Xzibit Explains The Beef Between Him and 2Pac.

Xzibit on how 2Pac felt like he dissed him on his song "Paparazzi" and him getting dissed by Outlawz member Edi Mean on 2Pac's song "Bomb First"

[@djoseph3124]

Xzibit also said in the sone paparazzi, “either you’re a soldier from the start, or a actor with a record deal, trying to play the part” so I’m sure Tupac took that line into consideration as well
