BBC 1xtra - The Ultimate 2Pac Fan Competitionn - leaving for LA tomorrow

Hey guys - am currently at the 1xtra studio.

We just set up a myspace for the documentary:

www.myspace.com/ultimate2pacfan
we will be updating that with blogs and videos and pictures over the course of the trip - so keep checking it because i might not have a lot of time to update here as well.

Also, what are everyones suggestions for the documentary? What would you, as the fans like to see/hear from this? Keep in mind it's a 2 hour radio documentary - we'd like to cover territory that hasn't been covered before.

We will be interviewing Johnny J at KLOCKWORK Studios, Candyman 187, DJ Big Boy, Rick Edwards the head of Makaveli Branded, DJ Skee (Game's DJ) and possibly Game - these are just the ones that are currently confirmed.

So what do you want to hear?


PS. Sticky this plz ;)

Lame ass shit, i bet BBC didn't even put that much money in this and that will definetly show when it comes to rates.
Johhny J is the only good one since he actually KNEW 2pac !!
DJ Big Boy, who the fuck is that ??
Makaveli Branded is a wack brand plus what you going to ask a dude like that ?
DJ Skee, what you think you're going to get from him, a story about how he likes to mix the Game into 2pac songs and wants to get on the new album ?
The game is also wack because he's just a rapper who admires him.

Don't get your hopes up and have a great time in LA. If i were you, i would just interview Johhny J and sneak away from the BBC crew and enjoy LA:thumb:

The BBC have put a lot of time money and effort into this.

Please bear in mind that the names mentioned are the only ones confirmed right now, I'll be able to mention a few more when I get there. DJ Big Boy is a famous LA radio DJ who knew 'Pac well.

The Game - well, mostly to get opinions of current MC's on how 'Pac affected them and what his influence ten years on is. and personally I like a lot of MB's clothing.

I'm definately gonna have a great time. I think me and Candyman are gonna go to the parlor where 'Pac got a lot of tattoos so that'll be cool. and can't wait to check out Johnny J's studio.

for everyone's that's seen the video for Unconditional Love, that's Big Boy that's doing the little radio intro.

Militant, I know we've never even had a real conversation, but you seem cool. Feel free to hit me up if you want someone to show you around town.

I hope you get the chance to interview some people that haven't done numerous interview about Pac before [JJ] or peeps that didn't really know Pac unlike Game / DJ Skee. The Makaveli Branded interview seems abit pointless too, probably more of a chance for them to promote their product than talk about Pac.

I'll wait and see how it turns out, but tbh I'm not expecting alot at the moment.

Militant -

I think if you want to tread new territory for this documentary, it would be good to try to get as many specific anecdotes about Pac from the people that worked with him as possible.

Rather than broad questions about Pac as a person -I think we all have a pretty decent idea of that from past documentaries - I think that collecting as many personal anecdotes about Pac from the likes of Johnny J and his other collaborators would be most interesting.

Questions for Johnny J like:

Having seen and been involved in the creation of many of Tupac songs, which songs stand out the most to you?

Which songs meant the most to Tupac?

What are your most salient memories of Tupac in the studio?

Do you have any insight that the public lacks as far as what inspired any of Pac's songs or lines?

What information has Pac ever revealed to you in private conversation that the public may not know?



Questions like those, I think, would help bring forth information that was hitherto unknown. Its very good to hear that you've got Johnny J as a confirmed interviewee - probably very few are privy to as much information as he is.

Hey guys... out here in LA, check the myspace:

www.myspace.com/ultimate2pacfan

for all the blog updates, just thought id share this with you though:


/\ That youtube link is myself and Jonny J at his studio. He's definately one of the coolest cats I've ever kicked it with. As you know, myself and the BBC 1xtra team are making a radio documentary, but we are filming a few video clips as well to promote it, as you will see.

Anyway, gotta bounce, going to the former Death Row offices on Wilshire today, as well as the Interscope office and also linking up with Candyman 187. Keep checking the myspace for blog updates etc



/\ Me, DJ Semtex and Johnny J at KLOCKWORK ENT Studios
