Take Pac's dikk out your mouth if you think Pac in ANY shape or form had the same level of star power or ANYTHING CLOSE to the GOAT Prince :snoop:

Above the fray.
So what if Prince had that money? Are y'all trying to say Pac had a lesser star power? Man y'all tripping.

Compare other rappers with rappers. Pac is to be compared with REAL LEGEND ROLLING STONES like Prince, Mike, Elvis, and whatnot.
Pac's marketability and sales rose dramatically AFTER he passed away.
While he was alive, he was not in same category as MJ or Prince.

Nothing he released while he was alive sold what Purple Rain or Thriller did.

I'm gonna throw a red flag based on what I know. Yea there was a Warner deal on the table, but there was 0 chance Pac was leaving Interscope. I didn't watch the entire vid but he mentioned that Pac's lawyers said it would be "easy" to get out of the one page jail contract. With the legal representation Suge had at the time, and the money on the table...it would have been difficult. But Interscope was willing to do anything to get Pac away from Suge, and to reunite him with Dre. From what I've heard and been told, Interscope had the inside line on getting that deal settled and it was only a matter of time before the trigger was going to be pulled.

Pac was going to drop at least two more records on Death Row before bouncing. Either the Makaveli album - or whatever was salvaged after Pac made peace with Nas - and another album (not One Nation). Maybe a soundtrack. His imprint was supposed to be Makaveli Records, under whatever label he signed with - Interscope, most likely.

In terms of the money amount...a good way to think about this is that the money is a down payment for you to create your imprint. When people see those numbers they think it means "oh he's getting 80mil for 7 albums." It may work like that in other genres of music (Prince) but rap is a shell game. Pac was going to use that money on solo albums, soundtracks, putting the Outlawz on, and signing multiple artists. I haven't verified it but I've heard that Dre got the idea to sign Rakim from Pac. He wanted to sign some New York legends and spread money around, including Rakim.

The underlined was never going to happen under any circumstance.

Dr. Dre wanted no parts of Tupac’s ego and Tupac already completely disrespected Dr. Dre’s craft and legacy. That would be an absurd pipe dream ro even consider as a possibility. They worked entirely differently

Dre wanted no parts of anything Death Row related at all then (and now for that matter). Left Sam Sneed high and dry while 2pac was alive, and exiled J-Flexx when Flexx asked about being paid for his work on "Been There, Done That".

J-Flexx may of been one of the worst songwriters to ever achieve radio play or success

If Wendy day got cashmoney125m.
right after the shattering of the glass ceiling. After the death of big and pac.
Plus even scot Larock allegedly before death even had a million dollar distribution deal.

So considering the amount.

It does not seem farfetched and actually low ball.conaidering cashmoney got 125 m, not much later after this.
