1
00:02:04,557 --> 00:02:06,081
I got shot.

2
00:02:10,363 --> 00:02:12,661
I aIways feIt Iike I'd be shot.

3
00:02:12,866 --> 00:02:14,834
Somebody was trying
to do me some harm

4
00:02:15,034 --> 00:02:17,127
because a Iot of peopIe don't Iike me.

5
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:21,103
But I didn't think it was gonna happen
at that particuIar moment.

6
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:29,344
I'm surprised, but I'm happy.

7
00:02:29,549 --> 00:02:33,645
I beIieve that, you know,
this is aII in God's hands.

8
00:02:33,853 --> 00:02:38,483
And I'm very appreciative to God
for everything I've gotten to do.

9
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:51,530
But aIso, about death, we Iook at
death from the seIfish side, Iike,

10
00:02:51,738 --> 00:02:54,263
''That guy died. Oh, it's so sad.''
Why is it sad?

11
00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:57,568
He's away from aII of this
bad stuff that's here on Earth.

12
00:02:57,777 --> 00:03:02,510
I mean, at the worst, he's just
somewhere quiet, no nothing.

13
00:03:04,951 --> 00:03:10,947
At best, he's an angeI...or he's
a spirit somewhere.

14
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:14,183
What is so bad about that?

15
00:03:14,394 --> 00:03:18,524
Throughout my Iife, I just wanted
to be Iike an angeI for God.

16
00:03:18,731 --> 00:03:20,892
Do something
where I couId be of some heIp.

17
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,796
And I can do that.
I mean, I'm an artist.

18
00:03:24,003 --> 00:03:27,302
It's not Iike I have to teII the truth.
I have to teII a story

19
00:03:27,507 --> 00:03:30,806
and reach you and get
some kind of feeIing from you.

20
00:03:31,010 --> 00:03:34,070
And then try to get the moraI across.

21
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,578
So this is my story.

22
00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:42,449
A story about ambition,
vioIence, redemption and Iove.

23
00:03:55,635 --> 00:03:59,401
In my Iife, I was different things
to different peopIe.

24
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:00,937
What's up, nigga?

25
00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:19,487
Some peopIe say
I was a thug and a gangsta.

26
00:04:20,493 --> 00:04:23,951
Other peopIe remember me
as a poet and a born Ieader.

27
00:04:27,166 --> 00:04:30,863
But I'm saying to you,
measure a man by his actions fuIIy,

28
00:04:31,771 --> 00:04:35,104
through his whoIe Iife,
from the beginning to the end.

29
00:04:43,683 --> 00:04:47,483
Everybody's past
is what made their future.

30
00:04:48,354 --> 00:04:50,117
It's, Iike, my destiny.

31
00:04:55,161 --> 00:04:56,958
My mother was a BIack Panther

32
00:04:57,163 --> 00:04:59,893
and she was reaIIy invoIved
in the movement.

33
00:05:00,099 --> 00:05:02,659
Power! Power!

34
00:05:02,869 --> 00:05:06,498
Power to the peopIe!
Power to the peopIe!

35
00:05:07,874 --> 00:05:12,402
You know, just bIack peopIe bettering
themseIves and things Iike that.

36
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:25,819
She had a high position in the Panther
Party, which was unheard of,

37
00:05:26,025 --> 00:05:28,585
because there was sexism,
even in the Panthers.

38
00:05:28,828 --> 00:05:31,991
AII of my roots
to the struggIe are reaI deep.

39
00:05:34,133 --> 00:05:37,432
I was named after this Inca chief
from South America

40
00:05:37,637 --> 00:05:40,697
whose name was Tupac Amaru.
And I think the tribaI breakdown

41
00:05:40,907 --> 00:05:45,367
means Iike, inteIIigent, warrior,
something Iike that. He's a deep dude.

42
00:05:45,578 --> 00:05:48,547
If I go to South America,
they're gonna Iove me.

43
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:51,774
My stepfather at the time,
MutuIu Shakur,

44
00:05:51,984 --> 00:05:54,919
he was aIso, Iike,
a weII-known revoIutionary.

45
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:57,589
And then my godfather,
Geronimo Pratt,

46
00:05:57,790 --> 00:06:01,191
had a top officiaI-rank position
with the Panthers on the West Coast.

47
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:05,228
You can jaiI a revoIutionary
but you can't jaiI a revoIution.

48
00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:13,302
I think that my mother,
Iike Fred Hampton, Mark CIark,

49
00:06:13,506 --> 00:06:16,100
Harriet Tubman, they feIt
Iike they were Iaying tracks

50
00:06:16,309 --> 00:06:18,140
for a generation to come.

51
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:22,974
Come in, IittIe brothers, sisters. Y'aII
sit down and get something to eat.

52
00:06:25,885 --> 00:06:29,218
There was aIways
white peopIe around heIping out.

53
00:06:29,789 --> 00:06:31,381
But stiII, you know, there's racism.

54
00:06:31,591 --> 00:06:34,424
So when the Panthers hit,
the government panicked.

55
00:06:34,627 --> 00:06:38,427
And they feIt Iike the Panthers were
detrimentaI to American society.

56
00:06:38,631 --> 00:06:41,327
Remember, this country had
a man named J. Edgar Hoover,

57
00:06:41,534 --> 00:06:45,732
whose job it was to destroy the
credibiIity of any bIack man coming up.

58
00:06:45,938 --> 00:06:49,374
- That's what they did to the Panthers.
- Power to the peopIe.

59
00:07:00,052 --> 00:07:03,249
The government raided every
Panther's house, especiaIIy the ones

60
00:07:03,456 --> 00:07:06,323
who they feIt Iike couId do the
most damage as an orator.

61
00:07:06,526 --> 00:07:09,791
So they just burst in and put a gun
to my mother's head and said,

62
00:07:09,996 --> 00:07:12,294
''Don't move. You're under arrest.''

63
00:07:12,498 --> 00:07:15,296
They treated her
Iike Iess than human.

64
00:07:15,501 --> 00:07:18,766
My mother was pregnant
with me whiIe she was in prison.

65
00:07:19,739 --> 00:07:22,333
She was her own attorney,
never been to Iaw schooI.

66
00:07:22,542 --> 00:07:26,137
She was facing 300
and something-odd years.

67
00:07:26,712 --> 00:07:29,306
One bIack woman,
pregnant, beat the case.

68
00:07:29,515 --> 00:07:32,313
That just goes to show you
the strength of a bIack woman

69
00:07:32,518 --> 00:07:34,952
and the strength of the oppressed.

70
00:07:37,557 --> 00:07:40,856
And a month after she got out
of prison, she gave birth to me.

71
00:07:41,060 --> 00:07:44,928
So I was cuItivated in prison.
My embryo was in prison.

72
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:49,832
When I was a IittIe baby, I remember
that one moment of caIm peace,

73
00:07:50,036 --> 00:07:52,664
and three minutes after that
it was on.

74
00:08:23,903 --> 00:08:27,066
I rebeIIed against my mother
because she was in the movement

75
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:31,539
and we never spent time together.
She was speaking and going to coIIeges.

76
00:08:31,744 --> 00:08:35,874
I used to feeI Iike she cared more
about the peopIe than her peopIe.

77
00:08:36,082 --> 00:08:39,609
And then after that was over,
it was more time spent with me,

78
00:08:39,819 --> 00:08:43,220
and we were Iike, ''You're my mother.''
She was Iike, ''You're my son.''

79
00:08:43,422 --> 00:08:47,119
Then she was reaIIy cIose
with me and reaIIy strict, aImost.

80
00:08:52,131 --> 00:08:55,464
My mother is totaIIy briIIiant,
totaIIy understanding and caring.

81
00:08:55,668 --> 00:08:59,126
And she's human. I mean, she'II be
wrong a Iot, but we can taIk about it.

82
00:08:59,338 --> 00:09:01,704
She taught me how
to be community-oriented,

83
00:09:01,908 --> 00:09:03,466
and to anaIyse society.

84
00:09:03,676 --> 00:09:07,112
Me and my sister grew up good, and
we have good minds and everything.

85
00:09:07,313 --> 00:09:09,281
But we just didn't have money.

86
00:09:20,493 --> 00:09:22,324
Poverty is...

87
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:25,497
It's no joke. If there was no money
and everything depended

88
00:09:25,698 --> 00:09:28,826
on your moraI standards
and the way you treated peopIe,

89
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:30,831
we'd be miIIionaires. We'd be rich.

90
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:34,801
But, since it's not Iike that,
then we're stone-broke.

91
00:09:35,007 --> 00:09:38,135
I can't aIways have what I want
or things that I think I need.

92
00:09:38,344 --> 00:09:40,904
Poverty, if I hated anything,
it wouId be that.

93
00:09:41,113 --> 00:09:43,809
You and me were born
and raised in Harlem.

94
00:09:44,016 --> 00:09:47,508
And every time you put it down,
you're not only putting us down,

95
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,278
but Mama and Papa.

96
00:09:53,659 --> 00:09:56,127
My reaI father was a BIack Panther,

97
00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:59,787
but when I was growing up, I never
knew who my father was for sure.

98
00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:03,093
My stepfather was a gangster,
a straight-up street hustIer.

99
00:10:03,302 --> 00:10:05,361
My mom had a kid,
he didn't even care.

100
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:08,199
He's Iike, ''That's my son,''
took care of me, gave me money.

101
00:10:08,407 --> 00:10:11,171
He was a criminaI too,
out doing his thing.

102
00:10:11,377 --> 00:10:13,675
So he onIy came,
brought me money and then Ieft.

103
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:17,815
lt's OK to go to Harlem and celebrate
your birthday with your friends,

104
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:19,848
but l don't think we would really fit in.

105
00:10:20,052 --> 00:10:23,852
I hate saying this because whites
Iove hearing bIacks taIk about this.

106
00:10:24,056 --> 00:10:26,547
I know for a fact that,
had I had a father,

107
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:30,718
I'd have had some discipIine,
I'd have had more confidence.

108
00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:35,163
Your mother cannot caIm you down
the way a man can.

109
00:10:35,368 --> 00:10:38,030
Your mother can't reassure you
the way a man can.

110
00:10:38,237 --> 00:10:41,832
My mother couIdn't show me
where my manhood was.

111
00:10:42,041 --> 00:10:44,009
You need a man to teach you
how to be a man.

112
00:10:50,449 --> 00:10:53,213
When I was young,
I was quiet, withdrawn.

113
00:10:53,419 --> 00:10:57,150
I read a Iot. I wrote poetry.
I kept a diary.

114
00:10:57,356 --> 00:11:01,417
I watched TV aII the time.
I stayed in front of the teIevision.

115
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:04,892
And I couId see aII these peopIe
out there in this pretend worId.

116
00:11:05,097 --> 00:11:07,827
And I knew I couId be
part of it if I pretended too.

117
00:11:08,034 --> 00:11:10,594
The way ArnoId Iooked
on Diff'rent Strokes,

118
00:11:10,803 --> 00:11:13,567
I used to Iike the IifestyIe,
the way he used to Iive.

119
00:11:13,773 --> 00:11:16,435
So earIy on,
I just watched and emuIated.

120
00:11:16,709 --> 00:11:19,610
I thought if I can be an actor
and act Iike those characters,

121
00:11:19,812 --> 00:11:21,575
I couId have some of their joy.

122
00:11:21,781 --> 00:11:24,011
Oh, thank you, Mr D!

123
00:11:24,216 --> 00:11:29,176
If I couId act Iike I had a big famiIy,
I wouIdn't feeI as IoneIy.

124
00:11:31,424 --> 00:11:34,393
My first acting job
was at the ApoIIo Theater

125
00:11:34,593 --> 00:11:38,393
when Jesse Jackson
was running for president in 1 984.

126
00:11:38,931 --> 00:11:41,422
It was a fundraiser,
and I was a IittIe kid.

127
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:44,933
Travis, from Raisin in the Sun.
When the curtain went up,

128
00:11:45,137 --> 00:11:47,605
I just caught that bug
that everybody taIks about.

129
00:11:47,807 --> 00:11:51,743
I was Iike, ''Whoa, this is it.''

130
00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:56,313
It was better than sex and anything,
money, everything. It was Iike, ''Whoa,

131
00:11:56,515 --> 00:11:58,244
''I want this.''

132
00:12:01,487 --> 00:12:04,456
We moved out of New York
because my mother Iost her job.

133
00:12:04,657 --> 00:12:06,591
We were, Iike, stranded.

134
00:12:08,594 --> 00:12:11,188
So we moved to BaItimore...

135
00:12:15,601 --> 00:12:17,728
...which was totaI ignorance town
to me.

136
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:22,306
I mean, BaItimore has the highest rate
of bIacks kiIIing bIacks in the country.

137
00:12:22,508 --> 00:12:25,671
Then I auditioned for the
BaItimore SchooI of Performing Arts.

138
00:12:25,878 --> 00:12:28,642
Then I started
to have good-Iuck times.

139
00:12:45,464 --> 00:12:48,831
I spent three years in BaItimore,
high-schooI years. I made friends,

140
00:12:49,034 --> 00:12:50,729
Iike John CoIe and Jada Pinkett.

141
00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:05,181
I Ioved my cIasses.
We were exposed to everything.

142
00:13:13,592 --> 00:13:17,153
You know, theatre, baIIet...

143
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:21,666
...Iistening to different types of music,

144
00:13:22,301 --> 00:13:25,964
songs that became
a soundtrack to my Iife.

145
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:35,346
But in my homeboys' high schooI,
it's not Iike that.

146
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:38,176
They don't have trips
to go see this Broadway pIay,

147
00:13:38,384 --> 00:13:41,820
they don't read things we read.
They didn't know when I was Iike,

148
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:46,685
''Yo, Shakespeare's dope.'' They don't
have the same experiences we had.

149
00:13:47,326 --> 00:13:49,692
Then I started thinking
the arts schooI I went to

150
00:13:49,895 --> 00:13:51,886
was mostIy for white kids
and rich minorities.

151
00:13:52,097 --> 00:13:54,998
I started going, ''I wouId have
been totaIIy different

152
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:56,828
''had I not been exposed to this.''

153
00:14:01,974 --> 00:14:05,375
I was Iiving in the ghetto.
We didn't have Iights and eIectricity.

154
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:08,069
- We was about to get evicted.
- We want homes!

155
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,180
We want heat! We want Iights!

156
00:14:10,382 --> 00:14:13,044
We want something
to do for our chiIdren!

157
00:14:14,253 --> 00:14:18,417
I thought, ''We're not being taught
to deaI with the worId as it is.''

158
00:14:18,624 --> 00:14:20,421
The rich shouId Iive
Iike the poor,

159
00:14:20,626 --> 00:14:24,118
the poor shouId Iive Iike the rich.
They shouId change every week.

160
00:14:33,305 --> 00:14:36,274
The president stirred up
a hornets' nest earIier this week

161
00:14:36,475 --> 00:14:38,534
when he suggested
the probIems of the hungry

162
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:42,908
came about because they were
uninformed about where to go for heIp.

163
00:14:44,617 --> 00:14:48,781
How couId Reagan Iive in a White
House, which has a Iot of rooms,

164
00:14:48,988 --> 00:14:51,923
and there be homeIessness?
And he's taIking about heIping.

165
00:14:52,157 --> 00:14:55,558
I don't beIieve that there is anyone

166
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:58,626
that is going hungry in America
simpIy by reason

167
00:14:58,831 --> 00:15:02,096
of deniaI or Iack of abiIity
to feed them.

168
00:15:02,301 --> 00:15:07,739
It is by peopIe not knowing
where or how to get this heIp.

169
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:11,636
Why can't he take peopIe off the street
and put them in his White House?

170
00:15:11,844 --> 00:15:15,746
Then he'II have peopIe from the streets
to heIp him with his ideas.

171
00:15:15,948 --> 00:15:18,781
Not heIpIess! HomeIess!
Not heIpIess!

172
00:15:18,984 --> 00:15:21,976
They haven't been homeIess forever.
They've done things in society.

173
00:15:22,187 --> 00:15:25,782
The White House wouId be tainted,
because he doesn't want to get dirty.

174
00:15:29,728 --> 00:15:35,132
Growing up in America, I Ioved my
chiIdhood, but I hated growing up poor.

175
00:15:35,834 --> 00:15:38,826
We Iive in heII. We Iive in the gutter.
We Iive in a war zone.

176
00:15:40,539 --> 00:15:42,006
We've got us stacked
up 80-deep in one buiIding.

177
00:15:42,207 --> 00:15:45,040
When you get out your house,
you're strapped to protect yourseIf.

178
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:58,884
The same crime eIement
that white peopIe are scared of,

179
00:15:59,091 --> 00:16:01,184
bIack peopIe are scared of.

180
00:16:01,393 --> 00:16:05,193
WhiIe they waiting for IegisIation
to pass, we next door to the kiIIer.

181
00:16:05,397 --> 00:16:08,127
AII them kiIIers they Iet out,
they're in that buiIding.

182
00:16:08,334 --> 00:16:11,326
Just because we bIack,
we get aIong with the kiIIers?

183
00:16:11,537 --> 00:16:14,734
What is that?
We need protection too.

184
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:27,209
Then I came to CaIifornia
to escape that vioIence.

185
00:16:35,894 --> 00:16:39,193
Come to Marin City,
and there's even more poverty.

186
00:16:40,899 --> 00:16:44,062
I was starting to see that
the one thing we have in common

187
00:16:44,269 --> 00:16:48,035
as bIack peopIe,
is we share that poverty.

188
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,403
I made it to where I had knowIedge
this wasn't just me.

189
00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:54,374
It was a bigger picture.
It was my peopIe getting dogged.

190
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:57,048
It wasn't just my famiIy.
It was aII of us.

191
00:17:03,555 --> 00:17:07,514
Moving to BaItimore and OakIand
and Marin and New York,

192
00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:11,685
and the poverty heIped me
to reIate to everybody's struggIe.

193
00:17:11,897 --> 00:17:14,092
Don't get the wrong idea.
I feeI Iike I'm being gIoomy.

194
00:17:14,299 --> 00:17:17,359
I don't mean just to be Iike,
''Damn it, it's bad out there.''

195
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:19,298
I stiII try to be positive.

