Snoop lucky he's got a friend like Warren G!!! We all need a friend like that!
Thank you Warren G for keeping Snoop on point.
Warren G is the homie we don't deserve but need in our lives.
Regulatin
Warren G is the truth! Super duper master producer. He does it all. Genius fo real!
I'm not saying snoops lying the time frames not matching up when he said that he played them eazy's new song. But who knows I wasn't there .
Day 1 homeboy shit💪
Seeing E40 get emotional talking about Pac hit hard.
Was born in 84 hip hop raise me,shouts to big boy for this clear insight rest in power 2pac
I was born in 89.... IM NOW ONE OF THE BEST KZhead rappers. Freestyle only. I never wrote any of my albums. Foreal 💯
Born 71... Robotics to body popping n breakdancing... Memories of going different council estate's...
Its a reason why Snoop still alive today. You can call him whatever you want but the man was thinking smartly and not letting the ego get him into shit.
Its not like they were in WW2 most of them are alive why t f world acts like there was something to survive they had money and everything to add Snoop always was weasel rat like character he was main reason East vs West started with his New york New york and now wants to blame pac and act like he was a fing some peacekeeper
Snoop is alive because he in the good ol boys network. You can’t say you a gangster and avoid conflict. It’s one of the other.
Big Boy's the perfect person to do a documentary on hip-hop history. This is beautiful👏
FR! this was so dope, i didnt even intend to watch the whole thing
He is mjs friend and I have been 4inches for over
Called for sale force and fire protection
Bought money plates
Ness tea in pockets but they said it was cocaine and it wasn't for everyone else but they didn't want the flintstones fred memory
the fact he can just clip all his interviews to tell a full story/documentary is legendary. BigBoy Da GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Warren G literally saved Hip-Hop. From snoop to Def Jam. Warren G the Hip-Hop savior.
Word up! Warren G is underrated. Those who pay attention and really love the craft of Hip-hop know he the truth. Long live G-Funk. Bring it back to a new era
@@twotenslim3767 I'd support that 💯
lololl I wouldn't say all that if your from the WEST COAST you felt that way you had no representation The originals the EAST COAST was killing this shit if you wasn't there you just don't know lololol but you never hear EAST COAST guys big it up like they don't have too
Warren saved DEF JAM, not hip-hop as a whole. He deserves respect from the label even to this day. Def Jam was on the outs. Near bankrupt, Russell Simmons is in serious debt. Warren saved the label for sure.
Onehitterquitter; Basically, In a nutshell 👍🏼👍✌💯
Tupac lived a very short life 😞 but in our hearts he will live forever. ✊✌ His lyrics have stood the test of time and will survive ✊👍✌
Our? Speak for yourself kid
Biggie as well
Biggie and E were 1000 times better
No @@dannydamico5223
I grew up in this era in my early 20’s I feel blessed to be alive.
That Pac intro was bomb 💣 🔥
I agree. It was dope.
Meh🙄
Pac was way ahead of his time - Goat for reason ❤
Warren G the REALIST LOYALIST HOMEBOY!MUCH RESPECT BRO!!!
50 Years of Hip Hop! I was born in 1989 so basically Hip Hop Raised Me RIP Tupac RIP Eazy-E
Mane am an OG coming from raggae to hip hop bless up my g 🇯🇲
Same here 89s bro.
Dogg u was 7 when Pac died😅 I was 14 That's the only celebrity death I ever cried from. skipped school the day after he passed, bumped me against and all Eyez on me tapes all DAY. BREAKING down like every hour or so. I couldn't go to school, I was that hurt bro.
@matthewrardin9807 I was 21 at the time and remembered Being in Hong Kong And News Came on And showed Tupac face and there was the dash 1971-1996 and I broke down crying before the news person could say he passed I was hurt too
@@eatassonthefirstdate Even tho I was 7 I wasn’t a baby either so I knew who PAC was 😂 but I feel you tho my first one had to been Aaliyah
For real at 25 Tupac accomplished so much. He changed the Hip Hop industry rest in peace Pac.
🙄meh
😂😂he was wack af foh 😂😂😂
@@mrsmutjuice nah
@@mrsmutjuice 🥱nobody cares or is disputing it's "a thing" after. It just was a " thing" before not "since" as you said.
@@mrsmutjuice did you see one?
MADD RESPECT TO WARREN G. AND THE WHOLE G.FUNK ERA
I’m from the Midwest and the West Coast hip hop got a special place in my heart.
