Posted by N/A on

Journalist Jeff Weiss discusses with DJ Skee the late great rappers 2Pac and Biggie. In his new book, 2Pac vs Biggie: Rap’s Greatest Battle, the author provides an interesting outlook on both artists from a standpoint of 15 years later following their untimely deaths.

More importantly, Weiss tackles what they mean to the hip hop culture, the importance of their music and their overall impact which keeps both rap artists relevant to this day. DJ Skee and Jeff Weiss also address the past rumor of potential tension that may have been brewing between 2Pac and Will Smith, Pac’s potential in acting, and the invisible line that was crossed in his beef with Biggie and the avoidable dangers it demonstrated to the entire industry.