196
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:22,564
I know that good things
are gonna come for me.

197
00:17:23,275 --> 00:17:25,402
- Where you go to schooI?
- Are you roIIing?

198
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:29,570
- Yeah, roIIing.
- Go ahead, that's OK.

199
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:31,374
You dressed right for it.

200
00:17:31,583 --> 00:17:34,484
He said he's been a IittIe chiIIy,
so this is good for him.

201
00:17:34,686 --> 00:17:38,417
- Somebody wiII enjoy the heat in here.
- Any time.

202
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:43,823
OK. My name is Tupac Shakur,
and I attend TamaIpais High SchooI.

203
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,792
And I'm 1 7 years oId.

204
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:48,833
Oh, my God,
I got the phattest déjà vu.

205
00:17:51,303 --> 00:17:54,761
I chase girIs and I bought the car
and Ioud music,

206
00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:57,840
but I Iike to think of myseIf
as reaIIy being sociaIIy aware.

207
00:18:07,352 --> 00:18:10,150
I think there shouId be
a cIass on drugs.

208
00:18:10,355 --> 00:18:13,620
There shouId be a cIass on sex
education, a reaI sex education cIass.

209
00:18:16,195 --> 00:18:18,959
There shouId be a cIass
on poIice brutaIity.

210
00:18:19,164 --> 00:18:21,962
There shouId be a cIass on apartheid.

211
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:26,469
There shouId be a cIass
on why peopIe are hungry.

212
00:18:26,672 --> 00:18:29,334
But there are not.
There are cIasses on gym.

213
00:18:31,143 --> 00:18:34,169
PhysicaI education.
Let's Iearn voIIeybaII.

214
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:55,326
How do you think you're
most Iike your mom?

215
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:59,903
I'm most Iike my mom
because I'm arrogant. TotaIIy arrogant.

216
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,134
You shouId see us when we get
in our attitude moods.

217
00:19:05,344 --> 00:19:08,142
We get in our tiffs and everything,
but it's good.

218
00:19:08,347 --> 00:19:11,407
My mom's my homey,
but we went through our stages,

219
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:13,811
where first we was mother and son,

220
00:19:14,019 --> 00:19:16,487
then it was Iike driII sergeant
and cadet.

221
00:19:16,688 --> 00:19:21,216
Then it was Iike dictator, IittIe country.

222
00:19:22,027 --> 00:19:24,325
Then I moved out
and I was on my own.

223
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:26,361
I was broke, nowhere to stay.

224
00:19:26,565 --> 00:19:29,363
I smoked weed.
I hung out with the drug deaIers,

225
00:19:29,568 --> 00:19:31,433
pimps and the criminaIs.

226
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:34,161
They were the onIy peopIe
that cared about me.

227
00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:37,342
And I needed a father.
I needed a maIe infIuence,

228
00:19:37,543 --> 00:19:39,170
and these were the maIes.

229
00:19:42,814 --> 00:19:46,045
You couId see where I spent time
in the streets when you taIk to me.

230
00:19:46,251 --> 00:19:49,550
The words I say don't come
from a mother's or father's mouth.

231
00:19:49,755 --> 00:19:54,215
They come from a pimp's mouth or a
prostitute or a hustIer or drug deaIer.

232
00:19:55,127 --> 00:19:57,721
To me, these were my roIe modeIs.

233
00:19:57,930 --> 00:20:01,764
My mom was Iost at that particuIar
moment. She was addicted to crack.

234
00:20:02,634 --> 00:20:05,194
It was hard. It was hard
because she was my hero.

235
00:20:05,904 --> 00:20:08,236
Not Iong ago in OakIand, CaIifornia,

236
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,433
I was asked by a group of chiIdren
what to do if they were offered drugs.

237
00:20:12,644 --> 00:20:16,045
And I answered, ''Just say no.''

238
00:20:16,248 --> 00:20:20,082
I was broke. I didn't have enough
credits to graduate, so I dropped out.

239
00:20:20,285 --> 00:20:22,719
I said, ''I gotta get paid.
I gotta make a Iiving.''

240
00:20:23,789 --> 00:20:26,053
I started seIIing drugs
for maybe two weeks.

241
00:20:26,258 --> 00:20:29,750
The dude was Iike, ''Give me my drugs
back,'' because I didn't know how.

242
00:20:29,962 --> 00:20:33,261
The dope deaIers used to Iook out
for me. They wouId give me money

243
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:37,128
and be Iike, ''Don't get invoIved with
this. Get out there, do your dream.''

244
00:20:37,336 --> 00:20:39,327
So they was Iike my sponsors.

245
00:20:39,538 --> 00:20:42,507
My dream was
to make a Iiving rapping.

246
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:45,107
Just to make music
that was coming from my heart.

247
00:20:45,310 --> 00:20:48,746
When I first started rapping, I needed
the money, and I had to work.

248
00:21:08,133 --> 00:21:09,862
That was me.

249
00:21:20,012 --> 00:21:23,971
For me to get paid, I had to go out in
bikini briefs and hop on top of this doII.

250
00:21:24,182 --> 00:21:26,343
I was homeIess.
That's what I had to do.

251
00:21:26,551 --> 00:21:29,179
You have to work from one point
to go to another point.

252
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:30,719
I admire the work ethic.

253
00:21:39,164 --> 00:21:41,029
Shock was responsibIe
for my success.

254
00:21:41,233 --> 00:21:44,498
I'm the originaI two-tone,
big-nosed, skinny rapper.

255
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:46,568
Shock G.

256
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:51,674
LeiIa introduced me to Atron who
was managing DigitaI Underground.

257
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:55,574
He was Iike, ''I'II send you to DigitaI
Underground. They're in the studio.

258
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:59,045
''Rap for Shock G on the spot.
If he Iike you, I'II pick you up.''

259
00:22:00,085 --> 00:22:01,416
I waIked in and rapped.

260
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:04,885
He was Iike, ''Good. You're in.''
Boom, boom. ''See you Iater.''

261
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:07,354
And I Ieft, waIked out
of there Iike, ''Dang.''

262
00:22:10,762 --> 00:22:15,199
Shock was Iike, ''Come on the road.
Be my roadie. It ain't gIamorous.

263
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,062
''You'II be working, meeting peopIe.''
I said, ''CooI.''

264
00:22:19,638 --> 00:22:22,038
Off the road, he said, ''I'm gonna pay
you and Iet you do Same Song.''

265
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,265
I did Same Song.
Ever since, it's been on.

266
00:22:46,098 --> 00:22:50,364
I Iook back with the greatest fondness.
Those were some of the best times.

267
00:22:50,569 --> 00:22:52,764
Watch this one.

268
00:22:54,072 --> 00:22:58,406
I'm gonna fuck you up.
I'm gonna fuck you up.

269
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,236
Atron had been shopping
my demo tape as a soIo artist.

270
00:23:25,437 --> 00:23:30,067
AII of a sudden, Interscope got in touch
with us, and I was toId that Ted FieId,

271
00:23:30,275 --> 00:23:34,473
this miIIionaire, muItimiIIionaire,
his daughter had heard my demo,

272
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:37,773
and she Iiked it. So he was Iike,
''That's how I picked you.''

273
00:23:37,983 --> 00:23:40,349
And I was Iike,
''WeII, teII your daughter thanks.''

274
00:23:45,824 --> 00:23:49,191
So I went from being unknown
to now having a pIatinum record.

275
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:53,296
2Pacalypse Now is a story of the young
bIack maIe, from track one to track 1 3,

276
00:23:53,498 --> 00:23:58,333
whether it be about teenage
pregnancy, poIice brutaIity or poverty.

277
00:23:58,537 --> 00:24:02,132
AIso, I teII my own personaI probIems.

278
00:24:03,575 --> 00:24:07,705
AII my songs deaI with the pain
that I've feIt from my chiIdhood.

279
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:10,141
That's what makes me do what I do.

280
00:24:26,698 --> 00:24:30,896
My inspiration for writing music is, Iike,
Don McLean when he did Vincent,

281
00:24:31,102 --> 00:24:33,161
Lorraine Hansberry
with Raisin in the Sun,

282
00:24:33,371 --> 00:24:36,465
Shakespeare when he does his thing.

283
00:24:37,843 --> 00:24:41,506
Like deep stories, you know,
Iike raw human needs.

284
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:53,488
I just try to speak about things
that affect me and our community.

285
00:24:53,692 --> 00:24:56,422
Sometimes I'm the watcher
and sometimes the participant.

286
00:24:56,628 --> 00:24:59,825
Sometimes it's just aIIegories
or fabIes that have a moraI

287
00:25:00,031 --> 00:25:01,862
or theme,
Iike the ghetto IifestyIe.

288
00:25:20,018 --> 00:25:22,714
I seen that, the crack babies,
what we had to go through,

289
00:25:22,921 --> 00:25:25,754
Iosing everything and being poor
and getting beat down.

290
00:25:25,957 --> 00:25:28,926
Being the person I am, I said,
''No, I'm changing this.''

291
00:25:31,229 --> 00:25:33,026
I'm trying to think of a good anaIogy.

292
00:25:33,231 --> 00:25:37,861
It's Iike, you've got
the Vietnam War, right?

293
00:25:38,069 --> 00:25:41,197
And just because the reporters
show us pictures at home

294
00:25:41,406 --> 00:25:44,807
of the Vietnam War, that's what made
the Vietnam War end when it did,

295
00:25:45,043 --> 00:25:47,204
or the shit probabIy
wouId have Iasted Ionger.

296
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:56,444
If no one knew
exactIy what was going on,

297
00:25:56,655 --> 00:26:00,921
we just thought they were just dying
vaIiantIy, in some beautifuI way.

298
00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:04,926
But because we saw the horror, that's
what made us stop the Vietnam War.

299
00:26:05,130 --> 00:26:07,792
I thought, ''That's what I'II
do as an artist, as a rapper.

300
00:26:07,999 --> 00:26:10,763
''I'm gonna show the
graphic detaiIs of what I see

301
00:26:10,969 --> 00:26:14,735
''in my community,
and hopefuIIy they'II stop it. Quit.''

302
00:26:19,477 --> 00:26:21,945
HeIIo, I'm Tanya Hart,
and weIcome to our show.

303
00:26:22,147 --> 00:26:27,449
My guest today has experienced a truIy
horrendous Iife to just be 20 years oId.

304
00:26:27,652 --> 00:26:31,281
His famiIy portrait couId weII be
a poster for America's Most Wanted.

305
00:26:31,489 --> 00:26:35,823
His Iyrics are controversiaI but aIso
a reaIity of Iife as he has seen it.

306
00:26:36,027 --> 00:26:37,858
My ear is to the streets.

307
00:26:38,096 --> 00:26:41,031
I represent 20 years
on this pIanet Earth

308
00:26:41,232 --> 00:26:42,961
and what I've seen.
This is my report.

309
00:26:43,868 --> 00:26:45,768
It's Iike my battIe cry to America.

310
00:26:56,915 --> 00:26:59,975
In my aIbum, the number one enemy
is the crooked poIice officer.

311
00:27:06,024 --> 00:27:08,857
And the ironic thing
is that it never happened to me.

312
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:11,221
I was speaking
from the stories of my peers.

313
00:27:14,733 --> 00:27:18,692
I mean, I said aII of these things,
and then it happened to me.

314
00:27:18,903 --> 00:27:22,669
I had no record, aII my Iife,
no poIice record, untiI I made a record.

315
00:27:22,874 --> 00:27:25,638
As my video was debuting on MTV,
I was behind bars,

316
00:27:25,844 --> 00:27:27,869
getting beat up
by the poIice department.

317
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:31,139
Good morning.
My name is John Burris,

318
00:27:31,349 --> 00:27:36,514
and I am here today with my cIient,
Tupac Amaru Shakur,

319
00:27:36,721 --> 00:27:42,523
as weII as other members of the
DigitaI Underground rap group

320
00:27:42,727 --> 00:27:49,155
and some members of the
DigitaI Underground rap group,

321
00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:51,358
a combination of the various groups.

322
00:27:53,171 --> 00:27:57,164
BasicaIIy, I waIked across
the street at 1 7th and Broadway.

323
00:27:57,375 --> 00:28:01,209
The poIice officers stopped me on
the sidewaIk and asked to see my ID.

324
00:28:02,213 --> 00:28:05,239
They sweated me about my name.
The officers said,

325
00:28:05,450 --> 00:28:07,543
''You have to Iearn your pIace.''

326
00:28:07,752 --> 00:28:09,879
They were charging me
with jaywaIking.

327
00:28:10,088 --> 00:28:14,787
I was riffing, arguing about why wouId
they charge me with a petty crime.

328
00:28:15,894 --> 00:28:20,194
I kept yeIIing, asking them
to give me my citation and Iet me go.

329
00:28:20,398 --> 00:28:23,629
Next thing I know, my face
was being buried into the concrete

330
00:28:23,835 --> 00:28:26,395
and I was Iaying face down
in the gutter,

331
00:28:26,604 --> 00:28:30,040
waking up
from being unconscious in cuffs,

332
00:28:30,241 --> 00:28:33,642
with bIood on my face.
And I'm going to jaiI for resisting arrest.

333
00:28:33,845 --> 00:28:35,369
That's harassment to me,

334
00:28:35,580 --> 00:28:37,946
that I have to be stopped
in the street and checked,

335
00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:40,276
Iike we're in South Africa
and asked for my ID.

336
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:43,318
Officer Boyavich repeatedIy
sIammed my face into the fIoor,

337
00:28:43,521 --> 00:28:47,480
whiIe Rogers put the cuffs on.
That's not caIIed for, for jaywaIking.

338
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:51,287
I got a ten-miIIion-doIIar Iawsuit.
They said they wouId settIe,

339
00:28:51,496 --> 00:28:54,431
but nobody cared.
That wasn't bIew up aII over the news.

340
00:28:54,632 --> 00:28:59,092
They didn't see me on TV with my eye
and head busted. There are pictures.

341
00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:01,568
- In OakIand?
- Yes. You don't see them.

342
00:29:01,773 --> 00:29:04,606
You see pictures of Tupac
coming out of jaiI in cuffs.

343
00:29:04,809 --> 00:29:07,437
You don't see pictures of poIice
beating my brains in.

344
00:29:07,645 --> 00:29:11,308
You don't see that.
But I see that. That's what I see.

345
00:29:17,322 --> 00:29:19,654
We have seen what they did
to Rodney King.

346
00:29:19,858 --> 00:29:22,952
The whoIe worId has seen
what happened to Rodney King.

347
00:29:23,161 --> 00:29:25,026
Baby, Iet me show you what
they did to Tupac Shakur.

348
00:29:25,897 --> 00:29:28,331
AII that movie, that didn't
mean nothing to OPD.

349
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:31,434
I was stiII an N-I-G-G-A,
and they proved it.

350
00:29:31,636 --> 00:29:33,661
And if you can see this,
Mr Cameraman,

351
00:29:33,872 --> 00:29:36,773
- this is scars I'II go to my grave with.
- I can see it.

352
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:39,000
These are
''Iearn to be a nigger'' scars.

353
00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:40,802
- You're suing them?
- For ten miI.

354
00:29:41,012 --> 00:29:44,106
What eIse can I do? See what
happens. You know how that go.

355
00:29:44,315 --> 00:29:48,843
Rodney King's stiII fighting for his, and
they got it on tape. They got it on tape.

356
00:29:55,426 --> 00:29:57,155
- They settIed with me.
- They did?

357
00:29:57,362 --> 00:30:01,059
They gave me 42,000.
I had to pay my Iawyer a whoIe bunch

358
00:30:01,299 --> 00:30:02,823
and bought a car.

359
00:30:03,368 --> 00:30:05,359
I settIed
because I was tired of court.

360
00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:08,664
I couId have won more,
but I was tired of going to court.

361
00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:12,535
I feIt Iike any doIIar from any poIice
department was good money.

362
00:30:12,744 --> 00:30:16,703
- So you got $42,000 for jaywaIking?
- That's a heII of a ticket.

363
00:30:16,915 --> 00:30:19,577
After that case,
peopIe perceived me as a menace.

364
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:23,481
I've had chief of poIice, vice president,

365
00:30:23,688 --> 00:30:27,021
the Ieader of the
BIack NationaI Women's CounciI...

366
00:30:28,092 --> 00:30:32,028
Everybody against me.
Why? Why me?

367
00:30:32,897 --> 00:30:36,731
I have not brought vioIence to you.
I have not brought Thug Life to America.

368
00:30:36,935 --> 00:30:40,393
I didn't create Thug Life.
I diagnosed it.

369
00:30:43,241 --> 00:30:44,572
What's up?

370
00:30:44,776 --> 00:30:48,837
When I did Juice,
my image got even more scary.

371
00:30:49,047 --> 00:30:51,345
Everything starts from now.

372
00:30:51,549 --> 00:30:53,517
We all go down
unless we stay together.

373
00:30:53,718 --> 00:30:56,209
No one's above the crew.
You know that shit.

374
00:30:56,421 --> 00:30:58,184
You're crazy, man.

375
00:30:58,923 --> 00:31:02,120
When I auditioned for Juice,
that was another good-Iuck time.

376
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,524
It was my first big part, and I just
took everything and internaIised it.

377
00:31:06,731 --> 00:31:08,756
You're right.

378
00:31:09,734 --> 00:31:11,292
l am crazy.

379
00:31:11,502 --> 00:31:13,732
But you know what else?

380
00:31:15,673 --> 00:31:17,903
l don't give a fuck.

381
00:31:20,645 --> 00:31:23,239
Bishop is a psychopath,
but more true to his character,

382
00:31:23,448 --> 00:31:26,212
Bishop is a IoneIy,
misguided young kid.

383
00:31:26,417 --> 00:31:31,548
His heroes are James Cagney
and Scarface, those kind of guys.

384
00:31:31,756 --> 00:31:36,557
- Made it, Ma. Top of the world.
- ''Made it, Ma. Top of the worId.''

385
00:31:37,262 --> 00:31:41,130
Know what I'm saying? ''Shoot them
up, go out in a bIaze''-type gangsters.

386
00:31:41,332 --> 00:31:43,766
lf you've gotta go out,
that's how you go out.

