Yes, as I acknowledged in my post, I understand that copyright strikes are not technically a forum issue. But if I DM someone on here and ask them to meet, with the intent of murdering them, that's not technically a forum issue either. I'm sure you catch my drift. I don't think you want that person on the forum, regardless of the technicality of the issue. A forum is not bound to adhere to individual constitutional rights, staff can make their own assertations about what kind of people benefit the community, and what kind of people don't. It's like hosting a private party with guests. If there is a guest that you don't want there, you can demand that they leave. There are invite-only forums out there where you have to apply to join. As staff running this forum, you can decide exactly what kind of people you allow here, and what kind of people you don't. It's not a human right to be included in a private party. I don't know if you guys convene councils or actively talk about forum policy, or if every mod is a freelance agent. That works fine for moderating occasional beef or spam, but when you have a troll actively trying to infiltrate the community using deceptive methods designed to slip under the radar, it requires a more uniform response. I say this from the recent experience of trying to run a community where this guy tried to infiltrate using the same deceptive methods, and having a team of moderators that mostly work as freelance agents. Letting mods play whack-a-mole once every other week doesn't cut it when dealing with his type of approach.Originally posted by djukak View PostSure you do understand that I or any mod here cannot do anything about youtube strikes.
What I would ask both of you is to simply ignore each other on this forum. Other places are not my concern, as you both know.
I will keep an eye on posts from both of you to see is everything fine here. And, of course, one more time I kindly ask both of you not to use any insults here.

