"When we get to LA they put us up at the Sheridan in Studio City. Puff rents uss 5.0', which was the hot car convertible at the time - I remember we had a green one and a black one - and you couldn't tell us we wasn't doing it. Two cats from New York, in LA for the first time... So we had to have Fat Burger, we had to have Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles and Big had to have chronic and he wanted to meet Tupac. I had a guy that I knew from LA that suppliedus with some chronic, and it so happened he had a line on Pac. So he made a phone call and when we pulled up to the hotel, sittin' in his convertible is Tupac. And as we're standing there, as Big and Tupac is talkin', Greg Nice of Nice N Smooth comes downstairs. So Big is talkin' and Tupac is like "Yo what else you gotta do today?" And Big looks at me, and I knew at that point, cancel anything else we had sheduled. It was gonna be a wrap. Pac's like, "Let's go to my house." So Tupac and Big, Greg Nice, myself and Groovey Lew [Big's stylist], we all go to Tupac's house. Pac had this bag, I mean, a clear, big freezer bag of the greenest vegetables I'd ever seen. Big was so happy!
We went back to Pac's house and they just rolled up: Big was rolling, Pac was rolling, Greg was rolling, Groovey Lew was rolling, it was just going back and forth. Next thing you know, they started a cypher. We sitting at the house, Big is flowing, Pac is flowing, Greg is flowing, and me and Lew is just sitting there like, Yo, the moment of hip-hop for us has reached its high.
After the freestyle session, Pac went into his room and pulled out this green army bag, and dumped it onto the floor. And it was, like, 25 guns. Handguns, machine guns... So now, here we are, in the this backyard running around with guns, just playing. Luckily they were all unloaded. While we were running around, Pac walks into the kitchen and starts cooking for us. He's in the kitchen cooking some steaks- We were drinking and smoking and all of a sudden Pac was like, "Yo, come get it." And we go into the kitchen and he had steaks, and French fries, and bred, and Kool-Aid and we just sittin' there eating and drinking and laughing. And you know, that's truly where Big and Pac's friendship started." - Dan Smalls (former intern at Uptown Records)
"So you wanna be hardcore, with your hat to the back, talkin bout the gats in your raps, but I can't feel that hardcore appeal, that you're screamin, baby I'm dreamin" - Notorious BIG (från "Machine Gun Funk")
