Now on how the Outlawz met. Kastro (K-Dogg) is cousins with Tupac. He lived in Atlanta along with Edi Amin (Big Mal). They were very close and grew up together. Edi and Kastro's mothers were also very close. Also, they knew Kadafi (Yak) really well, and Kadafi is from New Jersey. So it started with those 3. Now Napoleon who is also from New Jersey, his family knew Kadafi's family very good. Kadafi's mom and Napoleon's aunt were really close. Kadafi birthday was like 2 days before Napoleon's birthday. So they always celebrated birthdays together. Then was like a period of time when they havnt seen eachother or talked to eachother. Then when they saw eachother again, Napoleon found out Kadafi was rhyming, and Kadafi's mom told Napoleon that Kadafi was Tupac's half-brother. So right there you have what was called 'Dramacydal'. The 4 members were Edi (Big Mal), Kastro (K-Dogg), Napoleon (Mutah), and Kadafi (Yak). Tupac took all them and they moved to Atlanta.

Now at this time a few new members would join, which later came to be known as the Outlawz. Hussein Fatal knew Kadafi well too. And Young Noble was from Kadafi's block. Young Noble also has family in Southern California. So all 6 then hooked up when they moved to Los Angeles, California. Now Tupac talked to all the members from Thug Life and wanted them to be in the Outlawz as well to make it be 10 members. Here's the scoop on that. Rated R could not join cause he had jail problems. Macadoshis did not join cause he did not want to be around Suge Knight. He told Pac that Suge was no good, and he had seen some of the stuff that Suge would do to people. He talked about one time they were all at the mountains, and it was freezing cold, and how Suge Knight made a guy take off his clothes in front of everyone, and made him stand outside, where it was snowing, butt naked, and some of them laughed. Macadoshis said he didn't want to be around that. Big Syke (Mussollini) and Mophreme (Konami) went along to join the Outlawz as well. They did not just leave the group Thug Life, they were and are still in Thug Life, but they are also Outlawz as well. Now you have 8 Outlaw members NOT including Tupac in that number. The Outlawz later hooked up with Storm, who is the female Outlaw, and now they have 9 members. Storm has a scar on her face, and is said to be really crazy in the head. Tupac always thought she was sorta a female version of him in a way. I feel Storm could crush ANY female rapper out there if they went head to head, including Eve, Trina, MC Lyte, whoever. Later, Young Ritzy (Gonzoe) joined the group. Besides Gonzoe who joined late, the other 9 Outlawz were put together very fast.

The Outlawz are not gangsta rap. They started thug rap with tupac, but now they are past that. A lot of people say how 2Pac lyrics affect them and their lives. 2Pac trained them, and when you hear their lyrics they are very powerful. What they have to say is better then a lot of the commercial bull-shit that it getting played everyday on most radio stations and MTV. They came with the single 'Baby Dont Cry' as their first single. A lot of people wondered, and some critized the move. They felt women needed to hear this song right now. The Outlawz dont just want a hot record right now, they want to be great forever, and that's where the word 'Immortalz' came from, which is why they are the Outlaw Immortalz. 2Pac told them, make records for the girls, dont try to impress guys, the girls are the ones who buy the records, also, they know a song like that will be played on forever, down the line, people will be listening to baby dont cry ya gotta keep yea head up.

The Good Die Young is a song that will touch home on a lot of us. This is another version of Life Goes on. Just listen to the lyrics. Napoleon, who was raised without his parents, who were killed... Young Noble saying which is worst, Storm, Al, Pac or Yak? The Storm he is referring to is Nico Storm, NOT the female Outlaw Storm. Nico was someone they knew in New Jersey. He is also mention by Hussein Fatal on his solo album. Kastro in the song talks about the way the world is, things that are happening these days, that are very true. Then Edi says that if you dont raise ya kids right, you'll see exactly why the Good Dies young... Now, just hearing that alone, does that make you think, wow that was a great message to send? If not, you need help, and you are brainwashed too damn much by commercial music, and you are a MTV clone.

The song 'As The Word Turns' is another powerful track, with the Outlawz. Tupac said it best at the end of the song: Money come and go, hoes come and go, friends come and go, foes come and go, but his soldiers stay eternal. The Outlawz will forever keep Makaveli alive. NO ONE else is!!! Napoleon says "nigga talking thug, walking all thru your squad"... he's talking about the FAKE tough guys like Mobb Deep. Saying thug life is still theirs. That's Bull-shit, they never started Thug life, or Thug rap. He also says in his verse, he serves 'em, like Pac told him too. Edi talking about the haters only came, when 2Pac was ready to catch his millions. Just a very powerful song.

