In a great interview with Hip Hop Iconz mag, Smif-n-Wessun spoke at length of their relationship with Pac. Here is an excerpt:

“What was dope for me was how he received us. This is in the midst of so-called east coast and west coast beef and we east coast niggas straight from the belly of Brooklyn. We go to Cali and we get out there and they had the limousine pick us up. But we ain’t into all that limo shit. We don’t know what the vibe is gonna be, but as soon as we pull up to the studio, the first person we see is Snoop. Buck and Snoop seen each other and it was like they was old cousins. Then as soon as that happen we see Pac come out the studio with that infamous bop he got. It was like he was coming to greet his long lost friends. From day one when he seen us it was like a friendship.

Instead of staying at a hotel, we stayed at his crib with his aunt and his moms. The Outlawz took us around when Pac wasn’t around. If we wasn’t in the studio we was building. One part that was funny, when we were out there Buckshot was like ‘yo Pac where the shorties at? Go call some shorties or something.’ So Pac got on the phone and tried to call up some chicks, but he couldn’t get no chicks. He was like ‘I can’t get no bitches fucking with y’all.’ We really were just sitting at the crib. The nigga had the old big ass laserdisc and we was like ‘put that Scarface shit on’ and he was like ‘nah, I don’t know how to work that shit.’ He was such a person.”