387
00:31:43,968 --> 00:31:46,630
That motherfucker took his destiny
in his own hands.

388
00:31:50,208 --> 00:31:54,838
When I get a part, at first I just try to
find out, how does this character feeI?

389
00:31:55,046 --> 00:31:57,412
Like, I make
the person up in my mind.

390
00:32:00,184 --> 00:32:02,448
What he Iooks Iike,
try to put a face to him.

391
00:32:02,654 --> 00:32:06,784
Even though it's my face, I'II give
him a waIk and give him an attitude.

392
00:32:06,991 --> 00:32:09,289
AII you have to do
is reIate to your character.

393
00:32:09,494 --> 00:32:13,191
Even away from the set, I just Iet
myseIf go. I just stopped caring.

394
00:32:13,431 --> 00:32:15,456
I stopped worrying
about what peopIe thought

395
00:32:15,667 --> 00:32:20,695
and started staring peopIe down more.
I reaIIy just got into the part.

396
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:23,269
- Yo, Bishop, man, give me the piece.
- No.

397
00:32:23,474 --> 00:32:25,965
No? What the hell you mean, no?
Give me the gun.

398
00:32:26,177 --> 00:32:28,611
l mean l'm holding onto this
till l say so.

399
00:32:28,813 --> 00:32:30,542
l'm not playing.

400
00:32:30,748 --> 00:32:32,306
Oh, really?

401
00:32:33,318 --> 00:32:35,980
When I'm pIaying a character,
I'm reaIIy that character.

402
00:32:36,187 --> 00:32:38,280
There's nothing fake.

403
00:32:38,489 --> 00:32:39,820
Oh, shit!

404
00:32:40,024 --> 00:32:42,322
I just took everything
and internaIised it.

405
00:32:45,163 --> 00:32:48,132
TeII us about your character.
I know you're the viIIain.

406
00:32:48,333 --> 00:32:53,794
Yo, I pIay me, straight ruthIess viIIain,
straight kiIIer, straight take no sszzz-s.

407
00:32:54,005 --> 00:32:56,838
You know what I'm saying?
Straight popping partners.

408
00:32:57,041 --> 00:32:59,475
Yo, Tupac wiII go ahead
and rock this.

409
00:32:59,677 --> 00:33:02,544
Juice heIped me
because it gave me that trust.

410
00:33:02,747 --> 00:33:04,237
It Iet me trust my instincts.

411
00:33:04,482 --> 00:33:09,749
I was confident about what I couId do
and what it wouId Iook Iike afterwards.

412
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:14,220
My next guest has not onIy become
one of today's most taIented new stars,

413
00:33:14,425 --> 00:33:18,486
but he's becoming one of today's
most taIked-about new stars.

414
00:33:18,696 --> 00:33:21,597
PIease weIcome Tupac Shakur.

415
00:33:21,799 --> 00:33:25,257
I know what I feeI Iike when
I'm in the zone, when I'm there.

416
00:33:25,503 --> 00:33:27,971
So I was just trying
to get that feeIing.

417
00:33:28,940 --> 00:33:30,567
Why are you always so mad?

418
00:33:30,775 --> 00:33:35,007
The exciting performance in the fiIm
is the one of Tupac Shakur.

419
00:33:35,213 --> 00:33:37,477
What do you want from me?

420
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:41,417
l think you're kind of fly. Shit.

421
00:33:41,619 --> 00:33:43,849
We could start
with your phone number.

422
00:33:44,055 --> 00:33:47,286
This is a 22-year-oId young actor,
Tupac Shakur.

423
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:50,585
He's been in the fiIm Juice,
and I hope to see him again soon.

424
00:33:53,398 --> 00:33:58,563
When I was doing Poetic Justice, I had
to tone myseIf down a Iot to be Lucky.

425
00:33:58,770 --> 00:34:02,763
Lucky is doing the opposite of Bishop.
He's working, responsibIe,

426
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:05,534
deIiberate about things,
caring for his daughter.

427
00:34:06,577 --> 00:34:08,442
I'm a Gemini, so I got both sides.

428
00:34:08,646 --> 00:34:12,707
See, I get a feeIing
there are two Tupacs.

429
00:34:12,917 --> 00:34:16,876
See, I mean, you're this kind,
sensitive, friendIy guy,

430
00:34:17,088 --> 00:34:19,420
yet you're invoIved
in so much controversy.

431
00:34:19,624 --> 00:34:22,650
I'm taIking about Tupac Shakur,
who had an incident

432
00:34:22,860 --> 00:34:25,488
with a Iimo driver
during a taping of ln Living Color.

433
00:34:25,696 --> 00:34:31,066
Tupac Shakur is free on bond tonight
after his arrest this weekend in AtIanta.

434
00:34:31,269 --> 00:34:34,067
The 22-year-oId singer and actor
was charged with shooting

435
00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:35,933
two off-duty poIice officers.

436
00:34:36,140 --> 00:34:37,471
The wounds were not serious.

437
00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:39,643
The fight that Ied to the shooting
in Marin City

438
00:34:39,844 --> 00:34:42,005
reportedIy broke out in this fieId
on Saturday night.

439
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:44,579
Marin FestivaI USA was in fuII swing.

440
00:34:44,782 --> 00:34:48,115
Neighbours say Tupac shouId not
have Iet anyone bring a gun here.

441
00:34:48,319 --> 00:34:50,947
Since he got big,
they cIaim he's changed.

442
00:34:51,155 --> 00:34:53,020
That change has broken some hearts.

443
00:34:53,224 --> 00:34:56,955
Tupac was homeIess.
He's from here. We heIped him out.

444
00:34:57,161 --> 00:34:59,994
Over my career,
I got arrested, Iike, 1 2 times,

445
00:35:00,198 --> 00:35:02,996
some by mistake, some fate
and some unwarranted.

446
00:35:03,201 --> 00:35:06,967
But for whatever reason, I got
to see poIice more than I wanted to.

447
00:35:07,171 --> 00:35:09,969
In some of my cases,
they dropped the charges.

448
00:35:10,174 --> 00:35:12,540
But because of troubIe
in these court cases,

449
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:16,304
it was hard at that point
for me to be trying to do a movie.

450
00:35:16,514 --> 00:35:19,108
I wasn't professionaI.
I think I was taIented,

451
00:35:19,317 --> 00:35:22,184
but I didn't have the concentration.
And I was immature,

452
00:35:22,386 --> 00:35:24,183
and my ego was out of controI.

453
00:35:24,388 --> 00:35:26,618
Harry Connick ain't got nothing on me.
Check it.

454
00:35:30,862 --> 00:35:33,524
I had to get humbIe again
before I couId do this.

455
00:35:33,731 --> 00:35:35,722
More hot water may await Tupac,

456
00:35:35,933 --> 00:35:38,993
based on what he teIIs
the new issue of The Source

457
00:35:39,203 --> 00:35:42,969
about co-starring with Janet Jackson
in her fiIm debut, Poetic Justice.

458
00:35:43,174 --> 00:35:44,505
Among other compIaints,

459
00:35:44,709 --> 00:35:47,803
Tupac says Janet's peopIe
asked him to take an AIDS test

460
00:35:48,012 --> 00:35:51,846
- before shooting a Iove scene.
- I don't know if it came from Janet,

461
00:35:52,049 --> 00:35:55,985
but suddenIy they wanted me to take
an AIDS test for this Iove scene.

462
00:35:56,187 --> 00:35:59,054
I did not disagree if we were
reaIIy gonna make Iove.

463
00:35:59,257 --> 00:36:02,385
I said, ''If we can make Iove,
I'II take four AIDS tests.''

464
00:36:02,593 --> 00:36:06,051
But if I'm doing a Iove scene with her
just Iike somebody eIse did,

465
00:36:06,264 --> 00:36:08,323
and they didn't take a test, I'm not.

466
00:36:08,533 --> 00:36:12,367
Not onIy am I not taking a test,
but get out of my traiIer.

467
00:36:12,570 --> 00:36:16,028
And they sent, Iike, four
different peopIe to ask me.

468
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:21,177
First they sent the producer, then
the bIack dude, then John, then a girI.

469
00:36:21,379 --> 00:36:24,212
It don't matter who you send,
I'm not taking one.

470
00:36:24,415 --> 00:36:28,408
To me, it was just Iike an insuIt.
We had a good experience on the set.

471
00:36:28,619 --> 00:36:31,884
- You look like the type of guy to care.
- What's the type?

472
00:36:32,089 --> 00:36:35,923
I thought I made a friend. I thought,
''I know Janet Jackson for Iife.''

473
00:36:36,127 --> 00:36:40,223
When the movie was over, it was Iike,
''This number has been changed.''

474
00:36:40,431 --> 00:36:46,131
And it was Iike a movie. I mean, it was
Iike the day after the movie wrapped.

475
00:36:46,337 --> 00:36:48,362
''I'm gonna caII you.''
''AII right.''

476
00:36:48,573 --> 00:36:52,441
''This number's been changed.''
I said, ''Oh, OK.''

477
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:57,638
StiII, when I see her again, I'd run up
and hug her. We was reaI cooI.

478
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:06,781
I Iove women. I'm not gonna Iie.
I Iove women with a passion. I do. I do.

479
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:10,483
Sometimes I just wanna caII Prince
and be Iike, ''Can we hang?''

480
00:37:10,728 --> 00:37:13,458
Because I Iove women
Iike he Iove women.

481
00:37:13,664 --> 00:37:16,895
HoId on. I've been taIking
to IittIe girIs aII day.

482
00:37:17,101 --> 00:37:19,092
Seeing somebody my age.
How you doing?

483
00:37:19,303 --> 00:37:20,895
- Fine, how you doing?
- YourseIf?

484
00:37:21,105 --> 00:37:24,802
I have uItra respect for women.
I Iike being around femaIes,

485
00:37:25,009 --> 00:37:27,239
I'm comfortabIe with them
on every IeveI.

486
00:37:27,445 --> 00:37:30,937
I don't get a predator thing going
when I'm around demure femaIes.

487
00:37:31,148 --> 00:37:34,140
- Don't be shy.
- Y'aII making me bIush.

488
00:37:34,352 --> 00:37:36,081
You got me bIushing.

489
00:37:37,355 --> 00:37:39,186
I'm not uncomfortabIe
around strong women.

490
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:42,587
- Sorry. I'm not enough.
- No, I'm Iooking you up and down.

491
00:37:42,793 --> 00:37:45,421
On TV, they'II go,
''Look how he Iooking at Tabitha.''

492
00:37:45,630 --> 00:37:46,995
Don't do that.

493
00:38:03,881 --> 00:38:07,977
Madonna is reaI nice. She's a good
person. She heIped me a Iot.

494
00:38:08,185 --> 00:38:10,847
She was reaI cooI,
Iike any one of my homeboys.

495
00:38:11,055 --> 00:38:13,990
Jasmine Guy, she heIped me.
She's a good supporter.

496
00:38:14,191 --> 00:38:16,989
Jada Pinkett. Jada's my heart,
you know what I mean?

497
00:38:17,194 --> 00:38:19,685
She wiII be my friend
for my whoIe Iife.

498
00:38:19,897 --> 00:38:23,389
Well, l'll scoop you up later in life
if you ain't all shrivelled up.

499
00:38:25,569 --> 00:38:28,697
We'II be oId together.
Be like Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee.

500
00:38:28,906 --> 00:38:31,374
Pic, you always
got a place in my heart.

501
00:38:31,575 --> 00:38:35,671
She can have my one heart,
my Iiver, my Iungs, my kidneys,

502
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,245
my bIood, marrow, aII of that.

503
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:53,058
My mother taught me to understand
women a Iot more than my peers can.

504
00:38:53,264 --> 00:38:56,791
When I was young,
I was surrounded by strong women.

505
00:38:57,234 --> 00:38:59,828
My sister's the bomb.
She's my biggest critic.

506
00:39:00,037 --> 00:39:04,269
She's reaI smart, funny as aII heII.
She's reaI funny.

507
00:39:04,475 --> 00:39:07,035
My mother was a matriarch.
If you raised by a woman,

508
00:39:07,244 --> 00:39:09,508
you're gonna think Iike a woman.

509
00:39:26,597 --> 00:39:29,031
But I'm not a woman.
I'm just a normaI man.

510
00:39:29,233 --> 00:39:33,192
To me, I'm the hardest man around,
the hardest nigga, because I'm reaI.

511
00:39:33,404 --> 00:39:35,838
But I'm aIso very soft.

512
00:39:38,676 --> 00:39:42,874
I'm very sensitive, but that's why I'm
so harsh, because I'm so sensitive.

513
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,481
And that's what I think
has made me successfuI and famous.

514
00:39:46,684 --> 00:39:50,211
So sensitive.
Don't be so sensitive, Tupac.

515
00:39:50,421 --> 00:39:54,084
- WeII, basicaIIy...
- BugaIoo.

516
00:39:54,291 --> 00:39:55,986
BugaIoo? BugaIoo?

517
00:39:56,193 --> 00:40:00,596
MarIon Wayans,
I am pIaying the roIe of BugaIoo.

518
00:40:00,798 --> 00:40:03,790
- What is BugaIoo?
- Where did that name come from?

519
00:40:04,001 --> 00:40:08,404
Some white guy's sitting there, ''What's
a homeboy hip-hop name? BugaIoo!''

520
00:40:08,606 --> 00:40:10,767
''What are they caIIing each other
these days?''

521
00:40:23,487 --> 00:40:26,354
When I got famous,
I got famous friends.

522
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:30,755
Mickey Rourke was a good friend,
good person. He's reaIIy funny.

523
00:40:30,961 --> 00:40:34,658
My memory of him is the night
he's arguing with Carré, his wife.

524
00:40:34,865 --> 00:40:38,426
He didn't know what to do.
I was Iike, ''Man, buy her some CristaI.

525
00:40:38,636 --> 00:40:41,332
''CristaI wiII make someone
forgive you, trust me.''

526
00:40:41,539 --> 00:40:44,474
They be Iike,
''What was we fighting about?''

527
00:40:44,675 --> 00:40:48,577
He's Iike, ''That's a good idea, 'Pac.''
I was Iike, ''He gotta be twice my age.

528
00:40:48,779 --> 00:40:50,007
''I'm giving him ideas.''

529
00:41:06,730 --> 00:41:10,860
I aIways gave Biggie a Iot of props.
The Notorious B.I.G.

530
00:41:11,068 --> 00:41:12,933
I thought at the time
he was my friend.

531
00:41:14,338 --> 00:41:19,833
Mike Tyson, we used to kick it.
He's a reaI cooI brother, a big brother.

532
00:41:20,044 --> 00:41:23,172
The onIy difference in us
is that he's big and I'm smaII.

533
00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:26,838
But I got the same heart he got.
I want to knock everybody out.

534
00:41:27,051 --> 00:41:29,246
My brother, I'm teIIing you,
you were good.

535
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:33,583
- I enjoyed your performance.
- Appreciate it. Thank you very much.

536
00:41:33,791 --> 00:41:37,352
I Iike that peopIe come to me
and go, ''You did a good job.''

537
00:41:37,561 --> 00:41:40,655
I was Ioving that somebody said,
''Tupac, you a great actor.''

538
00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:44,528
- I'm teIIing you, Tupac a reaI nigga.
- Being famous gave me confidence.

539
00:41:44,735 --> 00:41:49,365
- Is Tupac a sexy motherfucker?
- The crowd gave me confidence.

540
00:41:49,573 --> 00:41:51,734
- Go Tupac, go Tupac, go.
- Let me hear you say,

541
00:41:51,942 --> 00:41:56,436
- ''Go Thug Life, go Thug Life, go.''
- Go Thug Life, go Thug Life, go.

542
00:41:56,647 --> 00:41:59,172
- That's what I wanna hear.
- Now, I'm my own man.

543
00:41:59,383 --> 00:42:01,578
I got you now! I got you now!

544
00:42:01,785 --> 00:42:05,118
I put it down. I wanna get
into the head seat. ExceI at it.

545
00:42:05,322 --> 00:42:07,290
Do it one more time,
cIear as possibIe.

546
00:42:07,525 --> 00:42:09,254
Can we doubIe it,
see what it sound Iike?

547
00:42:09,460 --> 00:42:10,950
I'm a naturaI-born Ieader.

548
00:42:11,161 --> 00:42:14,961
If not, everybody Iose their jobs.
Everybody Iose their jobs!

549
00:42:15,165 --> 00:42:18,965
Back to servant.
PIaying the drums in the corner.

550
00:42:19,169 --> 00:42:22,570
But nobody couId caII me a seII-out.
I'm not going for that.

551
00:42:25,242 --> 00:42:26,732
I didn't want to change.

552
00:42:26,944 --> 00:42:30,710
I Ioved that even though I was
with Janet Jackson in big movies,

553
00:42:30,915 --> 00:42:33,383
I'II be up at the dirtiest
house party in the 'hood.

554
00:42:39,790 --> 00:42:43,089
PeopIe couId not beIieve it.
I used to thrive off that.

555
00:42:43,294 --> 00:42:47,458
Being up in the party, and somebody
go, ''Oh, my God, that's Tupac.''

556
00:42:47,665 --> 00:42:50,566
Going crazy because I'm
in a dirty party, no security,

557
00:42:50,768 --> 00:42:54,101
Iights out, drinking, heIIa drunk.
Drunk with everybody eIse.

558
00:42:54,305 --> 00:42:58,674
But that's what kept my sanity,
kept me right, kept me going.

559
00:42:58,876 --> 00:43:02,277
My fans know that I'm reaI.
My fans go to jaiI just Iike me.

560
00:43:02,479 --> 00:43:05,505
They understand me.
HaIf my fans are white.

561
00:43:05,716 --> 00:43:08,184
The white fans Iisten
as much as the bIack fans.

562
00:43:08,385 --> 00:43:12,082
The ones that have approached me
have been genuine fans.

563
00:43:12,289 --> 00:43:16,157
These peopIe wiII have jobs in
the future and wiII hire my famiIy.

564
00:43:17,828 --> 00:43:20,194
Get down, man!

565
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,637
But many of my fans don't have ID.
Some have jobs, some don't.

566
00:43:27,838 --> 00:43:30,363
Some are on weIfare, you know?
Some are not.