Another song is 'U Can Be Touched'. This basicly says no one on this earth is more then another person. Just cause you think you have it all, or you think no one can harm you, U can still be touched. A quote from Napoleon in the song is "I ain't afraid to die, I want to see what's after this. I'm living blind writing rhymes til they capture this. And if we die let the world understand why". That right there is a powerful statement. Saying he's aint afraid to die, and that he wants to see whats after this life. Kastro says "My nigga.. Lonnie just got hit with 10... 10 years. For trusting a friend, they left him stuck in the Penn"... A lesson on trust right there. Trusting a friend, and sometimes that is what trust get's you, in the hospital, in jail, or even killed. You hear Young Noble say "Even when we get a job, we fucking it up. Like it can't happen to us, I could never be a bum. Yeah right, you wound up one"... Basicly someone saying I cant be tocuhed, I would never be a bum, and he says yeah right, you COULD be one. So basicly this song U Can Be Touched is saying in many ways of life, everyone can be touched, weather it's no longer havin a job, money, a house, or even living and being alive, U CAN be touched!

When the Outlawz worked with Pac, whoever came up with their flow verse got on a song. That taught them. They could never take a beat home. They would record 3 songs in one day. FULL SONGS. Below are the meaning of what Outlawz and Thug Life, and below that you will find information on each Outlaw along with a picture of each person. There is also quotes from the Outlawz songs. If you havn't, read the quotes, act as if someone is telling you what they are saying, and you will also feel the powerful meaning of their words.

Who was the real Makaveli that Tupac looked up to with such respect? Click on the picture and take a look at Nicolo Machiavelli and his work that Tupac studied at the Baltimore School of Arts!

What was Makaveli Records?

Makaveli records was the record company which Tupac founded and planned to take to new levels once his contract was fulfilled with Death Row Records.

What's next for Makaveli Records?

I am under the impression that nothing will ever happen with Makaveli Records. All of Tupac's unreleased material will be released on Amaru Records, his mother's label. As for One Nation, if it isn't cancelled, I have heard it will be a double CD and one CD will come out on Duckdown Records and one on Death Row or Amaru Records. As for the Outlawz, I heard that they signed or were waiting to sign with Death Row.

Who are The Outlaw Immortalz?

They were Tupac's crew and back up group. They appeared on the All Eyez on Me and Makaveli albums. The Outlawz used to be a part of a larger group called the Plague, but they fell apart and Tupac selected certain members and named them the Outlaw Immortalz. My source tells me that Tupac attended a talent search after he got out of jail in search of new talent for his back-up group. The prize was a chance to record with a Death Row artist. This show was reportedly held somewhere in New York and a guy from Montclair, New Jersey had put members of the Plague in the show. There were reportedly 30 members of the Plague but most of them fell off and had run ins with the law etc... My source also told me that the Outlawz still haven't finished the album and that they were considering to breaking up afterwards. The group went under the aliases of world dictators. They were:

Hussein Fatal
Castro
Napoleon
Mussolini-(Big Syke)
Khomeini
Kadafi-(Yafeu Fula)
E.D.I. Mean-(Malcolm Greenridge)
Young Noble

Kadafi was the Immortal who was killed in New Jersey in November. He was the only person that agreed to identify Tupac's killer. I have spoken with friends of a couple of the Immortalz and they believed that his death had nothing to do with Tupac.

What is the "One Nation" album?

This album is supposedly an album which Tupac was working on to calm the East\West beef and settle it as just Tupac vs. Bad Boy. Here is the story as to how the album came about: Right now Bad Boy has beef with the Boot Camp Click which consists of Heltah Skeltah (2 members), Originoo Gunn Clapazz (OGC- 3 members) and Smiff N Wessun (a.k.a Cocoa Brovaz- 2 members) Buckshot and Dru Ha because a member of the Boot Camp (Starange Wondah of OGC) was beat down by two of Biggie's boys. So any beef you hear Bad Boy talking, it's mainly directed toward the BCC and Bad Boy critics. You should also notice that Puffy mentions player haters in his new song, of which Tupac is not, but Puffy refers to Jeru the Damaja, De La Soul, The Roots, and the Boot Camp (all of which liked Tupac especially after "Hit Em' Up for exposing Bad Boy and Biggie as fake rappers, that of which gave other MC's the heart to stand up and speak against Bad Boy). The Boot Camp beef started about the same time as the Tupac beef with Bad Boy, on the Heltah Skeltah album on the secret CD bonus track 17 which isn't listed on the back of the album, they talk about not liking commercial rap which was directed toward Biggie and Puffy, Foxy Brown and Jay-Z. Plus on the new OGC video they have a carricature of Biggie being pushed off the stage. Since they all had beef against Bad Boy, Tupac got together with the BCC for the One Nation album to calm the beef. The entire BCC album comes out on February 25 and is BELIEVED- by my sources to contain at least one Tupac song off of the One Nation album. The actual One Nation album release date is still unavailable.
