“Everyone knows I’m a super-duper Pac fan, but when Me Against The World dropped I was 10 years old. So even being 10 years old, I still knew the importance of this album. I knew how ill the shit he was saying was, and how emotional he sounded. I was ten years old, but I could connect to the dude. It’s like now when I’m traveling on the road, a parent will bring their 11-year-old kid to me and say, ‘You’re his favorite rapper. He loves you.’ I’ll think, ‘Yo, he’s 11!, I have to remember that when I was young, I got it too. I understood it. So it reminds me of that. It’s a classic. “Dear Mama” is a fucking classic. The song ‘Me Against The World’ is a classic. “Temptations” and “So Many Tears” are my favorite songs on there.
