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!
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.
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.
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.
