This is from a new interview with Buckshot (Black Moon) I stumbled across.
Here is the Pac related material:
R: Shortly before Tupac passed away he flew yourself as well as Tek and Steele out to California to record the One Nation album. At the time all the East Coast versus West Coast beef was going on and this was supposed to be an album focusing on unity. How did that situation come about and what can you say you took away from that time that you still carry with you to this day?
B: That album was a real special album because first and foremost it was Tupac that aligned himself with us. He aligned himself with us, like we didn’t align ourselves with him – he as a general saw us as a platoon in the battlefield, saw how we was moving and respected our tactics of war and he aligned himself with us to make us as a unit, all of us, much more powerful. The album would have just represented the first step of a big relationship. So that album as far as what I take from it is you just gotta bomb first, like he always said; you gotta go all out, you gotta work non stop. In order to work non stop though you need a place to work and in order to have a place to work you gotta have a foundation. In order to have a foundation, you gotta take something, you know what I’m sayin’. So all that is involved in bomb first.
R: Given the current situation with Death Row Records, do you think the One Nation album will ever be released?
B: Naw, I don’t think it’s going to be. Years ago I would have told you something else because I didn’t know; but right now I can tell you that album is not going to be released. It’s already dissected, there’s parts from that album that’s all over the place – we got a song on the Better Dayz album, at least; we did get track number seven on the Better Dayz album and that’s love and that’s a blessing. Because again, we could have been taken off totally and period and all that.
But it only strikes me personally because I know Pac did that, Pac did that album and he would’ve wanted that album to be out like that; I mean if he didn’t want it, he wouldn’t of did it. But the creator had bigger plans for him and you know what, that album won’t come out. But there’s songs here and there that you can check, like you said, on Internet radio and certain sites where certain people will have it even though you can’t really get it but it’s still out there.
