I had that book boys of New Jersey it ended up being a movie. It's all about the luchese crew and there 18month circus trial. It was a great book and pretty good movie great actors and the movie is more like dark comedy. Anyways if I remember Tupac was living in florida from like 1980 on. He couldn't step foot in new jersey or he would be arrested for contempt so in my mind he had no chance of getting into the hierarchy. His own crew basically overthrew him. He was a absent leader so to say. He loved to tell rabb all about himself like all the turncoats and how he was wronged but he was soft he didnt want to go to jail for even 6months for contempt. He acted crazy to get out which I think is weird for a man with so much honor. Atleast chin gigantes started that shit and was doing it for decades even committed himself to not hospitals before he was even named boss so there was groundwork. Guess he was committed to the act
