Kim Gardner passed away in 2001 at the age of 53 from cancer.

Kim was an English bass guitarist who performed with the Birds and also the Creation back in the 1960s.

The nostalgia is what keeps y'all in this loop.

Ask anybody in Junior Mafia if they were dirty.

Brooklyn N-Words when this album dropped, and they're going to say yes.

I wasn't offended by that.

This is the same energy that later shows up in coconut building stories, bootlegger fights, and studio confrontations.

So when you put that Decepticon cloth inside the rap game and hand him a situation with Biggie, Junior Mafia, and a record that starts a riff, you're not dealing with a regular rap beef anymore.

In the next chapter, Rock breaks down the exact night Pac got hit at Quad.

The songer accidentally put boot camp click at odds with Biggie, and how their own smoke with Biggie started on the very same night another war did.

By the time Rock starts talking about Biggie directly, you can hear the respect and the frustration fighting each other in his voice.

He walks it back to Quad Studios, to the night everything changed for Tupac.

Big and Junior Mafia are in the building working on music, and there's this record.

A record that, in Rock's memory, Pac was supposed to be around for, or at least connected to.

I'm sorry, I didn't like to let anybody comment.

I know Zinny was playing.

The one kill streak you call your homies, and it just shows all the homies running around like Junior M.A.F.I.A.

It kinda looks like H1 right here.

Yeah.
