Fredro on tha Row? nah. I'm glad he didn't get caught up. He had a choice back then. But with Pac being in jail and with his back against the wall, he had no choice. In the long run, Pac got screwed up in the deal. Too tragik

 

[Butt Rubber]

maybe he couldve joined the Outlawz

 

[hizzle?]

He just got arrested two days ago in a club in Croatia.

He was performing with Onyx in Zadar, his wife's hometown, and the police arrested everyone in there for "disturbing the peace" because home owners next door to the club complained about the noise...

Everyone in the club went nuts on the police.

 

[Bender]

lol just the look of pac scared him off haha

2Pac had the money to bail himself out of jail. People kept thinking he needed the help of Suge to get out of jail. The media keeps saying this. Bullshit. Me Against The World was making him money while he was in jail. It was the number one album when it came out. 2Pac had the funds. What very few people know is that 2Pac wanted to carry out his sentence in jail so that when it came time for his court date for appealing the sex abuse case, he would then win it and make them look like assholes for throwing him in jail in the first place. He wanted to prove the system wrong. I guess he changed his mind when Suge came with a deal. Why? I don't know but there a few reasons we could say.

according to Napoleon Pac didn't have the money and that's why he went to the row

Well it's really kinda hard to believe Pac didn't have the money since like Rock said, MATW had just come out and at the time it was the number one record on the charts. Pac for sure had the money to bail himself out or at least was about to get enough money from the sales to bail himself out.

 

[SmokeBud2GetHigh]

2pac didn't have anywhere near that money to put down on just bail.

 

[Kadafi Son]

The bail was over a million dollars. Pac probably get ahold of that money yet, or Interscope only gave him a portion of it

 

[SmokeBud2GetHigh]

I think some people don't realize how different the music industry is today then it was in the early/mid 90s. Todays rap stars see alot more of there money then they would have in the 90s. Today you get your own label on a major with having one album out lol.

You do realize to post bail you only need 10% of the actual bail amount? So if the bail was set at one mil then he only needed $100k to post bail.

 

[SmokeBud2GetHigh]

1.4 million WAS the amount posted for bail.

Having a number one album doesnt mean a thing. The labels are the ones that eat off the album sales unless you got a sweeeeet deal. Not familiar with the TLC story? Q-Tip said he made $30,000 off Midnight Marauders, a platinum album. Jimmy Iovine was the one gettin all that MATW money. Artists get the bulk of their money from shows and touring, and Pac couldnt do that locked up. PLUS he had to pay mad lawyer fees, so no he was not in a position to bail himself out

exactly wot i was gonna say, also pac had no representitve to sort out pacs cut from the album so it def would av been eatin by the record label. so i dont believe he had the cash to bail himself and all that shit done at DR they say he only had around 100G's that was his, and we all know DR is where he made most of his cash and he was free but yet he only had a 100G this jus shows the record labels, in this case Suge, eat up all the cash.

 

[EDouble]

pac would of been out on bail if he could of before death row whether or not the oporutunity etc helped his decision to sign with suge is irregardless

he had a lot of legal shit beyond the sex abuse case
album was #1 in march he was bailed in october

I've never seen someone talk so much out of their ass

his money was wrapped up in lawyer fees and supporting family apparently, he's even stated this more than once.
