...adolescent acceptance, but his social life was also hampered by his glowing intellect: Clinton was just too smart to fit in. His only recourse was surely his personality, and what a personality it was. Recognizing this talent, Clinton developed at a young age his easy-going, affable, glib, hail-fellow-well-met attitude that has so characterized him for years...

According to hotel employees, the tape recorded the superstar rapper and his entourage brutally "beating and stomping" an unidentified man. The Las Vegas police have seen the tape, but they claim that its contents are unrelated to the hail of bullets that cut Shakur down two hours later.
