How long did that album take to record?

I would say a month and a half. The demos we did with Trackmasterz, most of them ended up going on. The demos were on 4-track, so we had to re-record them. “Checkin’ Out The Avenue” was the reason that Tupac and I became very close friends. Stretch said, “You’ve gotta meet my homeboy, because he’s in love with that demo you did”, which was “Checkin’ Out The Avenue”. We met in Atlanta, and that song created one of the most substantial friendships of my adult life. Kool G Rap – I idolised him. He’s an amazing lyricist and wordsmith. He’s somebody who’s never gotten his just due. He wrote “I’ll Take Your Man” for Salt ‘N Pepa, he wrote stuff for Roxanne Shante. That man’s a thinker. He gave me the validation that it’s OK to write for someone else. The stuff he wrote was from their point of view, that’s a gift. “This Is How We Fuck It Up…” was a big deal for me. It was almost like, “I can’t make this album without him on it”. Having him on that song was like a stamp of, “I think you’re a dope rapper”.

A few weeks ago, a well-known digging related website reviewed your 12” “think big”, which features notorious big as well as lord tariq. As far as I remember, this had to be recorded short after “party and bullshit” came out, so Biggie wasn’t that big - how did you get in contact with him and finally get him on that track?
I knew Biggie for quite some time becasue we were both up and coming lyricists on the grind. A friend of mine, 9Hawk - who used to road manage Big Daddy Kane - put me on to him. We used to speak all the time and I had been Tupac's friend since he danced for Digital Underground so the song was bound to happen – I called him and I told him I wanted him on the song. He said he would come to the studio and I still paid him cause I had a deal. The only song he had out at the time was party and bullshit.

So you had contact to Biggie and Pac...how did you see their contact? were they cool down or how did you see these rumors about the east/west conflict?
There are many truths that have not been revealed and T don't want to be the person who does that, but I will say that I knew Pac before I knew biggie - through my homeboy Stretch from the group Live Squad (he was murdered)… lets say I chose my side; Pac was my brother, Biggie and I were rappers that were cool - Lil Cease and i are still cool.
