The Outlawz 
were formed by Tupac.
The group was made up of two of Tupac's other groups he had formed, Dramacydal and Thug Life. Dramacydal consisted of Kadafi(Yak), Kastro(K-Dogg), EDI(Big Mal) and Napolean(Mutah). Thug Life consisted of Komani(Mophreme), Mussolini(Big Syke), Rated R and Macadoshis. The only two that didn't join the Outlawz were Rated R and Macadoshis from the Thug Life group. Rated R didn't join as he had jail problems. Macadoshis didn't join as he didn't want to work under Suge Knight(CEO of Death Row). He didn't like the way he treated people, and who can blame him after some of the stories of what Suge did to people. For example, if a young rapper came into he Death Row studios and asked for Suge to hear him rhyming, Suge would say he would let him rap and see if he liked him, but if he didn't they would beat the shit outta him. So many Death Row members have spoken out about this as some of the young rapper wannabies would only say a word or two and Suge would decide he didn't like him and would attack him along with other Death Row members and friends. And if someone was late, he would recieve the same treatment.
Now, Hussein Fatal joined right at the start aswell as he was a good friend of Pac's, and Pac's death hit him really hard, and for a while he refused to rap. But he finally got himself together and released a solo album called "In the Line Of Fire". This was apparently a flop as it was not promoted well and not many people knew of it's existence.
He took names from old dicators and rulers and gave each 
one of them their names. Tupac even gave Kurupt the nickname 'Young Gotti', and 
also gave Daz from Tha Dog Pound the name Dillinger... which makes him Daz 
Dillinger. 
Now on how the Outlawz met. Kastro 
(K-Dogg) is cousins with Tupac. He lived in Atlanta along with Edi Amin (Big 
Mal). They were very close and grew up together. Edi and Kastro's mothers were 
also very close. Also, they knew Kadafi (Yak) really well, and Kadafi is from 
New Jersey. So it started with those 3. Now Napoleon who is also from New 
Jersey, his family knew Kadafi's family very good. Kadafi's mom and Napoleon's 
aunt were really close. Kadafi birthday was like 2 days before Napoleon's 
birthday. So they always celebrated birthdays together. Then was like a period 
of time when they havnt seen eachother or talked to eachother. Then when they 
saw eachother again, Napoleon found out Kadafi was rhyming, and Kadafi's mom 
told Napoleon that Kadafi was Tupac's half-brother. So right there you have what 
was called 'Dramacydal'. The 4 members were Edi (Big Mal), Kastro (K-Dogg), 
Napoleon (Mutah), and Kadafi (Yak). Tupac took all them and they moved to 
Atlanta. 
Now at this time a few new members 
would join, which later came to be known as the Outlawz. Hussein Fatal knew 
Kadafi well too. And Young Noble was from Kadafi's block. Young Noble also has 
family in Southern California. So all 6 then hooked up when they moved to Los 
Angeles, California. Now Tupac talked to all the members from Thug Life and 
wanted them to be in the Outlawz as well to make it be 10 members. Here's the 
scoop on that. Rated R could not join cause he had jail problems. Macadoshis did 
not join cause he did not want to be around Suge Knight. He told Pac that Suge 
was no good, and he had seen some of the stuff that Suge would do to people. He 
talked about one time they were all at the mountains, and it was freezing cold, 
and how Suge Knight made a guy take off his clothes in front of everyone, and 
made him stand outside, where it was snowing, butt naked, and some of them 
laughed. Macadoshis said he didn't want to be around that. Big Syke (Mussollini) 
and Mophreme (Konami) went along to join the Outlawz as well. They did not just 
leave the group Thug Life, they were and are still in Thug Life, but they are 
also Outlawz as well. Now you have 8 Outlaw members NOT including Tupac in that 
number. The Outlawz later hooked up with Storm, who is the female Outlaw, and 
now they have 9 members. Storm has a scar on her face, and is said to be really 
crazy in the head. Tupac always thought she was sorta a female version of him in 
a way. I feel Storm could crush ANY female rapper out there if they went head to 
head, including Eve, Trina, MC Lyte, whoever. Later, Young Ritzy (Gonzoe) joined 
the group. Besides Gonzoe who joined late, the other 9 Outlawz were put together 
very fast. 
The Outlawz are not gangsta rap. 
They started thug rap with tupac, but now they are past that. A lot of people 
say how 2Pac lyrics affect them and their lives. 2Pac trained them, and when you 
hear their lyrics they are very powerful. What they have to say is better then a 
lot of the commercial bull-shit that it getting played everyday on most radio 
stations and MTV. They came with the single 'Baby Dont Cry' as their first 
single. A lot of people wondered, and some critized the move. They felt women 
needed to hear this song right now. The Outlawz dont just want a hot record 
right now, they want to be great forever, and that's where the word 'Immortalz' 
came from, which is why they are the Outlaw Immortalz. 2Pac told them, make 
records for the girls, dont try to impress guys, the girls are the ones who buy 
the records, also, they know a song like that will be played on forever, down 
the line, people will be listening to baby dont cry ya gotta keep yea head up. 