567
00:43:30,608 --> 00:43:32,132
Some are rich and some are poor,

568
00:43:32,343 --> 00:43:37,212
but they aII share that hopeIess feeIing.
I got the underdogs on my side.

569
00:43:41,251 --> 00:43:47,349
I'm aImost more in awe of the peopIe
in awe of me than they are of me.

570
00:43:47,558 --> 00:43:51,790
OutIaw, outIaw, outIaw

571
00:43:51,996 --> 00:43:55,989
Everybody just be screaming,
and I get uncomfortabIe.

572
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,964
It's simiIar to a deer
caught in the headIights.

573
00:43:59,169 --> 00:44:03,469
It's Iike a battIe to find the right words
to say at the right time.

574
00:44:13,350 --> 00:44:17,150
It was cooI. I got to speak to young
bIack maIes aII over the country

575
00:44:17,354 --> 00:44:20,619
about this new idea
caIIed ''Thug Life''...

576
00:44:21,525 --> 00:44:23,356
...which is a new kind
of BIack Power.

577
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,824
When I say, ''Thug Life'',
I mean that shit,

578
00:44:26,030 --> 00:44:28,692
because these white foIks
see us as thugs.

579
00:44:28,899 --> 00:44:32,835
I don't care if you think you a Iawyer,
a man, an African-American.

580
00:44:33,037 --> 00:44:35,062
If you whatever the fuck
you think you are,

581
00:44:35,272 --> 00:44:37,740
we thugs and niggas
to these motherfuckers!

582
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:40,603
UntiI we own some shit,
I'II caII it Iike it is.

583
00:44:40,811 --> 00:44:42,506
How you gonna be a man
and we starving?

584
00:44:43,414 --> 00:44:45,211
WaIk about five different houses,

585
00:44:45,416 --> 00:44:48,249
there ain't a man in either one
of them motherfuckers.

586
00:44:48,452 --> 00:44:51,853
How we gonna be African-Americans
if we aII need a gun?

587
00:44:52,056 --> 00:44:55,219
We thugs and niggas
untiI we set this shit right.

588
00:44:55,426 --> 00:44:56,893
Trust me when I teII you that shit.

589
00:44:57,094 --> 00:45:00,723
Young bIack maIes identify with
Thug Life, but I couIdn't handIe it.

590
00:45:00,931 --> 00:45:03,092
I couId handIe it, but not right away.

591
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:06,599
- Mr Shakur, can we get a comment?
- HeII, no. Thug Life.

592
00:45:06,804 --> 00:45:09,534
- Pardon me?
- Thug Life. That's my comment.

593
00:45:09,740 --> 00:45:12,231
What's that mean? I don't understand.

594
00:45:13,911 --> 00:45:15,879
- What did happen?
- Thug Life.

595
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:20,915
Imagine you have 1 4,000 peopIe
ready to do whatever you want.

596
00:45:21,118 --> 00:45:26,613
You have, aII over the country, peopIe
waiting to hear what you wanna do.

597
00:45:27,925 --> 00:45:33,056
I got peopIe in the penitentiary,
big-time OG criminaIs, caIIing me,

598
00:45:33,263 --> 00:45:36,130
teIIing me they want me
to Iead their movement.

599
00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:38,494
I mean, I'm gonna have a probIem.

600
00:45:40,604 --> 00:45:43,129
So they toId me to watch my Ianguage.

601
00:45:44,141 --> 00:45:46,302
Fuck that.

602
00:45:47,311 --> 00:45:51,270
I'm gonna have a smaII identity crisis.
I feIt Iike, ''I got every man in America

603
00:45:51,482 --> 00:45:55,509
''who wants to take orders from me,
who wants to know what I wanna do.''

604
00:45:58,822 --> 00:46:02,485
Wants to know my pIan for young
bIack maIes. That makes me scared.

605
00:46:16,373 --> 00:46:17,806
I'm 22.

606
00:46:18,008 --> 00:46:21,273
I was having concerts soId out,
white boys, Mexicans, bIacks,

607
00:46:21,478 --> 00:46:24,970
and they wouId do what I say.
I couId teII them to turn in a circIe,

608
00:46:25,182 --> 00:46:27,116
and they wouId do it.
I was having Iove,

609
00:46:27,317 --> 00:46:29,842
Iike, undeniabIe Iove,
and I was scared.

610
00:46:33,857 --> 00:46:37,190
I was scared, but so was America,
so was somebody eIse.

611
00:46:37,694 --> 00:46:40,720
- I'm a IiberaI Democrat.
- I'm a conservative RepubIican,

612
00:46:40,931 --> 00:46:43,695
but we both worry about
the society our chiIdren Iive in.

613
00:46:43,901 --> 00:46:46,995
But that makes me want
to rise to the occasion.

614
00:46:47,204 --> 00:46:50,002
It makes me want
to give my whoIe Iife to it.

615
00:46:50,207 --> 00:46:53,836
And I wiII give my whoIe Iife to
this pIan that I have for Thug Life.

616
00:46:54,044 --> 00:46:56,569
That's my new posse,
my new way of thinking.

617
00:46:56,814 --> 00:46:59,908
That's how we roIIing in the nine-three.
Thug Life.

618
00:47:01,018 --> 00:47:04,249
By ''thug'', I mean, not criminaI,
someone that beats you.

619
00:47:04,454 --> 00:47:05,819
I mean the underdog.

620
00:47:06,023 --> 00:47:08,719
The person that had nothing
and succeeds is a thug,

621
00:47:08,926 --> 00:47:10,416
because he overcame aII obstacIes.

622
00:47:10,627 --> 00:47:13,221
It has nothing to do
with the dictionary's version.

623
00:47:13,430 --> 00:47:17,366
To me, thug is my pride, not being
someone that goes against the Iaw,

624
00:47:17,568 --> 00:47:21,334
not being someone that takes,
but being someone that has nothing,

625
00:47:21,538 --> 00:47:25,702
and even though I have nothing and
no home to go to, my head is up high.

626
00:47:25,909 --> 00:47:29,242
My chest is out. I waIk taII.
I taIk Ioud. I'm being strong.

627
00:47:29,446 --> 00:47:33,507
I'm against raciaI, ethnic entitIements.
I think they are un-American.

628
00:47:35,385 --> 00:47:38,377
I don't understand why America
doesn't understand Thug Life.

629
00:47:38,589 --> 00:47:41,183
America is Thug Life.

630
00:47:41,391 --> 00:47:43,222
How is me saying,
''I don't give a fuck,''

631
00:47:43,427 --> 00:47:48,057
different than Patrick Henry saying,
''Give me Iiberty or give me death''?

632
00:47:49,099 --> 00:47:53,627
What makes my freedom
Iess worth fighting for than Bosnians

633
00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:56,339
or whoever they wanna
fight for this year?

634
00:47:58,308 --> 00:48:00,640
They shouId give money to the ghetto.

635
00:48:00,878 --> 00:48:05,042
Even gangs can be positive.
It just has to be organised.

636
00:48:05,249 --> 00:48:09,379
It has to steer away from being seIf-
destructive to being seIf-productive.

637
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,778
I organised the OGs on the East
and West Coasts in penitentiaries

638
00:48:13,991 --> 00:48:16,824
to come up with
codes of ethics for criminaIs.

639
00:48:17,027 --> 00:48:18,824
It's caIIed the Code of Thug Life.

640
00:48:19,029 --> 00:48:22,055
It's a code, putting order
to the vioIence on the streets.

641
00:48:22,266 --> 00:48:24,962
In Watts, Compton, Chicago, wherever.

642
00:48:25,168 --> 00:48:28,331
PeopIe aII over the country say,
''We go by this code.

643
00:48:28,538 --> 00:48:32,133
''We're against attacks on peopIe
not invoIved with the street gang,

644
00:48:32,342 --> 00:48:34,810
''the drug trade
or the iIIegaI business at aII.

645
00:48:35,012 --> 00:48:38,140
''AII that kidnapping and shooting
drive-bys, we against that.''

646
00:48:38,348 --> 00:48:41,408
Thug Life ain't just a bunch
of niggas going crazy.

647
00:48:41,618 --> 00:48:44,178
We wanna patroI our streets.
So aII we saying is,

648
00:48:44,421 --> 00:48:47,652
if every motherfucker out here
right now gave up one doIIar

649
00:48:47,858 --> 00:48:50,622
to this Thug Life fund,
the money don't go to me,

650
00:48:50,827 --> 00:48:53,352
it go to somebody
from y'aII neighbourhood,

651
00:48:53,563 --> 00:48:56,623
and we do this shit every month.
I'II bring new rappers,

652
00:48:56,833 --> 00:48:58,801
I'II bring Snoop,
whoever y'aII want.

653
00:48:59,002 --> 00:49:01,937
I'II go snatch them niggas.

654
00:49:02,139 --> 00:49:04,835
For that shit to happen,
we can't have vioIence,

655
00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:07,442
and everybody gotta be down
for that shit.

656
00:49:08,512 --> 00:49:11,504
We gonna start sIowIy but sureIy
taking our communities back.

657
00:49:11,715 --> 00:49:15,515
ReguIate our community. Organise.
Start taking care of our own.

658
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:19,450
We gotta start somewhere, and I don't
know about anything but this.

659
00:49:19,656 --> 00:49:23,956
- What is the message, though?
- AII the peopIe you threw away,

660
00:49:24,161 --> 00:49:27,722
the dope deaIers, criminaIs, they
wiII be Iegit next to you in first cIass,

661
00:49:27,965 --> 00:49:30,331
thanks to your boy.

662
00:49:33,370 --> 00:49:35,338
You know those
IittIe things for mice,

663
00:49:35,539 --> 00:49:38,064
where they go through
and there's IittIe bIocks?

664
00:49:38,275 --> 00:49:39,799
WeII, society is Iike that.

665
00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:43,878
They'II Iet you go as far as you want,
but when you ask too many questions

666
00:49:44,081 --> 00:49:48,347
and you're ready to change,
boom, that bIock'II come.

667
00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:56,423
There is no reason
for a record Iike this

668
00:49:56,626 --> 00:49:59,720
to be pubIished
by a responsibIe corporation.

669
00:49:59,930 --> 00:50:03,093
Never before has there been
such a wiII to use music

670
00:50:03,300 --> 00:50:06,599
to advertise seIf-destructive vioIence.

671
00:50:06,803 --> 00:50:10,705
It gIorifies vioIence. It's creating
a cuIture of guns and rape.

672
00:50:10,907 --> 00:50:14,001
Adding insult to injury, she says,
is rapper Tupac Shakur

673
00:50:14,211 --> 00:50:16,042
being nominated
for an NAACP lmage Award.

674
00:50:16,246 --> 00:50:18,544
I got the whoIe worId fearing me,
and I ain't even started.

675
00:50:20,283 --> 00:50:23,218
I don't have my pIan,
and they're trying to stop me.

676
00:50:23,420 --> 00:50:27,015
I chaIIenge the view that those
who reveI in vioIence and depravity,

677
00:50:27,224 --> 00:50:29,920
on the screen or in the song,
bear no responsibiIity

678
00:50:30,127 --> 00:50:32,095
when that spirit spreads
into our cuIture.

679
00:50:32,295 --> 00:50:35,696
No disrespect to Bob DoIe.
He don't know what he taIking about.

680
00:50:35,899 --> 00:50:40,268
He's just taIking. Some card somebody
gave him, he's just reading off a card.

681
00:50:41,838 --> 00:50:44,272
But he's cute, you know?
He's my grandfather.

682
00:50:44,474 --> 00:50:46,772
- Right.
- He's an oId dude, taIking mess.

683
00:50:46,977 --> 00:50:51,038
You don't have to use
viIe and ugIy Ianguage.

684
00:50:51,248 --> 00:50:55,309
WPGC in Washington D. C.
dropped violent or demeaning lyrics.

685
00:50:55,552 --> 00:50:57,782
KACE in Los Angeles followed suit.

686
00:50:57,988 --> 00:51:01,788
They're yeIIing, ''Shoot!'' in a community
that is crowded with guns.

687
00:51:01,992 --> 00:51:06,554
I'm not Iooking for approvaI from the
bIack community. We are a part of it.

688
00:51:06,763 --> 00:51:10,221
I'm a thug, and I rap about
the oppressed fighting back.

689
00:51:12,836 --> 00:51:15,270
Yes, my raps are fiIIed with rage.

690
00:51:18,775 --> 00:51:23,337
You have to be IogicaI. You know?
If I know that in this hoteI room

691
00:51:23,580 --> 00:51:27,914
they have food every day, and I'm
knocking on the door every day to eat,

692
00:51:28,118 --> 00:51:30,848
and they open the door,
Iet me see the party,

693
00:51:31,088 --> 00:51:33,613
Iet me see them
throwing saIami aII over,

694
00:51:33,824 --> 00:51:37,988
I mean, just throwing food around,
but they're teIIing me there's no food.

695
00:51:38,195 --> 00:51:42,791
Every day, I'm standing outside
trying to sing my way in.

696
00:51:42,999 --> 00:51:46,833
We are hungry, please let us in
We are hungry, please let us in

697
00:51:47,037 --> 00:51:49,471
After about a week that song
is gonna change to,

698
00:51:49,673 --> 00:51:51,641
We hungry, we need some food

699
00:51:51,842 --> 00:51:53,969
After two, three weeks, it's Iike,

700
00:51:54,177 --> 00:51:56,475
Give me the food
Or l'm breaking down the door

701
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,272
After a year you're just Iike,

702
00:51:58,482 --> 00:52:01,645
l'm picking the lock
Coming through the door blasting

703
00:52:01,852 --> 00:52:04,320
It's Iike, you hungry,
you reached your IeveI.

704
00:52:04,521 --> 00:52:07,388
We asked ten years ago.
We was asking with the Panthers.

705
00:52:07,624 --> 00:52:11,321
We was asking with them, the CiviI
Rights Movement. We was asking.

706
00:52:11,528 --> 00:52:14,019
Those peopIe that asked
are dead and in jaiI.

707
00:52:14,231 --> 00:52:18,190
So now what do you think
we're gonna do? Ask?

708
00:52:30,747 --> 00:52:34,308
There's a bad part because
kids see that and mimic you.

709
00:52:34,518 --> 00:52:37,214
I haven't figured that out yet.
But the positive side

710
00:52:37,420 --> 00:52:40,856
is the kid who Iives in a house
where the mother is a crackhead,

711
00:52:41,057 --> 00:52:43,582
he hears the rap. He's Iike,
''That's every day.

712
00:52:43,793 --> 00:52:47,422
''So I don't have to feeI ashamed.''
It cuts both ways.

713
00:52:47,664 --> 00:52:49,723
To me, it's Iike, when I sing,

714
00:52:49,933 --> 00:52:52,868
l live the Thug Life
Baby, l'm hopeless

715
00:52:53,069 --> 00:52:56,402
One person might hear that
and just Iike the way it sounds.

716
00:52:56,606 --> 00:53:01,600
But I'm doing it for the kid that Iives
a Thug Life and feeIs Iike it's hopeIess.

717
00:53:01,811 --> 00:53:07,272
So when I say, ''hopeIess'', and when
I say it Iike that, it's Iike I reach him.

718
00:53:07,484 --> 00:53:09,543
And even if, when I reach him,

719
00:53:09,753 --> 00:53:13,587
it makes it Iook gIorious
to the guy that doesn't Iive that Iife,

720
00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:17,089
I can't heIp it. It's a fad.
He'II drop the Thug Life soon.

721
00:53:17,294 --> 00:53:21,731
But for the person I tried to reach, he'II
pick it up, and I'II be abIe to taIk to him.

722
00:53:21,932 --> 00:53:23,866
I try to be responsibIe,
but it's hard.

723
00:53:24,067 --> 00:53:27,093
If you worry about what you're saying,
I get writer's bIock.

724
00:53:27,304 --> 00:53:30,865
Kind of Iike, ''I can't say that.
That's too harsh. Can't say this.''

725
00:53:31,074 --> 00:53:34,805
I have to bIock it out and trust
my heart that I'm doing the right thing.

726
00:53:35,011 --> 00:53:37,707
Pretty spit I was spitting.

727
00:53:37,914 --> 00:53:42,408
- ChiII out. ChiII out.
- That's my styIe. That's my new styIe.

728
00:53:42,619 --> 00:53:45,747
- That's my new styIe.
- 'Pac, chiII out.

729
00:53:45,956 --> 00:53:48,481
That's my new styIe.

730
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,490
Hey, have a good summer.

731
00:53:54,431 --> 00:53:56,262
Have a good summer, bitch!

732
00:53:56,466 --> 00:53:59,458
But I'm not saying
I didn't make mistakes.

733
00:53:59,669 --> 00:54:03,105
Like some of the things I said when
I was fighting the Hughes brothers.

734
00:54:05,775 --> 00:54:08,938
I beat up the directors
to Menace ll Society.

735
00:54:09,145 --> 00:54:13,639
- AII right, teII them why you did that.
- These chump, punk, sIump...

736
00:54:13,850 --> 00:54:17,149
- You'II have a chance to rebut that.
- No, they better come now.

737
00:54:17,354 --> 00:54:20,790
Check this out, they fired me
in a roundabout, punk, snitch way.

738
00:54:20,991 --> 00:54:24,427
So I caught them on the streets
and beat they behinds.

739
00:54:24,628 --> 00:54:27,290
I was a menace to the
Hughes brothers. It ain't over!

740
00:54:27,497 --> 00:54:30,864
I stiII got more for you chumps!
I read what you said about me!

741
00:54:31,067 --> 00:54:33,968
I'm gonna kick their ass!

742
00:54:34,170 --> 00:54:35,967
My big mouth.

743
00:54:36,172 --> 00:54:39,630
Mind y'aII business, I'II mind mine.
I do what I gotta do,

744
00:54:39,843 --> 00:54:42,869
you do what you gotta do.
Long as I give you 1 2 tracks,

745
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:46,446
you give me my $1 2, and we even.
I don't gotta be a roIe modeI.

746
00:54:46,650 --> 00:54:50,108
I don't gotta hoId your hand.
I don't gotta do shit.

747
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,448
My big mouth.
I got a big mouth, can't heIp it.

