- Part 6: • E.D.I. Mean on People ...
Part 4: • E.D.I. Mean Disagrees ...
Part 1: • E.D.I. Mean on Kastro ...
--------
In this clip, E.D.I. Mean spoke about having the unfortunate distinction of being the only person alive featured on the classic diss track "Hit Em Up." E.D.I. moved on to discuss 2Pac making the song "Changes" at 19 and how Pac didn't spend much time beat-picking until his days at Death Row.
Later, E.D.I. Mean talked about having a child with 2Pac's sister and why he relinquished the responsibility he had over the music portion of Pac's estate.
Johnny J doesnt get the respect he deserves. Rest In Peace. Being mexican/ American or chicano its my duty to lace pac fans up on how he helped pac make his biggest hits.
I totally agree. He made classic Pac joints and they were genuinely comfortable working together with a real friendship.
Facts!
Not only that. Most of us Really don't believe that Johnny J committed suicide. Why, when he had so much to live for. Just saying.
@Pepe Lopez i thought he was cuban
Seeeing him on camera he didnt seem like the kinda dude to go to jail.
More people need to give Johnny J his due, underrated af
Why you by the window wats wrong daddy!! My favorite Johnny J/2pac track since the first time i herd it at 15..im bouta be 41 in a cpl days RIP Johnny &PAC
I remember as a kid reading the notes in the album and seeing Johnny J on each song and wondering who that was (I'm in Australia with dial up: early days internet).
@@IGStrangDaKang Death around the corner, such a good song one of my faves as well
RIP Jose JonnyJ the Cuban militant 🕊💯
He just sampled beats. Didn’t create anything organically
Changes always make me cry to know Pac wrote that song at 19, definitely gives it more meaning now....Pac is the GOAT
I’m still so disappointed in that “All Eyez On Me” movie. It was so basic. It was like generic bullet points of Tupac’s life from Wikipedia rather than a deep story of a complex individual/icon.
It wasn’t even close to the level of other biopics. Ray, Malcom X, Selena, Bohemian Rhapsody, Ali, Straight Outta Compton, etc...
It supposedly had a $40 million budget but it looked so low budget.
Faaaaaaactz
LT Hutton fucking destroyed that movie, I was soo looking forward to that movie and then he pulls that shit.
That shit was poorly produced and was a rush job..it was all hype and a money grab
Word up ....
That bullshit ass movie was one long ass music video i couldve lived my life without ever seeing...smh wasted a blunt watching that BS
2Pac said it in an interview don’t just bob your head because the song had a good beat to it the message could be trash
That's pretty much all of today's music.
INTERACTION - 2Pac
Que Man A song doesnt need to have a message in it
@@dgrdaz2332 really? Then u haven't read alot my friend. That's why the narrative keeps changing in music. From, peace & love, to fight the power & educate oneself, to now trap drug dealing and getting high. Read on it ahk.
dgr DaZ - No it doesnt. This was based on what EDI said and the interview from ‘96
Tupac was like Kobe Bryant of Hiphop...He was so ahead of his time. When he died, everybody realized why he was working so hard. R.I.P to both!
I'm a jordan fan, but out of tupac jordan and kobe, tupac is number 1, all time great...he will be talked about more than the other two
If My Homies Call was also a banger off 2pacalypse Now. Glad don't really know hip hop like that...
If* My Homies Call
Papaz song
ThunderDomeBoxingTalk Papaz Song is on Strictly 4 My...
EASILY the BEST song on the album
Violent was🔥
“They say Vlads got a baby, but Vlads barely got a brain.”
🤣🤣🤣
A damn shame lol
"A damn shame he can hardly spell his name"
“It’s not our problem it’s up to Vlads family”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Edi-The beat was a back drop for the message - Facts. His vocals are an instrument 🎷
Not a 100% - by Thug Life, MAWT ... he started paying attention differently. Check "Thug Angel" where Shock G broke this down. The music had to fit the emotion of the lyrics, and you Clearly hear that on MATW
💯💯💯 dj Vlad don’t understand that 🤣
Glad said trapped was aahh, wtf is he speaking about. Trapped was mainly for blacks folks, That's why you didn't feel it..
