pac was present when nwa as a group were recording (see: tha westside dvd) and always had respect for dre as one of thr westcoast pioneers. even while he was beefing with dre, he still gave him mad respect for what he did for west coast hip hop. ...i'll add that dre's not the fruit suge would have you believe he is. it's just a juvenile way to try to get at someone when you don't have a leg to stand on. dre's only "crime" was not attending snoop's trial, but really, would that have mattered? pac's own mother wasn't at 90% of his...
