Garland expressed his disapproval of Knight's influence, suggesting that Tupac didn’t need the chaos introduced into his life. Garland lamented the collective silence following Tupac’s shooting, reflecting on the broader no-snitching culture within hip-hop that hindered justice. Despite the chaotic environment, Garland cherishes fond memories of Tupac, recalling his infectious smile and his aspirations to distance himself from past mistakes. Tupac's legacy remains strong, immortalized in murals worldwide, much like the legendary Bob Marley. Garland emphasized Tupac’s initial intent to spotlight societal issues, expressing disappointment over hip-hop’s commercialization.
