Tupac Interview Released Where He Details Quad Studio Shooting
. "I felt like 'Pac represented really where hip-hop was," said Powell. "This young black male who represented the street side of things, but he also was intellectual. This dude had gone to the Baltimore School for the Performing Arts. He was quoting Shakespeare. He could go back and forth. So in an interesting way, 'Pac was kind of a combination of like Public Enemy and N.W.A, elements of both were happening in him. There wasn't a lot of folks like that." Powell released a portion of an interview in which Tupac describes the night he was shot outside of New York's Quad Recording Studio, the incident that ignited the feud between himself and Biggie Smalls. Although that interview is now public, the names remain censored over twenty years later. "People are still alive. People have to understand, it got so crazy during that time, not only did Tupac and Biggie get killed, if people actually did their research, a lot of folks got killed over a course of a couple of years," the author explained. Powell plans to begin working on a biography of the late rapper and has already received the blessing from Pac's mother Afeni Shakur.
