E.D.I. Don of The Outlawz spoke to VladTV exclusively about recording “Hit ‘Em Up” with the late Hussein Fatal, whom he says amped up 2Pac to go harder on the song after hearing his verse. The West Coast emcee also revealed that 2Pac didn’t really flip Biggie’s “Get Money” beat on the diss track because “Hit Em Up” was premeditated while Pac was in jail. Evidently, Pac told Faith about his plans, and she then went and shared it with Biggie; who was smart enough to use the same sample and release a record before Pac. Digging deeper into the recording experience for the song, E.D.I. Don spoke about the competitive spirit in the studio and how he took a battle rap approach to the track, including calling out Lil’ Cease. The Outlawz emcee explained that there was nothing personal between him and Cease when he recorded the track, and E.D.I. Don revealed that they sit and laugh about the verse today. Check out more of what he had to say in the above clip.

Fatal was killed after his girlfriend Zanetta L. Yearby crashed her car near an exit on Interstate 85 in Gainseville, GA. Though Fatal was ejected from the car, Yearby “really didn’t have a scratch,” according to E.D.I. “She’s fine.” The couple were coming from Jersey, where Fatal had just buried his uncle. E.D.I. Mean says he received a call from Young Noble this past weekend, who was “in tears already” when he told him the fateful news. “I was on the way to the beach with my girl and the kids,” he remembers. “That was the end of my day right there.” He tells us Fatal’s sister later identified the body and confirmed the news, something he still can’t come to terms with. “When somebody dies like this it really don’t hit you right away,” he sadly states. “If you seen recent pictures of him he was in tip-top shape.
