Angie Martinez interview with 2Pac (Text excerpts from book)

[Atsym Sknyfs]

He rarely speaks about what happened that night so I'm more inclined to believe what he has to say & it makes sense. The streets say Killer Ben might've been the one who robbed him who was apart of the Brooklyn Mob aka the Paid in Full team.

BIG didn't know Pac was even coming to the studio that night. Some cats in another studio knew (Lil Shawn I believe) but BIG didn't. I'm sure he found out quick but what was he supposed to do? And you say BIG was running with them...running with Jimmy Henchman? No. He may have known him, but you aint never heard they was cool like that. Point blank, Pac was paranoid. Maybe he had reason to be. But somehow, Jimmy having him robbed (the shooting was not even supposed to happen) turned into this whole I hate Biggie thing that eventually led to the worst time in our culture.

Pac was supposed to record a record with little shawn. that's why Pac was there, to record and get paid in CASH because Pac didnt want a check. Pac was supposed to get ONLY get robbed... when Pac reached for his gun the robbers went into defense mode...

If im not mistaken BIG was recording Who Shot Ya.. anyway.. BIG didn't know but I think puff knew..

some of yall are getting things confused


1.
dexter issac is not king tut - they are associates tho. dexter was the ring leader in the pac quad studio set-up & i believe tut was originally suppose to be part of the quad but was outta town


2.
tut had weight in BK & biggie used to buy and sell some of tut product


3.
jimmy henchman never set-up biggie
biggie set-up is unknown mostlikey from jac - but who really knows? anyway it stem from when biggie warned pac about haitian jac & dem .... pac did the stupidest shyt in the world by going to jac on some why biggie is telling me not to fukk with yall
what happen thereafter biggie got robb'd/set-up at the source awards by killa ben who was later on killed in front of his project on a pay phone

i really dont understand some of you guys...crying saying biggie shouldve told pac...but he actually did tell him to stop fukking with them dudes they no good...but what does pac do? run to the dudes that big warned him about and told them biggies said not to fukk with you guys...what kind of shyt is that? you nikkas really condone pac snitching on big then get mad cause big didnt wear a bullet proof vest and jump in front of pac to stop him from getting shot? you guys are really slow man...

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

PAC f'd up ...

If somebody tells me don't hang with so and so .. I aint gonna tell em.. I might hang out less but when I'm with them im observing I aint talking im listening and I damn sure aint gonna tell that my momma said don't hang with you

 

[Nomad1]

BIG said Pac was wildin on HIM for no reason which was true. Pac knew who set him up, BIG had nothing to do with it. BIG likely found out later what happened but what was he supposed to do about it??

Pac already addressed that in the OP and many interviews. No one accused that nikka of setting him up.

But he made Big a part of something he never wanted to be a part of. And that's something Pac never should have done.

This is also a lie that Biggie stans spread. He involved himself with the SSCC. He dapped Keffe D up and talked to him on the day of his death. He went to LA with puffy. That's not Pac's fault.

@kingofnyc there was not much conflicting with Pac's medical reports. He was said to have been shot 5 times but the Docs, but I think they counted the "graze wounds" as shots (specifically the two shots to the head), just like i believe 50 cent was actually shot 3-5 times not 9 like he claims (again counting graze wounds as actual shot).

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Graze wounds from been pistol whipped not shot 2 x in the head ..

In your opinion...

 

[Renzo]

u new nikkaz .... foot on biggie neck

OK... if you say so -but, obviously... shyt didn't work

Im old enough to remember that whole summer...Pac had them nikkas crying bout they ruining hip hop and all that bullshyt..rumors of puffy trying kill himself..suge sleeping with puffy wife..taking pictures with the nikka kids to put in magazines. ..need me to keep going?..every one callin him and suge a bully ..puffy tryinh get Farrakhan to intervene...all the dumb ass smilies in the world wont change that fact..Pac had public opinion on his side..he even speaks on it, that he not letting up..them dudes knew he wont just buggin and shyt was real and this wont no rap shyt..if it was all biggie had to do was respond right to end Pac..esp if they in the right and Pac lying... Nope ..he was in them nikkas asses and they knew ok this guys a problem and he gotta go..

If that actually happened and isn't bullshyt. That's real fukked up of Pac. No question.

 

[Renzo]

Pac's issue with BIG is this..

Biggie tells PAC watch out for them dudes, don't hang with them
Pac gets shot
Big gets amnesia.. If BIG didn't know what happened he wouldn't have warned him .. that's PAC issue .. and honestly it makes sense..

It like is pop from the barber shop warned big.. big got hit ... and then pop is like I don't know what you talking about..

This nikka gets it...its all there...Pac explains what happened and what his motivation is...shyt aint no mystery...you got a idiot talking bout if he was shot in the head he would be dead..people get shot in the head and have lived..he wont the first or the last...

 

[Dirty D]

Did anyone ever see the Hot 97 reality show on VH1? This part of Angie's book really shows how fukked up the entertainment industry is and how u have to watch for snakes like Ebro.

 

[Big Skilly Films]

If that actually happened and isn't bullshyt. That's real fukked up of Pac. No question.

Even Tyson warned him but I don't see nikkas dissing Tyson though...big wasn't no Mafioso boss who called shots in the streets to prevent pac from getting shot he did what he could to warn him pac got caught up with real street nikkas and became star struck..nikkas here say big and pac were like best friends but if that was the case why did pac tell them what big said?

I know it's said Tyson warned. Which makes me skeptical about that whole story of him goin back to them and tellin em what Biggie said. Cause why wouldnt he tell them about Mike Tyson as well? I think a lot of this shyt is after the fact shyt to make Biggie come off more innocent. Not sayin he had anything to do with Pac gettin shot. He may not have even known. Who knows. But for the last few years it's been damn near a smear campaign against Pac.

All big had to say to PAC was yooo, I told you them dudes was no good.. they even robbed me .. and I bet PAC would've left big alone.

PAC going at BIG and not Tyson is because when he looked up he saw BIG there ... so in his eyes he assumed he knows something

Nah I know that. I'm talkin bout them claiming that Pac went to them and told them Biggie warned him about them. Resulting in Biggie getting robbed for warning Pac.
