2Pac once enjoyed a home-cooked Thanksgiving meal at the hands of Tisha Campbell, and the actor casually recounted the story during a recent visit to The Breakfast Club.
On Monday (March 6), Campbell appeared on the popular Power 105.1 morning show alongside fellow actors Yvette Nicole Brown and Kym Whitley to promote their new show Act Your Age. As she discussed learning to live in the moment, she shared an anecdote about how previously mentioning the early ’90s dinner to a friend led to her realization that she needed to be more present.
“Just now I’m starting to – at the age that I am – really look around as it’s happening. I’m in the moment,” Tisha Campbell began. “I’m present in it but I wasn’t before. It was a friend of mine named Berkley and he had made me more conscious of living in the moment because I would say random stuff like, ‘Oh yeah, when I made Thanksgiving dinner for 2Pac.’ And he was like, ‘You can’t just say you made Thanksgiving dinner for 2Pac,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, that’s not normal?’”
She continued: “It was just like me, [my then-husband] Duane [Martin] and he came over and we all just had Thanksgiving [dinner]. It was a bunch of us. I used to have really big parties. Now my parties are like two, three people. I used to cook a lot and so people would just come over… I cooked for like 30 people every single time.”
It’s not just every day someone could break bread with an artist who’s debated amongst the Hip Hop greats – or if you ask Melle Mel, one of the most impactful artists of all time.
In a recent interview, Mel said the late Death Row rapper’s impact on the culture exceeds that of JAY-Z or Biggie.
“2Pac is a greater rapper than Biggie and I would say the same thing for JAY-Z,” he said. “JAY-Z has a better rap game than 2Pac. 2Pac’s rap game, I’m not gonna say is basic but it’s predictable … but he had more of a range of what he could say.
“I think JAY-Z has a better spit game, but to say that makes the better rapper that is being judged on one criteria,” he added. “I feel 2Pac’s imprint on the game is greater than JAY-Z. JAY-Z is a better rapper than 2Pac. It’s the same thing I feel about Biggie, Biggie is a better rapper than 2Pac.”
He continued: “His imprint in the game [was huge] because things changed. All that Thug Life shit, it came from him. If you change the landscape, that’s greatness.
“In JAY-Z’s position, it’s harder to change the landscape because he’s a billion-dollar dude. You’re not gonna have a thousand billion-dollar dudes coming behind JAY-Z, but you did have a 100 guys that wanted to be like 2Pac. The greatness is in how he changed the game.”
Well, you didn’t make Thanksgiving dinner for Pac. That’s that attention whoring that people don’t like about entertainers. Sounds like he just came over with a bunch of other people to your house on Thanksgiving day and got some food with everybody else, but she made it sound like it was some kind of intimate thing when there were probably 40 or 50 people there.
Sounds like you need a hug.
“It was a bunch of us. I used to have really big parties. Now my parties are like two, three people. I used to cook a lot and so people would just come over… I cooked for like 30 people every single time.” —- seems like she made it sound exactly what you’re bitching about her not doing. Also, if he was 1 of the 30 people at her Thanksgiving dinner, which she cooked, then yes, she did cook for Pac.
For most people, cooking for someone implies you did it for some one especially, but you weirdos do you. When I run by my aunt’s house or something, I wouldn’t say she cooked for me. My wife cooks for me. SMH.
Youre exactly right!!! She tried to make that way more intimate than it was….Tisha sit your old clout chasin ass down maam….😆😆😆
Black people and their so called black Jesus they call Tupac SMH… He’s just a human being who happens to be a good rapper and did a few movies. Nothing else, nothing more. Everything he said have been said before him. Stop acting like he was a gift from God dropped from heaven. And y’all wonder why black people ate shit for almost 500 years huh! GTFOH

Highly a white guy…anyway your opinion is not worthy and it doesn’t count… be gone! Next..,
Tupac was a movement asswhole. Nothing regular about him
He Definitely WAS and IS a gift from god! Not about black or white stop spreading hate because one day u will answer for it!
You have to be a racist ass KKK or something,go do something else with your life instead of putting blacks down.keep hiding behind your phone jack ass
And then he got popped trying to act gangster. End of story. 30 years later he’s a folk hero and a visionary. Too bad he didn’t see where his own BS would take him.

Fuck you, get a life instead of making negative comments 😡 stupid people on social media period
Doesn’t have to be white, to be right.
He could be white or brown, green, yellow but Tupac was killed by his own kind.
