Steele then stood up and defined that he, Tek and their staff visited Pac to see what was up amid all of the controversy between the coasts. As an alternative of discovering somebody who allegedly hated the East Coast, they noticed somebody they might name a brother, and earlier than lengthy, they realized the East Coast-West Coast beef wasn’t something severe.
He added that 2Pac was similar to them, and it angered him listening to folks in Brooklyn reward his loss of life in 1996, however he in the end understood it. Bigga instructed Steele that followers and die-hard New York rap fans by no means bought a proof behind their meet-up with Pac to that diploma, however he was grateful to listen to the total story and hugged the rapper.
In keeping with the story, 2Pac was in talks with DJ Premier, Buckshot from the Boot Camp Clik, Outkast, E-40, Scarface and extra to file the unification album. Sadly, the album was by no means completed as 2Pac was shot in a drive-by taking pictures and succumbed to his accidents days later.
