Bronx MC Greg Nice talked with VladTV detailing his experience at Death Row and the environment of the label at the time. He spoke about how the Death Row he experienced was different from that of popular perception. Greg Nice spent the majority of his time at Death Row with 2Pac and Tha Outlawz where he was able to witness Pac’s “amazing work ethic.” He went as far as to call Pac a ‘mad man’ for the how much he worked. Many attribute Pac foreshadowing his death to work ethic, something Greg Nice was unwilling to commit to. In addition to his Pac and Death Row stories, Greg Nice also expanded on Ky-Mani Marley’s comparison of Pac to his father Bob Marley, championing the social impact of Pac’s music. Greg Nice spoke about his relationship to the late Phife Dawg of A Tribe Called Quest and the sad trend of rappers dying in their 40s.
