>the seemingly out of place "as a record label" portion of Tan's quote probably should have engendered some pause in the discerning reader.

A discerning reader would discern that the word record was missing from Tran's allusion to Tupac's song.

Here's the full quote, in its entirety:

>Fuck Chan Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a label and motherfucking crew

>And if you are down with Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a crew fuck you too

>Die slow motherfuckers

Compare and contrast with Tupac's lyrics:

>Fuck Mobb Deep, fuck Biggie

>Fuck Bad Boy as a staff, record label and as a motherfuckin' crew

>And if you want to be down with Bad Bo, then fuck you too*

>Chino XL, fuck you too

>All you motherfuckers, fuck you too (take money, take money)

>All of y'all motherfuckers, fuck you, die slow, motherfucker

The only part that was left intact is "die slow".

Which is hardly a quote. More of a violent, incoherent ramble.
