In a revealing recent interview, Neckbone shared that Lady of Rage declined to record a verse for Tupac Shakur’s infamous diss track “Hit ’Em Up.” Despite Tupac’s insistence, Rage refused to join in on the song’s harsh attacks, particularly because it involved dissing female rappers—an act she was not comfortable with. Neckbone recalled Tupac writing aggressive lines targeting East Coast foes late at night, but Lady of Rage chose to stay true to her principles and not follow the trend of name-calling female emcees. He explained that while Tupac could be intense and angry, Rage’s decision reflected her independence as an artist who didn’t want to follow the pack. Neckbone also emphasized the respect between Tupac and Lady of Rage, underscoring the complexities within the East Coast-West Coast rivalry and the strong sense of female solidarity in hip-hop during that era.
