I knew he was born in the East but had no idea he was raised there majority of his life. Dude was a clown. Old heads stay calling this generation idiots, lacking identity blah blah blah

But still worshipping a East coast raised art student borderline ballerina turned “west side for life” super gangster. Talk about identity crisis, make it make sense

One of his old rap names was MC New York lol

He was the 6ix9ine of the 90s

Make it make sense? You can read his entire life story, how did it not make sense

this why biggie better

Home is where the heart is

I’m from slokovania but I tell everyone I’m from the Chi

2pac was a lot of things but long as we recognize to this day there has yet to be a rapper that's actually shot a cop (a racist one at that) and beat the case.

MC New York*

I forget how young some of the ppl on here are lol

Claimed Oakland though

Geographically I’m from the Ukraine but my heart belongs in o’block ❤️

Biggie’s mom said he was capping too. Dude grew up in a nice neighborhood

avi

His contradictions is why he’s the GOAT

I’m not that young. I just missed that part somehow. My dad had a book on Tupac with a bunch of stuff. Great music but fraudulent

@CGodJr

I mean Ludacris was 12 when he moved to Atlanta.

Home was never where you're from but it's where you at. 2pac's music career never started until the move to Cali. The Digital Underground stuff was in Cali. Therefore, he claiming Cali.

It would also be one thing if 2pac like....NEVER claimed he was from New York. He literally had a song dedicated to New York on MATW called Old School.

It was never an issue until the 1st shooting happened and every new york rapper (or so it seemed) had discouraging remarks to make about the incident.

But the east coast/west coast war was never supposed to be this big thing it was really just Pac mad at Biggie/Puff for not telling him who shot him when they knew exactly who it was. Especially since Puff was getting extorted.

Turned on NY after Biggie studio shooting. Felt betrayed by his city and waged a war against them. Siding with the West

OP 30 years early

Marin City , California is where he really started rapping. Started working and gettin respect form a lot of Bay Area artists

He only rly started repping west side like that when the beef started tbh

He was a thug but at the same time he was an activist

He was thug life but thug life stood for Hate U Give Little Infants F***s Everyone

He was a member of the young communist league but at the same time wasnt shy about bragging about his wealth lol

He was a walking contradiction but he was still very young during all of this, he died at 25 that's about the same age as most of us on here
