Following the recent release of a phone conversation between late rapper Tupac Shakur and close friend Sanyika “Monster” Shakur, Reverend Al Sharpton has issued an exclusive statement to HipHopDX confirming the rapper’s claims of working together.
During the clip, Tupac mentions speaking with Sharpton in the context of a campaign to “clean up the streets.”
“[Let’s] have these streets cleaned from 6AM to 11PM,” he said. “Let that be for the kids. Let them be safe. No gunshots, no drug dealing…Then, we could get these politicians—I talked to Al Sharpton. He said he can get the police to chill out on those night-time patrols if [we] can get the streets cleaned.”
Issuing an exclusive statement to HipHopDX through his National Action Network today, Sharpton detailed visiting Tupac in jail.
“I visited him twice while he was in jail and negotiated with the warden to get him out of solitary confinement,” Sharpton said.
Tupac served time in the Clinton Correctional Facility beginning in February of 1995. The rapper served just short of a full year in the New York state prison for his alleged involvement in a sexual assault case before being released on appeal.
Sharpton also confirmed his dialog with Tupac following the rapper’s release from prison.
“After he was released,” Sharpton said, “we stayed in touch and we did have conversations about cleaning up the streets and fighting violence.”
Reverend Al Sharpton is a Brooklyn native and longtime civil rights activist. His National Action Network is a non-profit civil rights organization headquartered in Harlem.

Didn’t HHDX expose this nigga as a mercenary just a few years ago??? Fake ass website
According to Eddie Griffin, Sharpton is two-faced. He’s really gully, but he talks another way for bourgie blacks and the white establishment. Either way, I think Pac’s heart was in the right place. He was contradictory, as well, but he only reflected the warring dichotomy of the war between good and evil that every man who loves life yet tries to be real.
HHDX once did a piece on how Sharpton was extorting black men during the east coast vs west coast beef
Al sharpton shut the fuck up you puppet! You are a straight up snitch!!!