748
00:54:53,657 --> 00:54:56,649
- I taIk from my heart, I'm reaI.
- We taIked about

749
00:54:56,860 --> 00:55:01,320
peopIe in this business that you feeI
don't have a Iove for their own peopIe.

750
00:55:01,531 --> 00:55:06,230
We was taIking about
Spike Lee, Arsenio HaII,

751
00:55:06,436 --> 00:55:08,734
Eddie Murphy and the rest of them.

752
00:55:08,938 --> 00:55:13,136
I thought I was charming, but I was
immature. I did things without thinking.

753
00:55:13,343 --> 00:55:15,675
MichaeI Jackson, Randy Jackson,

754
00:55:15,879 --> 00:55:18,313
Janet Jackson, PauIa AbduI,
aII of them.

755
00:55:18,515 --> 00:55:20,881
She wants to not be bIack,
but seII to bIacks.

756
00:55:21,084 --> 00:55:26,021
I don't appreciate her going
out of her way to say she's not bIack.

757
00:55:26,222 --> 00:55:30,056
My actions came before thought.
Things that I did, things I said.

758
00:55:30,260 --> 00:55:31,989
So many things I wanna take back.

759
00:55:32,195 --> 00:55:36,529
Eddie Murphy, with aII that dough he's
making, hasn't done nothing for us.

760
00:55:36,733 --> 00:55:39,861
- He does a Iot of charity.
- Charity doesn't get to the ghetto.

761
00:55:40,070 --> 00:55:41,435
Everybody knows that.

762
00:55:41,638 --> 00:55:43,401
I was young and dumb.

763
00:55:43,606 --> 00:55:46,439
Being mad at Spike Lee
and aII those peopIe, aII of that.

764
00:55:46,643 --> 00:55:48,770
The thing I said of Quincy Jones,

765
00:55:48,978 --> 00:55:50,775
he shouIdn't mess
with white women.

766
00:55:50,980 --> 00:55:53,005
I said I was sorry, personaIIy, for that.

767
00:55:53,216 --> 00:55:55,377
I didn't think of how
it wouId hurt peopIe.

768
00:55:55,585 --> 00:55:59,612
I'm gonna catch y'aII in traffic and
be the roughest nigga you ever seen.

769
00:55:59,856 --> 00:56:01,414
That turned into
more IegaI probIems.

770
00:56:01,624 --> 00:56:05,720
The PeopIe truIy beIieve that
Mr Shakur has shown no remorse

771
00:56:05,929 --> 00:56:08,727
whatsoever for his action in this case.

772
00:56:08,932 --> 00:56:13,232
We view Mr Shakur's appearance
on Yo! MTV Raps as bragging.

773
00:56:13,436 --> 00:56:16,269
He was proud of what he did
and does not feeI sorry.

774
00:56:16,473 --> 00:56:21,240
I just want to say, judge,
that I have a great deaI of remorse.

775
00:56:21,444 --> 00:56:25,039
As far as I want you to treat
me different, I don't want that.

776
00:56:25,248 --> 00:56:29,378
I just want the chance to make right
from aII the bad things that I got.

777
00:56:29,586 --> 00:56:32,578
I got things against me
and peopIe that Iook up to me.

778
00:56:32,789 --> 00:56:35,280
I don't want the Iast pIace
they see me to be jaiI.

779
00:56:35,492 --> 00:56:38,928
I guess it's now time
for me to render the sentence.

780
00:56:39,129 --> 00:56:42,656
I obviousIy find that the defendant
is a taIented individuaI.

781
00:56:42,899 --> 00:56:46,995
However, this court beIieves that jaiI
time is warranted with a battery

782
00:56:47,203 --> 00:56:48,898
with some injury invoIved.

783
00:56:49,105 --> 00:56:52,006
The defendant wiII serve 1 5 days
in the county jaiI.

784
00:56:52,208 --> 00:56:53,835
I think the judge was fair.

785
00:56:54,043 --> 00:56:56,944
I stiII don't feeI Iike I got
the decision that I wanted,

786
00:56:57,147 --> 00:56:59,615
but he was as fair as he couId be.

787
00:56:59,816 --> 00:57:03,582
ReaIIy, to my homeboys, I mean,
a fight is a fight, battery is battery.

788
00:57:03,787 --> 00:57:07,951
A two-and-a-haIf minute probIem
just cost me 1 5 days in jaiI,

789
00:57:08,158 --> 00:57:09,489
and that was Ienient.

790
00:57:09,692 --> 00:57:12,786
But my most serious IegaI probIems
came from women.

791
00:57:14,164 --> 00:57:15,995
How I was acting with women.

792
00:57:20,370 --> 00:57:24,704
I wiII no Ionger sit passiveIy,
aIIowing this degradation

793
00:57:24,941 --> 00:57:27,466
to be continued by our chiIdren.

794
00:57:27,677 --> 00:57:30,646
I think we Iive in a very sexist society,

795
00:57:30,847 --> 00:57:33,543
and everybody's pointing
the finger at me.

796
00:57:33,750 --> 00:57:37,652
When somebody asks me,
''Do you expIoit women?''

797
00:57:37,854 --> 00:57:42,018
With her permission, I might
smack a girI on the butt in the video.

798
00:57:42,225 --> 00:57:45,285
I might be drinking champagne,
but everything in moderation,

799
00:57:45,495 --> 00:57:46,826
and everything with cIass.

800
00:57:57,106 --> 00:57:59,802
I don't have to aIways do a song
with the good woman.

801
00:58:00,009 --> 00:58:03,672
I don't see women as aII one thing.
I think aII women are different.

802
00:58:08,418 --> 00:58:11,751
We African-American
women, particuIarIy,

803
00:58:11,988 --> 00:58:17,722
are tired of being caIIed hoes,
bitches and sIuts by our chiIdren.

804
00:58:27,270 --> 00:58:31,070
If I do something that has a bad
woman, peopIe go, ''He hates women.''

805
00:58:31,274 --> 00:58:35,370
I don't think Iike that. But there
are definiteIy a type of femaIe,

806
00:58:35,578 --> 00:58:38,843
IabeI them a bitch, whose main thing
is to get what they can,

807
00:58:39,048 --> 00:58:42,575
and they reveI in breaking a nigga's
heart and taking what he owns.

808
00:58:42,785 --> 00:58:44,116
Shut the fuck up!

809
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,254
There's maIe bitches too.

810
00:58:46,456 --> 00:58:49,914
Women know there are bitches.
I don't know why they're surprised.

811
00:58:50,126 --> 00:58:53,095
They know. They say it Iouder.

812
00:58:53,296 --> 00:58:56,891
They think we say they're aII bitches.
That's not what we're saying.

813
00:59:02,438 --> 00:59:04,463
That's Keep Ya Head Up
and Get Around.

814
00:59:04,674 --> 00:59:07,643
I said, ''I'm gonna write a song
about women Iike my mom,

815
00:59:07,844 --> 00:59:10,904
''who represent a strong
bIack woman.'' I did that.

816
00:59:11,114 --> 00:59:13,582
I'II rap about women I see daiIy.
That's Get Around.

817
00:59:13,783 --> 00:59:17,446
If I just did Keep Ya Head Up,
it makes me seem more than I am,

818
00:59:17,654 --> 00:59:19,451
but I'm just a normaI man.

819
00:59:19,656 --> 00:59:24,116
America, America

820
00:59:24,327 --> 00:59:30,562
- God shed his grace on thee
- Stop.

821
00:59:30,767 --> 00:59:33,099
I'm gonna cIose the door.

822
00:59:33,303 --> 00:59:35,999
Come on, Mr Cameraman.

823
00:59:36,205 --> 00:59:42,235
This is some reaI private shit that's
about to happen, Mr Cameraman.

824
00:59:42,445 --> 00:59:43,844
Bye.

825
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:45,945
Anyway, I'II Iet you hear the sounds.

826
00:59:46,149 --> 00:59:49,312
Is there a doubIe standard
for men being promiscuous?

827
00:59:49,519 --> 00:59:52,454
Yeah, but we didn't start
that doubIe standard.

828
00:59:52,655 --> 00:59:55,920
- I'm not saying you did.
- And I'm not saying it's fair.

829
00:59:56,125 --> 01:00:00,528
I'm saying this is how it is. How can we
rap about a worId that is not Iike that?

830
01:00:00,730 --> 01:00:03,255
- This is how it is.
- Do you Iook down on maIes

831
01:00:03,466 --> 01:00:05,798
if they're as promiscuous as women?

832
01:00:06,002 --> 01:00:07,970
I don't Iook down on anybody
that's promiscuous.

833
01:00:08,171 --> 01:00:11,663
I onIy Iook down on peopIe
who don't controI the situation.

834
01:00:11,874 --> 01:00:14,934
If a girI sIeeps with a Iot of guys,
she's stiII my homegirI.

835
01:00:15,144 --> 01:00:18,136
You're onIy a bitch, not if you
sIeep with a Iot of guys,

836
01:00:18,348 --> 01:00:20,475
but if you're sIeeping
with them for money.

837
01:00:20,683 --> 01:00:24,016
- So you put a price on yourseIf.
- Because they have a nice car.

838
01:00:24,220 --> 01:00:26,882
Guys, when they sIeep around,
they do it for free.

839
01:00:28,224 --> 01:00:32,524
At that time, a Iot of girIs, they'd seen
my face on TV so many times,

840
01:00:32,729 --> 01:00:35,493
they wanna be associated
with that person.

841
01:00:35,698 --> 01:00:39,134
It's the fame that gets these peopIe.
It's not me. It's the fame.

842
01:00:39,335 --> 01:00:42,327
I've seen femaIes Iook at me
when they didn't know me,

843
01:00:42,538 --> 01:00:44,199
and I can see it, nothing.

844
01:00:44,407 --> 01:00:47,672
Then someone whisper who I was,
it's this gIare in the eye.

845
01:00:47,877 --> 01:00:51,040
- You make yourseIf want them.
- How do you feeI about that?

846
01:00:51,247 --> 01:00:54,410
I don't understand how peopIe can
stand next to you one year,

847
01:00:54,651 --> 01:00:58,712
and next year, they cannot.
They're going crazy, screaming.

848
01:00:58,921 --> 01:01:03,381
They can't take it that you're there.
But Iast year I was in the same cIub,

849
01:01:03,593 --> 01:01:05,925
waIking around,
IoneIy Iike a motherfucker.

850
01:01:06,162 --> 01:01:09,689
CouIdn't get a date or a dance.
I was too skinny, too something,

851
01:01:09,899 --> 01:01:12,993
and now, ''He's just adorabIe.
He's just, oh!''

852
01:01:15,905 --> 01:01:20,239
But I stiII enjoyed sex without
the emotionaI connection.

853
01:01:20,443 --> 01:01:24,539
And it was aIways a fantasy
for me to have sex

854
01:01:24,747 --> 01:01:26,772
with a Iot of peopIe in the room.

855
01:01:27,183 --> 01:01:30,277
But I didn't pIay
one situation correctIy.

856
01:01:31,621 --> 01:01:35,682
Rap singer Tupac Shakur was
released on $50,000 bail today,

857
01:01:35,892 --> 01:01:38,725
accused of a sexual attack
in a New York hotel.

858
01:01:38,928 --> 01:01:42,295
The singer was arrested Thursday
night after a woman claimed

859
01:01:42,498 --> 01:01:45,626
he and three other men
overpowered her in a hotel suite.

860
01:01:45,835 --> 01:01:50,295
- Are you disappointing your fans?
- Yes, but they're gonna support me.

861
01:01:51,074 --> 01:01:55,306
With bodyguards and attorneys,
he went into Manhattan Criminal Court.

862
01:01:55,511 --> 01:01:59,447
There, the rapper and two friends were
charged with first-degree sodomy.

863
01:01:59,649 --> 01:02:02,140
The allegations stem
from an incident last Thursday

864
01:02:02,351 --> 01:02:04,478
in which a woman claims
she was held down

865
01:02:04,721 --> 01:02:06,814
as he and two others
allegedly sodomised her.

866
01:02:07,023 --> 01:02:10,151
The aIIegations by this
young Iady are without merit.

867
01:02:10,359 --> 01:02:13,590
Defence attorneys say the woman
went there consensually,

868
01:02:13,796 --> 01:02:15,661
and answering machine tapes
that indicate

869
01:02:15,865 --> 01:02:18,959
her interest in Shakur
were erased by police.

870
01:02:20,103 --> 01:02:24,597
OK, so you teII me when your
Iawyers have asked you to stop.

871
01:02:24,807 --> 01:02:28,641
The girI who cIaims that...

872
01:02:28,845 --> 01:02:30,176
What does she cIaim?

873
01:02:30,379 --> 01:02:32,506
- I can't even say it, man.
- OK.

874
01:02:32,749 --> 01:02:35,445
But technicaIIy, it's a rape case.

875
01:02:35,651 --> 01:02:37,448
I wasn't convicted of no rape charge.

876
01:02:37,653 --> 01:02:41,783
My charge was sexuaI abuse,
forcibIy touching the buttocks.

877
01:02:41,991 --> 01:02:45,927
I have a femaIe saying that...
I can't say it, but...

878
01:02:46,129 --> 01:02:48,256
It just bothers me so much,
you know?

879
01:02:48,464 --> 01:02:51,456
To go through my Iife
and everything I did, coming out

880
01:02:51,667 --> 01:02:53,794
of a famiIy and househoId
with just women,

881
01:02:54,003 --> 01:02:58,633
to get to this point to have a woman
say that I took something from her.

882
01:02:58,841 --> 01:03:00,172
It was hard.

883
01:03:03,846 --> 01:03:07,111
lt was an emotional day
for a 20-year-old female fan,

884
01:03:07,316 --> 01:03:10,843
who admitted that she had consensual
sex with Shakur on Sunday night,

885
01:03:11,053 --> 01:03:14,045
four days before her alleged rape
in the hotel room.

886
01:03:14,290 --> 01:03:17,487
During her cross-examination,
defence attorney Michael Warren

887
01:03:17,693 --> 01:03:22,790
painted a picture of a starstruck, naive
girl anxious to have sex with Shakur.

888
01:03:22,999 --> 01:03:26,901
Word is you had a reIationship with
this woman prior to aII this friction.

889
01:03:27,103 --> 01:03:30,800
If you can say that's a reIationship.
I bumped in a cIub. I seen her.

890
01:03:31,007 --> 01:03:33,805
Let's use a cIinicaI term.
There was oraI copuIation?

891
01:03:34,010 --> 01:03:37,173
Yeah, she performed oraI sex
on the dance fIoor.

892
01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:40,349
A Iot of guys couId say
what they wouIdn't do

893
01:03:40,550 --> 01:03:43,519
and what they wouId do,
but when it happens, you know...?

894
01:03:43,719 --> 01:03:46,688
- Yeah.
- It just goes down. And it's... ReaIIy.

895
01:03:54,096 --> 01:03:58,089
She did some things there at the cIub,
and we got together Iater that night.

896
01:03:58,334 --> 01:04:02,065
I saw her again another time with
these guys that introduced me to her.

897
01:04:02,271 --> 01:04:06,367
Everybody was having a good time,
nothing sexuaI, just a good time.

898
01:04:06,576 --> 01:04:09,909
Me and her went in, she gave me
a massage, went to sIeep, woke up,

899
01:04:10,112 --> 01:04:13,343
she's screaming,
''Rape, rape.'' I raped her.

900
01:04:13,549 --> 01:04:18,009
And she's yeIIing at me, ''This is not
the Iast you're gonna see of me.''

901
01:04:18,221 --> 01:04:22,282
I'm cursing her out because I'm not
thinking she's reaIIy gonna do that.

902
01:04:22,491 --> 01:04:24,891
And the next thing I know,
I'm going to jaiI.

903
01:04:25,094 --> 01:04:28,188
In your opinion there was no truth
to the sexuaI abuse charges?

904
01:04:28,397 --> 01:04:29,955
Not on my part at aII.

905
01:04:30,166 --> 01:04:32,430
The defence pounded away at her,

906
01:04:32,635 --> 01:04:36,731
asking her why she didn't scream for
help at the time of the alleged attack.

907
01:04:36,939 --> 01:04:39,806
The woman testified
that Shakur's friends said,

908
01:04:40,009 --> 01:04:43,410
''Tupac needs his fans.
Don't go to the White Man with this.

909
01:04:43,613 --> 01:04:47,049
''Millions of girls would love
to be in your shoes right now. ''

910
01:04:47,250 --> 01:04:48,649
What about your cronies?

911
01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:52,446
That was a big misconception.
The peopIe with me weren't friends.

912
01:04:52,655 --> 01:04:55,886
- Why were they in your room?
- I hang with Iots of peopIe.

913
01:04:56,092 --> 01:04:58,925
And that's how I am.
It's simiIar to Iike you said

914
01:04:59,128 --> 01:05:02,495
about Led ZeppeIin. They don't
know aII of the peopIe with them.

915
01:05:02,698 --> 01:05:04,928
This guy got the weed?
OK, you can kick it.

916
01:05:05,134 --> 01:05:06,761
Got the money?
You can kick it.

917
01:05:06,969 --> 01:05:10,803
This guy has connections to the cIubs?
OK, you can kick it. I don't know him.

918
01:05:13,609 --> 01:05:17,568
But that was my fauIt, I had that
kind of environment around me.

919
01:05:20,616 --> 01:05:24,746
I didn't do nothing. I'm charged with
being in concert with some guys.

920
01:05:24,954 --> 01:05:26,581
WeII, where are they at?

921
01:05:26,789 --> 01:05:28,154
Why me? Because I'm Tupac...

922
01:05:28,357 --> 01:05:30,484
I'm not mad at them.
I'm mad at the system.

923
01:05:30,693 --> 01:05:32,593
I don't want nobody to go to jaiI,

924
01:05:32,795 --> 01:05:35,457
but I don't wanna go
for something I didn't do.

925
01:05:35,665 --> 01:05:37,758
I just don't wanna be the scapegoat.

926
01:05:37,967 --> 01:05:40,663
I just couIdn't beIieve
this was going on in my Iife.

927
01:05:40,870 --> 01:05:45,102
See the cameras. It wasn't Iike I had a
chance for justice Iike a normaI citizen.

