No. Was Tupac a gangbanger? No. Weirdly, was Sugnight a gangbanger? No.
Sug Knight, you know, head of Death Roe Records, was from Compton. He was a football marching band kid, you know, who surrounded himself with gangbangers. Tupac was like, F that guy, I'm not letting him come. Diggy was dumbfounded. Uh, Tupac held him in blame for his shooting at Quad Studios.
