San Francisco, California emcee San Quinn and Tupac Shakur both lived in Northern California in the early 1990s. Rap contemporaries, Quinn reportedly opened for Shakur and Digital Underground in 1989. However, in a new interview with Prezident’s Bejda’s The Murder Master Music Show of UGS Radio, San Quinn spoke for the first time about a violent clash with the then-budding superstar.
“I never got to meet [Tupac],” admitted Quinn. “We jumped him and got into a fight with him. We was trying to get him. Richie Rich got into it with him in 1992 at the Stone Theater on Broadway and we ran up on him.” Interestingly enough, ‘Pac and Richie Rich, who was an early Priority Records star with 415, would collaborate in the years to come on 1996’s “Ain’t Hard 2 Find,” “Ratha Be Ya Nigga” and later, “Niggaz Done Changed.” San continued, “We caught up with him and I was only about 14. It was like a little chuck-fest. We ended up taking one of Tupac’s rings. He lost it because he was swinging the mic stand.”
Quinn, who collaborated extensively with Messy Marv and Keak Da Sneak, recalled, “He was swinging on us with the mic stand and his ring came off. He hit a couple of us but we got him and tripped him, but they head out the back door. That is my fondest memory of Tupac Shakur. My nigga Jermaine Brown—rest in peace; he died back in 1998—but he was the one that ended up with the ring. This is the first time I told that story to anybody on air. Niggas know about it because me, JT [Tha Bigga Figga and Rappin’] 4-Tay we was there! We was thick. There ar people you can ask that can vouch for that story.”
In 2011, Quinn released Can’t Take The Ghetto Out A Nigga on Prominent House Records.

And?
98‰ of the people leaving comments on this bullshit article are fuckin retarded. Why dont you try researching some of the shit you hear before believing it all? Ya dumb fuck simpletons.
so is it rich richie or richie rich?? make up your mind you have used both in this story and the headlines
YEAH dude who wrote this article is an idiot… San Quinn was jumping Richie Rich for disrespecting his hood in a song and Tupac was in Richie Richs crew so he helped Richie Rich fight back… it was San Quinn VS Richie Rich and Tupac.. not Richie Rich and San Quinn VS Tupac
you had all the time in the world to talk about this when he was alive and you chose not to, But it’s o.k to talk about a person in this way who’s been dead for well over a decade. Let the fucking man rest in piece nobody cares about what you did 21 years ago..Disrespectful try-hards
if he woulda bragged about this shit when he was alive he woulda got murked
lol another so called hardcorerapper who was robb. I get the feeling that Pac was just some studio gangster with no streetcredbility. (no hate)
street niggas get robbed and shot too. its part of the game. especially when you not walking around with a team of big ass bodyguards or an entourage of 50 useless niggas
it wasn’t Tupac they was after.. They was jumping Richie Rich.. Tupac jumped in to help Richie Rich
Who give a fuck Quinn??? Smh, nobody would click on if you didnt mention Pac. We all kno his team wasnt hard before Suge, did you jump him after he got with Suge??? THAT WOULD BE A STORY!
pac got jumped so many times and he lost like every fight
Now tell us a story of when you or rich got jumped. If you in the streets and over 30 you been jumped………………….
excatly…. so what.
San Quinn was jumping Richie Rich, not Tupac.. Tupac was in Richie Richs crew so he helped Richie Rich defend against San Quinn.. the editor of this article got his story fucked up.. San Quinn don’t really rap like he is a street dude.. But I do know he had his studio jacked like $60,000 worth of studio equipment.. but luckly like the next month he signed a $100,000 distribution deal
fuck this nigga
cool story bro lol
smh cant even share a story with you internet pussies…yall do the same shit every time…
What do u think is gonna come from saying u jumped him nigga u said u was like 14 u probably was the lil nigga that got smacked wit the mic ya bish!!!
the interviewer had asked him if he ever had met or ran into 2pac at any shows.. so he said he never met him but he did get into a fight with him.. They was young teenage niggas who was trying to jump Richie Rich because they felt like he disrespected there neighborhood in one of his songs… Tupac came to Richie Rich’s aid to help him.. RICHIE RICH and 2PAC were close friends… who ever wrote this article is an idiot.. San Quinn and his crew went to jump Richie Rich.. not 2pac it was 2pac who felt he had to help Richie rich so that is the only reason why they fought Tupac.. 2pac was not the target he was just a nigga in Richie Richs crew
I was there too when Tupac got jumped! Afterwards I bent San Quinn over rotisserie style in the restroom and basted the fuck outta his black ass!
2Pac was not immortal so its not a shock or a big deal. People get jumped everyday. Win or lose Pac is still revered higher than Quinn all day.
No doubt. Pac was surrounded by, and still has love far beyond anything these punks can imagine. May he rest in peace.
San Quinn ran into Rick Ross recently and said afterwards, that’s the realest nigga I’ve ever met.
no one thinks ricky is a real nigga and the only niggas who ever said he is are the ones who rely on that nigga for money so ofcourse they say that shit
This is Irrelevant as ur rap career
hahaha check soundscan nigga… San Quinn is a major factor on the underground scene.. funny thing is that if u have ever watched the show “Sons of Anarchy” u have probably heard his song “Paid”
It was an honor to have Quinn speak about this for the first time on air on my show. Thats some Tupac history most of us never knew about.
I think its funny that ya’ll aint listening to the story, and tryna dig other shit up… Quinn just telling a story from his childhood days growing up trying to get on the scene… Ya’ll like “Oooh damn”, but ya’ll agreed that with him when he said Pac would be a billionaire right now if he was still alive… So why take a little part of the interview and try make some shit out it that aint even there, when you agreeing with everything else?
