I was interning at Loud Records in L.A. on melrose When Xzibit got signed and was working on Paparazzi. First Xzibit is a helluva good dude from my interactions with him. Always said what’s up even when I saw him outside the office and he didn’t have to say a thing to a lowly intern. Anyway though from the second he brought in that E-Swift beat, then they added the lyrics, you knew paparazzi was going to be a hit And Xzibits album was going to be 🔥. I know for a fact though Xzibit wouldn’t have dissed pac at all especially during that time in L.A. because PAC had everyone on his back and west coast rappers did appreciate that.

Thanks for all of the classics that you've endorsed into, can't forget your contributions especially with The Infamous

[@dragonballsuper1519]

If you put aside Tupac's once in a generation talent, you realize he was extremely toxic to the rest of the Hip Hop scene and refused to share a throne or kingdom with any other contemporary alpha rapper like Biggie, Nas, DMX, Jay-Z, etc and the rise of Eminem was only possible because Tupac died.

One thing about Pac he was always on the rag, catching feelings about something, paparazzi even to this day is still an all-time classic hit and this is coming from a dude that grew up in New York City when rap was a toddler, Xzibit and Pac was lyricist

[@leodjoneluv]

a lot of rappers were sneak dissing but to scared to call pacs name out. your ignorant ass wasnt even born when pac was here

[@Mickieshelton]

No rag..he got shot..had to call motherfuckers out like any real man would

[@L1am21]

Pretty edi said years ago his shot at xzibit on bomb 1st was his own choice and had nothing to do with pac. Edi prob just wanted a battle.

[@amsequeira2282]

I have to agree. Pac was always catching feelings always paranoid. Was always thinking everyone is his enemy and out to plot against him. He was willing to diss everyone in the rap game. He had too many people whispering in his ear. Yet, he actually never seemed to go to retaliate against the Haitian Jack & his goons in NY who tried to kill him. Its like he got run out of NY

[@reggiereg91]

Got a little question for that nigga that made "Paparazzi" If you ain't in this rap game, for the motherfuckin cash mayne Then what is your motherfuckin purpose? None can serve us E.D.I. Mean born worthless

[@antoniokastrocarlisledemel6617]

I remember hearing about this back in 2002...before that i use to wonder why E.d.i. said that line in Bomb First..i mean it's not an outright diss but it kinda felt like there was some tension there..cool hearing about it again...X is underappreciated and hardly ever mentioned in list of greatest mcs but X was a monster on the mic and that line in Paparazzi even me back then only being 12 in 97 i knew what u meant by that line and I'm sure e.d.i. knew as well..im with u on that to this day man Respect is what's most important to me..I'll always appreciate it bruh..this situation especially cuz of the whole east west shit is a little understandable...it reminds me of how Pac make amends with Nas before he died

First heard Paparazzi playing Tony Hawk's 3, good times. Later on bought At The Speed of Life, banging first album, underrated classic.

[@ratedg100]

Never knew 2pac dissed him 🤭

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

Yea but wasn’t good at dissecting lyrics. Xzibit wasn’t even talking about him. That’s like Pac dissed at Nas because of the song The Message where Nas said “Fake thug, no love, you get the slug, CB4 Gusto Your luck low, I didn't know 'til I was drunk though”.

[@makavelli7211]

He didn't. All Eyez On Me was released on Feb. 13, 1996 while Paparazzi came out after. Of anything, the diss was by EDI on Bomb First.

[@SoulOfTheSouth]

@@makavelli7211 It was a mistype. I was saying Xzibit didn’t diss Pac.

[@makavelli7211]

@PBBTV You're right. The whole thing was a misunderstanding.