928
01:05:47,643 --> 01:05:51,010
Hi, Tupac. Can you teII me
how you're doing today?

929
01:05:51,213 --> 01:05:56,150
WeII, I just had to Iisten to the
prosecution's cIosing argument,

930
01:05:56,352 --> 01:06:00,880
and it was so far from the truth that it
has me drained at the end of the day.

931
01:06:01,090 --> 01:06:03,524
But I'm Ieaving it in
the hands of the jury.

932
01:06:03,726 --> 01:06:08,129
I'm Iearning a Iot about peopIe's
innermost fears in this triaI.

933
01:06:08,331 --> 01:06:11,129
It's not even about my triaI no more.
It's just about

934
01:06:11,334 --> 01:06:14,895
Ioud rap music, tattoo-having thugs.

935
01:06:15,104 --> 01:06:18,938
It's about some nightmare
that these peopIe are having.

936
01:06:19,775 --> 01:06:21,970
I can't understand why it's so cIose.

937
01:06:22,178 --> 01:06:27,810
There's no evidence I sodomised her,
even though you put that in the paper.

938
01:06:28,017 --> 01:06:30,076
Print the facts so everybody
can sort it out.

939
01:06:30,286 --> 01:06:33,551
My Iife is ruined because nobody
has a chance to get the facts.

940
01:06:33,756 --> 01:06:35,815
Fact is, there was no semen found.

941
01:06:36,025 --> 01:06:41,657
No semen found, no forcibIe entry,
no entry into the anaI, no nothing.

942
01:06:41,864 --> 01:06:43,195
I wanted to expIain it.

943
01:06:43,399 --> 01:06:46,698
If you couId go back to the night
when the abuse occurred,

944
01:06:46,902 --> 01:06:49,393
- is there anything you'd do differentIy?
- Yeah.

945
01:06:49,605 --> 01:06:53,268
I wouId not have cIosed my eyes
untiI she was out of the room,

946
01:06:53,509 --> 01:06:55,670
untiI everybody was out of the room.

947
01:06:55,878 --> 01:06:59,507
So when you Ieft the room
and Ieft her with those peopIe...

948
01:06:59,715 --> 01:07:02,513
I didn't Ieave her with those peopIe
or bring her to them.

949
01:07:02,718 --> 01:07:04,117
- She came over?
- Right.

950
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,221
She came over, knew
those peopIe, knew everything.

951
01:07:07,423 --> 01:07:09,755
I just didn't grab her out of there.

952
01:07:11,927 --> 01:07:16,057
I'm guiIty of not being a smart man,
not being a good-hearted man,

953
01:07:16,265 --> 01:07:18,062
I guess, or being more considerate.

954
01:07:18,267 --> 01:07:21,930
At any point, were you aware she
was invoIved in something she...

955
01:07:22,138 --> 01:07:26,199
- Cut. That's a probIem right there.
- Excuse me.

956
01:07:26,409 --> 01:07:28,570
None of these IegaI matters
can be asked.

957
01:07:28,778 --> 01:07:31,941
I have a Iist of the stuff
you'II have to cut out. Sorry.

958
01:07:32,148 --> 01:07:35,549
- AII right.
- The gentIeman is out on baiI.

959
01:07:35,751 --> 01:07:37,378
I see.

960
01:07:38,287 --> 01:07:39,754
I couIdn't defend myseIf.

961
01:07:39,955 --> 01:07:42,788
This wouId never have happened
to anybody eIse.

962
01:07:42,992 --> 01:07:45,927
They have no evidence on me,
and it's about to come out.

963
01:07:46,128 --> 01:07:48,289
Now my Iife is over.
This is a year Iater.

964
01:07:48,497 --> 01:07:51,489
A year after the worId's
been thinking I'm a rapist.

965
01:07:51,700 --> 01:07:53,395
The whoIe worId
owes me an apoIogy.

966
01:07:53,602 --> 01:07:56,503
I went through it and didn't
kiII myseIf Iike Kurt Cobain.

967
01:07:56,705 --> 01:07:59,572
And I shouId, because this is
some crazy madness.

968
01:08:08,684 --> 01:08:12,552
Central, l got a black male
shot at 48th and 7th.

969
01:08:15,958 --> 01:08:19,519
Last night, just after midnight,
at 723 7th Avenue,

970
01:08:19,728 --> 01:08:22,595
that's between 48th and 49th Street,

971
01:08:22,798 --> 01:08:27,030
rap star Tupac Shakur and
three members of his group

972
01:08:27,236 --> 01:08:28,863
were robbed and shot.

973
01:08:36,812 --> 01:08:38,871
They shot me, straight up.

974
01:08:39,115 --> 01:08:42,084
I just kept thinking,
''They reaIIy did shoot me.''

975
01:08:42,685 --> 01:08:46,143
When I wasn't dead,
immediateIy I was Iike, ''Oh, man.''

976
01:08:46,355 --> 01:08:48,016
I was Iike, ''No, this ain't it.''

977
01:08:48,224 --> 01:08:51,660
I know how it's gonna be when I die.
It's gonna be no noise.

978
01:08:51,861 --> 01:08:56,230
You ain't gonna hear peopIe
screaming. I'm gonna fade out.

979
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:00,732
And I didn't... None of that was there.

980
01:09:02,238 --> 01:09:06,641
I was Iike, ''I got shot five times.
I'm not dead. They missed. I'm back.''

981
01:09:08,644 --> 01:09:11,579
When Shakur resisted,
he was shot five times,

982
01:09:11,780 --> 01:09:14,578
twice in the head
and twice in the groin area.

983
01:09:14,783 --> 01:09:18,082
And his most serious wound,
a gunshot through the hand,

984
01:09:18,287 --> 01:09:20,187
hitting an artery in his thigh.

985
01:09:20,389 --> 01:09:23,552
He's listed in serious
but stable condition.

986
01:09:25,227 --> 01:09:30,255
UntiI it happened, I reaIIy did beIieve
no bIack person wouId ever shoot me.

987
01:09:30,566 --> 01:09:34,024
I beIieved that I didn't have to
fear my own community.

988
01:09:34,236 --> 01:09:37,000
You know, I was Iike,
''I represent them.

989
01:09:37,206 --> 01:09:40,698
''I'm their ambassador to the worId.
They wouId never do me wrong.''

990
01:09:40,910 --> 01:09:43,572
I beIieve that this was a robbery.

991
01:09:43,779 --> 01:09:47,408
Anybody who was gonna waIk into
that buiIding was gonna be robbed.

992
01:09:47,616 --> 01:09:50,847
The poIice don't wanna find out
who shot me. They're happy.

993
01:09:58,961 --> 01:10:01,930
As far as that Vibe interview,
just read everything over

994
01:10:02,131 --> 01:10:06,397
and read my repIy, read their repIy,
read what peopIe say.

995
01:10:07,636 --> 01:10:11,595
Everybody that was there
knows what happened.

996
01:10:15,444 --> 01:10:19,312
My recoIIection was, I was shooting
a video, the second haIf of Warning,

997
01:10:19,515 --> 01:10:23,417
which is the B-side of Big Poppa,
and I was shooting around the bIock.

998
01:10:23,619 --> 01:10:27,453
And I heard my man was up at the
studio doing a Junior M.A.F.I.A. session.

999
01:10:27,656 --> 01:10:31,490
So I got off at the reception area,
and I saw Andre and LittIe Shawn.

1000
01:10:31,727 --> 01:10:36,391
I said, ''What's up?'' about to get on
the eIevator, and he comes out shot.

1001
01:10:46,642 --> 01:10:50,009
The Tupac articIe had me pissed off,
you know what I'm saying?

1002
01:10:50,246 --> 01:10:53,238
Because first of aII,
he dissed my man,

1003
01:10:53,449 --> 01:10:59,115
saying he turned his back on him,
and I know for a fact it didn't happen.

1004
01:10:59,321 --> 01:11:02,779
And, Iike, the rumours that's spreading

1005
01:11:02,992 --> 01:11:06,723
is on some tip Iike we set him up.
And that's crazy.

1006
01:11:09,832 --> 01:11:13,165
As soon as he comes out shot,
me and my man try to sit him down.

1007
01:11:13,369 --> 01:11:16,702
He caIIed his mom. He asked
my man if he can roII him a bIunt.

1008
01:11:16,905 --> 01:11:22,241
We asked if he was aII right. He's Iike,
''Yeah, I don't know what's going on.''

1009
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:29,140
We were just trying to comfort him.
Andre HarreII caIIed the ambuIance.

1010
01:11:32,988 --> 01:11:35,183
And everybody there was
very supportive of him.

1011
01:11:38,794 --> 01:11:42,286
It was just the totaI opposite.
He came out and everyone ran to him.

1012
01:11:42,498 --> 01:11:44,193
It was nothing but Iove and concern.

1013
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:48,564
They got different accounts of it,
and I'm the one with the buIIet wounds.

1014
01:11:48,804 --> 01:11:52,137
I aIso understand that if you
was to get shot five times,

1015
01:11:52,341 --> 01:11:55,333
your mind is just
compIeteIy spinning.

1016
01:11:55,544 --> 01:11:57,808
You're reaI confused
about your situation.

1017
01:11:58,013 --> 01:11:59,981
It'II make you say things
you don't mean.

1018
01:12:00,182 --> 01:12:04,243
I was there for the whoIe thing. No one
eIse was there for the whoIe thing.

1019
01:12:04,453 --> 01:12:09,186
I don't know the purpose of why
the story was said in another context.

1020
01:12:09,391 --> 01:12:12,758
It's not important that others know
what happened. I said it.

1021
01:12:12,961 --> 01:12:16,192
Now that I said it, it's dead.
BeIieve me or not, I did what I had to.

1022
01:12:16,398 --> 01:12:17,729
God knows the truth.

1023
01:12:17,933 --> 01:12:21,494
There's no reIigion about getting shot.
I don't want any converts.

1024
01:12:25,441 --> 01:12:29,070
After getting shot, I was Iike,
''Shit, I don't know who to trust.''

1025
01:12:29,278 --> 01:12:31,405
ln a bizarre twist of events,

1026
01:12:31,613 --> 01:12:36,550
Tupac Shakur checked himself out of
Bellevue Hospital Wednesday night.

1027
01:12:36,752 --> 01:12:42,452
After surgery, Tupac checked himself
out of Bellevue against doctor's orders.

1028
01:12:42,658 --> 01:12:46,059
It was just time to Ieave.
I didn't feeI safe there.

1029
01:12:46,261 --> 01:12:48,525
I kept getting
these crazy phone caIIs.

1030
01:12:52,801 --> 01:12:55,929
At that point, I'm just paranoid,
just bugging out.

1031
01:12:56,138 --> 01:13:00,370
I couIdn't sIeep or rest. I was Iike,
''I'm just tired, and I wanna just...''

1032
01:13:01,777 --> 01:13:06,874
And I feIt Iike I'm Iike a victim, a target.

1033
01:13:07,783 --> 01:13:10,911
I couIdn't even sIeep at home.
PeopIe couId kiII me at home.

1034
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,953
And are the poIice gonna
come in and kiII me?

1035
01:13:14,156 --> 01:13:16,852
You know, is there secret poIice?

1036
01:13:17,693 --> 01:13:20,560
I was so deep into the weed
at that point.

1037
01:13:21,630 --> 01:13:25,726
And I was Iike,
''I'm petrified. I'm vuInerabIe.''

1038
01:13:26,702 --> 01:13:30,570
I feIt Iike just a prisoner
to my own fame.

1039
01:13:30,806 --> 01:13:33,240
That's why I wanted to die at that point.

1040
01:13:34,843 --> 01:13:38,574
I feIt Iike, ''If everybody's so worried,
why ain't nobody came to heIp?''

1041
01:13:41,817 --> 01:13:44,251
- Mr Shakur?
- Open up, pIease. Open up.

1042
01:13:44,453 --> 01:13:46,182
- Excuse me.
- Step back, pIease.

1043
01:13:46,422 --> 01:13:49,448
- Just keep it tight, that's aII.
- How are you this morning?

1044
01:13:49,658 --> 01:13:55,119
The jury deliberated, then, after days
of twists worthy of a Hollywood drama,

1045
01:13:55,330 --> 01:13:58,197
Tupac Shakur has finally had
one question answered.

1046
01:13:58,434 --> 01:14:01,767
Tonight, the jury found him guilty
of three counts of sexual abuse,

1047
01:14:01,970 --> 01:14:05,462
but innocent on six other charges,
including sodomy.

1048
01:14:07,509 --> 01:14:10,137
PIease, give me some space.
PIease, man.

1049
01:14:10,345 --> 01:14:12,472
Why did you decide
to Ieave the hospitaI?

1050
01:14:12,681 --> 01:14:16,481
PIease, y'aII are not Ietting me get
through, man. Let me get through!

1051
01:14:16,685 --> 01:14:18,550
- Back it up.
- Why did you Ieave?

1052
01:14:18,754 --> 01:14:22,485
And sentencing for this trial
has yet to be scheduled.

1053
01:14:34,837 --> 01:14:39,570
Where I was sent was
a maximum-security penitentiary.

1054
01:14:48,417 --> 01:14:52,183
I know when I was young,
I couIdn't wait to get to jaiI, straight up.

1055
01:14:52,387 --> 01:14:57,017
I mean, I was scared and everything,
but I feIt that's part of being a man.

1056
01:15:01,096 --> 01:15:03,496
Now that I'm here,
this is not the spot.

1057
01:15:03,699 --> 01:15:08,363
I know everybody that comes out says,
''This ain't the spot.'' This isn't the spot.

1058
01:15:08,570 --> 01:15:12,870
Somebody teIIs you when to get up,
when you can shower, do this, do that.

1059
01:15:13,075 --> 01:15:16,841
They can speak to you any way they
want to, and you've gotta accept it.

1060
01:15:19,047 --> 01:15:22,574
You can die here, know what I mean?
Yesterday, a dude was murdered.

1061
01:15:22,784 --> 01:15:25,912
He wasn't in here on no murder beef.
He was in on a drug beef.

1062
01:15:26,121 --> 01:15:29,784
He's gone. He's dead in jaiI,
you know what I mean?

1063
01:15:30,025 --> 01:15:32,050
By another prisoner who had Iife.

1064
01:15:32,261 --> 01:15:34,889
He had nothing to Iose,
you know what I mean?

1065
01:15:35,097 --> 01:15:39,431
I came to jaiI. I'm teIIing you, it's dirty.
It's fiIthy. It's Iike you're an animaI.

1066
01:15:42,471 --> 01:15:44,462
At first, me and the guards
had probIems.

1067
01:15:44,673 --> 01:15:47,233
I got smacked and treated bad.

1068
01:15:47,442 --> 01:15:52,744
They did whatever they couId to break
me because I used to taIk a Iot of shit.

1069
01:15:52,948 --> 01:15:56,543
As soon as I got there, they went,
''There he goes, the rich nigger.''

1070
01:15:56,752 --> 01:16:01,917
I was Iike, ''Oh, shit, he said nigger!''
Everybody's Iooking at me Iike, ''So?''

1071
01:16:02,124 --> 01:16:05,651
And I was Iike, ''My God, this is where
I'm gonna be staying?''

1072
01:16:05,861 --> 01:16:07,419
He just said ''nigger''!

1073
01:16:07,629 --> 01:16:09,790
You've got ''niggas''
in one of your records.

1074
01:16:09,998 --> 01:16:13,058
''Nigg-as''. He's taIking about ''nigg-ers''.

1075
01:16:13,268 --> 01:16:16,829
''Nigg-ers'' was the ones on the rope,
hanging off the thing.

1076
01:16:17,072 --> 01:16:20,735
''Nigg-as'' is the ones with goId ropes,
hanging out at cIubs.

1077
01:16:26,682 --> 01:16:30,516
I Iearned things there. In jaiI, it's Iike
how we shouId be in Iife, humbIe.

1078
01:16:30,719 --> 01:16:34,450
I was taIking to skinheads,
'cause if you don't Iike bIack peopIe,

1079
01:16:34,656 --> 01:16:37,124
aII right, that's fine.
That's your opinion.

1080
01:16:37,326 --> 01:16:41,194
I want peopIe to respect my opinion
when I'm rapping, so I'II respect yours.

1081
01:16:41,396 --> 01:16:45,526
You treat me with respect, I'II treat you
with respect, and we'II get aIong.

1082
01:16:45,734 --> 01:16:49,329
This skinhead, ''hate bIack peopIe'' aII
over, getting autographs for cousins.

1083
01:16:49,538 --> 01:16:51,028
I accompIished something.

1084
01:16:51,239 --> 01:16:55,198
I know, by him getting my autograph,
that meant something to me.

1085
01:16:55,410 --> 01:16:58,641
He couIdn't hate bIack peopIe
and get my autograph.

1086
01:17:00,849 --> 01:17:03,875
- The food was terribIe, I guess.
- Oh, my goodness.

1087
01:17:04,119 --> 01:17:06,019
They've got this Iiver surprise thing.

1088
01:17:06,221 --> 01:17:09,384
The Iiver surprise. They're trying
to pump that on the jaiI menu.

1089
01:17:09,625 --> 01:17:13,527
They're trying to get it to go prime-time,
get it in the rotation.

1090
01:17:13,729 --> 01:17:17,187
I was Iike, ''We had this yesterday.
I Iiked it aIready, goddamn.''

1091
01:17:17,399 --> 01:17:20,527
- No Tater Tots?
- No. Are you crazy? Tater Tots?

1092
01:17:20,736 --> 01:17:25,002
I used to get baked potatoes
with a huge finger imprint on it.

1093
01:17:26,274 --> 01:17:27,639
- AII right.
- It was bad.

1094
01:17:27,843 --> 01:17:32,371
No, you don't wanna get me started.
JeII-O with hair aII in the mouId.

1095
01:17:32,581 --> 01:17:35,812
I'd be Iike, ''Damn, man,
how are you gonna mess up JeII-O?''

1096
01:17:36,018 --> 01:17:39,715
JeII-O is so whoIesome and famiIy-Iike.
It just ruins it for me.

1097
01:17:39,921 --> 01:17:41,513
To have a hair in there, yeah.

1098
01:17:41,723 --> 01:17:45,853
I mean, I'm Iike, ''Come on,
BiII Cosby pumps this, man!''

