Like take the Tupac album for instance. You get so many computer geeks and so many knuckleheads talking about what Pac would have done or what Pac would do, or that certain songs are a disgrace to his legacy. What kind of nonsense is that to say? Pac would have transcended just like everybody else transcended. Pac was a visionary. Pac definitely would have did a song with T.I., T.I. is hot! Pac would have definitely did a song with Ashanti! Pac would have loved her! Who are these people to say what Pac would have done? I produced for Pac when he was alive! I know how he swings! Pac sometimes would do a hardcore record, and then Pac would do a record like Toss It Up! We got love ballads on Pac! So to say something is too soft, or too hard, or don't fit, it's like the nerve of these muthafuckas. You gotta understand man, it's like somebody is reciting a Martin Luther King speech. People are going to say it different, but the speech is still the same. That's what Pac's words are like man!
Pac was one of the first dudes I knew with the sweet joints, Pac was rocking all the Versace shit before anybody! That's why he was mad at Biggie and them for jumping on his style! Pac had style man, Pac was a fly dude! Do you think he wouldn't have had a broad like Ashanti with him? You feel me? You think he wouldn't get down with T.I.? T.I. a fly nigga too! So how you going to say that that don't fit? That don't fit! Now everybody wanna be an analyst... But they'll accept, I ain't even going to name no names, but they'll accept all types of stupid ass records and say these records is hot,
but a record with the magnitude of "Pac's Life", you got the nerve to even comment on it! Everybody is paying homage to dude! Them people took little to zero for those records! I stepped in just to make the shit official, but like Big Syke called me, every person that really knew Pac and was down with him was like "Yo, that record is a smash!" From Snoop on down. We know what it is! So for anybody that says they don't like it, there are 50 people who say we love it, it's a smash.
Dubcnn: I guess it's about changing the original tracks, like on the last record I think it was, they took off Spice 1, and put Eminem on it, or something like that.
See the Eminem record, that is what it is. You can't really be mad at that. A lot of people was mad about it, but I mean look, if Pac was here, Pac made business moves! Pac wasn't no nigga to sit there and not transcend! People don't understand, Pac controlled the album more than you know. Dude got a very strong spirit, very strong vibe. He ain't finna let nothing come out that ain't supposed to! Trust me on that one. Dead or alive, you dig? About the original content. How long are you going to sit on old content? If I was to go, I wish people would remix the hell out of me! Keep me going! Keep my
legacy going! You can't destroy that man's legacy. Those records that Em did wasn't bad! People didn't like the combination cause they think they know!
That's why the beauty of "Pac's Life" is, it's called "What do you know about Pac's life? Everybody needs to chill! Why are ya'll concerned with my life?" Dude! Pac had something to do with that man! Cause it's perfect! It's like, chill! It's Pac's life! His mother got the rights now, and all the proceeds that she do, it goes out to the center that she has for all types of stuff. She ain't getting rich off of putting Pac's vocals out! Everybody that's featured on that, we're not getting paid like that off of that Pac stuff! We do that in homage and to keep it fresh. And it's hard to keep stuff fresh and make it sound like that. The song "Pac's Life" is ridiculous! We couldn't use the original sample cause it wouldn't clear, and it was dry. So we spiced it up! Like when Snoop came in the room, he was
like "Oh my god that's a banger!" I had to make it like he was here! Did you dig it?
Dubcnn: Yeah, I thought it was cool.
It's rocking! That's why, like I said, for every person that don't like the combination, the world done already spoke! Everybody is loving it! New York Hot 97 don't usually play Pac's records. They're playing that one, though! You want the man to be hard on every goddamn record? We gotta get airplay too! It's such a hard thing doing these Pac records cause you're gonna have 85% happy, and then the rest is going to be mad as hell. You can't please everybody. You like it? Go get it! You don't? Shut the fuck up. You feel me?
Dubcnn: How's the rest of the album?
I haven't heard all of it, I have like three tracks on there. The other joints I did are super gangsta and hard, but you can't play that shit on the radio! All of it is hard! It's Pac man! My thing with Pac is, you're either going to love it or you're going to hate it. For those who hate it, don't listen to it! Don't even comment on it! Just keep on going on about your business! But for those who love it, they're going to keep on loving it man. The thing is, if dude was here, I know where he'd be at! He'd be right here rolling with us doing what the fuck we talking about! Then they couldn't say nothing! But now he ain't here and now they wanna say this and that. But it is what it is.

imagine that pac did a song with madonna... that pac did a song with alanis morisette(one that we probably wont ever get to here..lol..) but just imagine it... :woah: tupac would never do anything with eminem, who is one the top selling rappers of today next to tupac... r u sure? i cant prove he would, but u can't prove he wouldn't.... i honestly think he would work with eminem before he would work with a ja rule.... i dont imagine 2pac alive working with eminem in the same vein as L2TG but i can full on visualize it happening at some point... if u cant then u're heads just stuck on the 90s rap scene
when He was still alive
