Tupac, Mike Tyson & the Death of an American Outlaw (Video & Download)

"Hated by many, respected by all." During his heyday, when he not only beat boxers, he destroyed them, those were the words adorning a promotion poster of Mike Tyson, but they could have just as easily have applied to another self-destructively talented man at the top of his craft; Tupac Shakur. Perhaps it's not so strange then that the two men became friends, and that, in a historical coincidence, Tyson's camp were only feet away at the time of Pac's death. While the story of their friendship has been largely unknown, myself included, ESPN's dope 30 for 30 series has documented the pairing of the American outlaws in their new documentary "One Night in Vegas".

"One Night in Vegas" in its entirely is below, and as an added bonus I've included a remix of one his classic tracks that Pac did for Iron Mike, titled "Ambitionz Az a Fighta". There's no doubt that Pac looked at Mike, a black man simultaneously hated and feared by America, but whom people also couldn't look away from, and saw himself. Similarly, those who weren't around for the peak of both men's careers can't possibly understand the impact they had, just how dominant they were. Who else could drop a track like this? Who else knocked men out like this? No one.