… The closest any you motherfucka’s got to PAC was listening to his album… LOL…
Free$Money got you Quinn, all day – Done Deal!
If it was 1on1 I would be impressed I hate pussies who jump people and it’s usually blacks and mexicans that do that weak faggot shit. So I’m sorry, whoever you are, but your story doesn’t impress me, it disgusts me
just as Patrick explained I’m alarmed that anybody able to profit $4602 in 4 weeks on the computer. have you read this webpage… http://www.cafe44.com
Generally women lookin for a scholarship are probably fresh outta high school going away to college at the end of the month and are probably 17 or 18 year old! thats over half his age!!!!
what makes him think someone won’t jump him or even put him in the dirt for this confession he should of kept to himself?
all pacs homies are like 50 now bruh they aint ridin like that
he wasn’t saying it in a bragging type of way.. the interviewer had asked him if he ever had met Pac and San Quinn said no, BUT….. and then told his story.. They was running up on Richie Rich for a song he had did.. Tupac was Richie Richs friend and was helping Richie Rich defend against San Quinn and his crew.. San Quinn is not the type of rapper that wears jewelry or brags about money so there is no need to worry about getting jumped.. furthermore San Quinn was literally like 12 years old back in 1992 he is only 33 years old
San Quinn & Berner Cookies and Cream album just came out check out the videos All In and Fly Away….
Coke head stories, this would of been interesting 10yrs ago.
A clown ass nobody tryna dick ride a dead man. Nigga who cares about a fight that took place 21 yrs ago? Who cares who you jumped? Who care Rich broke ass robbing corner stores?
THE QUESTION IS: WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?? AND WHO GIVES A FUCK??
If you don’t know San Quinn, you literally know fuck all. You know nothing about hip hop, you’re almost certainly 13 years old (at most) and are almost certainly mentally disabled. Put the Lil Wayne CD down and listen to some real shit bitch.
yeah he wasn’t tryin to dick ride nobody.. the editor of this article sucks.. I heard the actual interview the interviewer had to ask San Quinn 3 times if he had ever met 2pac and then he asked “Really, u never bumped into Tupac back in the 90s when u guys was doin shows all around the Bay Area”.. that is when San Quinn said yes and told his story..2nd of all RICHIE RICH and 2PAC was good friends back in the day.. in the interview San Quinn says him and his crew was running up on Richie Rich cuz he had mention their neighborhood in one of his songs “I always stay strapped even in FILLMORE”.. 2Pac was with Richie Rich and was fighting back with him…. The person who wrote this article is an idiot there is videos all over youtube with Richie Rich and 2pac kickin it together, in the studio and shit THEY WAS FRIENDS!!!… HELL RICHI RICH WAS ON “ALL EYES ON ME” ALBUM ON THE SONG “ALL ABOUT YOU” THAT IS RICHIE RICH TALKING IN THE BEGINING OF THE SONG!!!!!!!.. so get ur story right before u talk shit
dude you from san fransisco, we not buying your album. nope.
Bruh San Quinn got record sales bruh.. he been in the game for 20 years and he is barley 30 years old.. he has had a bunch of songs on movies and TV shows.. him and his producer JT The Bigga Figga was the first people to sign The Game before Dr. Dre signed him.. San Quinn is Ya Boy’s cousin and he was the first person to sign Ya Boy before he went to Blackwallstreet.. I have heard The Roots cover San Quinns “Ayo for Yayo” song.. San Quinn is not some unkown no name rapper.. just cuz u don’t know him don’t mean shit
shuuuuut up. San Quinn is NOTHING.
FIRST OF ALL… Richie Rich and 2pac was friends.. San Quinn and his crew was getting at Richie Rich said in a song “I stay strapped even in Fillmore”.. Fillmore is the neighborhood where Quinn is from so they took it as disrespect. So they got at Richie Rich and 2pac was part of Richie Rich’s crew so he fought back too. The writer tries to make it as if San Quinn was trying to make it seem like Quinn was bragging about fighting Pac but I heard the REAL INTERVIEW and the interviewer asked if he had ever met Pac back in the day when they was doin shows in the Bay and San Quinn said no.. then the interviewer said “Really, u guys never crossed paths back in the day?”.. then Quinn goes on to tell his story… Don’t git it twisted San Quinn is a certified rapper.. check the sound scan.. dude been rappin since he was 12 and is in the guinesse world record books for being featured on the most albums ever a record he broke when he was only 19
he still sucks donkey dick at everything.
he still sucks donkey dick at everything.
he still sucks donkey dick at everything.
he still sucks donkey dick at everything.
JAKE PAINE… You need to be FIRED!!!!!!!! Go back and listen to the enterview idiot…. San Quinn says he was running up on Richie Rich because Richie Rich had said in a song “I stay strapped even in Fillmore”.. San Quinn is from Fillmoe and took it as disrespect.. Richie Rich and Pac was on the stage when they tried to jump Richie Rich and Pac (BEING RICHIE RICHS FRIEND) fought back WITH Richie rich, not against Richie Rich
Neva Talk Down On A Playa!!!! Every1 kno 2pac Luved Rappin 4tay… Point is Controversy Sales, But don’t beef in ‘ya own back yard. Be Intelligent when you put ’em in check, cause wen ‘ya ignorant you get treat that way.
Snitchin frfr
Not talking down on Tupac but he do sound like he was snitchin tho im just saying why speak on something that happened and niggas done came up on tupac ring and you broadcast that on AIR!!!
Like WTF bruh Yall rap about being from the streets but yet you dont follow one of the main laws of being in street. FRFR if Pac was alive he would be hot to find out who stole his ring. But im just saying tho.
Great, you have horrible chracter and you think your sly for being a RAT running up on a REAL poet (ooooh, your hard, derrrr…..not). San, your a pathetic fool with NO TALENT.
