I met 2Pac at the Palladium. I was hanging out in the dressing room just before he and Biggie appeared on stage together to perform the classic “Party & Bullshit.” The Palladium is where the beef between puff & I grew stronger. Boys will be boys, I guess. PAC was an inspiration by his emotional energy and his body of work that matured as he did. He helped to break down certain ideologies that I could relate to.
