It’s no secret that Prodigy
and 2Pac weren’t the best of friends before 2Pac’s tragic death
in Las Vegas. After all, Pac talked about Prodigy’s Sickle Cell
Anemia and told him and Havoc to “back the fuck up, before you get
smacked the fuck up.”

So, why would Prodigy use Pac’s
voice in a song now?

“I wouldn’t base any problems
that me and Pac had-that wouldn’t stop me from using his voice on a sample.
…It’s all about how the chorus sound-‘Oh that sh*t sound hot together-the
Biggie and the Pac sample sound good-’ I don’t give a fu*k about Pac! I’m just
saying that sh*t sound hot together; that’s a ill idea for a chorus. It don’t
matter what Pac did or whatever…that’s not the case. The case is the sh*t sound
like a good record,”
he told
Nobody Smiling of a song that uses Pac’s vocals in it’s chorus.

As DX reported earlier this month, Prodigy
is prepping the release of his next solo effort through Koch Records. Return
of the Mac
is scheduled to drop March 27. It will feature production from The
Alchemist
.
