Even if it is away from the music itself.

         • During the conversation, the “Retro Flow” rapper also spoke about his name getting involved in Nicki Minaj’s leaked text messages to Safaree, where she got mad at her ex for showing Herbo a gun in the studio. The Chicago rapper told us that despite Nicki seeming mad in the texts from that night, she was open and welcoming in the studio.

   • MC Eiht: 2Pac Went Backwards By Affiliating Himself with Gangs
     • Profile
       • MC Eiht opens up about celebrities and their gang affiliation during this interview with DJ Vlad. The Compton native and Crip member talks about knowing Tupac and explains how his connection with gangs led to his demise. The rapper says that Tupac began stamping himself with the Mob Piru in hopes to show loyalty, but says the star didn’t have to prove anything.
       • “It’s certain things that you don’t do just to want to belong.” He explained that it was always Pac’s choice, but nonetheless, he didn’t have to pursue that lifestyle, “They shouldn’t like you no better if you were a rapper or if—hey, now you got to put this rag in your back pocket.”
       • Nearly 20 years after Tupac’s death, singer Chris Brown is now in a similar position for his affiliation with Bloods. The Tappahannock, Virginia native was thrown into immediate stardom as a teen, and now at 26, he’s a multimillionaire, with many accolades, linked to one of the biggest gangs. Although Brown is scrutinized, MC Eight says gangbanging has changed since his young days.
       • “It’s not a life and death situation. When I gangbanged it was a life and death situation. I didn’t get to go to Grammy parties when I was gangbanging and even when I started rapping, I was still affiliating myself. So it was more for me being accepted going back to the block as to getting invited to somebody’s party.”

The Compton native suggested that Suge’s success may have gotten him caught up in his recent trial, “Money and power will side-track the s*** out of you if you ain’t the type of mother f***** who knows how to handle power and money.” Despite seeing most people in the industry get swallowed up by their fame and fortune, he says people should remain grounded and remember their roots.
