CL Smooth was cool with Pac before DR & after Digital Underground. Ppl forget Pac was always in NY from 91, 92, 93, 94, 95 up until the shooting. He was only on DR for just about a year not yearS. Pac was all over the 5 boroughs, New Rochelle etc. Bro was bouncing from LA to ATL to NY regularly. One week he's hanging out with E-40,Governor, Richie Rich, Spice 1 in the Bay. Next week he's in ATL with Erick Sermon, Left Eye. Next week he's in Quenns with the Live Squad, Ed Lover to BK with Biggie to Mt Vernon with Hev, Dj Alamo, CL & Pete Rock. Next week he's in LA with Warren G, Thug Life (the group). Next week he's in Texas with Scarface & Devin The Dude. He was national with his. Pac was all over these New York. Remember my uncle telling us he was in a basement party in Queens. Just some local shit and he was big name at the time. Remember seeing him at Manhattan Proper (Sports Bar + Stand Up Comedy) on 217th & Linden Blvd in Queens when i was hanging with my cousin who lived on that side of town. We were in Kams Kitchen (Chinese restaurant), saw him pull up and he had to walk past Kams. All my cousins and our homies were shook to say what up.... So I said it, he replied with 'what up lil' ni99a!' 'me: it's all good, Pac! Nodded his head and kept it moving. That was in' 95.

[@BelovedSoulSeven]

During that time too, Pac was the ONLY rapper in the game that was connecting/working with so many artists coast to coast. Him being from NY then later CA gave him that edge. He set that trend. Whether it was with rappers from LA, the Bay, TX, ATL, NY, NJ, MI, etc., nobody else was really doing that until after he passed.

I grew up on eastcoast hiphop but dont think westcoast forgot how some newyork artist were acting back than. A lot of newyorker got tired of being in newyork and love the nice weather in cali so now they are forced to blend in from all the mess talked in the 90s. Of course not all newyork kats, but ill say out of all the regions of eastcoast newyork is the one the added fuel to the fire.
