longing working on it for a while but to be here here
hope then and we tr to share your story
here ready this is a unique story
because you used to be kicking it with a
famous rapper t shak i got get mine you got get yours you getting yours definitely yes
so tell
us talk to us now tell us a little about this
life you live before we get
how basic you i used to be one of the
members of the outla a group that was put
together by t i went by the name napoleon
we was more like a family you
know some of the members most of the
members of the outlaws was related to top
cousins ​​brs etc my ro i came in with
the outsi who was of t and it basically
was like family that we roll together rec together together
but that
to the end and for me gr up in that
lifestyle rolling with t i never thought
that it came to the end the way it did you
know because he actually he's dead he's dead
how old was he park was 25 years
old when he pass away was very young
that's very young very very young
so it was a life it basically it happen
um i didn't expect it to happen that way
none of the members of the out was one
of them things where we was living a
fast life
yeah and i
actually is the member of the outla who
introduc me to t he got mur
accidentally by my little cousin so not
only did we lose t two month later wefi
a few months later before that my
grandmother that raised me she passed
away so it was one year see nothing but
and that same i
said
something else is out there let me
figure out what i'm doing with my life you
know did you know those other rappers
like bigy smalls who also dead did you
ever meet him i never met biggy because
at the time we came real close from
meeting bigy in the wrong way it was a
time that he was at yeah we was beefing
with him and it was a time he was at a
location that us two sh we ran down on
and we almost if it wasn't for security
guards it probably some blood sping so
you know thank god it didn't happen the
way we plan to happen but i never
actually met personally i thought a lot of
these things were done like to sell
records but there really these were
real going on behind the scenes this is
real
you people familiar with he got shot he
got shot and he got shot five times
twice in three times in his body and he
thought and only the tr he thought that
b knew what was happening and b supposed
a of his what happens so park was one of
them type of guys he was a real dude he
wasn't a type of gu that just going to
rap about it and let it slide he had
enemies that was trying to murder him so
he look at it like these people are
trying to murder him so he look at it
like either i do something first or if i
sit back they going to shoot me again in
the next time i might not be that lucky you
know now two things can
usually happen in a situation like this you can
now a humble yourself and say hold on
man my life i got a second chance now i
need to get with it or you start
thinking you're invincible definit is that what happens
with him i would say
with i really want to know if he thought he
was invisible because one time we had a
conversation with him and he
said he actually said before that he before he
got shot he always felt like it was
something with him his own words he said
i felt like i had a little man that was
with me protecting me he said now that i
after i got shot i feel like that little
man is not there anymore i nothing to
protect me but i think he was he come
from a family of warriors you know come
from his mother father and he just had attitude
where he admitted many times
that i never had a record i became a rap star
he said until i never had this much
drama in my life until i put a rap
record out so he basically pushed back
against the wall and t he wasn't a
normal type of rapper he was a type that
back push to the wall like most they are
going to do whatever to get away from
that wall you know push their enemies
back and unfortunately it came back
to you know came back to basically take
his life a very young ag and the reas
because i remember at that time it was
like ted to change heed to search for
something different i heard you once mention that he
said once he attained
everything because before like he was
singing about death that he like
to die is that tr but then when he got
it he said man i don't want to die
exactly now was many times we had one
conversations with we were basically be
in a living room with me and outs most
of the time this is our day we are not in the
studio we are not out in the club or whatever we
would just sit and talk with t
was a very intelligent gu you know
mean was dummy and we have serious
conversations and was that he would say um he would talk
about death often he
would say how you don't want to live
anymore and he would say is because of the
way his life the way he was brought
up the way he was raised and then when he got into
the music industry he
thought that it would be better for him
he be more happy he said but it was
worse he was depressed and he was
catching a lot of lawsuits and cases
going in and out of prison and it got to
the point say don't want to live anymore
but i remember was a time when we went
to death records and p sold about 20
records he put a record out alls
on me and a million ped to say it was a one time
we was in his living room he started to
say to me and the outlaws he said do you
remember how i always talk about
death yeah he said but now that i have
all this money he just bought him a nice
house on the beach in malibu he just
bought him a rolls royce he said but now
that i have all this money i don't want to die
anymore and a few months later
unfortunately that's when he got
murdered in the dve shooting and for me
that was the first time in my life i
actually started to think about i
actually started to say well we don't
have control over this this is a guy who
when he wanted to live he his life got
tooken away from him and it's no
mistakes even though i had no religion gr
up i knew that it wasn't no mistake i
knew it was his time but it made me start
thinking you know made me start to
think about what's going to happen to me
when i'm dead now many people they feel
like you know what is far away yes was 2
but take a minute because some the
