In this clip, the tragic event of Tupac Shakur's shooting in Las Vegas was discussed. Ne-Yo shared his personal reaction to the news, saying it felt surreal and like a tabloid story. He recalled the disbelief turning into reality when listening to the radio playing Tupac's songs the following day. Speaking of the potential danger in Las Vegas, Ne-Yo expressed surprise about such a violent event happening there, as it is not generally known for crime. Speaking on Tupac's enduring legacy, Ne-Yo praised him as a passionate storyteller with the ability to captivate his audience. He further admired Tupac's ability to discuss underrepresented issues and conditions in the hood that aren't typically covered positively in news broadcasts, labeling him a "ghetto newscaster."