Vlad can never feel the conscious, pain and struggle lyrics that had a intellect message to the song. That's why he always hating on Nas over beats and don't listen to the actual lyrics to a song
Trapped is by far my fave song by Pac, I’m glad they talked about it. Such an underrated song.
Dude be a real cornball sometimes asking how did his sister feel when her mother and brother died! How the fuck you think she felt!!
@@hennessyapplejuice8331 Exactly dumb ass question
He's white and from the burbs
Man the 90s was wild as shit.. the thug life moment was definitely forreal.. alot of brothas died
Thug life was weak unkess u had someone more militant like dmx running it
@@dmxisbetterthantupac6528 shut up fool toilet bowl head ass
Everybody was a tough guy for no reason. Yall lucky because the kendricks, coles and drakes actually created a lane where u did not have to be the tough guy. Yall can thank kayne west for that
Earl Simmons dmx was on Crack bro
@@dmxisbetterthantupac6528 You embarrassing the great DMX yo.chill homie chill.
Johnny J doesn’t get enough credit because Dre received too much credit.
Facts!!!! That nigga Daz doesn't get enough either him and Pac made incredible songs together
Dr Dre =unworkFor credit
Mad fact, pac didn’t need dre, he had johnny
I'll take Johnny J over Dre just my opinion
Fkc dre
Glad would die to interview Pac sister
Everyone close to her would be like nah bro. Glads always on some detective shit. Glad would not be able to contain himself.
@@SilverrulezGaming Crooked cover up detective shit
Not Glad 😂🤦🏾♂️🤣
Lol
It'd be dope though... she deserves her privacy obviously. Still interesting... 😉
Pac can flow 'A Cappella' easily. The words are his potency. The beats are the bonuses. Salute to the G.O.A.T. 🐐💯
I feel u but in this case johnny j was ver important piece on the machine, johnny j and pac its only one u dont listen one without other one
Pac’s sister should have full control of his estate✊🏾
💯💯
Thats ignorant asf to say about Pac's legacy.
@This Lost but his sister is a fan too do she probably would be good.
@This Lost This means she wasn't really in control. They just put her face on TV and the behind the scenes work was done by pale faces as usual.
labrae okay black face. Doesn't sound friendly does it?
Me against the world
Pac best album 👌
It should've been called pac in the LGBTQ communities
I only fully heard his first 2(Strictly for my...)
Sam Rodgers.Pac was for everyone,he also fought for people like yourself being you're from the alphabet community. Tupac spoke to the heart.
Fact
@@kemechin37 Take no notice of this weirdo Sam Rodgers. This nutcase is on every Tupac related video trolling typing the same bs over and over.
Johnny J should have WAY more recognition than he does. He produced so many tracks for the "All Eyez on Me" album. Tracks like All about U, Thug Passion, How Do U Want It, Shorty wanna be a Thug, Check Out Time, Run The Streetz, Picture Me Rollin. He also did Never Had a Friend Like Me, Pour out a little Liquor. And also did Bizzy Bones When Thugs Cry. Very underrated but peep game and recognize! He had that perfect sound for the 90's. R.I.P. 🇲🇽
He also did " r u still down" jon b and pac🔥
🙌🏾💯❤️❤️💯🙌🏾
RIP JOHNNY J one of the most under rated producers in the game and 90s. He was murdered for his royalties n publication during the Death Row drama.
Yeeep!! Correct Johnny never had to work another day in his life
Johnny J lived in my home town (Melbourne Florida)when he was a kid. My grandfather dated his mom.
He jumped off a teir in prison he was fucking talented and great.
