Young Noble speaking on the making of "Me & My Girlfriend"
He got that concept from Nas. Remember Nas did that song about the gun ("I Gave You Power" from the 1996 album It Was Written)? 'Pac used to like that song. When him and Nas Squashed their beef, I was happy. I grew up on NAS. Around my way, when Nas came out with "Live At The Barbeque" !!. I could have been the first nicca promoting his[..]. All the Outlawz were fans of Nas. 'Pac was too. He used to like Nas. That's all hip-hop do. You hear a nice idea, and you flip it and make it better. That was one of those !!s. There was a lot of !! going on, and 'Pac was never a dude to hold his toungue. He put it out there. He felt like a lot of muther****as was against him, and that didn't sit well with him neither. Mutha****as made it like an East Coast/West Coast situation, when in reality 'Pac and all the Outlawz is from the East Coast. That was just one of those songs where 'Pac was riding on his enemies. 'Pac had nothing but love from New York. We was in New York for the MTV Awards 3 days before he got shot in Vegas. That's where we seen Nas and they squashed it. That was one of the happiest time I've seen him. He was happy to be in New York and feeling the love. We was all in New York Uptown, it wasn't like we was in the hotel all day We even walked for some damn blocks. in Manhattan somewhere. 'Pac said, "f*ck it, let's walk." We could have walked for 30 minutes. People couldn't belive it. This nicca was giving bums hundreds of dollars and !! He had me holding a damn little briefcase with all this money. He was really happy to be back in New York. I think he wanted to get in touch with everybody out their-Rappers, and just the streets, period. He was happy about squashing the beef out there with Nas."
Realtalk Pac is the realest brother to have ever blessed the mic. him and Nas wuz soldiers of the same struggle.
