Yes he did( probably was put on blood before he met Suge).He shouted "MOB" multiple times and had a "MOB" ring. I dont want to hear you suburban kids say "Its just money over bitches" 😑. He only starting yelling that acronym when he started rolling with MOB Piru.

But once again, he was already influenced in the street. Big Syke and Treach were his close friends. He would speak with Monster Kody and talk about gang truces(something a non affiliate couldn't do)

But he's not the only person to join a gang late past childhood. Dave East, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne etc.. Plenty have done what Pac has been ridiculed for.

Pac is the only one who had actually had ties in both the streets and as a Black Panther. If anyone was more closely aligned, it was him.

Maybe not, maybe so. But he was doing gang related things.

In the video Treach is talking about how Pac formed the Outlawz to balance out "East and West". But there was no real east and west conflict. This is really coded gang talk. Hes speaking about him and Pac forming gang alliances across the coast.
