2pac and Sexual Harrassment- A Rare Interview
by Davey D
A couple of weeks after 2Pac was released from prison and came back to Cali, we had a strange encounter. While doing my Sunday morning Street Knowledge Show, Pac called in from Los Angeles and wound up being a surprise guest on our show dealing with the topic of sexual harrasment.
We hadn’t planned on Pac calling in especially when considering the nature of the charges that landed him in prison. I would’ve never thought to even call him to talk about sexual harrassment. In reality he wound up being a great guest who offered up keen insight and on many levels startled our guests
The way this all went down was interesting in itself. On Satureday nights we had our Club 106 mixshow and trhe special guests that evening was Pac’s homeboy E-40. 40 paged Pac to the station hotline in hopes that he would call in. Apparently that never happened. When I came on 9am the following morning, Pac returned E-40’s call midway through my show. It took me and my producers by surprise. In fact initially we didn’t believe it was him, because he was talking in such a subdued tone. But once I recognized his voice, I just seized the moment and asked him if he wanted to come on the show. The rest is history..
For the record this was Pac’s first radio interview after he got released from prison in early 96.. Less then a year later he would be killed in Las Vegas… As you will hear in the interview Pac had big plans in the works for himself and our community.
