How TQ’s “Westside” Rose from Tupac’s Death Row Turmoil | Coming of Age, Suge Knight & R&B’s Decline
TQ joins Shawn Stockman on On That Note to share the untold story behind his breakout hit “Westside”—a song born from the turmoil at Death Row Records after Tupac’s passing. TQ opens up about how Afeni Shakur gave him the track, Suge Knight’s influence, and how one moment set the course for his entire career.
Beyond the Death Row drama, TQ reflects on his time with Coming of Age, what it was like navigating the music industry in the late ‘90s, and his take on why R&B has lost some of the magic it once had. This is a vulnerable and insightful conversation that blends hip-hop history with real talk about artistry, survival, and legacy.
