this song played an important part in the public exchange that concluded with both artists dead from fatal gunshot wounds.
the seemingly out of place "as a record label" portion of Tan's quote probably should have engendered some pause in the discerning reader.
A discerning reader would discern that the word record was missing from Tran's allusion to Tupac's song.
Here's the full quote, in its entirety:
>Fuck Chan Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a label and motherfucking crew
>And if you are down with Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a crew fuck you too
>Die slow motherfuckers
Compare and contrast with Tupac's lyrics:
>Fuck Mobb Deep, fuck Biggie
>Fuck Bad Boy as a staff, record label and as a motherfuckin' crew
>And if you want to be down with Bad Bo, then fuck you too*
>Chino XL, fuck you too
>All you motherfuckers, fuck you too (take money, take money)
>All of y'all motherfuckers, fuck you, die slow, motherfucker
The only part that was left intact is "die slow".
Which is hardly a quote. More of a violent, incoherent ramble.
