Quincy Jones III says that 2Pac once wanted to work with Michael Jackson…but that Michael turned him down out of loyalty to Biggie Smalls.
“So I set up a meeting at Neverland [Ranch],” Jones III said on The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. “I go up there and told Michael about it. And do you know what Micheal said? He liked Biggie.”
Jones III, who is the son of Quincy Jones added shared what it was like to work with the late West Coast legend.
“‘Pac would take all my beats including the ones I would never play for people. I learned a lesson that you gotta be spontaneous more and he taught me how to just think and just do it. ‘Pac would get irritated when you sat there and fiddled with sounds almost like you were disrespecting his time a little bit.”
He added: “I would say he was manic. There would be moments that called for quiet voice and candles and all that and he would be screaming and smoking Newports. He was on fire with this manic push. He was always pushing. You could tell he wasn’t comfortable in some way and there was something that was making him uncomfortable.”
