Were you close with Pac? Do you have any stories?
What? I tried to mentor Pac. We were peers, but he was a lot younger than me. One night we were at Prince's club Glam Slam. [Compton MC] King Tee, he had a drinking problem, was there and he sees Pac wearing a burgundy bandana. Tee tells him to take it off, and Pac refuses. Then Tee tries to snatch it off of Pac's head, so — bam! — he gets socked in the face. The fight spills out of the club, and now they're separated. Pac crosses the street to where his crew is, but Tee follows him over there to talk more shit.
All these guys start whooping his ass, like...
[Stands and kicks the couch furiously with both legs; our recorder falls off the arm.]
So I run across the street and get over him. [On all fours.] And I yell, "Pac, make them stop!" He's like, "Cool, you saw him! He started it!" And I'm like, "You know he's a drunk!" So Pac calls them off and helps me up, like, "He's lucky you were here." And he was, too. I picked up Tee and pretty much carried him back.

now we know the true story
-
well for all we know Coolio's recollection may be inaccurate, I mean it's Coolio (with everything that it entails) and that story is almost two years old now
-
I don't know if you can believe this crackhead. You never know though.
-
nobody believes Coolio :-[
"I tried to mentor Pac" - so did apparently every other west coast rapper from the mid-nineties that met him once or twice :laugh:
-
sorry coolio I don't believe it.
-
I heard about this scuffle back in like 01-02.
The story I heard was that King Tee punked 2pac for being a fake gang banger/wearing the red bandana.
I guess I believe this scuffle occurred but not sure who came out on top.
Outlawz also dissed Xzibit on 'Bomb 1st'...maybe because of this incident.
-
sorry coolio I don't believe it.
coolios word means more than your goofy ass

I thought edi mean of the outlawz dissed xzibit on bomb first, because of the paparazzi track.
"It's a shame niggas in the rap game only in it for the money and the fame"
Edi:
Got a little question for that nigga that made "Paparazzi"
If you ain't in this rap game, for the motherfuckin cash mayne
then what is your motherfuckin purpose?
-
I remember reading in an old vibe where snoop said pac almost beat king t's ass not actually beatin' king t up. I can't picture king t lettin' tupac of all people beat him up.

Coolio should have a little more credibility than other rappers when they brag about their connection to Pac.
Pac met two members of Thug Life - Machadoshis and Rated R - through Coolio, so he must have interacted with him a good deal, spent enough time around him to get to know two of his homies and give them an opportunity to blow up.
To me, Coolio's story sounds believable. Sounds to me like Pac was rollin deep and King T was drunk - no surprise, then, that T was getting whooped. It doesn't make Pac an unbelievable gangster for his homies to beat up somebody who disrespected him.
-
can we have J Mix come in here with an analysis of 2pac being a blood at the time of this incident?
oh wait, J Mix disappeared after ripping people off? no way! :D
-
Not sure I believe Coolio. Do I think 2Pac tried to fight King Tee and his boys all tried to jump Tee, yeah, that sounds about right. Do I believe Tee was drunk, yep sounds about right. But if there were other rappers there, then I am pretty sure cooler heads preval.
-
King T was bad enough to steal Pac's bandana
but Tanner placed the call to Too Cool and Del Dog and got him blasted away
-
Recently I've thought that maybe King T was lowkey dissing 2Pac on the bonus track 'That's Drama' from Thy Kingdom Come. I might be reaching a bit since the album was meant to come out about 2 years after 2Pac died, but certain lines do apply to Pac, and Coolio's story seems to back that theory up a bit. Maybe T wrote the song a while back, I don't know. If it's not about him though, who is T dissing?
-
The story about the altercation came out over 10 years ago. Never once has a wild fight like this been mentioned. Just a rapper trying to generate some attention.

you know what the source was? a SHORT ASS quote from Snoop that gave little specifics
this could very well be what happened

Some time ago somebody thought that King T was dissin' WC on the song, i don't know though. It wasn't a bonus track on the album by the way.

Tee got that warning reinforced on Twitter. Don't make him make the call

Now I see the reason for the twitter beef. Tanner was clearly cosigning Coolio
-
Sounds like Pac got punked and than ran out to get his crew while T chased him and got stompted out....
-
True Story.
Ed Lover confirmed this on Twitter.
C'mon Son!!!! hahahaha
-
So did I read it correctly, because I checked his Twitter? Did Ed Lover just co-sign Coolio?
-
I took what you call a #DrinkingProblem and turned it into @ThaAlkaholiks & #ThaLikwitCrew WHAT HAVE YOU DONE 4 #hiphop? @Coolio

Oh NO! KingT X Coolio beef...another West Coast downfall
But If King Tee is too angry...the history is true
-
the EXTREME irony of his quote is that Coolio's biggest hit, Gangsta's Paradise, alone trumps anything King Tee has made in his entire life.
most people don't even know King Tee was on the Chronic 2001 cd

well commercially definitely, artistically I think Tee's legacy is above Coolio's. Coolio was an amazing rapper at some point but King Tee's lyricism and the movement he spawned carry the day imo.
-
but Coolio got the FAME
dude is known everywhere most rap heads don't even know who king tee is not that he isn't dope
-
well fame is more of a hassle than anything if you ask me, i'd rather have the rep than the fame. fame brings you mostly trouble, you're getting judged by everybody when they don't know you, you can get hated on, stalked, harassed, plus fame doesn't equate with buck even if having a recognisable faces can enhance your opportunities to make money. i'd rather be Mack Maine than Drake, Slim than Wayne, Paul Rosenberg than Eminem...
-
what good is a rep is nobody knows who king t is
-
Are yall really arguing about coolios and king ts "fame"? ??? ???
-
The two are Los Angeles OGs.
Both were in the scene since 1580 kday
Tee career is more consistent (La Dream Team+solo+likwit crew)...but Coolio had a big role on rap popularity success (his 3 first albums are fire)
