Why Tupac Died Broke

[Tommy Gibbs]

Isn't showing money how they make money now?

And how was MJ making money off thriller when he didn't even tour it? Was it just the Pepsi deal and the Victory tour?

Mj sold MILLIONS of records. Are you comparing the sales of Thriller to the sales of a rap album? .Damn near every household in Amerikkka had Thriller in their house in some form back in the early 80s. Klan members included. Plus songs like Billie Jean was used in Pepsi commercials. MJ wrote that one. Home video with the Thriller video. And MJ was performing Thriller songs on that Victory tour.

nikka he had money before phat farm

Actually all of Run DMC were in bad situations financially. It's just one of them had a millionaire brother and got into scamming people from the pulpit. The other 2 were Jay and D.

Because Kenner is the boogie man to these nikkas out here as a lawyer because of his connections in LA up until mid 2000s..

Dude was stealing money left and right and had suge dumb ass think it was someone else who was supposedly Kenner friend

That's why I think Biggie's death is the bigger tragedy because Pac did not live like a nikka that expected to see 30

Yeah … biggie was looking forward to the future spending time with his kids ….again …. Badboy had no bizz been in l.a at that time it was too hot to be there gene deal altho sometimes not the most credible but I believe when he told biggie and puffy and everyone at badboy that we shouldn’t be in l.a and cats are gunning for them …. they underestimated the situation pac dead suge locked … thought the danger was gone … bad choice … if it was me or me in charge of biggies managing I would have stressed it to them that they shouldn’t really go to California for a cool few years to cool things off ….

earlier 92 ... while suge was tryin to muscle jerry heller

dre and eazy was with jimmy iovine negotiating because of eazys contract with dre at ruthless..

sony didnt wanna deal with the drama between eazy n the labelm

eazy held up the chronic bein released


jimmy was the only person that could the two together...



dre left with 10million for him n suge

n Eazy got his piece...

suge didnt know what was goin... but he finally got eazy n tried to muscle ..dre n eazy already had a deal in ink

n dre n jimmy had a deal.. dre was a interscope artist/partner in death row..

eazy got 1.5- 2million off the chronic

dre was gettin paid by interscope..but suge didnt give dre a dime of what he was owed nor doc

death row wasnt cuttin eazy no check..

interscope was payin dre like a artist was suppose to .......

interscope was because eazy knew dre was interscope artist...

MJ was also a decade+ veteran in the biz by the time Thriller dropped and had a deal no one else had at the time

Same reason everybody who goes broke goes broke (who didn't get robbed for it)...living above his means most likely.
