2Pac once had the opportunity to collaborate with Michael Jackson, but walked out of the studio when the King of Pop didn’t show up. At least that’s what Napoleon of the Outlawz claims. Speaking to Cam Capone News, the late legend’s former associate explained why the collaboration never happened.
“‘Pac mentioned one time he was called to the studio to do a song for Michael Jackson, to lay a verse,” he said. “He told his mother, his family, he was excited. He went to the studio and he’s like, ‘Where’s Michael Jackson?’
“They said, ‘Oh he can’t come. They want you to lay the verse.’ He got up and left. And that’s Michael Jackson. He wasn’t man enough to come say hi to me and speak to me? I don’t want to get on his song.’”
Napoleon went on to say 2Pac had his reasons for abandoning the studio sessions. He continued, “He walked out on the opportunity because he was more about ethics and morals. Like we look up to you. ‘If you want me to be on the song, at least say hi to me.’ I don’t think ‘Pac was just doing stuff for money.
“It was more personal if he get on a record with you and stuff like that. He didn’t really care about the money.”
In BET’s oral history of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory published last month, Quincy “QD3” Jones III — the son of Quincy Jones and producer of “To Live & Die in L.A.” — revealed 2Pac’s team attempted to get Michael Jackson on the song “Thug Nature,” which was originally intended for the album.
Michael Jackson Turning Down 2Pac Collab Over Biggie Is 'Lies,' Says Danny Boy
But Jones claimed Jackson denied the request out of loyalty to ‘Pac’s rival, The Notorious B.I.G., who he collaborated with on “This Time Around” in 1995. But former Death Row Records singer Danny Boy disputed those claims in an interview with The Art of Dialogue.
“Shut up, lies,” Danny Boy said. “I hate to be like that wasn’t said, but I remember myself being in the meeting with Michael Jackson and the All Eyez on Me album being played for him, and Michael went crazy. So I don’t see him saying he messed with Biggie and not 2Pac, or you know what I’m saying.
“[Death Row Records co-founder] Suge [Knight] and the Jacksons are very close. They were at that time, so that just don’t sound right to me.”
The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory wound up with contributions from Outlawz, Bad Azz, Aaron Hall, Danny Boy, K-Ci and JoJo, Val Young and Tyrone Wrice, along with uncredited vocal contributions from reggae musician Prince Ital Joe.
who said anything about disrespect they could have arranged another meeting. but that was around the time all that shit came out about sex with boys and michaels nature. i thought elizabeth taylor was his only friend someone telling lies.

This is bullshit.
YEAH BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE HUH? IDIOT…
Nah, it’s just convenient that nobody can verify the story because both main characters are dead. And stop typing in all caps, it’s juvenile…
NO, YOU DECIDED TO CHIME IN WITH YOUR LITTLE OPINION ON SOMETHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE TRUE. EITHER WAY YOU WEREN’T THERE, SO STFU…
Lol, so you were there?

MJ’s Liberian Girl was sampled on Pac’s Unborn Child (posthumously) so it couldn’t have been all bad
2puck was antagonizing Michael jackson Janet jackson Jesse Jackson for, according to him, catering to white folks, so why the fuck would they respect his over sensitive ass?.. glad he got stood up like a biatch, like that one time he was drowning and a women had to save his life. Bitch made
You’re still more invested in dead rappers instead of finding a gf off the internet huh? Fucking loser.
I could see Pac doing that, and in the same breath I could see Michael not showing up. Two superstars though Mike obviously thought he was bigger, and he may have been at the time but Pac is a legend as well. God Bless Them Both.
Not true about MJ loyalty to Biggie, it was because Pac was Banging Kidada Jones (Quincey Jones Daughter) at the time and MJ was Jealous lol.
Shut yo lyin ass up
If my Aunty had balls she’d be my uncle.
See proof, facts, evidence & clues MJ faked his death. This is not some BS; it’s a 13 year investigation detailed in 4 full length documentaries, a short film, an 115000 word EmovieBook, over 600 youtube videos, and thousands of posts. Here are few highlights to get your started:
All death documents are in wrong name, Coroner LIED about how he named and identified dead body, Forest Lawn Mortuary has stated many times that they “don’t have #michaelJackson dead body and never had it, noname has ever been on his crypt, plus FL refuses to confirm he is buried there, there’s no record of Michael Jackson admitted to UCLA on “death” announcement day while his brother Jermaine announced him dead wearing a shirt that read LIVING AS KING when he called his brother the KING of Pop (no doctor was on stage with him), the Conrad Murray verdict calls MJ an “alleged victim” who died on an “alleged date” plus soooooooooooooooo much more, check out MichaelJacksonINsider. com