@Wayne Green that nigga greenlighted him. Ain't no way he killed himself but jumping off, or falling off if he had 2 months, and 2 million owed to him. Hell nah, that's fucked up. R.i.p. he was one of my favorite producers, he killed "check out time"
I’m glad he understands that he is part of history & tell stories to keep the legacy alive
He's not the last surviving member on Hit em up Castro still alive he just doesn't rap and Napoleon still is alive unless I'm missing something
And Dru Down was on the intro to All About U and he's still alive too besides Snoop
Castro and Napoleon are very much alive still but they didn’t have any verses on Hit Em Up
He's talking about being only one alive who has a verse on the song
Facts
Mopreme is still alive.
He's lucky to still be here. It's blessing to see a new day.
I’d also be crushed if I was the only person left alive, especially being a part of such an iconic song and moment
Fa real. I can kinda relate, being the only one of my former circle that’s not dead or in prison. Two were killed and two got life in prison on separate crimes. Since I managed to do only three years on a case back in the 90’s, I’m the only one around today that knows our story firsthand, as opposed to all the clowns spreading secondhand rumors for attention. I know what EDI feels on that note 🤷🏾♂️
Vlad don't know a lot about hip hop history. Sounds like a casual fan. Doesn't even know what songs are on 2pac's albums.
I never get years messed up. People would tell him a year and he'll still forget it 3 or 4 interviews down
EXACTLY! its obvious often. typical whiteboy culture vulture . likes hip hop but doesnt really know hip hop..
Chill out it's been like 20 years lol did you know a black motorist killed a Police for getting pulled over because of inspiration from 2Pac lyrics
Ask vlad about bruce Springsteen's album songs
@@damienwilliams9010 all they know is the hit songs on the radio smh. That's why I can't talk hiphop with them.
2pacalypse now standouts were: Brenda's got a baby. When my homies call. Part time mother (the last song)was the best song on there‼️
Pac got a baby, pac makes a b00ty call, pac is a mother should've been the legit titles of that fruity ballerina 🤣🌈🧚♀️
@@2pacisgay955 Hater
Don’t forget about “Soulja’s Story.”
@@FCB_818 traitor
GTA had the best song from that album. Idgaf is the only reason I bought it
There was no better combination than the 2pac/Johnny J combination. Just like the DMX and Swizz Beatz combination. Like a hand in a glove it was the perfect fit.
Public Enemy and Hank Shocklee's Bomb Squad Trump pac shit by far
Rza and WuTang hit harder too
And it had to be stopped
Can’t compare wu tang n rza , Dre and snoop and prodigy and havoc
No lies 🤥 told 🙌🏾💯🔥🐐🐐🔥💯🙌🏾
Pac’s first album was his best in my eyes. The whole thing was a banger.
Agreed
2pacalypse now!
PAC made changes at 19? Wow. One of my favorite songs from him
Hit em up is my favorite diss song at all time thank u and RIP 2Pac 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
To me the OutLawz is the best team of rappers ever. All of them had a deep message that I appreciate.
Nothing ages you faster than the continuous loss of loved ones.
Wrote “Changes” at 19? WOW! That’s a timeless record.
Unbelievable 🤦♂️ the greatest diss track of all time 🙌 down. Edi the last one left😪 it's so crazy sad but at the same time Edi your a living legend in my book.
his not the last one left, kastro and napoleon are still alive...he must of forgot that or something
@@krispy395 Napoleon was on the hit em up music video but he didn't have a verse on the song.
I was lucky enough to see PAC perform. Just take a few seconds to think about what he achieved at such a young age and now think what he would have achieved if he was still around.
Think this is the 1st time hearing him talk about Pac's sister and their child
Pacs family always looked homeless and on drugs
@J K your generation z already makes itself look bad with face tatts and dresses
Sam Rodgers lmao facts these niggas mad acting like they know any of them😂
@J K LOL. Your comment had me crying 😂😭😭😭
@Mr Potato Head 😆
"How did she take the death of her brother?"
This is 2020, that's a stupid ass question.
