L.A. rapper 03 Greedo continued to explain why he doesn't have to pay homage to 2Pac, telling Genius’ For the Record that while he may like some 2Pac songs, he doesn't think they're authentic.
He explained, "[2Pac's music is] tight, but it still sucks because it’s not authentic. It’s not coming from somewhere real. When I say, ‘I’ve been shot by who I love and told on by my family,’ that’s real s***. All that s*** is really what’s going on. These are really things I’m stressed out about in the morning—I’m shedding tears about when I’m not around people. So, you want me to pay homage? I don’t have to. Yeah, I like ‘I Ain’t Mad at Cha. I like certain songs and s***. But it don’t matter.
“[…] The thing is, with that interview, it’s like someone over there—whether it’s the staff or the person who was interviewing me, whoever it was—they were looking for shock value, or what my creative director calls ‘clickbait.'" People from California know things about Pac that people in the music world don’t. Period. I don’t give a f***. Let one of them Pac folks try to pull up on me, I don’t care he ain’t me. Don’t bring him up, period. I don’t remember him making his own beats. I don’t remember him singing. I’m doing 14 songs a night. You want to come to a session? I’ll fly you to Atlanta to see this s***. Every song is banger.”
