I dont know maybe its just me but it seemed like there was a big hype around it. But maybe we were just left to believe that it was becuase he kinda predicted his death in the video (how it happened, boxing match) but i think that it goes a little deeper than that.

has anyone really paid attention to the end of the video.

right before the guy from "dead presidents" goes to the house and gives the flowers to the women

it almost looks like there is a picture of 2pac's fist wife and a pic of her and a baby

i dont know that baby she is with kinda looks like someone familair.... tell me what yall think maybe we were led another way from the truth????

From what I remember "I ain't mad atcha" had plenty of hype around it because it came out in september not too long after his death. I believe maybe a few days after his death was pronounced or perhaps probably a day or two after. And although I'm not sure, it was the first pac video where the video description said Makaveli instead of 2pac. The timing of the video, his death, his renaming, and his self titled album Makaveli which was going to be released in a few months also coincidided and sparked the alive rumors. The timing of everything in September helped make pac huge as he is today, imo.

btw, I believe the woman that received the flowers in the video was Afeni.

It was an All Eyez On Me track, thus under 2Pac. Obviously the videos for tracks off the Makaveli album used the name Makaveli.

^no it was under 2pac not Makaveli
If I knew you personally in real life I'd bet you just to win. How can you tell me it was under 2Pac when I saw it with my own eyes and in fact remember that it said Makaveli? I remember even questioning why it said Makaveli instead of 2pac back then.

I don't know, but I know "I Aint Mad Atcha" was one of the first Tupac videos that was under the name Makaveli. Well at least on MTV it said Makaveli. I'm not too sure about the video description names on BET and the BOX back then, but MTV's video description said Makaveli. I think maybe "Toss It Up" was the first video that said Makaveli, but I'm sort of lost on the when that video was released in 96' for some reason so I can't confirm anything now.

First of all you can't tell me. Most of the video descriptions you are putting up are all recent. Hence, BET.com. These are not from back in the day. The only one you have from back in the day that I noticed is the rap city one and even that one is questionable whether it came from the time period he died. Anyway, back then BET and other video networks were not all that consistent with the video description names, so they don't really count. I saw it with my own eyes on MTV that it read:

Makaveli
I Aint Mad At Cha
etc.
etc.

Even when the Smile video came out, on MTV it read Scarface feat. Makaveli and I think the vocalists name on that track was added also to the description.
The only video that was under the name 2pac from September onwards to that short period in 1997 was the "Wanted Dead or Alive" video and yes, "I Ain't Mad Atcha" depending on the network or the show or whoever was in charge of the description stuff in the back that wanted to put either 2pac or Makaveli as the name. As for the "Wanted Dead or Alive" video, that is the one that read 2Pac featuring Snoop Dogg. As for everything else I know I'm damn accurate.

Nah it was definately labeled as "2pac".. I would have noticed and remembered it.. and besides their would be no reason to have it labeled as "Makaveli"..

^^It's a great chance that it was the first. I'm not doubting that or confirming that, but for some reason I don't remember when that video was released, so I can't speak much on "Toss It Up". But "I Ain't Mad Atcha" was one of the first videos under the name Makaveli. You guys seem to have the perception that because "I Aint Mad Atcha" was on All Eyez On Me, which was under the 2Pac name that the video description would've read 2Pac, but that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. The people in the back of these editing rooms or that deal with video descriptions, could've went according to the Makaveli name due to the recent name change and not necessarily because he was using a particular single on a particular album with a particular name.
