LOS ANGELES, CA – Shortly before his death, Tupac Shakur was on the verge of creating a genre-shifting record, according to veteran actor Bokeem Woodbine.
The Emmy-nominated thespian, who also starred in ‘Pac’s “I Ain’t Mad at Cha” music video, says the late rapper shared the details of the record while they were on set filming of the All Eyez on Me single.
He explained that the record, which Tupac informed him to keep secret, would have featured the Notorious B.I.G., Mobb Deep, and other East Coasters, and may have put an end to their beef.
“He had a plan to put everybody together on one record and just squash the beef,” Woodbine said in a new interview with The Fader. “He wanted to take the power away from the labels that were exploiting the situation. It angered him that they were profiting; he wanted to stop the cash flow. It wasn’t something I was supposed to tell people about, you know what I’m saying? I honored that, and I just waited for that record to come out. But unfortunately, as you know, it never did.”

Run up in yo spot like CJ from san andreas -
him and biggie would've had to physically fight to squash the beef. Then puff and suge. The mobb deep part is believable being that it was on wax only. -
i believe this tho . i dont think pac wanted to continue beefin wit them . if he ended it with nas what makes you think he wont ended wit mobb deep . they kinda jump in the line of fire tbh .
-
The last song pac recorded was all out and let's get it on, doesn't seem like he wanted to squash it
-
Don't know about this one...you mean to tell me Pac actually thought BIG was going to get on a record with him after Hit em Up? I couldn't even see Mobbed Deep doing after Pac came with the Sickle Cell comment

I feel that there's a lot of revisionist history and ? just using Pac's name. Seems like EVERY celebrity was in Vegas that night too SMMFH and claims they had an album coming out. Mopreme called a lot of them ? out and called ? liars....
? , a few years ago, r Kelly is trying to claim that the original best of both worlds was supposed to be with pac -
Where the hell this ? been????
Mother ? did Jason's lyric and disappeared into darkness. -
This isn't the first time I've heard this. Iv'e also heard that they never really had beef and that the whole thing was fake.
