When Young Noble of The Outlawz took a moment to reflect on the day Tupac Shakur passed away, he couldn't help but feel emotional. It was a tragic day when the iconic rapper succumbed to his injuries after being shot in Las Vegas. Even now, many conspiracy theories still surround Tupac's death, but Noble knows the truth. He was there in 1996 when Tupac was on his deathbed, having lost a lung and a finger. Despite his critical condition, Tupac was still fighting for his life. But in the end, it was his mother, the late Afeni Shakur, who made the difficult decision to let her 25-year-old son go. She couldn't bear to see him suffer any longer, so she allowed him to "fly" instead.
Noble shared his firsthand experience with Tupac's final moments with The Art of Dialogue. He wanted to set the record straight and put an end to the rumors that Tupac was still alive somewhere, like Bin Laden in hiding or in Cuba. He wanted people to know that Tupac really did die that day. He vividly remembers being in the hospital, seeing Tupac hooked up to tubes and his body swollen with fluid. He was not the same fit and toned rapper that many knew him to be. He was in a critical state, and despite their efforts, he couldn't be saved.
At just 18 years old, Noble was still young and impressionable when Tupac passed away. He was devastated by the loss of his mentor and friend. But what he remembers most is the strength and courage of Tupac's mother. She had to make the heartbreaking decision to let her son go, even though he could have possibly lived with more surgeries. She didn't want him to suffer any longer, and that takes immense strength and love as a mother.
During his interview, Noble became emotional and had to walk off set. It was his first interview in seven years, and the memories were still raw and painful. He also shared his remorse over the death of The Notorious B.I.G., which happened just six months after Tupac's passing. It was a difficult time for The Outlawz, who were constantly being kicked out of hotels and on high alert after Tupac's death. It felt like hip-hop was dying, and they didn't want to see anyone else suffer the same fate as their dear friend.
Noble's memories of that tragic day are still vivid, and he will never forget the pain and sorrow that came with it. But he also remembers the strength and love of Afeni Shakur, who made the ultimate sacrifice for her son. She let him go and allowed him to "fly." Tupac's legacy continues to live on, and his music will always be a reminder of the talented and beloved artist that he was.