I wish Tupac was here doing these interviews 15 years later. That would've been dope
R u stupid?
🙄
Everyone including myself would love watching those interviews
Yeayea but 2pac still live in Cuba!!🇨🇺 and I knew it from the start at least!! CUZZ I GOT LISTEN TO HIM !! Since my childhood!!!
But hi live her and now !!!
This man touched a lot of people’s hearts. I can see it in their faces and even in their voices as they speak about him.
Wow! What Snoop said about turning a new leaf brought tears to my eyes❤ Thank you Lord for keeping this man grounded and humble.
Your in too deep. These people don't know you.
Now if he can stop talking that gang stuff and be a real role model for young kids they need all the positive support they can get it's crazy out here.🤔
@@israelfreenation2 I think you missed the whole point and if I have to respond then yeah you did.
@@keiththomas111 True too but parents need to be their own kids role models first and foremost because your kids mimic and see what YOU do. This man has no real responsibility to anyone but his wife and kids and the fact that he understood that as opposed to Tupac not having ANY understanding of it certainly had an effect on the choices and decisions that he made. Both were facing the same issues and trials: Snoop chose door #2 and Tupac chose door # 1. They both had choices just as everyone in life does. Snoop chose to do better and withdraw from the negativity - Tupac chose to add fire to it and it ultimately CONSUMED him. CHOOSE LIFE.
He is a good role model. I get it.
It's amazing how any story about hiphop ends as soon as Tupac died.
I 100% agree with you
And then there was G-unit
Snoop got me in tears, that story from his mouth is heart wrenching. I remember how all these events impacted me as an adolescent and maybe that is why this entire video is so powerful to me, but it feels like its more than that. great documentary cant wait for next chapter.
so did he drive or fly to vegas? snoopy knows
Everything from Snoops mouth, or any of their mouths, is a lie. Their lives are all scripted and they're all Boule-raised FTM gender flippers. Hip Hop is a Flip Flop!
@@uesikonHe drove... actually listening to Nas otw
When is the next chapter releasing?
Mom's Clean Snoop Up was DEEP ..RIP PAC & BIGGIE
Warren G is the unsung hero in these stories. He got the bad end of the stick as far as the death row inclusion but was able to turn it into something even more incredible than I think he would have had he just signed with DR
Warren g is one of the most underrated and super talented producers out there!! I still bump definition of a thug at least once a month
Snoop a superstar pac a super duper duper star who will live forever
Great documentary brings back memories R.I.P TUPAC AND EAZY E
Man..if you live long enough to see life and understand all that it takes to be successful and to get out of the streets, you realize that it’s guys like Warren G, a true friend who makes the difference between winning and losing. Warren was a visionary and a stand up guy who believed in something bigger than himself. Most people being in his position as Dre’s stepbrother would have tried to get on for themselves but he had the character and wisdom to know that Snoop was the golden child and the ticket to success. Respect to the G Child and to 213! Incredible story 👊🏽💯
Crazy how Warren G introduced Snoop to Dre and Dre was like I’ll take Snoop use him to write , rap and be the foundation of his own album then tell Warren you got to be your own man 😂 cold game
@@splashsisters8439 you speaking truth. Dre ain’t really a stand up guy but he’s talented and nobody wants to call him out on all the sucker stuff he did and let go on in his camp. Other than Daz and the late great 2pac! Glad Warren got his shot though and Snoop was a real friend throughout
Exactly that
rip nate dogg
best comment
Warran G's story is the most inspirational. He's the architect of the G FUNK ERA. He was a SUPERSTAR when I was a kid. The way he carved out a way for himself by hitting that drum machine, and them records makes him HIP HOP ROYALTY.
That’s a lie! Above the law started the G funk era. RIP KMG
Warren G put G Funk on the map. Above the law wasn’t callin it G Funk at all.
R.I.P. TUPAC 👑 i will never forget the day he left I was 16 was a fan of his since digital underground he had the Bay lit👑👑👑 Shit breaks my ❤
Same here I was 15 when it happened rip Tupac ❤
From Huntsville Alabama Long Live 2pac!!!
Pac is alive in our hearts The G.O.A.T.
Nah
Ima always love Tupac always. I was 11 years old I remember when I heard he was in the hospital thinking he was going to make it. I get in my feelings every time I hear this story. Well done Big thanks love🫶🏿🫶🏿
Simp
This Documentary offers a valuable insight into the genre's evolution. Big thanks to Big Boy for bringing us this enlightening exploration of hip-hop history! 🙌🏾
It would be awesome to be in another Universe where Pac and Biggie lived, just to get a glimpse of how much greater they would have both been. Their reconciliation would have been epic as would the collaborations between them.
