Tupac Shakur: Thug Angel

Shock-G:
All of the Biggie versus Pac heads... First of all, Biggie's gonna win hands down if you're talking flow. Strictly from a rhythm standpoint, Biggie is a swinger. He swings like a horn player over jazz. "B-I, G-P-O, P-P-A, no-in-fo, for-the, D-E-A". He put more emphasis on the "uh-UH, uh-UH-uh..." He just spelling his name. When people say Pac is the best rapper of all time, they don't just mean he's the best rapper, they just mean what he had to say was most potent, most relevant, and that he was the better... human being. Tupac pulled from Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, all the good... speakers. "Even though you was a crack FIEND mama, you always was a black QUEEN mama." It's like pouring those words out because you mean it.

Johnny J:
Pac was enjoying what every man wants to enjoy, every man, every woman - and that's called success. You know... when you get it, you gotta enjoy it to the fullest. You're not promised tomorrow, so let me drive this nice fancy car, let me sport this nice jewelry, let me do this. Let me... you know... have a bottle... you know... a couple of G's in my pocket.

Anthony 'Treach' Criss:
He was staying in the city, and so we went hung out. Gotta find a couple of chicks and everything... Went back to the hotel. So we had a double room - I had my room and he had his room. So we was up there and everything, and I had a little video camera, so me and my little chicky we taping sh*t and everything and you know... Getting all wild and everything. Pac in the other room and the door like crack, so I'm like "Sh Sh Sh," telling my little thing "Sh Sh Sh." So I go up in there and start taping it from the door. So I'm taping them up in there, so he just banging it out on the bed. Banging it out! So I'm taping and I hit the door I'm trying to get closer. "Boom!" And they both get up.

Anthony 'Treach' Criss:
[Impersonating Pac] Man! Man what the f*** is you doing man! I know you ain't taping this sh*t! What the f***!

Anthony 'Treach' Criss:
[Impersonating Himself: Whispering] Ay yo, you got it! You got it! F*** ya!

Anthony 'Treach' Criss:
[Impersonating Pac] Man what the f*** is you doing man! Don't be coming in this motherf***er taping no sh*t man! *Frustration* Man! Turn this sh*t... Give me this motherf***ing tape!

Anthony 'Treach' Criss:
[Impersonating Himself: Whispering] You got it! You got it! Alright keep it!

Anthony 'Treach' Criss:

Anthony 'Treach' Criss:
[Impersonating Pac] I can't believe this motherf***er come up in here tripping!
