http://www.hardknock.tv Devi Dev talks Tupac (2Pac) with Quincy Jones, Quincy Jones III (QD3), Tyrese Gibson, Andrew Young, Jeff Johnson and John Hope Bryant at 5MK (5 Million Kids) launch event. QD3 and Quincy Jones share their memories of Tupac and discuss how his music was about to shift before he got shot. Ive been told by more than a few people close to Pac that he was going to leave Death Row and tone down the thug persona. A step in this direction was the One Nation album that he recorded with Boot Camp Clik that has never been released and was intended to help squash West/East Coast tension at the time. This is Part 1 and We are just getting started! Tune in next week for more on this 5MK round table where the legendary panel talks, Lil Wayne, Re-Defining the meaning of Success, 5 Million Kids and why we keep dumbing ourselves down, among other topics.
