When you gaze the greatest, we're not just talking about lyrics, we're talking about impact as well. There's only so many rappers that could write something hyperlyrical and then also come write 'California Love,' and 'Toss It Up,' and then go back and write 'Dear Mama' and 'Changes,' and then come back and write '2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.'

The Rhythm Nation pop star, now 59, called on producer Steve Nicolaides to make the sensitive request, according to an excerpt The Hollywood Reporter published from Jeff Pearlman's Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur, out Tuesday. You know, Tupac's reputation is that he's a cat about town, the Grammy winner reportedly said. And I don't want to swap saliva with him until I'm really sure that he's healthy and clean.
