StreetHop.com: Tell us about the first time you met 2Pac.
Tyrone Wrice: I was working at Death Row Records. I produced a lot for artists who were never going to release anything. Nobody big at Death Row wanted to work with me until some of the Outlawz came up to my room and told me Pac wanted to see me. I was so relieved when I found out that Pac wanted to work with me, I was hearing rumors that I was going to be fired any day. I was giving my beats to Snoop, but he would never use them or get back to me, so I was stuck working on stuff that would never be released. Snoop was recording his album and Tupacs crew and Snoops crew started getting tribal and would only work with their own. Pac had no other producers, Daz wouldn’t do it, and Johnny J started using a new style Pac didn’t feel, so he wanted to see what we could do.
