Sekiywa and Mopreme: DO YOU KNOW?

[4-getta]

Hello,

Like most of us, I've read alot of stuff about Pac and his life.
One of the things I got to know is that he got a half sister and a stepbrother.
Not that this knowledge would be any kind of rare, I know that this is common knowledge.
But what I just don't understand is, what happened to both of'em when Pac and Afeni moved to Baltimore and from Baltimore to Marin City.
Mopremes and Sekiywas father Mutulu went underground before that, but did he take the kids with him or did they move with Afeni and Pac?
Cause there's nothing written about their stay in the books I've read.

Can anybody help me out???

You're all apreciated! :thumb:

there is a book by Darrin Bastfield I think about Pac times in Baltimore, it is entitled ''Back In the Day''. In the book it stands that Pac was living in Baltimore with his sister but there was nothing about Mopreme as I remember right

 

[MarvelouZ]

^^^yea i don`t remember nothing about him 2

 

[Giz]

It was only Pac and his sister who grew up together, Mopreme was probably living with his mom!

Mopreme has said that he and pac were apart for a good few years before meeting back up in Oakland in late 80's

Thx to everybody for replying.
So what you saying basicly is that Sekiywa was with Pac and Afeni in Baltimore (and even Marin City)???
But Mopreme stood with his mum?

Mopreme was a few years older, and Sekyiwa few years younger than Pac.

When Mutulu was on the run, (1984?) Afeni moved to Baltimore with HER children 2pac & Sekyiwa. Mopreme was already about 15, 16...he probably did what most 16 years old do in the ghetto. (Strugglin')

The three of them (Afeni, Pac & Sekyi) moved to Oakland, Pac met Ray Luv they moved out. Afeni was a fiend, Sekyi was left to support herself. Jasmine Guy's book touched on this a little, something really deep (I think an abortion or something) happened that severed Afeni & Sekyi's relationship. Pac & Ray moved with Leila Steinberg, met Atrong Gregory and DU, and Pac was on the road for several years. He allowed his mother back into his life in I think 1994 when he wrote Dear Mama.

I'm not sure when Mopreme came into the picture. He was on a Toni Tone Tony song in 1989? (Those Were The Dayz) 2pac was with DU. 2pac & Mouse Man (From Baltimore) hooked up and did a few songs and they met Mopreme the Wycked/Mocedes..recorded Black Cotton, NIGGA, What Goes On, etc. and Mopreme appeared on papaz Song..then Thug Life, AEOm, etc.

Ive always wonder about certain lines like "Thank the lord for my kids even if nobody else wants them" (Keep ya Head Up, 1992) He dedicates this to Elijah and ? and says on them is his nephew. Mo's kid or Sekyi's kid?

I remember "My hard stares seem to scare all my sister's kids" how many does she have?

I dont have the ressurection book handy, but i remember a picture of pac playing with a baby on the floor..whose baby?

He couldn't be referring to his godbrother Kadafi's children, since they were born after he and Yak died.

Edi and Kas have children but that was much later. Mu just had a baby. But ive never heard Mopreme mention children..does he have any?

Ricardo:

Thx for taking the time to really reply to my question.
Well, I always wonder why there isn't any information on A) the life of Sekiywa, plus what she's doing today and who her husband is etc. I think by being Tupac Shakur's sister (even if she's just his halfsister) she should be a celebrety or something. Pac is an idol to many people.
B) What kind of kids Pac is mentioning troughout some of his songs.
At first it was like, what you just mentioned, in Keep Ya Head Up and that's some mystical shit, because I never really got who he's really talking about. The other thing is, that he is always talking about kids in a lot of songs from his DR times, that's why sometimes I wonder if he had a kid himself. Lines such as: "My little boy gotta eat too". Maybe that's just symbol wise.
c) Didn't Pac move with Afeni (and from what I know now: also with Sekiywa) to Marin city? But than he moved out the house, started selling drugs and moved to Oakland to "learn the game". Because I thought he was going to Oakland on his own. He had his own flat, right? You said, the all moved to Oakland.
D) Who exactly is Geronimo Pratt, and when did Pac had something to do with him as well as what was their relationship like??
E) Why did Pac and family move away from Baltimore?? Why did he have to leave Baltimore School For The arts behind and move away??? It eant so much to him, so what kind terrible things happened, that he had to move away from there???
F) Who are the boys that he said got killed?? that's from an Thug Angel interview, the one when he was 17 years old. He says something like "then the 2nd week, I was out in California, I heard that two of my friends, two friends from work got shot dead in the head". It seems like he was working with them at the same place in Baltimore, and when he moved to Marin City, the second week, he found out that they got killed. But is that really the case? Because from what I know, Pac only had two jobs prior his rapping career. One was at a Pizza place in Marin City and the other?? Baltimore??

Please hook me up with some info...thx!!
And don't look at spelling faults..

pac also got some lyrics dissin his sister, can't recall them from the top, but he def got a line sayin he don't miss her or some shit, any body got a pic his sis?

 

[~live2tell~]

Kadafi was actually Tupac's half-brother (they have the same father)

 

[Ricardo]

I meant they moved to Marin City (Menace of Marin, I Kill, I kill again). He was living in Oakland by the time he was with DU. (Shock stole his shit out of his apartment because he left the door unlocked and the windows open.)

Don't recall Pac EVER dissing his sister..thats stupid?

I was thinking he references children because the people that listen to his songs probably have children. SO when they're sitting baxk listening to Words 2 My First Born, Unconditonal Love, Changes, etc. they are thinking about their kids going through the struggles they went through.

Live2Tell not true. Sekou Odinga is Kadafi's father and Yaasmyn Fula is his mother.
Afeni Shakur is 2pac's mother, and several people could be his father, the commonly aceepted is Billy Garland. Sekou was not one of the potential fathers of 2pac.

I believe that either Afeni is Kadafi's godmother, Yaasmyn is 2pac's godmother, or both.

 

[Ricardo]

Geronimo Pratt is 2pac's godfather, he was a black panther, imprisoned, and released in the late 1990's. He appeared on "In The Event of My Demise".

Pac and cousin Scott ??? worked as busboys/dishwashers in Baltimore. Scott stole some money and they got fired. Read "Back In The Dayz"

I read from a Black Panther site that Billy Garland is also the father of Kadafi. You sure Sekou Odinga is Kadafi's biological father? And not just a father figure.

Thx for replying once again..

Still there's some space in my knowledge about Pac.

GERONIMO PRATT:
He was Pac's Godfather, allright.
But what exactly does it mean and when did they spent time together?
In which city about which year?

PAC THE DISHWASHER:
Pac was washing dishes in Baltimore with some guy called Scott?
Who were the guys that got killed??

MOVING TO MARIN CITY:
Why did Pac and his family once again move away from Baltimore and to Marin City?

I really don't get those points figgered out, can anyone explain it please?
