The Reason Why 2Pac Got Shot 5 Times (He Shot Himself?!) Hotney 5 Streams • 3 years ago

2Pac Vs The Notorious BIG Beef, Biggie - Who Shot Ya, Who shot 2Pac at the Quad Studios (Jimmy Henchman, Haitian Jack, Dexter Isaac, King Tut), Against All Odds & Holla At Me

By now, many rap fans are familiar with the 1994 shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur in New York City’s Quad Studios. The incident is what sparked the now infamous East Coast-West Coast feud after Shakur accused Diddy and Notorious B.I.G. of being involved in this setup. On his 1996 album “The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory”, Shakur penned a track titled “Against All Odds”, where he name-drops several of his adversaries including Nas, Mobb Deep, Jimmy Henchman, and Haitian Jack.

On the song, Tupac not only accuses Henchman and Haitian Jack of orchestrating the 1994 shooting, but also alleges that Jack is a government informant for the FBI.

In November 1994, Tupac was in New York, where his sentence was to be read- a lawsuit brought against him by Ayanna Jackson. Just a day before the sentence was announced the rapper had been shot five times in the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan, New York. Contrary to the doctors’ orders, 2Pac appeared in the courtroom the next day to hear his sentence personally.

But what exactly happened on November 30, 1994, at the Quad Recordings building?

A man named Jimmy Henchman got in touch with 2Pac and offered him to record a song with a young artist named Little Shawn. Pac agreed to do the track for the sum of $ 7,000 and went at Quad Recording Studios on 723 Seventh Avenue.

However, Tupac and Little Shawn’s record never happened as Pac was shot five times in the lobby of the studio. He was a victim of an armed robbery carried out by three people, and having reached for his weapon instead of lying on the floor, Tupac received five bullets and ended up in the hospital.

It was believed that the man behind the shooting was Jimmy Henchman. Years later, he acknowledged his involvement in the shooting, and Tupac himself promised him payback in his song “Against All Odds” – “Promised a payback, Jimmy Henchman, in due time.”

In 2011, a new confession related to the shooting at Quad Recordings was made. A man named Dexter Isaac, who is currently serving a life sentence but for very different offenses, said he had received $ 2,500 from Jimmy Henchman to participate in the robbery. Dexter said he was promised to keep all of Tupac’s jewelry he could get, except for one particular ring that Henchman wanted for himself.

In the song "Holla At Me", 2Pac talks about his former close friend, Stretch, who he felt had betrayed him and helped set him up on the infamous 1994 Quad Studios shooting—an unofficial theory that was later confirmed by one of ‘Pac’s shooters.

Lyrics

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Lyrics:
A world of smoke and fire
Beneath the blood red sun
Eruptions, storm and thunder
Show destruction has begun

We didn’t hear the warnings
We never saw the signs
There’s suffering and vengeance
Leave your hopes and dreams behind

A kingdom will rise now from heaven above
The gates open up for our defeat

So fear the fury of the gods
Lightning’s strike and burn the sky again
Fear the fury of the gods
Rage will hit you as you fight in vein
Fear the fury of the gods

We watch the mountains tremble
And crumble to the sea
The reapers are among us
We'll meet our destiny

As armies, kings and heroes
Are drowning in a flood
The world we knew is ending
You can feel in your blood

A new reign will rise from the heavens above
The gates open up for our defeat

So fear the Fury Of The Gods
Lightning’s strike and burn the sky again
Fear the fury of the gods
Rage will hit you as you fight in vein
Fear the fury of the gods

Compton's Most Wanted - Growing Up In The Hood (Boyz N The Hood Soundtrack) Hotney 5 Streams • 3 years ago

From the "Boyz N The Hood Soundtrack" soundtrack (1991). Also appears on C.M.W.'s album "Straight Checkn 'Em".

Compton's Most Wanted is a classic American gangsta rap group and one of the pioneers of the West Coast Hip Hop scene still performing today on independent labels. The leader of the group was MC Eiht.

C.M.W. included rappers MC Eiht and MC Chill, and DJ Ant Capone who was later replaced by DJ Mike T, and producer DJ Slip. The Unknown DJ was also a producer for the group though not officially a member.

Their first three albums It's a Compton Thang, Straight Checkn 'Em and Music to Driveby, were produced by DJ Slip and The Unknown DJ, who produced both Electro funk tracks as well as Ice T's classic gangsta song "6 In the Morning". MC Chill was an original member of C.M.W. at the time of their first album It's a Compton Thang, but was sentenced to imprisonment in 1991 before Straight Checkn 'Em was issued. He was released from prison in 1994. During his time in prison he missed C.M.W.'s two biggest albums "Straight Checkn 'Em" and "Music to Driveby". After three years behind bars, MC Chill did not have the chance to return to the group as they broke up following Music to Driveby. Instead, Chill decided to work with MC Ren and MC Eiht for their solo albums. In 2000, the group reformed and released "Represent". They are known especially for their slow, often melancholic raps, using samples from 1970s soul and funk records such as "Joy" by Isaac Hayes and hit songs like Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day". MC Eiht is pursuing his solo career, while DJ Slip is mainly working for the new West Coast label IV Life Records.[3] Additionally, C.M.W. are set for a reunion which will feature on DJ Slip's next album "The Minority Report".

In 2004, Hood Took Me Under appeared on the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (which features MC Eiht as a vital supporting character), and was played on the West Coast hip hop radio station Radio Los Santos. Ant Capone was supposed to be a member of the group while they released It's a Compton Thang, but was later fired from the group and replaced by DJ Mike T and did not appear on their first album. In 2006, the group released a fifth studio album, called Music to Gang Bang, which did not sell well.

In 1990, C.M.W. released theirfirst album, It's a Compton Thang which featured the single with the same title. Ant Capone was supposed to be featured as one of the producers; however, he was fired and replaced by DJ Mike T. It's a Compton Thang was entirely produced by DJ Slip and The Unknown DJ. The album peaked at #132 in the U.S. charts. A year later, the group released the follow up album, Straight Checkn 'Em, which featured popular hits like "Growin' Up In tha Hood" and the first version of the "Def Wish" series. MC Chill was sentenced to prison some months before the album was released and he did not have the chance to participate. However, the album was a bigger success than their previous album, peaking at #92.

Again in 1992, the group released their third and most successful studio album, Music to Driveby. It featured the single "Hood Took Me Under" which charted at #5 in Hot Rap Singles and was featured on the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at the West Coast radio station, Radio Los Santos. The album charted at #66 in the U.S. charts and is considered a classic by many people. It was the last album C.M.W. released until their long break.

Finally, after a break of eight years, the group released Represent in 2000. The album featured the single "This Is Compton 2000" and had none of the success of their previous albums. After another long break, the group released Music to Gang Bang in 2006 which also did not sell well and contained four singles, most notably the single with same title as the album Music to Gang Bang.