Right? How do you think a family member would take the death of another? Stupid ass questions...was he waiting for " she was jumping for joy?" 🤦
Yeah I didn't get that Question how u thought she would take the death of her bother 🤬
Vlad literally has 0 interviewing skills. Funny how any nigga with a social media platform can call himself a interviewer
Yeah and let me compare losing my elderly father to her 25 brother being murdered smfh
He said the death of her mother not brother.
R.I.P Johnny J!!!! One bad Mexican!!
“How did she take the death of her brother Tupac?”
Glad come on Glad, the entire world loved Pac, how do you think she took it?😒🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
The irony of Vlad pretending to understand that 2pac didn’t care about beats his message was more important. Meanwhile continues to bash Nas for beat picking as if he doesn’t have messages in his music..
NaS must’ve hit one of his girls or something back in the day
How did his sister feel when he died? What kind of question is that? 😂
Its a dumb ass question, one of those vlad questions lol
Another classic stupid question...
Vlad stupid. I Woulda gave him a slick response
Yeah that question blew my mind, dam Vlad!
"They say Vlads got a baby, but Vlads barely got a brain."
Trapped is about what's going on now. Brenda Got A Baby, Soulja Story, Violent, Part-time Mutha, When My Homies Call...2pacalypse Now is a solid album
2pacaypse Now to me is the best album with a message and was so underrated. Trapped is a dope track, If my homie calls is a banger, Soulja Story and the list goes on..
Daz Dillinger and Johnny J are two of the most underrated producers to date. Daz and Johnny J produced more bangers off All Eyez On Me then Dr. Dre did.
Vlad trippen 2pacalypse now was a classic i enjoyed that generally more than the strictly album
Strictly for my....??? Finish the album name lol
True!!!
He went on my wall after the first listen to the cd
@@martysanders Niggaz
I think Pac had a unique way of motivating people present past and furure
“How did she take the death of her mother???” C’mon Fam
Vlad wanted to hear some specifics.
This guy is so solid and wise , Respect ✊ EDI real ones should be praised more !
Napoleon still living he was in hit em up too💯✊🏾
No he wasn’t bruh
@@Isaiah024 yes he was you fucking idiot
@@Isaiah024 go look at the video dumbass
@@errorproductions2408 he’s talking about who was On actual record not in the video. ... duhhhhhhhhh
Kastro too
They WACKED JOHNNY J THEN GOT BIG FRANK
Facts.....Reggie know wats up
Yes sir
Why tho?jus cuz they was owed monies??
Idk what Vlad talking about because "Violent " was the precursor to what we saw from Pac
My favorite song on that album . What's yours ?
“These hypocrites are having fits... and I’m not buying it.”
If my homie call was a great song and that was on his first album
When my homies call, damn right..... Classic.
Yup
Brenda’s got a baby
Trapped
When my homies call
Soulja’s story
Violent was a classic too
King Dre facts
"Don't give a fuck" as well.
Part time mutha
If my homies call
Funny how he says Trapped was ehhh...... That's how you know he didn't get it..or gets the struggle....that was the one that got me as a kid growing up..."You know they got me trapped in this prison of seclusion / Happiness, living on the streets is a delusion" -RIP Pac
Exactly .. I’m like Vlad straight culture vulture & don’t even understand the struggle .. smh .. wow ..
I felt like “all eyez on me” was just rushing to the end where PAC was shot
Real soul music lasts............even in rap songs. Some of Pac’s best songs are absolutely timeless.
peep how clad only names singles. he’s a casual. something wicked-if my homies called was all gems Pac always had a message that made him STAND OUT
100 percent
he always only name single like he haven't heard the album vlad lame
Kastro, Napolean and Young Noble are the Only remaining Outlawz left with E.D.I!
Storm Nutt-so
@@n.vanh.7666 stretch wasnt part of the Outlawz
Vlad doesn’t understand Trapped because he’s not black 🤣🤣
You don't have to be black to understand that song. Whites and Mexicans in the hood are treated the same as blacks. It's not a racial issue in this country. It's a money class issue. If you are poor you will be oppressed. Skin color isn't the reason.. Television programming has you programmed to believe otherwise and in turn has made you a racist.
