and he was even credited on the Above the Rim soundtrack. It seemed like Dre was excited to have him. But 'Pac backed out for some reason, and I think it was more than slang. Might have something to do with movies, or just how Death Row worked different than 'Pac. I some of that slang they are saying Death Row stole, Snoop and them were using on the Chronic in 1992, so I'm thinking 'Pac backing out originally was more to it, he might have had his reasons beyond all of that.
Perfect example of how bad a business man Suge was. He put loyalty over actual contracts like a street thug and not a smart business-minded dude, and he ended up paying the piper for it in the end. Proof is in the pudding.

Proof is in the pudding.seriously dude, how are old are you?Your the type of hater that if Suge was straight business you would complain that "he has no loyalty, it's all about the money with him". And if Suge shows love and loyalty for an artist then you say, "Suge's a bad businessman he puts loyalty before business". Then if Suge was like some kind of fake, phony gettin rich off gangsta rap you would be like, "Suge is a bitch. He's not about that life and he's just exploiting gang culture to make money while he lives a totally different life." But if Suge represents the lifestyle projected in the music and by the artists then you say, "Suge is too caught up in trying to be a gangsta when it's just entertainment, he's a bad businessman".
pac knew death row was a bad place to be earlier on due to him bein' an artist on interscope so you know he was aware of the drama goin' on over there. I've read shit like jimmy iovine basically beggin' pac to sign to death row in '93 because he was too much to handle and he would refuse repeatedly. the only reason he did sign wit death row is because nobody wanted to bail him out of jail the rest is history.....
