Conversations regarding Tupac’s relationship with Death Row normally revolve around Suge Knight and him being a high-ranking member of the notorious Bloods gang.
However, according to a recent Instagram post from Tha Dogg Pound member Daz Dillinger, ‘Pac had ties to rival gang The Crips.
“BEFORE TUPAC WAS ON DEATHROW & CURSED BY SUGE HE WAS CRIPP’N WITH ?THUGLIFE? I TOLD HIM THE NITE WE DID THE 5 SONGs FOR @alleyezmovie THE ALBUM I SAID ?PAC DONT LET THIS GANGBANG COME BETWEEN US AKA DEATHROW VS DOGGPOUND TruFactz,” wrote Dillinger under a picture of Tupac wearing a blue bandana.
Interest in Tupac is strong as his All Eyez On Me biopic is set for release in June. Most recently, Ice-T spoke with Drink Champs about the first time he heard infamous Biggie diss track “Hit Em Up.”
‘Pac never officially claimed a gang and was known for once attempting to bring a treaty between both the Bloods and Crips around 1992 in Watts. Putting together a Thug Life code, Pac tried to reduce violence in the community.
As Suge spends his time in jail awaiting trial for murder charges stemming from a 2015 incident in Compton, Daz made an Instagram post last year taking shots at the former Death Row head.
I don’t think he was crippin he just had a bunch of rollin 40s with him before death row…
Pac was a emotional misguided lil dude with a neopolian complex
Very true actually
Huey Newton and Real Talk are both wrong. Pac did not have a Napoleon complex. Pac was all about respect. He let others get their money east coast, west coast and in between. He co-throned Death Row with Snoop, the other capo in conglomerate called Death Row. As a smaller dude, he had to force his respect, but if there were no problems with you, he was cool. You both don’t know what you’re talking about.
Tupac was never in a gang. He was just affiliated. These are facts. He was never courted in as a blood or a Crip. He had friends on both sides. When Suge paid his bail and hot him out of prison, that’s where his loyalties where. Too bad. I think Orando Anderson and two of his Crip friends are who killed Pac and sprayed that BMW. Fits their M.O. Perfectly. Converted full auto Mac 10s. Oh well. After getting shot in NY he should have thought about his life and listened to all of the OGs around him. We would still have great music from one of the greatest MCs of all time. I hope these youngsters learn something from all of this…
Members from mob piru claim he was actually a full fledge member of the bloods he got jumped in and everything. But yeah Pac started hustling backwards gangbanging ain’t beneficial
Shut ur gossiping ass up. You spreading rumors started by a bunch of clowns that never did anything with their life. All they have is this story to tell about how pac “was one of theirs”. This shit is pathetic and so are u for gossiping about the shit.
Pac was no gangbanger but a ballerina lol
From an OG I spoke to Tupac he hung out with a set but was never jumped in.
If anyone really listen the song F,,, World,, ,2pac said it his self,, I DON’T GIVE FUCK IF U BLOOD OR CRIP LONE AS U GOT LOVE FOR PAC,, THEIR UR ANSWER
He said, “As Long As You Got Love For Thugs”
Who gives a rats ass…blood or crip u all clowns! Tupac was a fucking actor. Its mad funny how these cats want to use him to legitimize this thing of theirs lol. Going nowhere fast with that corny gang shit.
Pac was an honorary member of East Side Mob Bompton Piru. Never jumped in but was definitely family. Suge was never jumped in but grew up in the area and was an honorary member as well. Buntry, Mob James, and Timmy Ru created Mob Piru from Lueder Park Bompton Piru. Baby Lane definitely did the shooting in Vegas. He was known for shooting in Compton. Had 2 bodies before Pac.
Pac been gone over 20yrs and this is how we show respect bout what gang he was in, how bout being down wit GOD’s Gang and try and raise your children and try and live a decent life education is the key
Pac is the G.O.A.T.
PAC actually was jumped in by B Rad out of the Malibu Most Wanted set in Malibu California the hardest hitting set in California he had concerns about how it would affect his image but felt that they were as hard as his lyrics and it was a good fit.
I don’t know this gang bang shit. Is Malibu Most Wanted Blood or Crip?
They used the gamecast to jump you in
PAC was just affiliated just like dpgc said. At a time DP, Snoop, Suge and others were ALL family so I think it actually disrespects Daz cause he didn’t have to share…but he did. PAC spent A WHOLE LOT of time with Daz, Kurupt, Snoop and nem though on different sides or colors-Nothing stopped them from burning up the mic….they were the most powerful record label out during that time until shit fell apart and the misunderstandings/misconceptions and instigating began. Which I strongly believe caused the downfall of the death row empire along with all the crazy shit that went down there…….It’s crazy how things change but a damn shame it ain’t the same…..and never will be.
soooo basically Pac was set trippin….
Daz is one of the most underrated hip-hop producers. top 10 imo
Thug life ain’t no good life, no matter who you claim.
I dont give a fuck ..that new krayzie and bizzy bone album is coming soon..the new single out already..no one flipping like bizzy ..its fire for realz…grown ghetto gospel music..fuck all that wanna be but cant be (coming home ft stephen marley
Pac connected and still connects with anyone who can relate to his music, his messages, his fears , his love , his anger, his hope, his opinions, his foresight….whether he was bloood or crip… was and is irrelevant…thats not his legacy…. his legacy is his artistry. 2pac was Tupac