I see you in the discord server, but I don't know how much attention you've paid to this situation. It's not obvious what a liar Ryda is if you don't know he's lying, you have to really pay attention to what he's doing to pick up on it. His approach is very underhanded. I'm just trying to explain how he goes about it, so you know what to look for. And let me make a moral argument for clarity, I am not "beefing" or "arguing" with him. That's insulting. A person trying to tell the truth is not "beefing" with a person that's lying. It's more like pissing in the wind while people point at you and laugh, apparently. I don't know why we don't try to coordinate our fan communities to counter these infamous scene trolls (and other issues that stretch beyond just a single community), but I can't force people if they don't want to. If what you truly care about is catering the environment to chill people with a love for 2Pac's music, it seems like a good idea to protect them from scene trolls and their bullshit, just on account of all the shit that's gone down over the years. Ryda has been going at us for 6 months or more, but he only joined here one month ago. He's not here for honest 2Pac discussion, or to chill with likeminded people. He's here because it's another platform through which he can advertise and spew his bullshit about fake unheards he claims to have, trying to recruit people to his personality cult that aims to "destroy" us, and imposing his troll presence. When he's posting links to a YouTube channel full of fake AI-generated snippets that are advertised as "Exclusive Unleaked", that's a forum issue just like posting a download link to a virus that fucks your computer up is a forum issue. You are giving him a platform to do bad stuff, and even protecting his "right" to do so.
We can't do much about Reddit, Instagram or Youtube, where he also has a presence (and has fooled loads of people already), but when people hear his claims about exclusive material and go out there looking for a "hardcore" 2Pac community where they can ask about it, there's like two places left where they can go. It's here and the discord. So when they come here, and see him making these claims here unopposed, that both helps a) legitimize his lies, and b) de-legitimize 2pac-forum as a whole. It makes it seem like the place where trolls, liars and scammers roam free. I'll gladly put together a little "proof package" for you if you somehow have it in your mind that we're just two peas in a pod that's going at it on equal terms, and/or if you just don't wanna spend time researching it for yourself. I can make a list of links to his Youtube videos that are falsely claiming credit for leaks, and then add URLs to the exact posts on Discord where the content was originally posted, and you can compare dates with your own eyes. The kind of clear cut evidence that would speak for itself and be unquestionable in proving he is a pathological liar.
In this thread he's getting involved in a discussion about spectral analysis, which he has no clue about:
Any person that doesn't know about these things first hand can come in there and easily be misled. The forum isn't so active anymore that you have tons of audio savvy people coming in there and correcting him, so it just looks like two people having a reasonable disagreement. But actually, he's full of shit and everything he's saying in that thread is bullshit. For several pages. He refuses to address what we're actually talking about, he's posting "evidence" that isn't evidence, and using AI to write responses that are written to sound convincing, but not touching on any of the stuff we're actually discussing. I guess he's just a chill guy with a love for 2Pac's music? He's literally trying to argue against established science in a bid to persuade people into believing he has all this material that he doesn't have. What good does this do for the forum? I would be more concerned with what bad it could potentially do, as well as question why we must protect someone's right to act this way. We mustn't.
Let me come off a little sore; from what I can gather, coming here and lying about having material I don't have is fine. So I can just blatantly lie about anything as long as I don't speak badly about other members? You can't prove I'm lying, right, and I'm innocent until proven guilty. Are scammers that try to scam on the forum not a forum concern? So the only thing moderators really need to watch out for, is members hurting each others feelings with bad words? Never mind that the way scammers successfully scam people is by creating an overwhelming sense of false legitimacy. What do you personally think his intentions are with all this lying? Who lies about owning unheard material? Who tries to block other content creators illegitimately because they are trying to control a false narrative that they are the "don of rares"? A person with good intentions would do something like this in your estimation? There's literally no end-game to this situation that's positive for this forum or anyone but Ryda himself (and even that's arguable). So we're just gonna sit by and see this movie play itself out for the Nth time even though we've seen it before, and hold our reaction until _after_ people have been scammed because in a court of law you can't prosecute someone for something that didn't happen yet?
My overall question is, why would you go to the length of protecting the "rights" of a proven liar to continue lying and causing disturbance? Because he's just a chill guy that loves 2Pac's music lol? He uses this platform for recruitment to his server (and cause of "destroying" the 2Pac scene) and trolling. That is definitely a forum issue, it's happening right here on the forum, the question is just if you're able to see what's going on. If you don't spend a lot of time on a day to day basis keeping up with what he's doing, you won't. On the surface, everything looks fine. Two forum nerds arguing, what else is new.
His copyright strike was issued after I posted my remaster here, so I'm not going to be posting more stuff here. And effectively, his mission to "destroy" us, and his habit of sniping anything that's being shared and posting it up in his Discord as "Row Ryda Exclusive" is causing me to not really feel comfortable posting anything at all here. He will continue to try to fuck with our channel, and I cba to play this game any longer, so if he successfully manages to get it taken down by claiming ownership over 2Pac's copyright, that's fine by me, I'll just post my remasters in the discord only. I guess I am alone in finding his actions highly problematic and unethical. Let me re-iterate: He is claiming that he is the owner of the copyrights to 2Pac's music, and trying to block other content posters from posting (better versions of) the content he has already posted on his own account. He obviously does not own 2Pac's copyright.So my understanding then, is that this forum is letting a guy that's claiming to own 2Pac's music run around and openly lie about stuff he doesn't have. For what? I fail to see any logical reasoning to support keeping him around. What he's doing is technically illegal, but you opt to give him the benefit of the doubt. In my honest opinion, trying to block other people from posting content by claiming you are the copyright owner of 2Pac's music is so fucking unethical, that alone should be reason enough to permanently ban him from every 2Pac community out there. I can live with him getting our Youtube taken down, it's just a pet project anyway, but if this forum insists on entertaining this type of person I'm just gonna step back from this place for the time being. He can have my place, he also posts remasters, so it'll be like 1 for 1, no one's probably gonna notice anyway. And then you guys can spend all the time I've already spent trying to figure out what's what when you need to deal with him further down the line. Who knows, maybe me leaving and him being given free reins will actually improve the forum.Last edited by Preach; 03-21-2026, 10:56 PM.unofficial 2pac scene discord

Says the guy who's been trying to "destroy" the scene over some shitty Tha Row 2003 era VIP bonus material (that fucking sucks btw), for six months now. I have a server full of people that care about you disturbing everything we're trying to do to have a good time. You just say shit to say shit. Whether you're a liar doesn't come down to whether or not you'll admit to being a liar, it comes down to what you actually do. And part of being a liar is that you... lie about it. If you want to provide any kind of evidence for why anything I'm saying is wrong, you are welcome to. The fact that you don't, but decide to continue this bullshit, is telling.Originally posted by The Scene Killa View Post

djukak you see the "2pac-scene-politics" channel on discord. Introduce yourself as one of the mods of 2PF there and ask if Ryda is really a problem, or if Rizzle is just bugging over some personal shit. Don't take it from me, I could easily just be a liar. I'm not gonna beg people to come here and say their opinion, most people don't wanna even be on Row Ryda's radar, because he goes around trying to find people's personal information. The only reason he hasn't managed to is because we've been a step ahead of him, thanks to some smart people in the server. If he can, he will doxx anyone that dares to speak out against his lying.Last edited by Preach; 03-22-2026, 12:13 AM.unofficial 2pac scene discord