people many youth who up listening to
hip and music
can t is guy he's the number rap arti in
the world he's over 60 milon
record million was on 40 million recs
with with the outla this is a guy who
was when it came to that type of stu he
was a genius you know i mean when it com
to the music when it to he was ahad of to
that type
of not only wasc musician he was a
successful actor he started coming up
and and different movies so he was a
young guy who had basically everything
that some of you would think that life
is all about he had everything you can
imagine he sold the most records even to
this day in the guinness book of world
records for selling the most record any
other rapper nobody even pass even to
this day and most of these record he so
after his death so was he was a gu that
um he had hum begin he come from two
black panther parents so he was raised
type of struggle in type of um
political movement with the black
panther his parents even when his mother
was month pregnant with t the fbi put a
shotgun to st and basically locked up
and i they over years inon and couldn't a
law represent herself sheat thee so gr
up in environment one that's why he had
a lot of against the poli because he was
rais literally he mother father the heem
to the music industry you notice
even though he had a lot of positive
lyrics but most of his ly about
what he was raised upon and talking what he saw and what he witnessed
in his life so he
was even to this day the number one rap artist
even everywhere i go i never see
more people and i say unfortunately i
never se more people especially in muslim
country looked up by the youth
more than t in saudi arabia
unfortunately you see the name of the wall so i
to the you what his life was and
unfortunately he wasn't a muslim but they love this gu you
know mean that's
something that we can't take away that
the youth love and we are here to just let
the youth know the truth about that
lifestyle yeah now tell us now yourself
you are actually we talked about this
person tup shak right yes yourself so
you right there right hand man you in that
little in theck outlaws i was in click
out records i was on record i over 40
million record 40 million record
refer to as i was only the out introduc
say this is this isp is my and i with i
in the
house i
was so i was you we know that look as
who have
so tell us now you must did it
allan a very age i was 16 old i was i
did all you know i mean got to the where that
lifestyle was the reason i
toch my
father got mur in front of me so all my
life i saw one of the things that
really changed me and made me to look
and search was that lifestyle because i
got to the point when i left new jersey
when i left the hood i thought that the
ultimate happiness is hous money and
cars is what the money and
cars this is what they are on theis so when i
said once i got these type of
materialistic things i said now i would be
happy it was a time my life man i was
when i was 2 24 years old 23 years old i
had three brand houses cars
every time a car would come out i would go purchase car
but i remember when i to go to sleep
at night by myself i used to
feel very depressed and i used to tell
myself how come i'm not happy i have
money i have houses i have cars it was
something that i couldn't live with
forever i was i was hiding it to the on the
television my fans wasn't seeing ins
side of me but every night i will go to sleep
and this is what i ask myself how
come i'm not happy so anyone now this is
for anyone you can be a b jov fan
i would say everyone is i say to be h i
would tru believe that if you don't know why
you created if you don't know creator
you can be happy i tr believe
because heated us worship i would think
no matter how much money people have how cars
can 24 they
worshiper deep can be happ now how did
you okay the family environment that you
in were they practicing any kind of religion my
family we was raised my
family was mostly christians my mother
and father before they got murdered they
both converted to the religion of Islam
but i was raised with my christian
grandparents but they was the christians my
grandmother was the only woman in my
life that actually i saw go to church
every sunday my grandmother was the only
really trying to practice her religion but
it wasn't really it really was nothing
there relig
of christianity in my hous they
but they do whatever they want you know what i
mean so it really wasn't too much religious religious
whatever you call it
going on in my house now what about this
idea like i mean did anyone try to push
say look you better accept that this that
jesus came and for your sins or
look going to hell what my family wasn't like
that i remember at a young age they
used to make us go to church it was time
they made us go to church but my
grandmother wasn't a type that
we some bad kids man bad i think really
us to to church keep us out of trouble
and my and my cousin we were the worst of
the neighborhood so i think it was more
let me try to get these kids into church
to get out of trouble but it really didn't work you
know what i mean it
really didn't work i at a very young age
that i knew that christianity is not the
proper way to worship allah it doesn't
teach you the proper way to worship your
so a very young age i said there is no
way this would be a religion from God there
is no way the creator send this religion down to
us something a right
with religion so growing up i always put
the religion of christianity as and said i
just believe in god i will say i don't
have a religion i just believe in god so
the cross teachings of christianity that
jesus is god that god committed suicide
he came down these things that just don't make sense man growing up
because you read one part of
the bible say that worship
the jesus whatever you
bible for example in the book of
matthew when the disciples jesus how do
you eternal life and jesus said good how do
you attain eternal life and jesus
said do not call me good master as there
is only one good master he's in heaven
above and then he said way you life sticking to the
commandments so it's
very confused that one the commandment
say worship the creator alone and then
you got somebody telling you to worship jesus
