Tupac Shakur was murdered 19 years ago, but his impact on Hip Hop can’t really be debated.
And because he was so influential to those around him while he was alive, it’s no surprise that people still have so much to discuss about his life before his passing.
In fact, actor Tim Roth recalls befriending Tupac while they shot their film, “Gridlock’d,” and Roth claims he and others had to chip in and pay for the rapper’s funeral costs because Death Row put him in a financial choke-hold.

I believe it. There is no one Suge won’t f-ck over. Evil bastard.
Sad all around. These record lebels are filthy rich behind these artists. Tupac was a spender though!
I miss Tupac!
Me too. There will never be another.
Sure won’t. There will never be another. Rip
This sh-t makes me so mad. He was loyal to Death Row too. Smh.
Sad but this is business as usual in the music industry.
Unfortunate but it happens to a lot of artists.
Damn.
Much as Ludacris gets on my nerves, the best thing he ever did was put some of these artists on to the fact that they need to take a business course. So they know what they’re signing and what is owed them. Too many just take what’s given or not, without question.
I do wonder why he screwed over Shawnaa. Saw an interview she did on Vlad tv. She’s 1 of the most underrated female rappers.
She really was. I thought she had talent but that’s just me.
He probably signed a 360 deal.
I think Biigie and Tupac would have eventually ended up beefing with and even hating Puff and Suge if they weren’t killed. Both of them were getting screwed over big time.
Poor Afeni.
Some of Pac’s fans ain’t trying to hear this though. They just swear up and down Suge would have never did him dirty but as we can see over the years, Suge doesn’t care about anyone but himself. That’s what made him so dangerous. He literally gave no f-cks about anybody. When you were no longer useful to him, he would discard you away like trash. He was savage. Dre was smart enough to get out when he did but Pac thought he was disloyal. Dre wasn’t disloyal, he just figured Suge out.
I never comment on here . However; I have always said the same damn thing . It’s absolutely disgusting how Suge’s incompetent behind did everyone he’s ever did any type of business with or dated ! I’m a robust Pac Fanatic , been a fan since 91 . It baffles me that many people can’t see the motives behind Suge having Pac assassinated . Orlando was the smoke , the fire was that Pac was livid after he found out about Suge stealing millions of his money in royalties with the help of that crooked lawyer they shared( which is a hell of a conflict of interest btw) and was leaving Death Row .Pac fired that lawyer and told Suge and others that he had completed his three album deal and was leaving and taking his over 200 unreleased masters with him . Suge knew that Pac was the heaviest bread winner in rap period and many Labels wanted to sign Pac. Suge couldn’t take such an egocentric blow , because he’s evil and selfish . He couldn’t bully Pac like he did Dre , Snoop , and the rest .So he had him killed , notice the shooter never aimed at Suge period..If it had have been Orlando , he would have shot the whole damn car up because Suge helped beat him in that Casino . Smdh , karma has been brutalizing Suga Boo every since Pac and Big’s deaths .Look at him now..Happy New Year to all ! RIP PAC AND BIG
The GOAT!
Just wanted to say I still play Pac’s music like it just came out. He really is a legend and sincerely missed.
We all do. That was my boy. He use to do the damn thing in vegas. Real talk.
Pac’s music is still the best rap since light spread and always will be ! Rip GOATEST OF GOATS
