I talked to friends.

I read past interviews.

They went to Baltimore School of the Arts together.

She was not well-liked at Baltimore School for the Arts, actually.

I interviewed about 50, 60 students who went there with both of them.

He did not get in a fight with Michael Jackson.

not true they're not gonna fight michael jackson i am sorry he did um i mean he did he did i would say this among other things he dated um okay he dated madonna wrote her kind of a breakup letter from prison and she was basically like uh he dated lisa lisa from lisa lisa and called to him um madonna did in fact i mean not madonna janna jackson did in fact demand that she wouldn't do a kissing scene with him unless he got an hid test in poetic justice

I talked to the production assistant who went in and had to tell him that Janet insists you get an AIDS test.

And his response was, F her, F you.

And they wound up doing the scene anyway, but he never got the AIDS test.

So there's some other ones for you.

I know.

Number five.

All right, I'm gonna do five, I'm gonna do it in order.

Damn it.

Okay.

Number five, I found the EMT, he'd never been interviewed before, who got to Tupac when he was shot at Quad Studios.

There's always been rumors that Tupac shot himself in the ball, because one of his shots, he got three shots, one in the head, one in the hand, one in the testicles.

There's always rumors he shot himself in the testicles.

I found the EMT, he lives in Maine, he'd never been interviewed before, he was surprised no one had ever interviewed him before.
