In a recent interview, legendary DJ, Eric B (of Eric B. & Rakim fame) talked about Tupac wanting to make a joint album with Nas back in 1996. That is hard for some to believe because Tupac had dissed Nas on a couple of songs on his 5th album. In 1996, two months after Tupac died, his first posthumous album dropped, titled The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. On that album, there were two tracks (Bomb First and Against All Odds) were Tupac dissed Nas, Mobb Deep, Jay Z and a host of other New York rappers. But a week before Tupac got shot and killed in Vegas, he ran into Nas at a park in New York. And after they spoke and squashed their beef, he planned to redo those tracks, and take Nas's disses out of them. But he died before that happened, and Suge Knight didn't want to tamper with Tupac's work, so he released the album like that.
Eric B was at the New York park that night when Nas and Tupac squashed their beef, and he said on the plane to Vegas, Tupac had told him he would love to make an album with Nas. Reggie Wright Jr, Tupac's ex-bodyguard also said something similar during his recent VLAD TV interview. Below are Eric B's words on Tupac wanting to make an album with Nas.
"I had a conversation with Tupac and I told him, I said, "I said, Pac let me say something to you. I said, remember as kids when you had a little dog, and you push the dog, or you kick him...you take a stick and keep sticking him? I said...Nas said he don't want no problems, I said but you gon wind up with a problem if you keep pushing him and pushing him, and you pushing him into a corner. And he's gonna bite you.' And he was like, 'Yo, E men! Yo nobody ever said that to me...' So we showed up at the park, we had probably about 80 people with us. Nas got another 50 60 people with him in the park. So I tell Pac, I said 'men, you gotta go over there and talk to him men.' Cos I said, 'We all...this is about to be a mess.' Now, we all from Queens, so you know, Nas is my little brother...so you know, we all family. So now, I'm in the middle. So I told Pac, I said, 'Pac, you you gotta make this right because this is about to be a mess.'
'You know what I'm saying. Because you keep pushing Nas into a corner, like he's a girly man, and that's not how he's built. So you force him to do something now.' So he went over, and they talked about it, and they hashed it out. And I'll never forget when Tupac came back he said, 'E Men, I just want to say thank you men. You right men. Nas is a cool dude, and this and that.' So the album that came out and he was dissing everybody on was not supposed to come out. Nas was supposed to fly back into L.A and him and Pac do an album together...I mean, I remember being on the plane with Pac and he was so excited. He was like, 'E men, you right men. Nas is a good dude.' He said, 'E men, I got some records men. I got to erase all these records.' And he wanted Nas to come out and he wanted to do an album with him. He was excited about it. 'Yo E after we come back from the fight, Yo men I'ma call Nas and fly him out here men, and see if he feels like coming out men, or I'll go back out there.' He was excited, you know, to work with Nas."
That would have been a great album, but unfortunately, Pac never came back from Vegas. He was shot after the Mike Tyson fight, and died a couple of days later.
