During a newly published interview uploaded to YouTube by JMix/Jesse Surratt Productions, Digital Underground founder Shock G (a/k/a Humpty Hump) opened up about his knowledge of Tupac Shakur’s final moments, following being shot in Las Vegas in 1996.
“[Tupac] was an angel,” Shock G says. “Not an angel in a storybook, an angel for real, in this real world. Getting saved and [getting] kept out of harm’s way until it got too intense for him to live in this form. It got to where it was harder for him to live.”
Shock G later recalled a story he had heard from someone close to Tupac when the iconic rapper passed away in September of 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“What I understand and what I heard, I can’t remember if I heard it from Afeni [Shakur] or somebody who was in that hospital [but] there was somebody in the room when ‘Pac finally took that one little bit consciousness that he took after being in the hospital two years after that final shooting. He came to for a little bit, looked around the room, he was listening, he was on machines and stuff but when they told him that, ‘Yo, this and that happened and we had to take one of your lungs.’ And when he heard that, they said he just went. [He] closed his eyes and let go… He was just like, ‘Me with one lung? That ain’t gonna work. I can’t be Pac with a cane and this and that.’ It would have took the victory of all the things that he’s done and said and I think he’d known that it would have weakened his statement. And his statement was real. He settled for what happened. He let what happened happen. He didn’t know if it was gonna be Vegas but he was kinda asking for that. He was running to it. He just wanted to rest. He couldn’t rest. ‘Pac was tired, man.”

Pac Man!…. There ain’t no day, I don’t listen to Pac. D nigga is real
Wait what, so he didn’t die from the shooting?
Two years after final shooting?
he meant to say two days
This is the biggest load of BULLSHIT thats came out bout pac. He obviously jus sayin this bs for attention.
What’s he talking about? Afeni seen her son was in no condition to live, and pulled the plug on him.
Makes sense. Pac was on a suicidal path that last year or so. He knew what was coming. He rapped about it repeatedly. Troubled soul

ORLANDO ANDERSON DIDN’T KILL TUPAC. HE ONLY SEVERELY INJURED TUPAC.
??I just came to a realization that Tupac wasn’t murdered. His injuries from the shooting were severe that Tupac’s mother, Afeni, decided to pull the plug because she didn’t want Tupac to live disabled. It was said he might’ve not walked, talked, one lung, other organs were removed. So in actuality Tupac displayed how strong his will power was but his mother’s love for her child couldn’t bare to see her son living and suffering. She knew Tupac would’ve preferred death.
Tupac died from the wounds he received during the shooting, no shooting no unstoppable internal bleeding, no unstoppable internal bleeding, no kidneys to start failing, no kidneys failing means not being hooked up to a dialysis machine which caused Tupac’s heart to stop multiple times as the doctor was able to get Tupac’s heart starting again, no final heart attack Afeni does not decide to pull the plug. Tupac died in less than a week from his wounds, the law says that’s murder, plugged being pulled or no pulled plug, it does not matter. Afeni said she pulled the plug because she wanted Tupac to finally rest, not because he was going to live to be disabled.
The doctor told Afeni before he died that Tupac was a very strong man, with rest and rehab he would function normally with only one long. Tupac had no other organs removed, the only organ removed was Tupac’s right lung.
