"It was nothing personal, we never met," Jay said of the disses Pac threw at him on record before his passing. "You know, he and Big went through their thing. I was Big's man, that was the extent of our big beef. Whatever [animosity] we had died with him.
"Suge was real cool," Jay continued about getting the sample cleared. "He was like, 'We are above that bull or whatever, I'm cool with it.' Tupac's mom and Ms. Wallace gave me an award one time on MTV, [and Afeni Shakur] said to me, 'When I hugged you onstage, whatever my son had [with you] was over.' I was like, 'It was over for me before that.' Every show I did there was a moment I took to say, 'Put your two up for Tupac, put your lighter up for Big.' She asked me to be on [Tupac's] next album and this is probably an album that has more stuff on there about me and I was like, 'Cool.' Like I said, he's not here to repair our relationship."
