What did Quik & Kurupt mean with "he had his Muslim on almost"(talkin bout2 Pac)

[THETRUTHUG]

 

DX: This is kind of off topic. But since you both spent so much time in and around Death Row Records, what’s your favorite respective memories of 2Pac?
DJ Quik: There was a night he got released from prison, right after he got bailed out. And we was up at Can-Am Studios in the kitchen taking a break from doing music. At that point I think we were working on Danny Boy and Jewell. Daz was doing the beat to “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” [click to read]. Y’all was in somebody’s project studio recording Method Man [click to read], and I telephoned your voice out so it sounded like you called in and did your verse.

So, in comes Tupac, while we in there playing Mortal Kombat on Playstation. And when I seen him, I just gave him a big ass hug. I was like, “You went to jail. You did it all the hard way, and now you back here? Oh, I’m not gone waste this opportunity to work with you.” I used to marvel at these dudes doing “The Humpty Dance” onstage at the Indianapolis Sports Arena where they were having the Indy 500. I was on tour with them, and Digital Underground tore the arena a new asshole. I’m watching these dudes break “Same Song” [click to read] out and Tupac is doing the Humpty Dance in slow motion! I was like, “This dude is hot.” I knew it. I just knew it.

So when we got to the studio, he was real mature. He had his real bright eyes on…he had his Muslim on almost. He was sharp, and he was ready to write his epithet. All we did was record it. He was knocking the songs out so fast like, “Can’t we do another one?” Then he would go to the next studio, back in the back, and knock another one out. Then he goes back to Can-Am, in the big room, knocks out “California Love” [click to read] and “Can’t C Me” [click to read]. Then he gets back with Daz, and they…What was that other one they did?
Kurupt: Nah, “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” was the one Daz did when ‘Pac first got out of jail. Suge called Daz, and Daz was already up there at the studio. That was the first song he did for the album. Then after that, Dr. Dre got a hold of him and they did “California Love.” Dre already had that first verse ready, and ‘Pac laid his verse down within 30 minutes of walking in the room. Then he did “Can’t C Me,” rolled in the other studio and did another one. He was just going back and forth. Really, he showed us a whole different work ethic.

good interview but i dont know what he ment.

[ironmike]

maybe he meant that pac was real serious to make music. in sort of reference to young black men who convert to islam, and get all serious, when they used to be clownin n stuff.

goin off track a bit, it was said that pac was supposedly having thoughts to convert to islam at certain times, but in the end didnt go through with it, or maybe he did, but didnt make it vocal before he died. i guess it would make sense, because his brother mopreme, and nearly all of the outlaws were muslims. i dunno, who cares anyways

[OG Hack Wilson]

according to Napoleon Pac was not muslim  (i asked Napo myself when he came up to Umaine in 2008)...all Napo said though was "Pac had his reasons"  (for not turning to Islam)


so it's not literal

[THETRUTHUG]

but MJ did convert

yeah dat´s i think and plus muslim is symbolized with hardness and  about everything like game said after that girl broke his chain " wow a muslim broke my chain muslim people are tha bomb"

[MOBNigga06]

Just to clarify for people, I think when Quik used the word "epithet," he meant "epitaph." An epithet is just a descriptive term whereas an epitaph is the statement about you on your gravestone.

I think he's refeering to discipline. Just my guess.
