Redman on Being Around Keith Murray and 2Pac When Beef Almost Blew Up

Redman spoke exclusively to VladTV about his song "Got My Mind Made Up" appearing on 2Pac's All Eyez on Me, which he admits wasn't the original plan. Redman went on to explain that he and Method Man originally recorded the song with Daz Dillinger and Kurupt, but 2Pac demanded to have all of the "hot" material for his album and he took the Redman feature for himself.
Moving along, Redman spoke about meeting 2Pac several times, including during his beef with Keith Murray, which Redman said almost blew up on one occasion. To hear more of what Redman had to say, hit the above clip.

BEST COMMENT ON KZbin

[@thuginicantplaya9990]

Tupac had some much love for Wu Tang, and Redman. There's a few interviews where he shouts out Red, and on his song Representin 93. Pac literally used Method Man's opening verse for Bring The Pain for the hook of No More Pain along with giving him and RZA shout outs inside the album. If you look at his plans for All Eyez On Me, he wanted Raekwon and Meth along with RZA for a beat.

Got My Mind Made Up was such a great record. It was one of the few tracks from All Eyez On Me that radio played out here in NY (for obvious petty reasons). Everybody on that song snapped, and it was one of the many moments where it disproved all the "Pac ain't lyrical, he can't hang with real lyricsits" bullshit that people try to spread.

I heard Daz say 2pac came in heard the beat and wrote his verse and laid his verse in 10 minutes & then went on to write and record 4 more songs right after it. So It's always been amazing how fast he could write his songs, imagine if he really wanted to bust punchlines and bars like his early days. Then again he kept it real as usual.

He had an open mind. He read various genres of different materials, exposed to different music etc from a young age. I mean, if you really read the letters that he wrote to people, the poetry and unfinished scripts that he has - it shows! He wasn't a typical kid born in the ghetto etc.

What happened was Pac was walking through a crowd and Keith tried to grab Pac from behind, but just as he was about to grab him, Frank Alexander grabbed Keith Murray arm and put it in a lock. 2pac turned and not knowing what the hell was going on and Keith was standing behind him, with his arm twisted, Pac told Frank to let go, heated words were exchanged because of Frank nearly breaking Keiths arm, but everyone calmed down and they talked it out like men.
