He already… yeah, he knew of him before that. I don’t know, I don’t know, because Compton is funny, you know what I’m saying? Them niggas could have been best friends before, I don’t know. That’s how it should be.

I don’t know where their stuff started from, you know what I’m saying? But yeah, he knew him before all of that. He knew him before all of that.

We all know all of, as far as everybody’s age bracket, you know what I’m saying?

You might have some old cats know a lot of youngsters, but the age bracket, you know, pretty much is, okay, yeah, I know.

And Tre was closer to being Orlando’s age. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lando, he’s way little than me. Keffe D, all of them is my age.

Terry Brown, all of them, that’s my age. Tupac Shakur was like, we wasn’t seeing him too much.

He popped up on the weekend, two or three days before we left.

He was getting into his girl, you know what I mean? Yeah, because at first it was different, then he fell in love, they fell in love, I don’t know, they was a couple.

I know that, but it seemed like they was a couple, so I’m going to say they was a couple. You know what I’m saying?

I done seen a couple of other ones, you know, but Pac got different sides to him, you know what I mean?

And I think he got to be that other side of that Gemini with her, because everything else was, you shoot him up, bang, bang, fuck with us, you know what I’m saying?

He couldn’t get in touch with that other side, it seemed like he was more like that, you know what I mean?

Nice and humble and quiet and just chilling.

Not really quiet, but, you know, happy and smiling, ain’t tripping, you know what I’m saying?

Because being on our side, looking in, and all you seeing is just what you see.

You don’t know what the hell’s going on behind them pictures.

The picture might look a certain way, but that don’t mean that’s exactly what’s going on.

We was at the house chilling, getting ready to roll.

Pac and them was late and this and that, we waiting on people and, you know, everybody happy.

I’m telling the Tyson fight, I’m trying to find my boy, because he give me tickets, you know what I’m saying, for free, and I sell them.

I sold like three tickets for $2,500 a piece before the fight started.

That’s the thing, the fights, the Super Bowls, the college, the NBA All-Star, man, you get them tickets for $200–300, sell them for like $4,000, $3,500, yeah.

Yeah, man, we was kind of having a good time, you know what I’m saying.

Suge Knight and Bountry and them went one way, me and Tre went another way. Bountry was with Suge and Pac.

Me and Tre, we went to the house or something, just chilling. I sold my three tickets, the fight was over.

They was already back there with Mike Tyson.

They all in the back, Mike getting rubbed down and all that.

He couldn’t take all of us, you know what I’m saying, he’s like, yeah, bring a couple of homies, don’t bring all of them.

So Bountry was always on top of the list, and we respected that.

They was just clowning around, Pac hit the song for him that he made, that was hard, you know what I’m saying?

Yeah, Pac, I can’t remember if he had that vest on or took it off, but by the time we went back, he didn’t have it on no more, and I got at him about that.

During the fight, an FBI witness reported seeing an altercation between Suge and Tupac’s entourage and some rival Crip gang members.

One of the Crips told Suge Knight that he thought he was untouchable.

The Crip responded, “You can be touched.”

Yeah, I don’t know about the exact words, but that ain’t nothing though.

They back there tussling around, moving around, elbow to elbow.

Somebody bumped into somebody, “watch where you going,” and they went on about their business. That type of stuff happened all the time.

Well, they just had a little shoving match. It wasn’t really nothing to talk about.

It wasn’t nothing major.

We was there, me and Tre came from the house, I’m selling tickets, he doing his thing.

Pac, he over here, he over there, man.

They came out after the fight, high, happy, talking crazy.

Tyson roped him up, you know what I’m saying.

Like I tell everybody, we wasn’t there for nothing. We was there to have business, have a good time, go back home.

We wasn’t looking for nothing.

If it wasn’t for those two little incidents, you would see Keffe D and be like, what’s up, and keep it moving.

Them niggas jumped on Tre and them.

Tre and them got down too, they fought back, but that started it.

That changed everything, because we used to be cordial a little bit.

Tre approached Suge and Bountry like, “sup homie, we okay, we was looking for y’all.”

They started having a low-key discussion.

But Pac zigzagged back in, seen all of us, came right into it.

Nobody told him to do nothing, ever.

But whatever he heard, he heard enough to know who to go hit.

He ran, I tried to catch him, and then it just went down.

That’s that gang-banging shit, man.

It start all kinds of ways.

The boy was balled up, got kicked a few times, and it was over.

Suge was trying to break it up.

It wasn’t nothing to me, I been in worse situations.

But at the same time, I ain’t proud of it. It shouldn’t have happened.

But it did. That’s gang-banging.

You can’t blame that on nobody.

Everybody get down when it’s time to get down.

I ain’t on that no more.

I look at life different now.

I still get down, I’m still from the hood, but I ain’t running around with no attitude.

I get along with people, it’s all good with me.

They got hitters, we got hitters too. That’s why it’s drama.

The media grab something and twist it.

They don’t know how many times I had to fight by myself.

That’s part of the game.

I took my licks, my bruises.

I got homies from the other side too.

I respect that now.

That’s just how I feel in my heart.

And if I got rushed? That’s part of being a Blood.

You take your fade, earn your respect.

That’s where we come from.

It’s natural for us, but it’s a big deal when it happens to them.

Hell yeah, we would’ve found them.

That’s why gang-banging don’t stop.

They go get them, they come back, it keep going.

That’s gang-banging.
