I think three or four months later, he passed away.” Just like anybody I hold close and dear, I respect him. "He was a really close and dear person to me.
“It was everything," Hunter said of their friendship. “Tupac had what it took to be a porn stud, no problem!”įor Hunter, she said they remained friends until his death. He was enthralled with all of that," Kelly said in 2010.Īmidst claims of sexual acts between the rapper and some of the stars, including herself, Hartley gushed about working with Pac.
"He's talking to Nina and her boyfriend, and of course Nina brought all of her whips and her little handcuffs and all of that kind of stuff. Fucking impressive." Kelly and Hartley both claimed to have engaged in a threesome on the set. "Creative and a natural leader. The set was a bit of a mess one day and he came onto it and within five minutes had figured out what was wrong, what needed to be done, and had done it. "He (Tupac) was so smart and insightful," said Nina Hartley in 2012. “He contacted me and he wanted me to be in his video,” Hunter would recall years later. The explicit version of the video featured famed adult actresses like Nina Harley, Heather Hunter and Angel Kelly. Well, depending on which version you happen to be discussing at any given moment. And the video would also become one of Pac's most infamous. Tapping Jodeci's lead singers K-Ci and Jo-Jo just before that group's dissolution and their subsequent solo success, producer Johnny J gives Pac one of his slickest tracks. Paired as a double-A side with "California Love," the songs would top the charts in early 1996. "How Do U Want It" would become one of Pac's most successful singles. And evidence that the results were usually impressive including this song's famously scrapped Inspectah Deck verse. Proof that Wu always collaborated with people outside of that hardcore East Coast "purist" world. At the height of so-called East/West friction, this was a cross-regional collab that never sounds forced.
But "Got My Mind Made Up" is a different beast entirely Redman and Method Man were always down to work with anybody who was dope. The Nate Dogg-assisted "All About U" feels like a 2Pac-is-on-Death-Row G-Funk pronouncement. "Scandalouz" has a similar feel, with the slow-rolling production finding Pac firmly in his element with the slickness of his newfound digs at Death Row. But it was an announcement that Pac was back and, for his enemies, worse than before. The album opens with "Ambitionz Az A Ridah," one of the best album openers in Hip-Hop history, the song sounds like his middle finger. Coming on the heels of the "pensive, introspective" Tupac Shakur that had seemingly emerged circa Me Against The World, this was a sharp left turn to some listeners.