it was very it was a contradiction
so i i told myself that This cannot be
the religion sent down from God so now
okay you leave this alone and now you
live in the fast liv in the dream
basically dream and now from the outside
looks all good fans not seeing what's in the
heart now you're depressed you're having
issues like you know what many
people and they cover it up they covered
up thinking that that big house picket
fence which you had more three houses
bigger picket
fences and you know money full pockets
and now thinking about people seeing it happ around i
'm telling myself wait a
minute i can be next to you know what i
mean so i didn't want to die in the
state that i was living even though i
never really read anything to tell me
what was going to happen to me after my
death after life i definitely didn't
want to die in that state i was living i
knew from the natural side of me the
natural fit disposition that the way i
was living wasn't correct it was your
conscience h my conscience was telling
me you don't want to die in state so that
's a good thing that God put a the creator put
in all of us that you don't
want to like not listen to it listen to
it definitely listen to it listen to it
so what now happens now you go from living this
dream you liv another dream
right now this is the real dream
reality how did you come to this truth
now happ came to this it happened to be
one day i was in a recording studio and
i was all messed up and you know what i
mean when i say i was messed up and i
got to a fight with my little brother
and it happened to be a gu that was in a
park muslim kind of me down broke the
fight up and he started talking to me
you know what i mean he was real calm
and he was like what happened one of the words i remember
he said some of the
words i remember he asked me what
happened if you wake up so and notice
that you murdered your little brother
and he started talking to me and talking
to me and eventually he told me he was a muslim
he invited me to the so the first
time i went to the man i think i was
about 30 or 40 of my boys because i
didn't know what to expect and i noticed
that it was something inside that i
didn't see in the music industry i
didn't see in the street life and it was brotherhood i
was all gr hug each other smiled each
other and i said let me let
me see they up on you know and he gave
me the english translation of the quran
so i took i took the quran home and the
first time that i read the quran even
though it was an english translation i
knew for a fact right there that this
cann be the words of a man i said for a
fact this have to be from the creator of the
heavens and earth Because i was
around poets at this time tup like i
mentioned earlier he's a genius when it comes
to writing and so i knew what men
was capable of writing the level they
can get the extent of them writing the
poems etc the words he's in in a sense
like a hip hop shakespeare yeah yeah
exactly you know what i mean exactly
they even teach t classes in
universities all around america they got
courses based on tupac in different
colleges and universities around america
so i knew right there that reading the
Quran that these this can be from a man
everything that I was searching for i
was looking for happiness and different
type of drugs and allah says in the quran
for example truly the hearts found tranquility
and the remember of allah
and it's nothing like when muslims we
remember lord and we worship
we get a certain feeling that you don't
get from drugs that you don't get from
money that you don't get from none of
stuff in this world because that type of
stuff is temporary happiness something
about being a muslim and practicing your
religion you get some type of
tranquility and some peace in inside and
also about at this time of my life i was
wondering why everyone around me is dying allah
says in the quran he said every
soul sh death yeah so was i was looking for
was in the qur so now there was no
ambiguity there there wasn't something
where sucess i
about the i for this is the way i suppos
to my life it wasn't easy not like i and
overnight i just became a relig was even
to day
hard perf
noas as if they walk on gender we
know that a will continue to test us so
once we get past one thing another test
might come our way so it defin wasn't
hard because this lifestyle is the only
lifestyle i knew so when i started to
practice the religion of islam my
friends started to think i was weird the
way that i was being treated the way my
loved ones was treating me started changing
so basically i went from a type of
person where i was the i was the life of
the party i was the troublemaker i i
went from basically getting all the
attention basically over here
alone and everyone basically saying he
's air now something is up with this
guy you know what i mean so at the
beginning was very
hard telling us right here you said a
few you said musl islam there's a lot of
non muslim they don't know what this me you
got allah just mean in arabic it
means the god in the arabic language um
islam means islam is the religion that
allah sent down with all the prophets
and he sent religion through all the
prophets to us man
me submission to the of god the other
word was what i musl musl me who submit
to God one who practices mus practice the
religion Islam is called muslim now
we're almost at a time this is very
exciting you're living a corrupt life
scandalous life definit and now people
are on the bandwagon they are with you now you submit
to the crater alone not worshiping the sun the moon jesus muhammad
but you wanting to worship and do what
the creator of the heavens and
you to do i
was we know was we because i said i
was the that was going to the and tell
me to come out the club i no i do that the
bring the drs and drugs and i do that
anymore so the begin something when i
first year later i
accept i
came
most of your money t so i up and i said i
cannot come on i just cannot do it so they
believe it you know that was the first
step saying that this gu
we take you said it wasn't like
something that it's a jihad it's a
struggle definit so how long did i t take
for you actually to get to where you it
took some time i'm still going through that jih
in the struggle i won't say
