I don't think Pac was like that either, Quik has been known to be on shyt throughout the years and he got this information secondhand. I wish I could find the video of this, it was on some radio station in Cali. But remember when it seemd like Quik was thoring shade on Pac by having that fake Pac at the concert?

Quik was everything Pac wanted to be. Plus I'm sure he wasn't a dikksuck.
