His words. . . .
2pac vs. Ice Cube situation story examined, after an original member of the Outlawz opened up on certain incidents last summer. One of the most unknown issues in the hip-hop world, had been the static 2pac had with Ice Cube. After his release from prison, Makaveli left New York and formed a business partnership with Suge Knight and his friends at Death Row.
While Big Suge and Kurupt have always kept things one hundred with their late associate, some people have been fabricating stories and even lying on encounters with 2pac. Out of 2pac’s own words, he felt Ice Cube was clout chasing the west coast aggressive content, with telling out of towners to bow down.
This was evident, when it was brought to our attention that he planned to unleash multiple diss tracks at Cube after making peace with Nas and others in the five boroughs. Unfortunately, it may have seemed that way and 2pac was completely correct; but Ice Cube was quietly repping the west lifestyle on the forefront after completing a slew of Hollywood films.
It was just going under the radar in the masses, due to him being a behind-the-scenes manager for up-and-coming acts. Right before he died, he was going to shift all attention away from Biggie and put towards Ice Cube for a moment. He had finished multiple albums and was planning to take a break from music entirely for film.
In 1997, the plan was to release the One Nation album with Wu-Tang Clan, Outkast, DJ Premier and even wanted to work with UGK. By 1998, he would’ve wanted to make a Me Against the World 2 album for the ladies, who were begging him to make content for them during the peak of his Outlaw run at Death Row.
Take a look at media below from 2pac discussing the situation.
