I'd like to send a big fuck you to anyone that thought/thinks C-Bo is a Bay artist based off of Tradin War Stories. Bo was one of the few featured artists on that album that I was bumpin way before All Eyez On Me

Not directed at you Gemini, just a generalization
Yes! A million props! I was bumping Gas Chamber, The Autopsy & Tales from the Crypt way before All Eyez On Me as well.

I tripped out when I saw he was on 2Pac's album. C-BO for the record is from Sac just incase some of you forgot LOL!

Method Man, Red Man? Both established artists before All Eyez On Me
Although, if you ever read up on the recording of All Eyez On Me you'll know that the song, "Got My Mind Made Up" was not recorded for 2Pac's album. It was originally suppose to go on Tha Dogg Pound's, "Dogg Food." album. By the time they put the Dogg Food album together they had lost the song in the computer and forgot about it. It originally featured Inspectah Deck in place of 2Pac. It was a Wu-Dogg track as they called it. Daz, Kurupt, Inspectah Deck, Method Man & Redman.

During the recording of All Eyez On Me the song surfaced on Daz or Kurupt's computer and decided to give it to 2Pac. 2Pac laid his verse and towards the end of the song you hear Inspectah Deck yell, "I.N.S. The Rebel!" that was a homage to him on that track. They left that in there from the original version.

I seriously don't understand what's the big deal with rappers going to jail / prison. It's like the fans anticipate a great rap album to be recorded upon his release (speaking in general).

The only one to ever do that & truly succeed was 2Pac. He signed to the hottest label at the time and dropped a dope album. Since 1996 rappers & rap fans have this illusion that being incarcerated before recording an album or signing to a hot label is going to bring out the best in you.

The difference? 2Pac had talent. And unlike rappers today, he showed & proved it in his music.


also not to mention Pac had work and impact to do for god in a limited time.

Wu Tang has an upcoming concert in my hometown Hamburg (without Meth) and they are asking EUR 75/ticket. Too high I think, but then again they are gonna have a sold out crowd.

Lady of Rage was on it too. heres the story method man breaks it down

2Pac f/ Tha Dogg Pound, Method Man, & Redman


also there was another version they was gonna use with just pac, red, meth and keith murray. but pac scrapped murrays verse after they had that fight in theclub and put kurupt verse back on it.