The Good Die Young is a song that 
will touch home on a lot of us. This is another version of Life Goes on. Just 
listen to the lyrics. Napoleon, who was raised without his parents, who were 
killed... Young Noble saying which is worst, Storm, Al, Pac or Yak? The Storm he 
is referring to is Nico Storm, NOT the female Outlaw Storm. Nico was someone 
they knew in New Jersey. He is also mention by Hussein Fatal on his solo album. 
Kastro in the song talks about the way the world is, things that are happening 
these days, that are very true. Then Edi says that if you dont raise ya kids 
right, you'll see exactly why the Good Dies young... Now, just hearing that 
alone, does that make you think, wow that was a great message to send? If not, 
you need help, and you are brainwashed too damn much by commercial music, and 
you are a MTV clone. 
The song 'As The Word Turns' is 
another powerful track, with the Outlawz. Tupac said it best at the end of the 
song: Money come and go, hoes come and go, friends come and go, foes come and 
go, but his soldiers stay eternal. The Outlawz will forever keep Makaveli alive. 
NO ONE else is!!! Napoleon says "nigga talking thug, walking all thru your 
squad"... he's talking about the FAKE tough guys like Mobb Deep. Saying thug 
life is still theirs. That's Bull-shit, they never started Thug life, or Thug 
rap. He also says in his verse, he serves 'em, like Pac told him too. Edi 
talking about the haters only came, when 2Pac was ready to catch his millions. 
Just a very powerful song. 
Another song is 'U Can Be Touched'. 
This basicly says no one on this earth is more then another person. Just cause 
you think you have it all, or you think no one can harm you, U can still be 
touched. A quote from Napoleon in the song is "I ain't afraid to die, I want 
to see what's after this. I'm living blind writing rhymes til they capture this. 
And if we die let the world understand why". That right there is a powerful 
statement. Saying he's aint afraid to die, and that he wants to see whats after 
this life. Kastro says "My nigga.. Lonnie just got hit with 10... 10 years. 
For trusting a friend, they left him stuck in the Penn"... A lesson on trust 
right there. Trusting a friend, and sometimes that is what trust get's you, in 
the hospital, in jail, or even killed. You hear Young Noble say "Even when we 
get a job, we fucking it up. Like it can't happen to us, I could never be a bum. 
Yeah right, you wound up one"... Basicly someone saying I cant be tocuhed, I 
would never be a bum, and he says yeah right, you COULD be one. So basicly this 
song U Can Be Touched is saying in many ways of life, everyone can be touched, 
weather it's no longer havin a job, money, a house, or even living and being 
alive, U CAN be touched! 
When the Outlawz worked with Pac, 
whoever came up with their flow verse got on a song. That taught them. They 
could never take a beat home. They would record 3 songs in one day. FULL SONGS.

So 
now the Outlaw Immortalz were formed, except for one person, Storm! She was the 
only female member of tha Outlaw Immortlaz. She had a scar on her face and is 
said to be very crazy. Tupac described her as a female version of him! 
The 
Outlaw Immortalz debuted on the All Eyez on Me album, making a big impression 
with the phat tune Tradin War Stories. But after the release of this album 
Mussolini and Komani left the group for unknown reasons.However the Outlawz 
continued on with no hard feelings and they were finally recognised as a force 
in the rap world when they appeared on anti-Bad Boy and East Coast song Hit 'Em 
Up. This song shocked the world when it was released as it was no holds barred, 
It was a way for Tupac to let his feelings out, and when he did this song, there 
was no stopping him. This song disses Mobb Deep, Chino XL, Junior Mafia, L'il 
Kim, Biggie and especially the CEO of Bad Boy Records Puff Daddy! Tha Outlaw 
Immortlaz made the world recognise them as they laced down their rhymes on this 
track, showing everyone that they were very talented.
The 
Outlaw Immortalz then changed their name to the Outlawz. They also appeared on 
the Don Killuminati Album, Gridlock'd OST and tha Gang Related OST, either 
seperately or together. 
Then 
they recruited again, this time getting Young Noble. He appears on the latest 
Outlawz album, Still I Rise. And most recently Gonzoe has joined the Outlawz. He 
was in Ice Cubes group and is now in the Outlawz and has released a solo album 
entitled "If I die and Nothing Happens" In this album the Outlawz feature and 
EDI swears him into the Outlawz.
The 
Outlawz career then hit a slump when 2Pac was shot in Las Vegas and died. This 
hit the Outlawz hard. Things got worse when only two months later, Kadafi was 
killed execution style in an apartment in New Jersey. He was the only witness 
willing to testify about the 2Pac murder. Two youths were later arrested for his 
murder, but you've gotta believe he was killed by Bad Boy, or was at least set 
up by them. Either this or Kadafi is still alive along with 2Pac! But it's not 
very likely.
Over 
the next two years the Outlawz were very quiet until Fatal released his solo 
album "In the Line of Fire" In 1999 they released their first album, 
featuring 2Pac on all of the songs except the last one. Even though they 
released this album, their future is still uncertain, as is their Record Label. 
Apparently they are still signed to Death Row Records, therefore they can't 
release any of their unreleased material, which they have alot of! Hopefully 
it'll be sorted as in my opinion tha Outlawz are one of the best groups around!
