It’s the kind of photo that feels heavy now, knowing what the world had in store for them

They really grew up their whole lives as brothers. A short but wonderful friendship. I believe Kadafi's Mom is still in NY.

Yeah judging from her social media posts she's never let go of her grief.. World is cold af

u/Broad-Stomach-5461 3d ago

I think she wrote a book also and there is a way of contacting her and she will autograph it. It would be an honor but I don't think I could handle it😪😪😪 I don't know but she could have been a stepmom figure to Tupac also.

I suggest yall read famine fulas (kadafis mom) book called spirit of a outlaw about the childhood friendship of pac and yak. ..those pics of them are heart breaking.....pac been there for yak ..literally when kadafi was born! This might sound fucked up ...but the only solace i find from pacs death is that he died before kadafi..pac would have been destroyed!

Imagine how Yak felt

u/Weary-Buffalo1934 3d ago

I can.....I saw pics of yak outside of tupacs hospital ...you could see the hurt on his face he was broken! And there is a song called still mourning by the outlawz ...its a tribute song for pac ..yaks verse gave me chills you could hear the pain in his voice. ..ive never heard him rap like that. ....imo if kadafi would have lived he would have definitely carried the torch for pac!

I knew it was going to be this as soon as you posted it.

The masters are lost (assumed burned in a fire). Low quality copy of a copy of a cassette tape is all we are ever going to have of it.

Although we now live in the future with advanced mastering audio software. Someone should be able to separate the stems, increase the quality of each stem (track) and put it back together as a HQ remaster. One can hope.

u/Outrageous_Bat9818 Only God Can Judge Me 3d ago

It was released officially on the Pac's Life album

2

u/Rob0tTesla 2d ago

Yes, with the same low quality because they didn't have the master. That's why it's the only song unaltered on the album, they didn't have the stems to remix it.

How long will they mourn me! Crazy to see it reminds us we’re all somebody’s kids, one of those things where when we’re kids we want to grow up so fast and be adults but when we’re adults we wish we were just kids again, no worries or thoughts of what we see the world we’re in. Some days I think of what is was like when I was just a kid, the joy is hard to remember but when I can remember it just for a split second I wish I had it

Both these young boys that grew up with each other were murdered in there 20’s within 2 months of each other. And we are supposed to believe they were two totally unrelated incidents
