ICE T Reveals His Relationship With 2PAC & LA Gangs

[Music] dynamic you and i spoke uh kind of about it on the uh on the phone and how you know a lot of people don't understand that you know tupac was your actual little homie last words was you in cuba cox 13 years younger than me right right and i i knew park ever since he was in digital underground and you know as he's moved up in the gangsta rap ranks of course i worked with him but i was not a fan of pock hanging around la gang bangers you know me being around it and growing up in it and poc being from the bay if you're from the bay you don't really truly understand la gangs i'm just being honest and no matter how down you are how gangster you are la gangs you you join a la gang when you're 12 13 years old and you build a bond so when you're 20 like chris brown or somebody and they say i'm in a blood gang you're not you know they'll they'll they'll come to the club with you they'll party with you but you ain't putting no work with them right the bond is different exactly the bond is different yeah so i i just worried about pop and uh when park first came he was hanging out with the kids from um um rated r and macadosius the first thug like kids them kids at crips right so then you know when he got with suge you know now he's dealing with bloods right okay so you know i would always just like get at him you know like you know but he was so hot yeah he was so hot and i had i told you a story one night shock g rest in peace showed up at my door so i'm living in hollywood hills i get a knock on that door i open to do a shot gee i'm like [ __ ] you doing yeah cuz he like man i'm just up here in the hills i asked if any black people lived up here they said knocked on my door but he sat with me he said ice man i wish you could talk to pop because poc respects you but everybody kind of knew pock was pushing the line yeah and at the end of the day he crossed the line getting involved in gang [ __ ] you know fighting over a chain and to a gang banger a gang banger that's really gang banging it's like an insult to them like it's like you know you're a rapper and you're you're stepping in our area and you know the like i tell people i'm angry with poc like like like like like that's my kid like yeah i mean no i'm not gonna say he was my kid but he's like a youngster like a little brother yeah yeah and i remember park came over my house and he played hit him up to me and i was like so i was watching you know the first line was i [ __ ] your [ __ ] so i've always you know and when i say this kind of stuff you know the park stands they're like you're supposed to be riding with park no matter what but i'm like now my job as an og is to give him a little guidance exactly you know and i believe that and you you won't just hear me say that you'll hear a lot of west coasters say the same thing that you know anyone that i'll tell it's just anybody if you're not from l.a don't [ __ ] with the gangs if you come to la and you decide oh i'm just going to move into hollywood hills and you meet some crips or you make some bloods or you meet some pyrus or you meet some ms-13s it's not the best idea to become friends and hang out with them or jump into that game exactly you know it's just not the best idea so i i mean i miss pock and i love pock you know but was he would you think he would he was angry at you for not jumping out there with him no he wasn't really angry he was maybe just like come on i he just felt like we he didn't have any animosity towards me i didn't have it when i'm saying i'm angry it's just i'm just mad have you ever been mad somebody died yes absolutely you know what i'm saying like that's what i mean yeah i'm not sure i'm not i'm i'm i miss him yeah it's like you made some mistakes right so you know i've said it and people oh you know they i guess they take it wrong yeah you know well ice tea thinks see things of it isn't in stan view i can't tell poc nobody because pakistan's here and i'm here but that's not how it works yeah it works like you know seniority yeah i can sit snoop down snoopy like yo oh gee yo you know i'm older than everybody real talk you know so it's not about who got the most records it's like you know and i wish he might would have paid more attention to myself and other people i mean if he had to heeded the the the information he could probably still be here mean it's literally yeah i mean we all kind of know it was one false move yeah one false move no no no it was accumulation of faults but but but that situation you know what i'm saying you hit the you got involved in gang politics you hit a [ __ ] who you probably you know what i'm saying you know you didn't know that he was that you know because again you're not in the hood you don't know you don't know who the enemies really are you know what i'm saying where are you from kansas city missouri kansas city missouri i come to kansas city missouri i'm ice-t and i go out on one of those blocks and i'll start getting involved in their gang [ __ ] it's just not no no it's yeah and i've been in la 20 years you know and i know pyrus i know [ __ ] from grape street from santa ana all over but it's different you know you can be associated and know people but you don't take on oh yeah i rock with [ __ ] from woo woo well i don't know what when i say this i don't know if it's resonating i'm saying you're dealing with [ __ ] that are never going to make a record like right but they're not in our world they're in a whole nother world right and they a lot of them have animosity towards you mm-hmm yo ice-t yo you you rapping about me living you know you're rapping how i'm living exactly some of them's like go on i remember when i first started rapping and you know the gang bangers be like yo you said you say 111 and you know they want me to say that the sets you know but then some of them be like yo [ __ ] like they could have an attitude because i might pull up with a bad [ __ ] yeah i might be doing something that they not remember these see i heard one og say something about you which i was shocked because you i've never heard anything bad about you know but i ain't gonna say his name you probably already know who i'm talking about um i think his name starts with him you know what i'm talking about uh he said he was just like yeah uh yeah except something for that [ __ ] iced tea yeah you good i forgot what he called a good jewelry store high status [ __ ] but you know you ain't you know that type of [ __ ] which i get as well you know even on my level well i wasn't i mean i'm not i mean if you compare me to a gang banger that's out shooting killing and stuff like that that wasn't me i'm a good jewelry store heist and [ __ ] that's what he called you you know so so so he knew he knew what it was but a lot of times people see when you say gangsta rap they won't immediately put you into gang banging right right and i never portrayed that i'm a gang banger so that you know but you know they knew and most of the cats also even no matter how old the g's are i'm older than them so it's like even like talk about big you or somebody like that big you'll say ice is the big homie right isis which i've heard him say yeah isis isis soldier to me i used to see ice in them pull up with jewels and the [ __ ] and the fila so there's not there's nothing fake about you know my history and i don't portray to be mr i'm not monster cody right you know what i'm saying rest in peace but but my thing is like i always respected the gangs i'm aware of the gangs and i know how they operate and i tell people to be [Music] hmm
