Some misinformation in the last two posts. Kendrick is not a Blood, but he grew up in the Lueders Park area. Big Syke and Mopreme were not in the Outlawz, even if they did take on dictator names... it's because everyone was supposed to contribute toward a bigger group Outlaw Immortalz (which was to include Syke and Mopreme, hence their "new" aliases), but it didn't work out that way, with Mopreme not hanging out with Death Row anymore since he got punked there (it's mentioned when he was interviewed for the Biggie & Tupac documentary, though he didn't go into much detail) and Syke eventually hanging out less and less with Death Row too, so the younger guys became the Outlawz, pretty much being a combination of Fatal & Felony (Kadafi) and Dramacydal, and being Pac's crew. Syke didn't get kicked to the curb, but like I said, he was around Death Row (and Pac) less and less as 1996 progressed.
Tupac was gang affiliated otherwise he wouldn't have felt so entitled to swing on a dude from a rival gang that had nothing to do with him. He died for MOB Piru best believe. Anyone who says otherwise is in denial.

And people should stop denying that Pac shouted M.O.B. thoughout 96 as a sign of Blood-affiliation. Yeah, he developed an alternate meaning - Money Over Bitches - but it would be retarded to think that every time Pac said N.I.G.G.A. or T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. he was using these words purely in reference to the acronyms he developed rather than in reference to what the words typically meant. It would be like thinking that on "Rather Be Ya N.I.G.G.A." Pac is saying "I wanna be your never ignorant getting goals accomplished"....come on now, he was using M.O.B. and Nigga always with variable meanings, never only in the sense of his acronyms.
When was "My Closest RoadDoggz" recorded? That song always sounded to me like it belonged very close to the end of Pac's life, but meybe it was earlier in his Death Row days, perhaps closer to AEOM?
It's interesting to see the distancing of Syke/Mopreme as the consequence of a Blood-dominated culture at DR. Never thought about it that way, but it makes sense.
Pac said in the VIBE interview: "I murdered Thug Life. Them niggas didn't act right. I murdered Thug Life and gave birth to the Outlawz." I wonder: what did the niggas in Thug Life do wrong that pissed off Pac? My guess: nothing at all, but Pac was paranoid, and probably thought they didn't represent him hard enough while he was in jail or something, and so Pac viewed that as disrespect. That would be typical of how Pac interpreted people's behavior. He said it himself that he was paranoid.
pac didnt "develope" the phrase "money over bitches" was used by MOB Pirus aswell. watch on youtube hood2hood mob piru or something to lazy to find the vid where da pirus chillin sayin money over bytches an shit..even mentioned buntry and cursed his killer.
Regarding My Closest RoadDoggs: I wonder if the revised version might have been changed to a Pac Solo track with Suge in mind rather than Syke? The M.O.B. and gang references in Pac's verses fit better with Suge being the Closest "Row" Dawg rather than Syke.
It's funny that there's been so much speculation about beef between Pac and Suge. Yes, Pac was pissed off about money. But clearly he loved Suge and rode with Suge and basically died because of his loyalty to a gang he only joined because of his friendship with Suge. I'm sure Pac blamed the money mis-handling on accountants and white-collar people, not Suge.
question for jmix are you going to try interview ygd top dog or tha realest ?and you and 2pac forum are affilitated because they seem to interview the same ppl and ask the same questions ??thanks
Topzilla lol interviewing tha fakest is a waste of time just like other interviews in the past as soon they start asking him questions hes quick to change the subject around and start talking bout other thingslike sports and other rappers and to finish it off with how all rappers are really broke cause of record deals they signed and if ur lucky to get him to talk about himself everything is going to be bullshit with lies lol i will love to hear a topzilla interview i hear he has unreleased dr dre songs that was meant for death row inside out that turned into the chronic 2000
