I met my brother rashad at a restruant .
The waiter bring us to our reservation table. We order our food & drinks .
Me : "so rashad how everything has been "
Rashad : "really good . I'm taking a trip to south Africa in 3 weeks "
Me : " thats good but be safe rashad "
I then see a teenage boy come up with a tupac shirt . I scrunch up my face & roll my eyes in disgust .
Rashad notices & stops the teenage boy & says " nice shirt you know he is one of my favorite rappers "
My eyes widen in disbelief . RASHAD SUPPORTS THIS CRAP .
the teenage boy says " thanks i really understand him & his music he really helps the community with his songs "
" I feel the same it was nice talking to you young man " rashad says .
They shake hands & then the teenage boy leaves .
Rashad then turns to me .Rashad : "tupac , tupac my man ".
I look in disgust.Rashad : "what ? "
Me : " its funny . because missy wants me to do a three song collarbation with him ."
The waiter comes up & gives us our drinks .
Rashad : "really that's awesome what did you say ?" Rashad says with so much excitement in his voice .Me : "I said no. " I say before I sip my water .
Rashad looks confused
Rashad : why ?Me : because he is a gangster . he runs around talking about thug life . the law doesn't like him . even charity event that I donate too don't even like pac . he is too thugish . it will ruin my reputation & image . "
Rashad : "no Aayliah PAC is a good person. those people make him seem bad because they don't want to see a black man go no where ."
Me : "rashad I just can't I already had a piece of my reputation crushed because of r - "
I stop as I almost swell up in tears .Rashad holds my hand .
Rashad : "sis you have to do this do it for me please sis " he looks deeply into my eyes .
Rashad never asked me for anything. so I knew this was important to him & he literally supports me in everything. so I just said in my mind what the hell give it a shot its only three songs its not like in doing whole album with him. I wipe my tears & say
Me : "ok bro for you "
Rashad : "now that's my little buthead sister "
I chuckle . me & rashad eat our food & then leave .
As soon as me & rashad get in the parking lot . I make a phone call .
Missy : "hello ?"
Me: "have Mr . shakur in our studio this Saturday "
Missy yells in excitement
Missy : "yes girl I will call him right now "
She hangs up the phone.
For some weird reason I have a huge smile on my face knowing that I'm working with tupac .