Rusty Shackleford A wealthy black man is not equal to a white man in a trailer park. What you are doing is trying to convince me racism doesn’t exist that doesn’t work with me sorry
@@crenshawveteran9443 I used to think just like you. Then one day I decided to speak proper English pick my pants up and quit committing crimes. Haven't had a problem since. If you carry yourself with respect you will get respect regardless of melanin.
Rusty Shackleford And the hook on 2 pac’s song Trapped was “ You can’t keep the black man down”. So yes it was written for BLACK men. If any other race adopted it coo but it was FUBU for us by us💯
@@crenshawveteran9443 that's not the point. The point is all people are being oppressed based on economic standings not skin color. There is only one race, the human race. all that racism crap does nothing for me. Stay up
"I told 2pac to keep his head up" - T.K Kirkland
😂😂😂
Omg, that statement is true... Huge fan since 1996, it was a whole other story then... Tupac + Outlawz changed my life for sure. Appreciate Vlad's perspective on that first 2Pacalypse Now album, let's all keep it real on where we were
I worked on Pac's memorial in Atlanta under Gobi and Tracy and it had the darkest saddest feeling. Yaki had gotten shot in the head a day before so everyone was all tripped out. The whole time I was there I was praying non stop.
Vlad you didnt get Apacolypse now because you was a LAME! that whole thing was a classic.
FACTZ same thing I was thinking when he said that. like huh??? get this culture vulture tha fck outta here
Truss me. Trapped is a classic
"Chuuch"
Y'all know Glad ain't tapped in like that smfh😂🤦🏾♀️
i got the album but in all honesty it really wasn't that good theres a few standout tracks but its definitely his weakest work and not an album i would consider classic
No one:
Vlad: So how did Tupac's sister take the death of her mother and Tupac?
He is obsessed with Tupac
@@serterriamonet4580 He brings up Eminem the most
EDI MEAN is heartbroken when he said everyone passed apart from him from the hit em up song , that's so sad he miss them
Rest easy Pac and Mrs. Afeni Shakur,803
Fun fact: Johnny J lived in my hometown (Melbourne Fl) when he was a kid. My grandfather dated his mother.
Really? In Melbourne Florida?
FashoTimeProductions yep true story. She was cheating on his dad with my grandfather.
James Jackson wow I stay in Melbourne Florida now. Didn’t know he use to live here
Yes!!!! Actually Palm Bay. But practically the same thing lol

Wait till the full interview comes out
😁😁
You are crazy bruh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro, this got me curious! What was his favorite food though? Really want to know now
Edi was the lyricist of the outlaws bruh,Hands down son!!!

I was in the studio when they recorded hit em up💯 RIP to all my brothers from the record🙏
😂😂😂really?
Soulja's Story and Violent were the two best jams on Pac's first record.
Trapped was the first single, nobody paid attention until after Juice came out, and Bishop flashed across that screen, after the movie dropped and was a success that's when he dropped Brenda's got a baby, that album went platinum based off of that, next up was I get around, which instantly went platinum, all the ladies was fucking with pac and everything after that was platinum plus, set aside from staying in the news with all the court cases, robberies, and set ups..Dude was the coldest to ever do this rap shit Glad...Pac was a man's man💯 Legendary figure...-Trusno🖤
When My Homies Call was on the 1st album, one of the greatest SONGS EVER, cant forget Violent either. If niggas stop talkin & listenin to what everybody else say & go back & listen carefully to Pac, they will realize aint no way in HELL ANYBODY CAN EVER FUCK WITH HIM, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Trapped was the standout to me everybody I knew fw it when it 1st came out

Sounds to me like EDI is ready to move forward by leaving the past in the past. And as he should!!!
When you think about it, this is beyond sad. Smh.
Very sad to see lot of the people who with Tupac are gone
If Vlad felt that way about 2pacalypse Now, he's definitely not a TRUE fan of Tupac.
That whole album was the shit when it came out! 💯
