He's a layered person, so you have to tackle all the aspects of Tupac individually.

I have to say that I'm a very passionate person.

Tupac was a person who was all about love. I feel like that's me, too; that's who I've always been.

Everybody has the Tupac that they admire. Certain people love the hip-hop person, the rapper. Strictly just the rapper. A lot of people, the newfound Tupac fans... they're into Death Row-era Tupac. But that was only nine months!

I will say this: Rapping-wise, there has never been anybody to match Tupac's energy when coming on a song, like when rappin'. It's unmatched. You can't duplicate it.

If you want it, and you want to get it, then you've got to work hard for it, like Tupac was working hard for it.
