It was hidden in plain sight, doe. Consider this:
On The Notorious B.I.G.s first hit "Big Poppa", the chorus says
"you got a gun up in your waist? Please don't shoot up the place"
...and then, Puff ad-libs "Why?"
Why?
Why not shoot up the place?!? What the hell kinda question is that?
And then he just happens to be in the club when it gets shot up years later...but nooo, Shyne did it.
