[Master T]: Can we talk about Death Row East, what exactly is happening. What
can we expect from it?
[Tupac]: Do you believe in God?
[Master T]: Certainly!!!
[Tupac Shakur]: Then believe in Death Row East, believe in that for real. If you
believe in God believe in Death Row East. We plan to take the same strategie we used with
Death Row West, which is mind over matter , taking all our weekness's and making them into
our strenghts and numbers. We already run these's streets out here. So now we gonna just
gonna help some of these brothers get there money on. Cuz we know they got talent. We got
the ways to make them use there talents to the maximum affect. And thats what it's about.
Everybody raps. We don't rap. We rap to make money. We do business. Ain't no other record
company out there that sold as many records as we did. We outsold Bad Boy, Laface every
black record label out there we outsold them in one year!! And I'm a convict and my
homeboy just got off a murder case. So that tells you it's pure talent. No hype, we don't
got no all around american smiles. They don't even wanna buy are record , but they gotta
buy our record cuz we represent the streets. So Death Row East is gonna be a
personification of what we did on the West Side we gonna do it to the East Side. We gonna
prove once and for all that all these people talking bout a East Coast West Coast war they
like the Juda's was to Jesus. They only here to cause confusion. We here to bring money
and to bring change. They here to bring confusion. All these weak rappers Nas and all
these suckaz they battling off East and West like it's a game. This ain't no game. If this
was chess , we'd be yelling checkmate three muthafuckin' years ago. Cuz we been beat these
muthafuckaz. It's not a game. We out here trying to help out people make money , we trying
to get out of this three strikes circle they got us in and start getting our paper on. So
that's what we doing. By strenght and numbers we comming to the East Coast to prove there
is no fear, there is no problem there ain't nothing but approtunaty and approtunaty is

This Site's Mission
The site showcases Tupac Shakur, a multi-talented legend, who was born in the Bronx, New York on June 16, 1971 and died from fatal gun shot wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 13, 1996.
He is considered by many to be the greatest rapper of all time.
2Pac's lyrics always went deep into the meaning of many political and social subjects including violence, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and broken families.
2Pac was well read as noted by his extensive reading list. 2Pac's poetry also reflected his many sides, some poems were motivated by love, some sought self-understanding and others were angry responses to the cruel injustices of American society.
Not only famous for his music, he was also a well respected actor with several films.
2Pac was down to die for everything he represented. He was very open and always expressed his mind. Some people consider 2Pac a modern-day prophet. Reading some of 2Pac's interviews, lyrics and quotes, its not hard to see why.
Being real and upfront, trouble always seemed to come naturally. Tupac was charged with rape, a crime he did not commit, but was still convicted of sodomy (forcibly touching the buttocks). Many witnesses seen the girl who made these accusations voluntarily give 2Pac oral sex on a night club dance floor. Tupac was also charged with shooting two off-duty police officers, but those charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
The fatal shooting in Vegas was the second shooting 2Pac was involved. The first occured in 1994 in New York.
Most likely, 2Pac's killer was Orlando Anderson, a south-side crip. Theories abound as to who coordinated the hit. Some believe it happened spur of the moment out of Orlando's rage. Others believe Suge Knight had 2Pac killed. The Las Vegas Times recently reported Biggie Smalls had 2Pac killed. Still others, believe it was an elaborate scheme and 2Pac is still alive (he faked his own death).
This site contains pictures of 2Pac, the latest news about 2Pac products and projects, information on 2Pac's tattoos, and anything else 2Pac related. The mission of this site is to show all sides of Tupac -- his thoughts, inspirations, and direction in life. All of this is to be shown through Tupac's lyrics, poetry, music videos and interviews. Hopefully, we can give you a better understanding of Tupac Shakur.
