Pumpkinhead interview talking about the 2pac/Freddie Foxxx/Benzino song

Pumpkinhead is an NYC rapper who is probably most known for guest appearing on the song "Peruvian Cocaine" by Immortal Technique (it's gotta be one of Technique's most popular songs). He was also a battle emcee in NYC back when battles were still freestyles.
I saw this interview YEARS ago...so it's gotta be old. anyways I just rediscovered it by accident and thought i'd post this tiny excerpt about the song Pac, Bumpy Knux and Benzino did:
Question: Can you point out the specific point in your life when you said "This is for me, I'm an emcee"?
Pumpkinhead: Hmmm. The specific point in my life? When I went, actually, to the studio and met Tupac. I met Tupac in the studio. It was a while ago, it was like during my first ventures into being an emcee. My manager at the time, this guy named Jay Dixxon who was Grand Puba's cousin, used to get me into all the spots. You know what I'm sayin'? And like, meeting all these emcees and shit, and rappers or whatever.
We went up to the studio, we went up to his hotel at first, he was rollin trees, chillin' with Alamo, who was Pubas DJ, and somebody else was there, I forgot who. Then we went in like a caravan into Queens. We picked up Stretch, who passed away also, from Live Squad. From there we went to Power Play Studios that was in Queens, where a number of people got robbed at like Fat Boys and a bunch of other people just used to get robbed there cause it was right next to Queens Bridge Projects.
We rang the doorbell and Freddie Foxxx came to the door with like, a glock and a big ass Rambo knife. Just makin' sure nobody was there to rob them. You know what I'm sayin'? So we came through and everybody was like "where's Pac at? Where's Pac at?". Pac comes runnin' up behind us and was like "You know I had to go to my cousins house and get the piece" and he had like, this big ass Tech 9 or whatever. [laughs]
I was buggin at first like I ain't really, you know, I mean being I was from the street, I was like "damn all these niggas got guns", you know what I'm sayin? I'm like "I don't know if I want to be here right now". [laughs] You know what I'm saying? What if something pops off but we went into the studio and I saw Pac go into the studio, Freddie Foxxx said "this is the beat right here", played the beat, Pac literally wrote a verse in 5 minutes. Like 5 to 8 minutes he did a verse, on a yellow pad with a sharpie marker, I remember it vividly. He did it, went in there and killed it in one take. That's when I was like "Yo, I want to do that!". You know what I'm saying? That's what I want to do. That's when I realized I definitely wanted to be an emcee in the game.
