I was in shock of everything. I wasn't shocked about him getting shot.
'Pac is a strong dude, yo. He's real strong, so when he got shot I was
just like, 'Again?' You know, he's always getting shot or shot at, he
gonna pull through, make a few records and it's going to be over. But

was the whole competition about the girls and who had the prettiest
girlfriend. Then there was goin' to school, flyin' it with other fly
niggas in school, and niggas gettin' motorcycles and niggas gettin'
Honda Accords and [Jeep] Cherokees. We'd go to the movies on the
weekends, go to 42nd Street with the fellas, bump into a whole bunch of
girls, party. . . . It was just on, you know what I'm sayin'? It was
fun!

These days? Just waking up like nine o'clock in the morning, going to
different record stores, catching planes, going to the studio, you know?

one little man with me - Little Caesar - he's part of Junior M.A.F.I.A.

My niggas only act that way towards niggas that don't show no love, you
know what I'm saying? My niggas know I'm always gonna be there. I gotta

percent, for me. And Puff [Combs] too. I can't even front on Puff. He
ain't no wimp-ass nigga.
