Prodigy Talks about Sampling 2Pac and Rap Beef

Remember the days of the East Coast vs West Coast beefs? When Pac was going at Biggie, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z and everybody else?

In 2007, Prodigy released his album Return of the Mac and the title track sampled 2Pac on the hook

The song sampled is from 2Pac's verse from the 1993 freestyle in Madison Square Garden that also featured The Notorious B.I.G. and Shyheim and Big Daddy Kane.

2Pac re-used his verse on a song called Nothing To Lose that was post-humously released on 1997's R U Still Down? (Remember Me) .

Here's an interview of Prodigy talking about sampling 2Pac and the talk about his previous beefs also come up.
