Guest papacita Report post Posted April 21, 2003 From 411... Says Nas should have never been on a Tupac track... Suge Knight is once again making news. The Death Row head says that Nas was "disrespectful" to Tupac by appearing on the track, Thugz Mansion, even though Shakur was vocal about his distaste for Nas while he was alive. "I think it's real disrespectful to Pac," he lamented. "You gotta put a price on fame; it can't be to the point where you'll do anything for a hit. Be a man and have respect. If you can't respect nobody else, respect yourself. Don't go [do a song] knowing a certain individual didn't care for you. I could see Jay-Z doing what he did more than Nas on the same song with Pac, because Nas and Pac is from two different worlds." Knight, however, defended his decision to let Jay-Z sample Tupac's Me and My Girlfriend for his track, '03 Bonnie and Clyde, despite Pac dissing Jay-Z in many tracks during his life. "Pac can go hard in the paint on anybody when he wanted to and I'm gonna ride with him regardless, but I know Pac didn't have a real disliking for Jay. [Pac] didn't have a disliking to him where if he saw [Jay] he wanted to try and take his head off." "I think it was a situation that we get older, we grow. If Jay wanted to do something that he felt great about, if he wants to do something that's positive and is also not being disrespectful to Pac, why not? Sometimes we gotta be able to open our eyes up." As for the Daz/50 Cent/Tupac collaboration track that is on the mixtape circuit: "That's bootleg stuff. Anything that Daz did, that's bootleg stuff. It's only obvious anything that 50 Cent do on [a mixtape] with Pac, it's bootleg. You gotta look at the respect level of it." Suge plans to tell all in his upcoming autobiography due out in November: "I got a book coming out, which is called 'American Dream or American Knightmare.' I wasn't pumped up to do a book. I felt that most people who do books are in desperate need to grab a few dollars. That wasn't the case with me. I felt there was so many books out speaking on me, speaking on Pac, speaking on Death Row. There's a lot of question marks I need to put periods [on]. It will be aggressive, plus there will be some educational things for the kids." Knight also confirmed that he and Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother, are planning another album release of unreleased Tupac material. Credit: MTV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 21, 2003 Right, cause Knight didn't try and squeeze every penny he could out of 2 Pac after his death. I'm sure that was all about respect and not about cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest My Eyebrow is on fire Report post Posted April 22, 2003 Suge's a compulsive liar but I do know Fatal Hussein - Tupac's more or less best friend before he dies. He told me Pac never hated Jay-z...he just dissed him because Biggie wouldn't answer him - so having beaten big, he needed to beat the real king of NY - next in line was Jay-z. Also it was bickering, because Jay-Z said Pac or the Outlawz weren't great rappers (which was true in retrospect). Pac on the other hand fucking hated Nas - Fatal approached him in real life, off of wax, and Nas totally bitched up and was "all about peace." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted April 22, 2003 Didn't Suge say that Nas and Pac squashed that beef they had. Wasn't Suge supporting Nas last summer when he was fueding with Jay-z? If Nas was being disrespectful then why Suge who owns part of Pac's estate let the "Thugz Mansion" song get cleared. Suge should be thanking Nas because he helped "Better Dayz" sell. Well according to Nas in a interview, him and Pac made peace before he died and asked Pac to take out the lyrics that were dissing Nas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mole Report post Posted April 23, 2003 Suge is a total loser. If I am not mistaken, he believes that he was the one who brought 'gansta' rap to the top. Even though that it was Dre who did it. Who is at top now, and who isn't...hmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
