Why Tupac Died Broke

[Rollie Forbes]

 

[Complexion]

Because he was spending advance money like it was water and the royalties were calculated for year end payment and he wasn't on the Row long enough to get that check.

 

[Fanservice]

This story has been told so many times like every Pac story

 

[TEKBEATZ]

He died broke but his legacy is priceless

 

[DontEemTry]

Tupac didn't know anything about business basically.

I think that’s more so of a thing now than it was back then. Pac was an amazingly talented studio gangster, he wasn’t flipping any packs. He got a good deal with Death Row but he was taking care of a lot of people. Suge bonded him out and had him living in LA pushing Royce’s and having plenty of cash. He was with Death Row for less than a year, those royalty checks hadn’t started coming through quite yet.

For everything else there's mastercard

 

[King Poetic]

Because suge and death row never had a royalties department and the accounting was bad…

David Kenner who never get mentioned was stealing money as well but no one says shyt

 

[bigde09]

Pac was taking care of his entire family

All the big rappers in. The 90s were broke
Snoop, Dre, Biggie, Pac etc

 

[FluffyEyes]

Not surprising. Most black owned labels took up the same sheisty formula of
”accounting” that the white ones had, Death Row was no different.

 

[spliz]

Pac was paying off lawyers. Taking care of like 40 people. Spending his own and he didn't get his royalty checks yet. Basically.

360

Like Dre was in .. except interscope didn’t have to deal with lawyer fees with Dre

Dre made money as a interscope artist while being a death row coowner who was suppose to make money as a coowner

Made enough to give eazy his cut and enough to dip from death row start over

Interscope handled the legal shyt

Kenner took out the legal shyt for attorney fees

And suge gave em a allowance

Anybody who flaunts money .. don’t really have it
