Busta Rhymes Reflects On 2Pac Friendship With Crazy Story

In the same Fat Joe Show appearance that left Busta Rhymes wanting all the smoke with his buddy T.I, the legendary Flipmode rapper took a moment to reflect on his “incredible” friendship with the late 2Pac Shakur. “I had an incredible relationship with Pac,” says Busta, around the twenty-five-minute mark of the interview. “Me and Pac been friends from early Leaders days. Before he put out his shit, when he was still dancing with Digital Underground.

“Interesting story about one of the early Pac interactions,” he continues. “We had a college date to do, to do a show at one of the colleges. Digital Underground was performing and Leaders was performing. We only on our first album, and we had to do soundcheck. So we get to the soundcheck a little late, Digital had already done their soundcheck. I think Pac and Money B was still in the neighborhood.”

“We getting ready to do the soundcheck, but the soundman was on some bullshit,” continues Busta. “He’s shutting shit down and acting like he’s getting ready to leave. We kinda on some ‘damn, we really want to get this soundcheck done.’ The crazy thing is that Pac saw there was a little bit of friction going on. And he just came and involved himself in the situation. Pac turned to this white man and he was like ‘yo, I need you to cut this motherfuckin’ sound board on. Leaders of the New School are going to get their soundcheck done, right now. Fuck you talking about you ain’t turning on the equipment?’”

“He just started spazzing on dude,” continues Busta. “The man wasn’t trying to hear what Pac was talking about, so Pac just ran up on this motherfucka and started choking him. ‘You mothafucka!’ So we had to grab Pac, cause we ain’t askin’ for all of this, we just want a soundcheck! This ain’t war! But that’s the type of dude Pac was. He went out of his way to extend love.”

Fat Joe chimes in, noting that every time he saw Pac, the late rapper was “in violence.” “You know what it was, bro?” says Busta. “It’s a little frustrating for me, but it’s the truth. I think Pac really felt–he took on more of this responsibility to have to prove his love, when he really didn’t need to. The love he felt he needed to show people, that he wanted in return, he was already getting it. I don’t know why he felt the need to go above and beyond to the point where he would get himself in trouble, just to prove to somebody he got love for them. That’s what ended up getting him killed.”

“The situation that happened in Vegas, he went and got himself involved in something that ain’t have nothing to do with them,” he explains. “But because he was moving with those dudes on that team, he felt he had to go out of his way to prove to them that he gon ride for his family his team, whoever he moving with. It unfortunately ended up the way it did. It’s beautiful in one sense, cause he’s holding you down no matter what. But it’s also the thing that got him into a lot of situations he could have avoided.”

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
