Here’s a guest contribution from djxplicit, who more than makes up for my lack of Tupac knowledge with this extensive run-down:
2Pac may hold the world record for most “weed carriers ever”. His weed carriers go from the incredibly talented and famous Biggie Smalls to the widly untalented and unknown Napolean. He, like most famous rappers, began as a weed carrier himself. He carried weed for Shock G of Digital Underground, who later would produce his earliest hits. In 1994, he assembled his own band of weed carriers, named THUGLIFE, which included Big Syke (AKA Mussolini), Macadoshis, his half-brother Mopreme (AKA Wycked AKA Komani), and Rated R. In 1995, Dramacydal was born. This included ex-THUGLIFE members Mopreme and Big Syke as well as E.D.I. Mean (then known as Big Mal). The famed first shooting incident occured, which led to him parting ways with weed carriers Stretch of The Live Squad (who later died) and the Notorious one. It is up for debate whether Lil’ Cease carried weed for him at this time, but 2Pac’s first words to him after being shot were “Shit, roll me some weed”. Around this time Dramacydal became the Outlawz, 2Pac’s final weed carriers. They were all named after dictators. They were (name of dictator in parentheses):
Kadafi (Muammar Qaddafi) – now dead
Kastro (Fidel Castro)
Komani (Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini) – AKA Mopreme, Wycked
Napoleon (Napolean Bonaparte)
E.D.I. Mean (Idi Amin) – AKA Big Mal.
Mussolini (Benito Mussolini) – AKA Big Syke
Storm – AKA the female Outlaw
Macadochis
The Outlawz, even after the deaths of Makaveli and Kadafi, continued recording and even added members, but alas, they could never fullfill their main function anymore: to carry weed for their “general”.
Due to his popularity after his death, many rappers have been acting like his weed carriers or claiming to have been his weed carrier, such as 50 Cent, Domination, Ja Rule, etc.
