I did say that Tupac wouldnt be included in this particular article "Before my time" article and i will keep my word. Although when Pac signed to the Row he brought along, the Outlawz (Formerly Dramacydle, then Outlaw Immortalz then simply Outlawz) featured them on virtually any track that mattered and man that was something else.
Fatal Hussein, EDI, Kastro, Young Noble, Khadafi (RIP i feel would have become an East Coast Vet), Mussolini, Napoleon & Mo Khomeini. Much as the Bi-Coastal thing was at its peak then, most of these dudes were actually from the East Coast (New Jersey to be exact) .Even though the group would remain intact after Pacs death minus a couple members i still think the Outlawz didn't capitalize effectively on the kind of buzz that Pac had built around them being free agents at the time and having been featured on "hit em Up" "Hail Mary" and a million other pac songs i feel like they missed out big time on what could have been a very great opportunity.
Being young at the time definitely might have been a problem but ultimatlely every rap group since then, 50 Cent (G-Unit), Cam'ron (Dipset), The Lox (D-Block) etc have used that same model to try break their proteges.
