R&B singer Ray J was recently interviewed by music service Rhapsody.com about his experiences growing up - some involving meeting Hip Hop legends. Below is a detailed discussion.
"We walked in one day and Faith was sitting on Pac’s lap while Pac was writing a verse. It was like, “What the f*ck is going on?” That was one of the craziest sights, dog. Faith was in Pac’s lap. I was like, “What the f**k? I know I’m not? Is that? It can’t?” Three weeks later, “Hit ‘Em Up” came out. There’s a couple of people that came up out of that camp. Bow Wow was in Snoop’s camp. Keyshia Cole was always through Death Row in her younger days. I used to see Keyshia all the time in there with Pac. I’m not hating on nobody. I got love for Faith. That was unbelievable, during the time of the East Coast-West Coast beef."
Ray J continued, and spoke of his favorite memory of Tupac: "I always just hung out with Pac and smoked and chilled. He always used to give young niggas advice to just work hard and never give up on your dreams."
"He was just a funny dude," said Ray J of Pac. "He always cracked jokes on whoever had bad breath or nappy hair. I used to spend more time with Snoop and Suge. [Snoop] used to come pick me up and I’d tell my dad I’m going down the street to do my homework. I would just come back later and pass out."
The singer also recalled the last thing the west coast legend ever said to him: "I seen Pac the day before they left. Suge bought Snoop, Pac, and Dr. Dre Rolls Royces. I think they all caravanned. The last thing Pac said was, “Aright, little homey, we out.” A day later I found out he got shot."
Ray J was even lucky enough to see another Hip Hop legend, The Notorious B.I.G., right before he died. "I was with Big two days before he died. I smoked two or three blunts with Big. We watched a Lil Kim video. He talked to me about some real shit. He was gonna get on the remix for “Everything That You Want” off my album and then two days later he was dead. He invited me to his hotel. Cease picked me up."
"Big was hella-cool. He was talking about how big Lil Kim was gonna be. And that was right when that video came out for “Crush On You.” He showed me the first version of that. I walked in [his room at at the Four Seasons] and the nigga had some shorts on and a tank top getting his hair cut. He was just a real nigga.He did some shit on [Brandy’s TV show] Moesha. So [his crew] came up like, “Biggie wanna get you high.” We sat back and smoked. I got his number. The nigga hit me the next day to come to the hotel. So me and my homey went up there and chilled. I was about 16. The day he died I seen him with Puff. I tried to say what’s up to Puff, but Puff didn’t see me. Then I seen Big and he was like, 'What’s up, my nigga.' I hugged Big and the nigga smelled like soap. That’s all I remember. He just smelled fresh like, 'Damn, he a big nigga but he smell like soap.'"
I wonder why he has conveniently forgotten when he found out Brandy was pregnant. I wonder what he thinks about her lying about being married. There's some gossip that seems a little more close to home for him, and that people would be more willing to believe. Hang out your own dirty laundry!

Dam ya'll some haters. He has no reason to lie & even if he is, he don't have to answer to no-names like you. Everyone (including most of the names mentioned here) can read this & would call him out if it wasn't true. I found the story rather interesting myself.......

This n**** Ray J is a piece of s***. A lot of people don't know this, but when 50 came out in 2003 and had that serious hype behind his name, Ray J said, "I don't know why everybody is paying so much attention to 50, I used to be in a gang". Ray J said that because there was a lot of talk about 50's "ganster image". Ray J was working on a project at that time. Bottom line: Ray J wasn't old enough to make the statements he made in the interview about Tupac or BIG. Ray J needs promo assistance. The best thing he did for himself was s***tin that whore out on camera and selling the tape. Only thing is, she made out better than him. Her whole family got a TV show and now she gets paid $6000-$10000 to appear at parties. Caron Butler from the Washington Wizards had a birthday party last month and had her there for only $5000 because he's cool with some of Kim's people from when he was playing for the Lakers. Kim's buddy Paris Hilton wanted $25,000 to come to the party, but his people said no.

Ray-J may/may not be a lot of things to many,but he deosn't seem to be a person who would have to lie about who he has hung around or does hang around. I mean what would be the point-NONE! He and Snoop are cousins(the family are from Mississippi) and that's the connection to all the above mention people(plus he and Brandy have been in the entertainment business for many years).Brandy and Suge have been seen in pictures and videos on the net being very loving and fimilar with each other. Now if you want to call him a lier,then wait until he says he 's a platinum selling artist,then that would be the LIE(not hating)I like the the dude a little-LOL!,until then give the dude a break.

I admit this story does sound a little deceitful, I don't see Snoop and Suge hanging out with Ray J back then like that. I like Ray J but he does like to stretch the truth. The n**** got a big d*** though and he ain't never lied about that