that i defeated it yet because i'm still
going through i'm know that that he
let me know that the
fight a over yet because i think we in
trouble we think the fight is over so
it's still a struggle for me but it took
some while especially ramadan is one of the
things that basically broke me away
from doing intox myself and destroying my brain body
was i remember second r
he in pray that it was a successful ramadan
but it definitely was a way to
get me away from that lifestyle that i
was used to drinking and party etc now
tell us how the rest of your entourage
how they end up coming over all of you
said accepted this way of life all accept isam ed was the
first one
accepted Islam i remember talking to ed
about when i first came back from ha we
was in deep conversations a lot about
Islam and he accepted the religion Islam
and the recent i think young no he
accepted Islam A year ago no young noble
is one of the members of outs he
accepted about a year ago accepted about
months ago you know husin he he's a
member of who accepted Islam when he was in
prison
so now some people might say oh this is
a black thing what you got to say to
that we would say for a fact that the
religion of Islam is not a religion for
black Arab people or white people i'm
not obviously black european so this
that be right there proof against some h
but basically i thought the
same thing before i became muslim to be
honest the people that murdered my
mother father was from a group of people
called the nation of Islam which has
nothing to do with to do with i don't
even like call the nation islam i'll say the nation nation
of some people call
the nation of so what i thought growing
up is that these people are muslim they
killed my mother and father in front of me
when i was years old i would never be a
muslim this is what i used to say and it was i
started to read the quran and read
about Islam I said wait a minute the
religion of Islam and what the nation of
Islam upon is two different religions
you know what i mean the religion of
Islam for example we believe that Allah
is the creator of the heavens and earth he
not a man he's not a woman he doesn't have a
race we can't even imagine we know
that the prophet muhammad he even
said in authentic narration that he was
sent with something that no other
prophet was sent with and that he was sent to
the whole of humanity for
example jesus was sent only to the
children of Israel david to the children
of israel muhammad was sent to the whole
of humanity and majority of the muslims
in the world are asians indonesia the
biggest muslim country in the world
arabs blacks bosnians europeans you got muslims
everywhere so this is the beauty
of this religion when i first went to me
and i noticed i saw people from all
parts of the world all parts a way of life
it was amazing and everyone was
treating each other brothers you
know what i me dave ch scarf some of
these
other the
recently ray he came to the in los
angeles ray from the w cl just accepted
Islam ghost face killer from the w clan
i ran at the airport he accepted Islam
so a lot of is run to the
religion prais creator of the heavens
and earth who is guiding the people but
you got to be guided is it
definitely you we should want to search
for the truth and i think and allah
knows best that if we sincerely look for
the h that allah will guide us to the
truth you know what i mean is that the
people we can't sit back and just think
that okay will come down and speak
because some people ment they do sign the
sign is that look man look all
around us people every s day around us
we see what's happening to the people
earth all around the world this is a
sign you know what i mean this is a sign
that we should take we want to know what's
going to happen to us when we dead we
none of us know when we are going to die
every single person least be curious
about what's going happen to in the next
life we ​​want to be religion
life other we
you read about Islam you know not to hur
you if you go pi up the English
translation of the qur and not to hur you
read the b the prophet muhammad
and we would tell you basically don't judge Islam
by us because if you look at
us and judge Islam you will run away
from it no doubt about it but if you judge
the religion of Islam by the
prophet
muhammad then you would know what this religion is
about you know a couple more
points but we come to before we come to
what are some of the is that is just
faith personal or is there a lot ofid human you
got to look defin even if we
just analyze the stars the moon the mountains
even if you just analyze the
clouds the sky look at this who created
all you know mean created the sun who
created the moon you cannot say scientific you
can science because science
even to day no human being can
come close to
what about the moon who makes the who
makes sun r and sets all these ss from
allah you know i me all signs from allah that
We ask ourselves who created this
and many in the Quran that you that 1400
years ago they mention that mankind just discovered
in the 20th century tell us
that for the fors that that
you
have from b my heart that to that lify
man be like a away from house fire and
he's running from house and he telling you house is fire
and you r say i want to go i want
you unfortunately that guided most of
us from that from this amer converted to
Islam he guided us from a life of and
evilness we tasted the darkness of that
life we ​​know that has nothing good to
offer so we ask the muslim you just use
your common sense why the people running
away from that run into the religion
islam people walking away from millions
of dollars just to live a simple life of
islam this let them know that this is
the proof that we upon the religion of the and
earth and one we want to tell
the people that no about is no happ no
success without only religion isl only

Drowsiness does not overtake Him nor
sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the marks and whatever is on the earth. Who is it
that can intercede with Him
except by
His permission? He knows what is before them and what is
behind them, and they do not encompass a thing of His
knowledge except what He
wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not.