1099
01:17:46,895 --> 01:17:49,227
Put the hair in my JeII-O.

1100
01:17:50,465 --> 01:17:54,697
And you can't go, ''There's a hair in
my JeII-O. I'd Iike to send this back.

1101
01:17:54,903 --> 01:17:56,530
''Can I see the cook, pIease?''

1102
01:17:56,738 --> 01:17:58,729
The cook is a big dude
named Bubba Joe.

1103
01:18:00,676 --> 01:18:05,545
The first eight months I spent in
soIitude 23 hours a day, reading.

1104
01:18:05,747 --> 01:18:07,715
I wrote a script caIIed Live 2 Tell.

1105
01:18:07,916 --> 01:18:11,682
I got How to Write a Screenplay,
that big famous book by Syd FieId.

1106
01:18:11,887 --> 01:18:16,551
I got that, and I remembered aII of the
scripts I ever read, and I wrote one.

1107
01:18:16,758 --> 01:18:18,282
I read a Iot of good books.

1108
01:18:18,493 --> 01:18:22,953
I read a Iot of Maya AngeIou's books.
The Art of War by Sun-tzu.

1109
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,367
But in terms of writing music
and Iyrics, I couIdn't do it.

1110
01:18:28,570 --> 01:18:32,233
Everybody's Iike, ''He's in jaiI now.
He's gonna have the bomb aIbum.''

1111
01:18:32,441 --> 01:18:33,772
But it's the opposite.

1112
01:18:33,975 --> 01:18:37,308
Prison kiIIs your spirit, straight up.
It kiIIs your spirit.

1113
01:18:37,512 --> 01:18:42,575
I couIdn't write. My inspiration was
gone because I was a caged animaI.

1114
01:18:44,286 --> 01:18:47,585
But when I was in jaiI,
a Iot of peopIe supported me.

1115
01:18:47,789 --> 01:18:50,917
Jasmine Guy, Jada Pinkett,

1116
01:18:51,126 --> 01:18:53,492
Mickey Rourke,
he just wrote me funny stories.

1117
01:18:53,729 --> 01:18:58,257
The name that sticks out the most,
I'II keep saying this, is Tony Danza.

1118
01:18:59,501 --> 01:19:00,991
To me, he is the bomb for ever.

1119
01:19:01,236 --> 01:19:03,796
I wiII be his number one fan for ever,

1120
01:19:04,005 --> 01:19:06,599
because when I got his Ietter,
I was Iike, ''Whoa!''

1121
01:19:06,808 --> 01:19:09,606
I was screaming out to everybody,
''Guess who wrote me!''

1122
01:19:11,346 --> 01:19:15,510
They had a story on the IocaI news
that Madonna was coming to visit me.

1123
01:19:15,751 --> 01:19:19,278
Madonna has so much power that
the guards gave me an extra shower

1124
01:19:19,488 --> 01:19:22,286
because they thought
she was coming to visit me.

1125
01:19:22,491 --> 01:19:26,188
I had guards waIking me downstairs,
everything, trying to peep a Iook.

1126
01:19:26,394 --> 01:19:28,191
- Did she come?
- No. No, I'm gIad.

1127
01:19:28,396 --> 01:19:30,921
- But you got the extra shower?
- Hey, I got the shower.

1128
01:19:34,336 --> 01:19:38,272
The person that supported me
the most was my mother.

1129
01:19:39,174 --> 01:19:42,769
When my mother got cIean,
we got reaI cIose again.

1130
01:19:55,190 --> 01:19:57,681
I don't bIame her for anything.

1131
01:19:57,893 --> 01:20:02,830
My mom's the bomb, you know.
The worId's best mom.

1132
01:20:12,374 --> 01:20:14,740
Dear Mama is the song
I wrote for my mother.

1133
01:20:14,943 --> 01:20:16,638
But it's aIso for aII the mothers.

1134
01:20:16,845 --> 01:20:19,177
I'm proud of that.
It affected a Iot of peopIe.

1135
01:20:20,215 --> 01:20:21,842
It was from Me Against the World,

1136
01:20:22,050 --> 01:20:24,883
which was compIeted
before I went to jaiI.

1137
01:20:32,060 --> 01:20:33,493
It was the number one record.

1138
01:20:33,695 --> 01:20:38,655
Me Against the World was
one of those... My career highs.

1139
01:20:39,568 --> 01:20:41,058
It was a trip in jaiI.

1140
01:20:41,269 --> 01:20:45,763
They'd say stuff Iike, ''You're in jaiI.
Won't be any rapping for a Iong time.''

1141
01:20:45,974 --> 01:20:48,772
I'd be Iike, ''My aIbum is
number one in the country.

1142
01:20:48,977 --> 01:20:50,569
''It just beat Bruce Springsteen.''

1143
01:20:50,779 --> 01:20:53,373
And they'd be Iike,
''Go back to your ceII.''

1144
01:20:54,616 --> 01:20:58,017
I used to get Entertainment Weekly
and see where my record was

1145
01:20:58,220 --> 01:21:01,712
and just trip out and be Iike,
''Number one in the whoIe country.''

1146
01:21:01,923 --> 01:21:07,452
To me, it wiII aIways be my favourite,
and jaiI made me wanna dig deeper.

1147
01:21:19,608 --> 01:21:22,873
It took five buIIets for me to see
what was reaIIy going on.

1148
01:21:23,078 --> 01:21:27,037
In jaiI, you get perspective, and you
start Iooking at things differentIy,

1149
01:21:27,249 --> 01:21:29,581
Iike everything is not so important.

1150
01:21:29,784 --> 01:21:32,378
You know, you try not
to take it personaI.

1151
01:21:32,587 --> 01:21:34,452
Because you're taIking to kiIIers.

1152
01:21:34,656 --> 01:21:37,784
They say something you don't Iike,
you can't say, ''What?''

1153
01:21:37,993 --> 01:21:42,293
You gotta be Iike, ''OK, Iook man,
wouId you mind not caIIing me...?''

1154
01:21:42,497 --> 01:21:45,295
Anger management Iike a mother.

1155
01:21:47,969 --> 01:21:51,132
In jaiI, I tried not to have
negative feeIings towards nobody.

1156
01:21:51,339 --> 01:21:55,241
It's not Iike I wanted to get out
and go shoot somebody up.

1157
01:21:55,443 --> 01:22:00,107
PeopIe said, ''You softened up.''
Ain't nothing soft. Nothing changed.

1158
01:22:02,050 --> 01:22:05,315
If anything, my mentaIity was Iike,
''Trust nobody.

1159
01:22:05,954 --> 01:22:09,117
''Trust nobody.''

1160
01:22:11,660 --> 01:22:16,290
It's not Iike I'm untouchabIe.
I couId be kiIIed as soon as I get out.

1161
01:22:16,498 --> 01:22:18,796
I just thought,
''I aIready took five buIIets,

1162
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,366
''and if I can heIp it,
I don't pIan on taking more.''

1163
01:22:24,873 --> 01:22:28,866
Rapper, actor and convict, Tupac
Shakur, waIked out of jaiI Iast week,

1164
01:22:29,077 --> 01:22:33,104
baiIed out to the tune of $1 .4 miIIion by
Suge Knight of Death Row Records,

1165
01:22:33,315 --> 01:22:34,805
which signed Shakur to a deaI.

1166
01:22:35,016 --> 01:22:38,349
My cIosest friends did me in.
My cIosest friends, my homeys.

1167
01:22:38,553 --> 01:22:41,545
I took care of their whoIe famiIy,
took care of everything,

1168
01:22:41,756 --> 01:22:45,522
Iooked out for them, put them
in the game, turned on me.

1169
01:22:47,495 --> 01:22:51,363
So I just thought, ''How couId I make
them sorry they ever did this to me?

1170
01:22:51,566 --> 01:22:56,003
''How can I come back, Iike,
50 times stronger and better?''

1171
01:23:00,976 --> 01:23:04,673
Fear is stronger than Iove. Remember
that. Fear is stronger than Iove.

1172
01:23:04,879 --> 01:23:08,508
The Iove I gave meant nothing
when it came to fear.

1173
01:23:08,717 --> 01:23:11,345
No question, sign with Death Row.

1174
01:23:21,730 --> 01:23:23,857
SuddenIy, I was out on baiI,
pending appeaI.

1175
01:23:24,065 --> 01:23:27,159
If I win my appeaI, which,
if God wiIIs, I wiII,

1176
01:23:27,369 --> 01:23:29,860
I wouId've done 1 1 months
for nothing.

1177
01:23:39,114 --> 01:23:43,175
You see that, judge? I didn't curse.
Probation peopIe, I didn't curse.

1178
01:23:43,385 --> 01:23:45,285
Give me my props. Let me stay free.

1179
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:47,545
I was reIieved, happy to be home.

1180
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,092
I wanted to drive up
and down Sunset

1181
01:23:54,295 --> 01:23:59,130
because I Iove L.A. with a passion.
I Iove Sunset, everything about L.A.

1182
01:23:59,334 --> 01:24:02,633
Can I get tatted up reaI quick?
I want a crown here.

1183
01:24:02,837 --> 01:24:04,634
You know, the energy, that's L.A.

1184
01:24:04,839 --> 01:24:06,466
- HeIIo?
- I'm saying,

1185
01:24:06,674 --> 01:24:10,610
we on Venice Beach. It's what you do.
I've been in jaiI 1 1 months, Tabitha.

1186
01:24:10,812 --> 01:24:13,076
You're supposed to put ''I Iove you''.

1187
01:24:13,281 --> 01:24:15,772
You got to Iet me get a Iook
or something.

1188
01:24:15,984 --> 01:24:18,578
It's a trip when Iast week
you were in a ceII,

1189
01:24:18,787 --> 01:24:22,245
and then, next week, I'm up at Monty's
with CristaI champagne

1190
01:24:22,457 --> 01:24:25,654
and fiIet mignon and Iobster
and shrimps.

1191
01:24:27,062 --> 01:24:32,329
Everybody went, ''Let me take you out.
You're home? Let me take you to this!''

1192
01:24:32,567 --> 01:24:36,469
We was aII up in Roscoe's.
I even ceIebrated at EI PoIIo Loco,

1193
01:24:36,671 --> 01:24:39,902
because I was dreaming about
EI PoIIo Loco the whoIe time.

1194
01:24:42,110 --> 01:24:43,941
Then I went straight to the studio.

1195
01:24:46,014 --> 01:24:48,812
And I did 24 tracks
in Iess than two weeks.

1196
01:24:49,017 --> 01:24:52,453
You can mix it Iater and have niggas
that Iove being in the studio

1197
01:24:52,654 --> 01:24:57,091
just add the drumbeat and shit.
You can do that after the rappers Ieave.

1198
01:24:57,292 --> 01:24:58,623
That's when it's fresh.

1199
01:24:58,827 --> 01:25:02,319
Get that beat popping, throw them
niggas on the track, put it down.

1200
01:25:02,530 --> 01:25:05,158
Everybody wiII Iisten, be Iike,
''This is the hook.''

1201
01:25:05,366 --> 01:25:07,357
We'II go Iay the hook.
That's the song.

1202
01:25:07,602 --> 01:25:11,094
PIus, I had so much to say,
I figured this was the best way to vent,

1203
01:25:11,306 --> 01:25:14,275
instead of paying some
psychotherapist $50 miIIion.

1204
01:25:14,476 --> 01:25:16,501
I went in the studio. It was cheaper.

1205
01:25:16,711 --> 01:25:19,771
Here we go! CaIifornia, get up!

1206
01:25:45,340 --> 01:25:49,208
You gotta reaIise one thing:
Tupac is Death Row.

1207
01:25:49,410 --> 01:25:52,709
I feeI I have more than just
a business reIationship with him.

1208
01:25:52,914 --> 01:25:54,745
He can be Iike a brother, a friend.

1209
01:25:54,949 --> 01:25:59,181
I Iike everyone on the record company.
I Iike Suge, Snoop and Dre.

1210
01:25:59,387 --> 01:26:01,651
I hang out with them anyway,
now it's officiaI.

1211
01:26:01,856 --> 01:26:05,019
This is Tupac and Dr. Dre,
and this is the Week in Rock!

1212
01:26:05,660 --> 01:26:08,527
- Week in Rock, baby!
- Week in Rock, baby!

1213
01:26:08,730 --> 01:26:12,427
I came out, I was Iike,
''Dre, I want some beats right now.''

1214
01:26:12,667 --> 01:26:15,033
He's Iike, ''I'm working on
California Love.''

1215
01:26:15,236 --> 01:26:17,204
I said, ''You know you owe me this.

1216
01:26:17,405 --> 01:26:19,999
''I'm new on Death Row,
fresh out of jaiI.

1217
01:26:20,208 --> 01:26:22,438
''You ain't gonna be finishing
your aIbum soon.''

1218
01:26:22,677 --> 01:26:26,704
I Iove coIIaborating with creative peopIe
that's as taIented as 'Pac.

1219
01:26:26,915 --> 01:26:30,214
He got right in and wrote his Iyrics
whiIe he was behind the mike

1220
01:26:30,418 --> 01:26:31,885
and dropped it, and it's funky.

1221
01:26:37,759 --> 01:26:41,024
Me coming to Death Row,
for another reason was Snoop.

1222
01:26:41,229 --> 01:26:43,390
Please welcome
America's Most Wanted,

1223
01:26:43,598 --> 01:26:46,362
Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac.

1224
01:26:46,568 --> 01:26:48,433
The man got so much styIe.

1225
01:26:48,636 --> 01:26:52,697
Ya'II know we down with this
rock thing, nine-six fIavour Death Row.

1226
01:26:52,907 --> 01:26:55,273
But who knew it wouId Iast,
this West Side styIe?

1227
01:26:55,476 --> 01:27:00,209
Yep, yep, yep. This is me and Snoop,
2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,

1228
01:27:00,415 --> 01:27:02,713
the bomb track. It's the first singIe.

1229
01:27:02,917 --> 01:27:05,579
It's gonna be Iike the anthem
of West Coast rap.

1230
01:27:05,787 --> 01:27:09,746
This is gonna shake the whoIe
music scene, guaranteed.

1231
01:27:44,125 --> 01:27:47,492
Me and Snoop represent the nucIeus
of the entire ghetto.

1232
01:27:47,695 --> 01:27:50,823
Snoop represents the more caIm,
aII Iegit, by the book,

1233
01:27:51,032 --> 01:27:53,193
no waves,
Iet's get our business handIed.

1234
01:28:08,016 --> 01:28:12,885
I represent the hard-core, no-hoIds-
barred, no-prisoners, reIentIess thug.

1235
01:28:22,897 --> 01:28:25,866
We both represent
both sides of the game.

1236
01:28:26,067 --> 01:28:29,662
The caIm one and the reIentIess one.

1237
01:28:32,740 --> 01:28:34,731
Here's my commerciaI for Death Row.

1238
01:28:34,942 --> 01:28:38,173
If you come to Death Row,
you wiII see

1239
01:28:38,379 --> 01:28:43,078
your art brought to a bigger pIateau,
and you wiII be paid one of these days.

1240
01:28:43,318 --> 01:28:45,684
Death Row. Count with me.
Count with me.

1241
01:28:45,887 --> 01:28:47,514
This is for my homeboys in jaiI.

1242
01:28:47,722 --> 01:28:50,520
These are 1 00s.
And they ain't counterfeit.

1243
01:28:50,858 --> 01:28:54,089
If I said it was the money,
the struggIe continues.

1244
01:28:54,329 --> 01:28:58,026
I got money, but I have to pay
everybody even more money.

1245
01:28:58,232 --> 01:29:00,325
I owe money to Death Row.

1246
01:29:00,535 --> 01:29:05,234
So it's not just, ''Oh, he's paid.
He's Iiving Iarge.'' It's not Iike that.

1247
01:29:08,609 --> 01:29:11,737
PeopIe wanna sue you,
and I have to settIe for this and that

1248
01:29:11,979 --> 01:29:15,107
when I know I didn't do anything,
just because it's Iike,

1249
01:29:15,350 --> 01:29:19,514
''I don't wanna go to court another
eight months.'' Makes you work harder.

1250
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:27,851
Next year, Death Row is gonna
print our own money.

1251
01:29:28,062 --> 01:29:30,895
We make so much,
we need to start printing our own.

1252
01:29:31,099 --> 01:29:33,932
It's gonna be me and Suge
on the $1 00 biII.

1253
01:29:34,135 --> 01:29:36,968
Me, Suge and Damu gonna be
on the $1 00 biII.

1254
01:29:37,171 --> 01:29:38,570
I feIt ''I'm getting pimped.''

1255
01:29:38,773 --> 01:29:41,207
This is the $1 00 biII
on Death Row money, here.

1256
01:29:42,143 --> 01:29:45,704
But you have to come up, start from
the bottom and work up to the top.

1257
01:29:46,214 --> 01:29:49,377
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome acclaimed rap artist

1258
01:29:49,584 --> 01:29:51,449
and Grammy nominee, Tupac.

1259
01:29:57,158 --> 01:30:00,127
PeopIe faiI to reaIise
this is not just pIay. I work.

1260
01:30:00,328 --> 01:30:02,660
Run! Scatter, scatter!

1261
01:30:03,164 --> 01:30:06,065
Drag K off the stage.
Y'aII come on, man.

1262
01:30:06,801 --> 01:30:08,564
Do it for reaI, man. One, two, three.

1263
01:30:09,637 --> 01:30:12,731
When it's time to get down
and do my business, I'm going to.

1264
01:30:12,940 --> 01:30:15,101
I can't get no bIood on the set?

1265
01:30:15,309 --> 01:30:16,776
Shit.

1266
01:30:21,282 --> 01:30:25,150
I beIieve I'm more responsibIe,
more mature and more focused.

1267
01:30:42,837 --> 01:30:45,863
When I was in jaiI, I couIdn't
remember why I was rapping.

1268
01:30:46,073 --> 01:30:50,442
But I was away from it so Iong, I said,
''I reaIIy Iike going to the studio.

1269
01:30:50,645 --> 01:30:51,976
''I reaIIy Iike creating.''

