When I was a kid I used to hang out in L.A. and Tupac would come around and he would always tell me he hated this very thing. People telling ducktales about someone that they never really met. He hated that with a passion. I used to tell him, word Pac, I won't grow to be that way, thanks for the words of wisdom. He used to also browse those early internet forums and he would laugh, saying look at these suckas who never go outside.
I'm so glad I was one of the lucky few to meet the brother and got to kick it with him on a regular basis.