I always find it crazy when people if pac or big was around😂😂😂😂 if they were chances are they wouldn't be rapping 😂 there's no rapper in hip hop history 20+ years later still dropping albums
Jay-z , nas ,it’s a handful but they exist
@@yungl.o.e9211movies though
@@yungl.o.e9211there is. Eminems still dropping albums 20 years later, still making no.1 hits, still extremely successful with several diamond sales and most hip hop albums ever sold. Lil Waynes also still dropping music since the 90s like Eminem & I believe he also has a diamond album. Just to add wether we personally like them or not is irrelevant, this is just in response to no rapper doing it 20 years, I’m not tryna start an argument on if anyone likes them or not 😅haha
@@jessicarichter6436why u bring pork inna dis?fk his sales locust
Man i aint gone lie, Warren G grabbing Snoops raps outta the trash can made me cry... Getting old man...
This era was just dope
Warren G is one of my favorite west coast rapper/producer's.
Damn! A lot really happened! Long live Tupac ✊🏿❤️
Long live Tupac? That didn't age well🤣😂😅🤭👉
Long Live TUPAC...!!! I just Love Pac man.. How can you not Love Him.. 😭🥲🥲🥲
Easy kid. And long live Tupac? That didn't age well huh🤣😂😅🤭👉
Tupac, we love you always. Rest In Peace. I absolutely love hearing every story about you. You were too real to be here for long. Many of us can’t look at the mirror and LOVE who we see.
The phuk? You got issues little guy
Wtf bro?.. why are u borderline worshipin him? He’s a sinner just like you.
Snoop & Pac smokin together Classic 💨 🍃
Love how Snoop pays homage to Big Suge 💪🏿💯
Born in 89 in South Jersey. My first memories of hip hop was Snoop and Pac. Listening to Snoop and them talk about their stories brings back how good it felt as a kid seeing black men being powerful and created. I wanted to be them. Forever goated 🐐
Big Boy THE DIRECTOR! Bro needs to direct this was incredible shout out to everyone and rip to everyone I felt this inside
PAC is my all-time fav artist & I am from East Europe (Romania), born in '91. All my childhood I listened to thousands of hours of West Coast hip-hop and I consider these fine gentlemen my idols & because of them I am a white dude loving the black culture & hating any kind of discrimination. THIS is how BIG their influence was! Their music shaped my values 4 life!!
For me 2pac was and is rap and hip hop ..
ciao tati :)
As a white person i love Conscious Rap lol
💪🏽
They're racist though, SOOOO 🤷
Bruh is Dre saying he whispered to Eazy as he was dying, whoa that's cold
Warren a real one for getting in the trash can to preserve Snoop’s raps and to reenforce that push to get their music on, in himself and in Snoop. If you have a brother who do something like that, that is a man you can count on for life to have your back. I always have been a fan. But that made me even more of one of Warren G for that… 💯💯💯
And they dissed him like that. Shows the scumbag type people they are
Snoop needs a movie!!!!!
Waaaaay overdue.
It’s being developed as we speak and will be directed by Allen Hughes.
It will happen. Unfortunately when he dies
The fact that I am neither from the West nor from the East, I got to witness, experience and feel Hip Hop from everywhere. I listen(ed) to Pac, Ice Cube, Dogg Pound and many others from the West but at the same time enjoyed Naughty by Nature, LL, NaS, Biggie, Outkast, Bone Thugs, 2 Live Crew, ect. This is what it's all about - celebrating everyone who contributed and yes, you can have your favorites but it's about the Culture as a whole☝🏼
On of the most powerful videos I’ve ever seen in my life. Much respect to @bigboytv for the work out in, and the intense compilation of interviews and emotions from all parties. Much respect!!!
@Putitinthaairpodcast Yeah this shit fire !💯
& ad free!!
Man!!, the way that E 40 talks about PAC and the way he breaks down while reliving that fateful day of his passing speaks to the genuine love that he had for the man
Nobody broke down kid. Stop it.
Yeah E40 kinda had me almost teary eyed when talking about Pac and his death. You can tell he had Lotta love for him.
This is fantastic! Thank you. Great interviews and editing and I miss 2Pac so much. R.I.P to the G.O.A.T.
