2Pac was apparently working on a full project with Goodie Mob before his passing, according to a group member.

During an interview with According 2 Hip Hop published on Tuesday (November 28), Big Gipp said that the Southern legends were working on a record with Pac, though he didn’t say much else about it.

“Before he got out [of] Death Row, he was already calling our office and was like, ‘Yo, when I get out, I’m comin’ to Atlanta,’” he explained. “He’d did New York, he’d did LA and I think he’d wanted to come and finish his career off in Atlanta.”

Big Gipp has previously talked about ‘Pac and his relationship with Goodie Mob, even going so far as to claim that the “Dear Mama” rapper wanted to join the group.

In a 2o21 interview that seems to stand in some contrast to his new one, Gipp stated that his group turned down working with the rapper and actor because “being in business with Death Row — we just knew that wasn’t the right thing for us at the time.”

Gipp has always expressed his admiration for Shakur. Earlier this year, the Goodie Mob member voiced his dissatisfaction with Billboard and Vibe’s Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list, claiming that if 2Pac were still alive, he would have lyrically bested JAY-Z.

“The only reason why you inching Jay past 2Pac is because he got god-damn Beyoncé,” Gipp said in an interview with The Art of Dialogue. “You take Beyoncé away then shit, bar for bar, yeah, he might rap better than ‘Pac. But ‘Pac came with the heart. That’s different, that’s just different. You can never beat the heart, bro. Some people can be technical, just like the difference between Jordan and LeBron.”

He continued: “If ‘Pac was here, who you think the girl would have been with? Hold up … you still can’t act. You can’t do no movies, you can’t do what ‘Pac was doing. C’mon, how can you be better than ‘Pac? … that boy was a triple threat. He did groups that was successful, solo albums that was successful and movies that was successful. If he had lived, he would have smoked everything walking.

He concluded that no one recorded “as fast” as 2Pac, and noted that girls loved him back when he starred as Bishop in the film Juice.
