In a revealing interview, Money B of Digital Underground shed light on Tupac Shakur’s connections with Eazy-E and Ruthless Records prior to his Death Row era. Tupac, known for his strong networking skills, was closely linked with the Ruthless Records camp through shared performances and mutual respect. Money B recalled Tupac’s involvement with acts like Above the Law—signed under Eazy-E—and their time together in the early ’90s. Intriguingly, Tupac almost signed with Ruthless Records before later joining Death Row, despite the rivalry between the two labels.
Money B also detailed a tense moment involving Tupac and members of both camps during a 1992 elevator encounter, highlighting the complex and evolving dynamics within West Coast hip-hop. These early interactions underscored the intertwined relationships and shifting alliances that shaped Tupac’s legendary career before his rise at Death Row.
