I conducted this interview with Tupac Shakur on August 10, 1993, when I was working as a freelancer for the Calendar section of The Los Angeles Times. It was the first time I had ever spoken to Tupac. The LA Times had no interest in what the budding 22-year-old rap star had to day, so I pitched it to Rolling Stone.
At the time of the interview, Tupac was pissed at me due primarily to my coverage of a 19-year-old car thief named Ronald Howard, who was subsequently executed by the State of Texas for a murder that law enforcement blamed on Tupacs cop-killing lyrics. Howard had stolen a truck and shot a Trooper in the face while listening to Pacs 2Pacalypse Now album. The cops recovered the tape from the cassette deck of the stolen vehicle. A clever lawyer representing Howard decided to put Pacs cop-killing music on trial.
As a result, police organizations across the nation took to staging angry protests against Tupac. Politicians, including then-vice president Dan Quayle, grabbed headlines during an election year trashing Tupac at televised rallies. Pac blamed me for inflaming the scandal because I flew out to Texas and interviewed the kid who shot the trooper, as well as the troopers widow, who later filed suit against Tupac and Time Warner, which was already entrenched in a political firestorm following its release of Ice Ts underground heavy metal hit, Cop Killer.
