Tupac : Imma always shine through, cause it's in my essence, and that's what always come through. And I feel like that's true, now alot of people be like "that's blasphemy" or, "he's acting elitist, he's like the muslims, he 's a 5 Percenter" it's nothing like that, it's only- our future is our confidence, our self esteem.. All this rape the gang banging and killing, 30 niggas fucking one girl, it all come from a low self-esteem and low confidence, soon as we get- cause I don't think like that, I don't think let me fuck 30 bitches, I don't even think like I wanna be in a room with other niggas fucking bitches, I don't think like that no more. And not cause of jail. But cause of my confidence, my self-esteem, my self respect, I don't need that. But in the ghetto that's the type of shit that we're taught. It's like in the army, you're taught to kill, so you kill. We're taught that. By older niggas, we're taught that the only thing we good for is our sexuality. Now I used that to make money. But, I reinforce my strenght, my mind strenght. That's what's more important to me now. Now niggas see that it's no accident.
I plotted every single step, from this to this, everything is plotted
Rob Marriot : That's what you called Killuminati - that's really what the killuminati is about
Tupac : That's why I put a K to it. Cause niggas be talking to me about this illuminati shit while I'm in jail. That's another way to keep our self esteem low. That's another way to keep you unconfident. And i'm putting the K cause i'm killing that illuminati shit. Trust me, if these motherfuckers wanted to kill you why the fuck they gon' tell Farakhan why they gon' tell the Nation of Islam, why they gon' tell this nigga in jail about the plan ? How do he know ? How did it leak to here, who told him ? The pope ? Who ? Cause they're like "the pope and the money" come on man, get the fuck outta here. You're so thinking about the money you're not getting the money. Get the money nigga I don't give a fuck whose face on there as long as its my face point- put that money and they accept it. And they do, believe me I tried it I tried to - everywhere I go with money they let you in. Trust me, that's all it is, it's all about money. When you got money you got power. If we unify, I guarantee if people keep supporting me, just buying my records, just going to my concerts, just supporting me Imma keep giving money. Right, Makaveli ? Everytime it go platinum i'm putting money up - and I ain't putting it out there right, i'm just doing it. Everytime it go platinum somebody gon get a big check. That's real. Not for nothing but just like I really do love motherfuckers who giving me this power. Its like being elected, I feel like being an elected official.

Tupac : The Italians I speak about, who were truly great men. And I find any great man, black or white, i'm gonna study him learn him so he can't be great to me no more. Like Machiaveli, and that's why I don't say - my name is not Machiaveli, my name is Makaveli. I took it, that's mine. He gave me that you know what I mean, I took that and I don't feel no guilt. That motherfucker all these motherfuckers stole from us forever, i'm taking back what's mine. Its just that they recorded it when he said it, its probably something he stole from us that they didn't let us record. So there's no shame. I'm not always like people bashing like they are on some- why is niggas into such Italian mob shit ? Its not about Italians to me. But all about studying, the CIA, America, I hate America as- as for what we did, but I love us for being strong, you gotta do that
So what we don't got a good image ? we the strongest motherfucking nation. That's me- that's me right, fucking here. You know I mean, I don't give a fuck if ya'll don't like me I got the bomb can't nobody touch me, or nobody rush me. Some' we doing right: that's the capitalism shit, cause you could feed your kids with that tho. All that other shit, you can't feed your kids with that, if you can't feed your kids you can't have a nation. So that's what's more important there. To me - uh take the discipline the seriousness and the bond that the mafia had, the moral the principles that the Black Panthers had, the strenght that the Black Panthers had, to take the camaradery and the "go all out mentality", "all of us as a team" that the police has. To take "the nation as first" attitude "whatever gotta do to be number 1" that the United States has, that's what makes me unstoppable. And take that nigga attitude that makes me look at all that shit, study and learn, and take the young African American mentality exhibited and take the businessman, take the president, take the philosopher to be able to break it down into actual philosophy and that's what Killuminati is.
But it's up to you to bring it to the people around who gon' have a East Coast / West Coast war; cause i'm not battling down, i'm not gonna say "everything I did was righteous by the rules of war" you know I mean and they gotta recognize that. But it's really like - right now it's not New York, cause NY got love, its the writers the radio people who using this as - someway they don't know what to talk about. Just like you sat there talking about that niggerdom shit, you could sit down and think how you can make people see it as clear as it is, just like you- we on the same level. You look at things and you figure out how there a bigger plan to it. You know there gotta be a bigger plan to shit that's happening. Like you saying about me and Biggie being like pumped, thats how i'm looking at it - like I look at the rap game like how it is, every couple month there's a whole new genre, they got a whole bunch of writers talking about gangsta rap is dead, those are the ones that don't like gangsta rap. That's like the writers who don't like Republicans. They do that thing, they spin it- (propaganda). Then there's the other ones that are like "Tupac shot in the back" those are the ones who love it, those are the radio people that love it. Our job basically is not to- I don't want to see them dead cause .. The other side being what the other side is what makes me a best man.
You know what I found when I was in jail ? What fucked me up, what turned me like this, is I was like : No politician is even getting at us - no politician is even checking the poor, they're not sending us- they're not even thinking of us. In the business you know when you wanna fuck with somebody .. they are not even looking at us like that. That means we ain't a threat, by the next election I promise by the next election I'll be sitting accross with all the candidates, I bet you ! you know i'll - I promise you ! I'm gon' be so far from where I am now in four years. God willing i'm alive. You know I guarantee we WILL have our own community for us, and it won't be just for blacks, it's gon' be for mexicans, it's gon' be for armenian I don't give a fuck, all you lost tribes motherfuckers right now we need to have our own political party cause we all have the same motherfucking problem, we built this nation and we getting none of the benefits.
I already have famous records hit, im in this shit for the honor and respect that's why this shit feels so good.
Rob Marriot : for the ballot
Tupac : yeah, it's for the ballot, but to be - known as something - to - get this dark cloud off of us as a race. I want some kind of sunshine, some kind of exceptionnal deal so we can all stop sucking Malcolm X and Michael Jordan dicks. You know I mean like we don't ever have got to be shit cause we got Jordan and Malcolm X. I'm not with that.