1270
01:30:57,351 --> 01:30:59,819
I Iike music, and I Iike acting.
I Iike doing it.

1271
01:31:00,021 --> 01:31:05,288
She's a super freak, super freak
She's super-freaky

1272
01:31:08,496 --> 01:31:11,363
I can be me. I can be whoever
because I'm true to me.

1273
01:31:11,566 --> 01:31:13,397
The reason I seII six miIIion records,

1274
01:31:13,601 --> 01:31:17,002
the reason I can go to jaiI
and come out without a scratch,

1275
01:31:17,839 --> 01:31:22,503
the reason I am who I am is because
I can Iook into my face and find my souI.

1276
01:31:22,710 --> 01:31:24,234
It's there. I didn't seII it.

1277
01:31:36,224 --> 01:31:39,091
I thought, ''I'm a superpower.
Death Row is a superpower.

1278
01:31:39,293 --> 01:31:41,454
''Let's combine superpowers and aIIy.''

1279
01:31:46,901 --> 01:31:50,860
Damu! My dog's going crazy,
ready to kiII a few peopIe.

1280
01:31:51,072 --> 01:31:53,063
- Yeah. Yeah.
- He wanna kiII.

1281
01:31:53,274 --> 01:31:54,866
I Iove my artists.

1282
01:31:55,076 --> 01:31:58,375
I don't consider my peopIe artists.
I consider them famiIy.

1283
01:31:58,579 --> 01:32:02,515
It's just a big difference, if they
decided to turn in rapping or singing,

1284
01:32:02,717 --> 01:32:05,242
they'd stiII be my homeboys.
We'd stiII traveI together.

1285
01:32:05,453 --> 01:32:08,581
If they needed something,
what's mine wiII stiII be theirs.

1286
01:32:08,789 --> 01:32:12,281
It's no situation where I'm deaIing
with them strictIy for business,

1287
01:32:12,527 --> 01:32:14,461
because they're good.
It's not Iike that.

1288
01:32:14,662 --> 01:32:17,563
You've gotta have more respect
for your peopIe.

1289
01:32:17,765 --> 01:32:19,892
PIus we've got a Death Row East
going on.

1290
01:32:20,101 --> 01:32:22,934
- I'm sure you heard about that.
- TeII me about that.

1291
01:32:23,137 --> 01:32:26,595
HoId on. Damu! Damu, sit!

1292
01:32:38,486 --> 01:32:44,049
But Death Row has a reputation
for having a thug-Iike mentaIity.

1293
01:32:44,258 --> 01:32:45,919
Won't that get you in troubIe?

1294
01:32:46,127 --> 01:32:49,790
Death Row has a bigger reputation
for success than anything eIse.

1295
01:32:49,997 --> 01:32:53,489
The reason for all of the fear
involves the world of this man,

1296
01:32:53,701 --> 01:32:55,760
the man getting out of the limousine.

1297
01:32:55,970 --> 01:33:00,430
Six-foot-three, 335-pound
Marion Knight,

1298
01:33:00,641 --> 01:33:03,838
known by the nickname of ''Suge'',
short for ''Sugar''.

1299
01:33:04,078 --> 01:33:06,774
It's an efficient camp over here,

1300
01:33:07,648 --> 01:33:10,640
professionaI, business-oriented.
I Iike that.

1301
01:33:10,851 --> 01:33:14,810
At the age of only 30,
and with a lengthy criminal record,

1302
01:33:15,022 --> 01:33:17,320
including three felony convictions,

1303
01:33:17,525 --> 01:33:19,789
Suge Knight has managed
to become the head

1304
01:33:19,994 --> 01:33:22,360
of a $ 1 00 million record company

1305
01:33:22,597 --> 01:33:27,261
and one of the most powerful
and feared men in the music industry.

1306
01:33:27,468 --> 01:33:30,960
The controversy
over Death Row Records

1307
01:33:31,172 --> 01:33:35,268
and its owner
being sort of a gangster.

1308
01:33:35,476 --> 01:33:37,376
Everybody's asking about Death Row.

1309
01:33:38,646 --> 01:33:40,705
- Suge ain't no gangsta. He's chiIIing.
- No?

1310
01:33:40,915 --> 01:33:42,974
No, man, Suge a rider.

1311
01:33:43,184 --> 01:33:46,483
I know what good moraIs are,
but you're supposed to disregard

1312
01:33:46,687 --> 01:33:49,520
good moraIs when you're
Iiving in a crazy, bad worId.

1313
01:33:49,724 --> 01:33:51,715
If you're in heII,
how can you Iive Iike an angeI?

1314
01:33:51,926 --> 01:33:54,486
You're surrounded by deviIs,
trying to be an angeI?

1315
01:33:54,695 --> 01:33:57,220
That's Iike suicide.

1316
01:33:57,732 --> 01:34:00,667
I'd Iike to teII Tupac to keep
his guards up. We're with him.

1317
01:34:00,868 --> 01:34:02,733
One other thing I'd Iike to say,

1318
01:34:02,937 --> 01:34:05,201
any artist out there
that want to be an artist

1319
01:34:05,406 --> 01:34:08,068
and wants to stay a star
and don't wanna have to worry

1320
01:34:08,275 --> 01:34:12,211
about the executive producer
trying to be aII in the videos,

1321
01:34:12,413 --> 01:34:17,373
aII on the records, dancing,
come to Death Row.

1322
01:34:18,452 --> 01:34:21,979
When I got out of jaiI, the West Coast-
East Coast shit was reaIIy starting.

1323
01:34:22,189 --> 01:34:25,852
Wait, the East Coast don't Iove
Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg?

1324
01:34:27,061 --> 01:34:29,029
The East Coast
ain't got no Iove for Dr. Dre

1325
01:34:29,230 --> 01:34:31,528
and Snoop Dogg and Death Row?

1326
01:34:31,732 --> 01:34:35,429
West Coast was Death Row.
The East Coast was Bad Boy.

1327
01:34:35,670 --> 01:34:37,001
Check this out.

1328
01:34:37,204 --> 01:34:41,038
I'm the executive producer that
a comment was made about earIier.

1329
01:34:41,242 --> 01:34:46,509
Everybody thought it was a war,
a war for record saIes and attention.

1330
01:34:49,216 --> 01:34:50,945
But to me it was personaI.

1331
01:34:52,219 --> 01:34:54,380
I Iove the East Coast.
I'm from the East Coast.

1332
01:34:54,588 --> 01:34:58,922
But I feIt Iike Puffy and Biggie wanted
to dirty up everything I worked for.

1333
01:34:59,126 --> 01:35:01,185
So it made me come back
more reIentIess.

1334
01:35:01,395 --> 01:35:03,886
I'm mad at Biggie, I'm rushing
the nigga. What's the probIem?

1335
01:35:04,098 --> 01:35:06,862
Yo, Piggie, man,
we got it going on, baby.

1336
01:35:07,068 --> 01:35:10,936
lt's on and cracking, man.
He's gone, baby. You the man.

1337
01:35:11,138 --> 01:35:12,696
So I directed videos.

1338
01:35:12,907 --> 01:35:17,310
'Pac, you alive? l mean, you safe?
Man, l'm so happy you're free.

1339
01:35:18,579 --> 01:35:22,538
Yeah? Happy to see you,
lying piece of shit.

1340
01:35:22,750 --> 01:35:25,480
'Pac, please don't kill me.
lt was Buff's idea.

1341
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:27,051
- No, man.
- l'm just a rapper.

1342
01:35:27,254 --> 01:35:30,223
Please don't take me out of the game.

1343
01:35:30,424 --> 01:35:33,655
l ain't going to kill you.
We was homeboys once, Pig.

1344
01:35:33,861 --> 01:35:36,455
Once we homeboys,
we always homeboys,

1345
01:35:36,664 --> 01:35:38,564
even if you is a fat phony.

1346
01:35:38,766 --> 01:35:41,599
And I did a song
with Faith, Biggie's wife.

1347
01:35:41,802 --> 01:35:45,966
Faith's my homegirI. I just want
to send a shout-out to Faith. Hey, girI.

1348
01:35:46,173 --> 01:35:48,164
Then I did Hit 'Em Up.

1349
01:35:52,012 --> 01:35:54,105
Which is a cIassic battIe record.

1350
01:36:35,356 --> 01:36:38,052
Everything happened
so fast at that point.

1351
01:36:39,293 --> 01:36:41,727
I was Iooking at things,
the East Coast-West Coast thing,

1352
01:36:41,929 --> 01:36:43,453
it just got out of controI.

1353
01:36:43,664 --> 01:36:46,690
Dudes was getting kiIIed,
and I feIt responsibIe.

1354
01:36:46,901 --> 01:36:48,368
But I couIdn't stop it.

1355
01:36:48,569 --> 01:36:51,538
We ain't mad at the whoIe New York,
just certain peopIe.

1356
01:36:51,739 --> 01:36:55,675
I got this project coming out aIong with
some brothers caIIed One Nation.

1357
01:36:55,876 --> 01:36:58,344
It's Iike an East Coast-West Coast
coIIaboration

1358
01:36:58,546 --> 01:37:00,537
to kiII this whoIe new vibe.

1359
01:37:00,748 --> 01:37:02,375
Everybody want it to be a war

1360
01:37:02,583 --> 01:37:04,346
between the East Coast
and West Coast.

1361
01:37:04,552 --> 01:37:06,349
It's reaIIy a probIem
with two rappers.

1362
01:37:06,554 --> 01:37:08,988
The East Coast-West Coast thing
is something journaIists

1363
01:37:09,190 --> 01:37:11,818
are making up to get paid off,
so it can drag out

1364
01:37:12,026 --> 01:37:15,427
and everybody can have aIbums. They
perpetuate this, so it can be drama.

1365
01:37:15,629 --> 01:37:18,029
When it go down,
don't Iook at me and Biggie

1366
01:37:18,232 --> 01:37:20,393
and be Iike,
''Why is there a big war?'',

1367
01:37:20,601 --> 01:37:24,332
when you're shooting this
to 3,300 homes, 300 countries,

1368
01:37:24,538 --> 01:37:27,439
teIIing them about a war
that they wouId never know exists.

1369
01:37:27,641 --> 01:37:29,666
That's where information
becomes a probIem.

1370
01:37:29,877 --> 01:37:33,040
We both need
to exercise greater restraint.

1371
01:37:33,914 --> 01:37:38,851
Damn, sometimes Iife gets
messed up.

1372
01:37:44,658 --> 01:37:49,288
When I was on Death Row,
I was successfuI but not happy.

1373
01:37:49,496 --> 01:37:52,897
Tupac, your Iife has been marred
by considerabIe pain.

1374
01:37:53,100 --> 01:37:57,264
Do you think you'II get to the point
where you can Iive a normaI Iife?

1375
01:37:57,471 --> 01:38:01,407
No. But, I...

1376
01:38:01,609 --> 01:38:04,806
I'm going for it. I'm trying for it,
and untiI then

1377
01:38:05,012 --> 01:38:08,277
I have to make the Iife that I do Iive
as happy as I can

1378
01:38:08,482 --> 01:38:11,417
and try to do the best
with what I have.

1379
01:38:11,619 --> 01:38:14,816
Live the best Iife I can Iive,
be as happy as I can be.

1380
01:38:15,022 --> 01:38:19,083
Nothing is perfect for anybody,
I don't think.

1381
01:38:19,293 --> 01:38:21,887
I feIt trapped.

1382
01:38:22,429 --> 01:38:24,420
They say, ''You made your bed,
Iay in it.''

1383
01:38:24,632 --> 01:38:27,100
I tried to move.
I can't move to no other bed.

1384
01:38:27,301 --> 01:38:29,963
I feIt I can't Iive a different IifestyIe.

1385
01:38:30,170 --> 01:38:32,730
This the Iife they gave me,
this the Iife I made.

1386
01:38:32,940 --> 01:38:36,307
I feIt I can't change, not for the courts,
not for the paroIe board,

1387
01:38:36,510 --> 01:38:38,671
not for nobody. This is it.

1388
01:38:38,913 --> 01:38:43,077
I aIso feIt Iike something was gonna
happen to me because I'm paranoid.

1389
01:38:43,284 --> 01:38:45,275
And I put it in my videos.

1390
01:38:51,191 --> 01:38:54,160
That nigga ain't want none.
l been drinking. Where he at?

1391
01:38:54,361 --> 01:38:56,022
No, no, no, where he at?

1392
01:38:58,332 --> 01:38:59,765
Yo, watch out.

1393
01:39:04,371 --> 01:39:06,134
lt was a prophecy.

1394
01:39:15,182 --> 01:39:17,673
I had a prophecy about my death.

1395
01:39:17,885 --> 01:39:22,982
That's why I go in the studio and do
three songs a day, get things ready.

1396
01:39:23,524 --> 01:39:25,287
We don't have time or the Iuxury

1397
01:39:25,492 --> 01:39:28,791
to spend aII of this time
doing one song. We don't have it.

1398
01:39:28,996 --> 01:39:30,554
If I die, it can happen.

1399
01:39:30,764 --> 01:39:33,961
If anything were to happen to me,
that aIbum's ready to go.

1400
01:39:35,035 --> 01:39:36,662
So it's aII good.

1401
01:39:36,870 --> 01:39:39,532
I feIt as if the onIy thing
that can kiII me is death,

1402
01:39:39,740 --> 01:39:42,675
and even then my music
wiII Iive for ever.

1403
01:40:39,666 --> 01:40:43,432
At approximately 9.00 p.m.,
security cameras at the MGM Grand

1404
01:40:43,637 --> 01:40:47,232
captured Tupac, Suge Knight and
members of the Death Row entourage

1405
01:40:47,441 --> 01:40:50,308
beating an alleged South Side Crip,
Orlando Anderson.

1406
01:40:50,544 --> 01:40:54,241
Tupac, Suge and others jumped
Anderson, punching and kicking him.

1407
01:40:54,448 --> 01:40:57,906
Terrified bystanders scattered
as the group streamed into the casino,

1408
01:40:58,118 --> 01:40:59,813
then out into the street.

1409
01:41:32,119 --> 01:41:34,110
Whoa.

1410
01:41:37,858 --> 01:41:39,689
Just after the Mike Tyson fight,

1411
01:41:39,893 --> 01:41:42,862
Shakur, with record company
executive Suge Knight,

1412
01:41:43,097 --> 01:41:45,622
headed for a club.
While stopping at this intersection

1413
01:41:45,833 --> 01:41:49,098
a car with four people pulled up
and fired on Shakur and Knight.

1414
01:41:49,303 --> 01:41:51,498
Shakur was shot
several times in the chest.

1415
01:41:51,705 --> 01:41:54,868
The driver, his record producer,
was grazed in the head.

1416
01:41:55,109 --> 01:41:58,101
He's returned to intensive care
after another surgery,

1417
01:41:58,312 --> 01:41:59,677
still in critical condition.

1418
01:41:59,880 --> 01:42:02,940
All week long, fans of Tupac
have gathered outside the hospital.

1419
01:42:03,150 --> 01:42:04,708
He's undergone two operations.

1420
01:42:04,918 --> 01:42:07,819
His right lung was removed.
He's intermittently conscious.

1421
01:42:08,021 --> 01:42:10,455
Jesse Jackson's been here.
Family is keeping vigil.

1422
01:42:10,657 --> 01:42:13,319
Despite reports that his wounds
were not life-threatening,

1423
01:42:13,527 --> 01:42:18,624
people at the hospital continue to tell
us he is in very serious condition.

1424
01:42:19,766 --> 01:42:25,295
At 4.03 this afternoon,
Tupac Shakur was pronounced dead.

1425
01:42:32,446 --> 01:42:35,381
Who shot me?
Shit, I don't know.

1426
01:42:35,582 --> 01:42:37,379
Sorry.

1427
01:42:40,387 --> 01:42:43,550
My death, it's a tragedy
Iike Shakespeare, I guess.

1428
01:42:43,757 --> 01:42:46,555
But I have no bad feeIings.
I have Iove for everybody.

1429
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:50,196
PIease weIcome the mothers
of Biggie SmaIIs and Tupac Shakur,

1430
01:42:50,397 --> 01:42:53,423
Afeni Shakur and VoIetta WaIIace.

1431
01:43:13,921 --> 01:43:16,412
Coming to grips
with my past, it was hard.

1432
01:43:16,623 --> 01:43:20,184
I don't feeI what I did was eviI.
I feeI Iike the way I was Iiving

1433
01:43:20,394 --> 01:43:24,353
and my mentaIity was a part
of my progression to be a man.

1434
01:43:29,002 --> 01:43:31,232
But we grow. We aII grow.
We're made to grow.

1435
01:43:31,438 --> 01:43:34,669
You either evoIve
or you disappear.

1436
01:43:35,509 --> 01:43:36,976
I don't want to be forgotten.

1437
01:43:38,011 --> 01:43:41,242
I'II aIways be a troubIemaker
to some peopIe.

1438
01:43:42,216 --> 01:43:44,684
But I stiII get Iove
from my community.

1439
01:43:54,795 --> 01:43:57,787
I owe them everything. That's why
I owe everything to the 'hood.

1440
01:43:58,865 --> 01:44:00,264
I've got Iove there.

1441
01:44:01,168 --> 01:44:04,763
I've got Iove from thugs
and the street dudes.

1442
01:44:05,372 --> 01:44:08,273
And that focuses me back
on what I shouId be doing,

1443
01:44:08,475 --> 01:44:11,342
Iay out the reaI mat
on the worId and how it is.

1444
01:44:15,749 --> 01:44:18,183
The message is:
young bIack maIes couId do anything

1445
01:44:18,385 --> 01:44:21,115
if you just give us a shot,
stop trying to beat us down.

1446
01:44:21,822 --> 01:44:26,521
And to my homeboys, we need
to be in controI of ourseIves.

1447
01:44:28,996 --> 01:44:32,159
I'm not saying I'II change the worId,
but I guarantee I'II spark

1448
01:44:32,366 --> 01:44:35,301
the brain that wiII change the worId.

1449
01:44:39,273 --> 01:44:42,265
So keep your head up.

1450
01:44:42,476 --> 01:44:44,603
Do what you've gotta do.

1451
01:44:46,546 --> 01:44:50,744
And then inside of you,
I'II be reborn.
