Taking it back to the old school, what was your favorite memory about 2Pac?
We was shooting a video out there in Emmerville and it was at some apartment complexes on urban soil. One of my favorite memories was him actually interacting with all the kids, like picking up babies and holding them in his hands and taking pictures with em. It put a smile on everybody’s face to see him doing that because a lot of cats just didn’t know that 2Pac had a heart just like everybody else. He loved kids and that was one of my favorites.
How did you first meet 2Pac?
I got wind of 2Pac actually recognizing me through Richie Rich of the 415. He gave me 2Pac’s phone number and I gave him a call and he was acknowledging what I’m doing, peepin it out. Pac did a lot of traveling and always kept tabs on the Bay. I was like “its all love bra” and I acknowledge what you doin and I stayed in contact with him and we met. Damn, when was the first time we met? It had to have been 1993 or 1992. I don’t even remember the first time we met. Oh, I known when it was. It was jack the rapper. In Atlanta. We were talking on the phone and we met at Jack the rapper which was a big convention where all the rappers would come together with all the labels and everything and it was just a big convention of performances and everything.
What was the most interesting thing about 2Pac that stood out while you worked with him?
His work ethic and his ability to smoke blunts and drink Hennessey. He’d smoke 25 blunts, drink Hennessey and still be focused and knock out a song in 20-30 minutes. Knock out a verse in 10 minutes. I’m talking about a fresh verse.
Do you remember what year the footage of 2Pac rolling a blunt with you was?
Yeah, that was 1993 in the video for my song “Practice Looking Hard.” I practiced looking hard and he hung out all day through the whole video with me.
