In a revealing interview, rapper Neckbone shared his thoughts on being named by Tupac Shakur in the song "To Live and Die in L.A." While appreciative of the shoutout, Neckbone admitted he wasn’t entirely comfortable with the public attention it brought. He recalled hearing the verse unexpectedly and realizing that Tupac’s mention would shine a brighter spotlight on him, something he historically avoided by staying "in the cut" rather than seeking fame or publicity.
Neckbone explained that Tupac’s intent was to elevate everyone equally, but unlike others, Neckbone preferred maintaining a low profile. He contrasted this with personalities like Suge, who embraced publicity despite criticism, acknowledging that Suge rightly earned his respect and credits in the industry. Ultimately, Neckbone respected Tupac’s gesture but valued keeping his work grounded and low-key, highlighting an intriguing dynamic between fame, respect, and personal choice in the hip-hop world.
