Here's a cool little interview with Greg Nice I hadn't seen before... It's a few months old, but there are some tidbits about One Nation that I didn't know about, like apparently DJ Premier came out to Cali to work on it.... Fat Joe was suppose to but didn't make it out...
here it is 2Pac worked with DJ Premier for One Nation!!
And in this is why I like Pac so much.... How many other rappers would treat other rappers like that they only met a couple of times... Even if they were great friends, today's rappers seem so greedy that they would never spend their money making another rapper comfortable and trying to help them... Not only money, but putting people on that were down or taking beats from anybody whether they were known or unknown...
Pac was a great rapper but what I think sets him apart from others is that with all his faults, he was truly a great human being... I mean you never hear or heard at the time about all the charity work, kid's programs, and just genuinely caring about others... I think thats something that truly is missing today by big stars especially rappers.... And I'm not talking about Jay-z or 50 Cent donating to something to get their name in the paper or as a tax write-off... I think Pac really cared cause it showed in his music, others not so much... And I think that passion in his music is what makes him the greatest to ever do it....
I read more and more people now that just don't understand how great Pac was.... Things are just different today and nobody gives a shit if music has meaning anymore.... I see people say, "What did Pac ever do to be so revered?" Its like they think rap is all about punchlines and metaphors, and I can understand because that is all it is about now, but back in rap's prime (or my prime) it meant a whole lot more.... Now the only passion people have is for money and that's why rap is in such a shitty state.... It seems to be slowly getting a little better, maybe.....
Sorry for the rant, I just saw some comments questioning Pac's legacy after I posted the link and thought I'd vent a little.... Anyway its a cool story by G. Nice, hope yall enjoy it if ya haven't seen it....
