San Quinn Talks Publicly for the First Time About His Violent Run-in With 2Pac in ‘92

In a frank and candid interview, San Quinn talks to Prezident’s Bejda about his violent run-in with 2Pac and Richie Rich in 1992 at the Stone Theater on Broadway. 

The Fillmoe emcee recalls the 1992 incident: “We jumped him and got into a fight with him. We was trying to get him. We caught up with him and I was only about 14. It was like a little chuck-fest. We ended up taking one of Tupac’s rings. He lost it because he was swinging the mic stand.”He was swinging on us with the mic stand and his ring came off. He hit a couple of us but we got him and tripped him, but they head out the back door. That is my fondest memory of Tupac Shakur. My nigga Jermaine Brown—rest in peace; he died back in 1998—but he was the one that ended up with the ring. This is the first time I told that story to anybody on air. Niggas know about it because me, JT [Tha Bigga Figga and Rappin’] 4-Tay we was there! We was thick. There ar people you can ask that can vouch for that story.”