This is going to inspire so many new artists to never give up. 💪🏾💯🔥
Meh🙄
It is nice to see all the old school bro’s you can’t get it better than that ❤❤
I'm about too bump the sht out of this Warren G album. Mad respect for Bro! Seeing the vision and staying the course.
Tupac, Cube, DMX, Ice T, Scarface. Goats
I will always miss you Pac❤😞
I need to watch this documentary when I come back from church tonight. West Coast in the MFin' House.
These dudes definitely come a long way... RESPECT 👊🏼💯
Rest on Tupac Shakur my G.
Damn good video, especially for all of us who lived through that era. Thank you.
RIP 2pac 👑 71-96. 2023 - infinity
This was great! You always love to hear from the ppl who was actually there tell their stories. We need way more of these type of documentaries on the culture!
MY HE REST IN PEACE TUPAC REALLY WISH I COULD'VE MET YOU ❤️
❤ this.... heartbreaking all the losses: Eazy, Tupac n Biggie ...
That was Amazing , I seen teh interviews before but done ths way was amazing , Big Boy Questions where on point,R.I.P. Pac , 50 Years of Hip-Hop ad its only Part 1
I'm glad I lived through this era of hiphop.
Rip 2pac and biggie uze 2 took hip hop 2.another level
Love the mix. Very well put together. The sounds is amazing 😍 Very nice hip hop mix!❤❤❤
Man I loved this documentary from the way it was put together to the memories it brings back hearing some of these tracks. A bunch of legends right here!
this doc inspires you to believe in yourself
Tupac forever love you bro always appreciate you for you ❤❤❤❤
I started watching from the middle of the documentary when they started talking about 2pac and I must say that these interviews are the best interviews I've heard about 2pac because they're so down-to-earth, no bullshit. Snoop Dogg really opened up here and said some things that I never heard him say in other interviews. I even liked what I heard from E-40 and Ice T. Would've been nice to hear from Daz and Kurupt. This was a great documentary and it was well put together.
Rip to all the legends
Tupac made inspirational songs
ThankYou Big Boy.. for always representing our generation's culture, music and humor. Thru you I felt a connection to hip hop that otherwise as a latina would have prob never felt I could be part of. You were a influence and accepted different ethnicities of our generation to be part of Hip Hop. I was Hip Hop then and I'm still Hip Hop now,
Great video Big Boy!! Sad to think about the loss of pac and Big and young men not being able to hash it out and still be here😢
One of the realist interviews I've ever seen
Thanks Big Boy!! Lotta work went into this. ❤
Getting high with snoop and just listening to his stories is top 5 bucket list for me!
RIP 🙏🏾 TuPac Shakur🕊 RIP 🙏🏾 Afeni Shakur 🕊
Rest in Power Legend 2Pac❤
Great job putting together this documentary Big. 🫡 God bless you and your family bro🙏🏽🕊️
Well composed and out together. I recommend this video to anyone who wants to learn the history of the big names in hip hop
Thank you BigBoy and team for this!
THIS IS A GREAT, GREAT VIDEO, THANKS BIG BOY !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤

Phenomenal compilation put into order. Props to the editor and researchers, you did great work, solid as. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I really enjoyed this, thank you so much.
Long Live Tupac!
Your comment doesnt majke any sense; its like saying: A round circle , or a dead corps. A circle is alrady round, a corps is already dead no need to say it like that. You just say a circle or a corps. Just like you cant say LONG LIVE TUPAC. Cause tupac WILL live forever
2-Pac is God among insects. I am not worthy 👑
@@unbeastable957ut your comment doesn’t make any sense at all. Saying long live someone means you wish them to live a long life, so you can’t say that for a dead person lol
Dont like 2pac dont know why!!! 2pac and his all Thug life stuudity He wonted so much to be a thug a Gangsta this Shows me how primitive and unreponsible he was He had so much Talent but he liked better to be a Thug i cant take this serious
@@kocur-ul9ku because you know nothing about him except how he was portrayed through mainstream media in his short career. But I guess you like the politicians you vote for lol. They seem much more genuine and kind to you eh 👊🏽
🙏 Very rough years and time ! I remember seeing on t.v. about Tupac getting shot , we had lost Selena quintanilla-Perez in March 1995 , it was also tough 😢... My respects for his family/friends.
Love this! Thank you!
Nicely put. Thank you BigBoy TV!.
Phenomenal work Big Boy!! And shouts out to all the legends in this documentary. Most importantly happy birthday Hip-Hop my soundtrack, inspiration and LOML
Great interview BigBoy💪🏽👍🏽
