But my personal opinion, that's what I feel. 126 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: I got you did you know Tupac to have a 127 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: defer chain, because now there's that whole conversation if like 128 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: the chain was even his at all? 129 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean yes, I we were together while he 130 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 4: had a flow chain on. So as far as which 131 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 4: one Drake got or what Drake got, I mean a 132 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: lot of cats that depth blow had been changed. Now 133 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 4: unless you know, unless you have certain identifiers. 134 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, because sug Knight was saying that basically the one 135 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: that Tupac had was Suge Knights and there wasn't anything 136 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: written on the back of it, and it was very 137 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: the diamonds were encrusted a certain way and things like that, 138 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: which is not the same one that was posted. 139 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 4: I didn't even know that, you know what I'm saying. So, Drake, 140 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 4: that's the point that he has to deal with himself 141 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 4: considering to purchase he made from someone for something. 142 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 2: Gotcha.
