Biggie

Tupac

<p>Veteran artists often revisit times Rap&#8217;s Golden era when <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/433675-usher-recalls-early-days-hanging-with-diddy-biggie-tupac-ice-cube-redman-craig-mack-and-more-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.</a> were dominating the culture. Both rappers were killed in drive-by-related shootings six months apart, and their memories are regularly honored by the friends who knew them well. </p>



<p>Goodie Mob&#8217;s Big Gipp visited the<em> Bad Speakers Podcast</em> and was asked about his relationship with Tupac. He shared tales of getting kicked out of strip clubs and partying with the beloved star.</p>

<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s when he was in the city &#8217;round here raising hell,&#8221; Gipp recalled. &#8220;Pac was like that. You ever got your homeboy, it&#8217;s almost like he ain&#8217;t scared of nothin&#8217;? It&#8217;s like, this n*gga here, he fool scary. He ain&#8217;t scared of nothin&#8217;, but you like, I&#8217;mma sit back and think about the situation. But shawty just gon&#8217; react.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;If you with him, and he do somethin&#8217;, then you with him,&#8221; he continued. Gipp also remembered watching<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/429854-bun-b-explains-how-pimp-cs-respect-for-tupac-almost-kept-him-off-big-pimpin-because-of-jay-z-beef-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Tupac in the studio</a>, rapping &#8220;with a cup of Hennessy and a cigarette in [his] mouth.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;Rapped that sh*t like water. He was just so much fun.&#8221;</p>

<p>Gipp laughed about how the late rapper would &#8220;show out&#8221; wherever he went. Further, he spoke on The Soul Train Awards when Pac created a scene.</p>



<p>&#8220;Just imagine, we get out there to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/442539-beyonce-mary-j-blige-ari-lennox-lead-soul-train-awards-nominations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Soul Train Awards</a>. We giving out an award, when we give out the award, it go to commercial break,&#8221; said Gipp. It was then that Tupac, Suge Knight, and their crew interrupted the ceremony by kicking in the door and making a grand entrance.</p>



<p>&#8220;Just kick open, boom! It&#8217;s Tupac. He come down the middle of the road like, &#8216;Yeah! What&#8217;s up shawty! He got on all the camouflage,<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/429320-suge-knights-wrongful-death-lawsuit-results-in-mistrial-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Big Suge with him</a>. Ran right after Biggie and them.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;So, when they show the movie, when Pac comes backstage and is going off on Biggie, Goodie Mob&#8217;s standing in the middle of them.&#8221;</p>
