[WATCH] 2Pac’s Father Thinks His Son’s Death was Orchestrated by the Government

2Pac’s Father Says He Was ‘Disappointed’ in ‘Dear Mama’ Documentary

In The Art of Dialogue‘s latest interview with Billy Garland, Tupac’s biological father details what he believes is the U.S. government’s involvement in his son’s death.

Garland believes that the death of his son was arranged by the government, who were following him throughout Las Vegas on the night he was killed, noting the infamous fight with Orlando Anderson should have never happened.

Also, in the conversation, Garland acknowledges Keefe D’s admitting to Anderson being the trigger man but wonders if that was a part of his deal.

“The government gave him the deal,” Garland said. “He [2Pac} was being tailed by the government the night of his assassination. He was being tailed by the government at Quad Studio. That’s a known fact. So I don’t know this guy Keefe. Maybe he had to say that to get out of some issue, I don’t know. I just know it looked like a setup to me. Somebody told this guy to stand there with the Death Row thing and it pursued to what we had, but I don’t think he had anything to do with the death of my son.”

Dear Mama, the docuseries on Tupac and Afeni Shakur, has received rave reviews online, but not everyone is fond of the story. In a conversation with The Art of Dialogue, Tupac’s biological father, Billy Garland, stated he was disappointed in the final product and would not have taken part if he had known the true direction.

“After I saw the interview in the documentary, I was slightly disappointed, let’s just say that,” Garland said. “I didn’t like it. It was more about something else, than about 2Pac, if you know what I’m saying. If I knew it was about ‘Dear Mama,’ I might’ve still did it, but I probably wouldn’t have. Not for nothing.”

Garland revealed Allen Hughes was invited to be in the documentary but didn’t know what it was exactly for. He also stated he was hesitant to do interviews because his answers always are pulled out of context. Later in the conversation, Garland would combat the thought that Tupac was bipolar, stating he “resented” the idea.

You can hear it all from Garland below.

Today In Hip Hop History: 2Pac Dropped His Third LP ‘Me Against The World’ 24 Years Ago

On this day in Hip Hop History, the late Tupac Shakur released his third studio LP, Me Against the World. This album came at one of the most pivotal times in ‘Pac’s life and career. Recorded shortly after his near fatal assassination attempt in New York and released while he was in prison, this album marked a change in 2Pac as an artist and a man.

This album was nothing like the music that gave him his “thug life” gangster image and street credentials. The subject matter and tone of this project were a lot more serious and introspective than anything he had previously released. Much less high energy than the tracks from his previous album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, this album showed genuine reflection on his life and career path as an artist along with shining light on some of his personal struggles with paranoia and self-loathing.

The realism of this album brought a ridiculous amount of commercial success. Debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the album has been certified double platinum selling over 3.5 million copies in the United States alone. Along with being #1 in the US, the album also ranked #23 in Germany and #20 in Sweden. In the year after its release, the album received the Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap Album. The project was Tupac’s most positively reviewed album and has been called the magnum opus of his career.

The singles from the project “Dear Mama,” “So Many Tears” and “Temptations” all made appearances on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “Dear Mama” peaked at #9, “So Many Tears” hit #44 and “Temptations” claimed the#68 spot.
