Tupac with Laurence Fishburne & Janet Jackson at the Poetic Justice Premiere
Q: What were your thoughts as you lay in the hospital recuperating from the gun shots?
Tupac: They shot me! Straight up, like I just kept thinking “They really did shoot me”. I really did believe at one point, up until I got shot, that no black person would ever shoot me. I was their representative. I believe that, um, you know I didn’t have to fear in my own community. You know, I was like, I represented them. I’m the ambassador to the world. They would never harm me, they would never rob me, they would never do me wrong -that’s not true, I’m just one man.

- I really look up to him. He gave me alot of great advice, I appreciate it. - Tupac Shakur
- What really struck me about him was his heart. Alot of people you think are good but they’re not good, they’re just well behaved. He probably wasn’t well behaved but he was good. You think of some other great famous rapper, that’s the opposite of Tupac, who got the good light, what you would say a white bread image. A really white image, whoever they may be and ask them for $100, $1,000, or something. Ask them for $1,000 and see if they give it to you. Ask Tupac - the people who think is crazy, demented, ask him for $1,000. Boom, you got it. That’s what separates the two; God judges our heart. Man judges our actions. And that’s why I thought was very special and genuine about him. That’s what separates him from basically the majority of the other people of his field. - Mike Tyson
- He always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it and I wish I did, that’s my biggest regret. - Mike Tyson
