"Who shot me but you punks didn't finish now you about to feel the wrath of the menance"

(Tupac felt "Who Shot Ya?" was disrespectful to him getting shot since Biggie and Puffy were at the scene and Biggie didn't warn him. Both have stated the song was recorded before he was shot and they had nothing to do with his shooting. Years Later it was reviled Jimmy Henchmen was involved in the shooting and Puffy and Biggie weren't involved though they were at the scene)


THE LEGEND OF "WHO SHOT YA?": The "Ready To Die" B-Side underground song "Who Shot Ya" ended up becoming one of the biggest underground rap songs of all time. It also help to anger and sour the relationship between Biggie and Tupac Shakur.

(The original was actually an interlude on "Mary J Blige" "My Life" album and was featured Keith Murray.)



Because of Biggie's viscous bars on the song, Puffy felt it was a little to hard for an RnB album. So he took Biggie off and only kept Keith's Verse. Not even a week after the release of her album Tupac was shot at Quad Studios where Biggie, Puffy and Junior Mafia were recording "Playa's Anthem". While Pac was in Jail, A song titled "Who Shot Ya" was burning up the streets. Puffy and Biggie reworked the original song and added a verse while taking Keith Murray off the song. They added Faith on background vocals and pressed up the song as a B-side to the Platinum selling "Big Poppa" single. While in Jail Pac was furious as the streets were speculating the song was about him. Some of the lyrics could even be interpted as talking about Pac's situation including the ending where Biggie said:

You'll die slow but calm
Recognize my face, so there won't be no mistake
So you know where to tell Jake, lame nikka
Brave nikka, turned front page nikka

Biggie also made reference to Wu Tang's classic "C.R.E.A.M." on the song. With the success of the song underground and in the mainstream being on the "Big Poppa Single". The song took on a life of it's own. It is now one of the most Legendary Underground songs of all time. Many rappers from Jay Z to DMX have freestyled over the beat. Mobb Deep, Lil Kim and LL Cool J all made illusions to the songs on these tracks:






(Free styling over "Who Shot Ya" has become a right of passage for many rappers wanting to show their Lyrical Skills)



"I Shot Ya" Remix LL COOL J featuring Keith Murray, Prodigy, Fat Joe and Foxy Brown


(Though LL had denied it, "I Shot Ya" clearly is a spiritual successor to "Who Shot Ya". There is even a piano beat to match and the appearance of Keith Murray who was on the original. Certain lyrics can be interpeted as going at Pac including the title where LL changes Biggie's "WHO" to "I")



Mobb Deep - Drop a Gem On Em

(After Pac went head on against Mobb Deep on the classic diss "Hit Em Up", the Queensbridge duo retured fire on "Drop a Gem On Em". Both verses were going at Pac but it was Prodigy who made reference to "Who Shot Ya?" in his verse.)

Lil Kim featuring Lil Cease - Big Momma Thang (Original Version)

(After "Hit Em Up" Lil Kim was upset at being name dropped by Tupac. Without Biggie's permission she recorded a scatching Diss record to Tupac and Faith. Once Biggie heard it he immediately made her change the lyrics. This version was buried underground after Pac's death but ended up leaking some years go. Lil Kim makes direct reference to Pac's shooting and also makes reference to "Who Shot Ya")



It's amazing how a B-SIDE song blew up that big. Only Biggie could do that.

"0-100" so cool, beat very old school hip hop with the loop but "Who Shot Ya" level? Look how many songs and freestyles "Who Shot Ya" influnced. There can't be a "Next Generation Who Shot Ya". That's impossible. "Who Shot Ya" is a mystical song at this point. Has such a deep history.

i'm not comparing both songs in terms of quality, but as far as impact and how both were just leftover songs that took a life of its own. If you really think about it, i got a point to this generation as far as how a non album cut blew up.

 

[Wacky D]

Who shot ya only blew up because it was surrounded by controversy

i think so to.

but this drake song aint chit breh.

it has a better beat than "who shot ya" tho.

Yeah but if the criteria is just rapping over the beat than "A Milli" or even "Hot N!gga" seems to have more remixes. I think for it to rise to "Who Shot Ya" type of levels there has to be some conflict to go with the song. Notice everyone who raps over "Who Shot Ya" spits lyrics that are aggressive or "Beef" lyrics. Also we don't know yet if Drake will include it on "Views form the 6" so we will see.

i think so to.

but this drake song aint chit breh.

I think it's more lyrical as well

There's nothing's really special about who shot ya

0-100 is basically SFTB part 2 l. It has the same beat

It only stand to reason if SFTB was huge this would be too

This beat comes on and people who can't even rap want to rap.

It only stand to reason if SFTB was huge this would be too

Actually you got it mixed up, there isn't really anthing Lyrical about "0-100" it's all the beat. Drake is just spitting what he always spits, nothing new. Biggie went in on every bar, both verses are quotables.

im not saying that biggie was a lyrical wizard on his joint either.

but drake said absolutely nothing.

 

[STUFF]

I can see the comparisons as far as 'underground/non album' songs that blow up. But that comparison can end there, WHO SHOT YA had a life of itself, 0 to 100 is just a very hot song. But you can't compare any new shyt to WSY, let's see a song still breathing fire after 10 years and compare that to it.

That being said, how is anyone coming in here saying Drake didn't do this beat justice? fukk outta here, y'all gonna be the same bytches saying 'fukk this lady singing Drake, I want that 0 to 100 Drake' the day his next album leaks. Drake is the hottest in the game, and has been for a while now. Haters keep hating tho

 

[CrimsonTider]

"I'll do it for you nikkas and do it for myself"

That's the realest shyt in rap

"Know yourself, know your worth, my actions been louder than my words"

That's the realest shyt in life

"I'm the rookie and the vet"

That's Blake muthafukkin Simms

He talked that fly shyt. That's all that was needed

 

[Rapmastermind]

"Who Shot Ya" was more organic cause of the Pac Situation cause he was actually SHOT in real life. That's the hardest part of this comparison to me. "Who Shot Ya" has an actual real life story behind it. "0-100" is just a hot song. The funny part of "Who Shot Ya" is techincally it's not even a Pac diss but cause of his reaction to the song and all the other "Who Shot Ya" references from other songs it has become a Tupac diss in History. Also I wouldn't call "0-100" an "Underground" song just yet. I have a feeling it will be on his next album. Techinically speaking, "Who Shot Ya" began as an interlude and became a "B-side" cut. But because of it's Legendary status, it became Album status by being on "Born Again", "Ready To Die 10th Anniversary and Biggie's Greatest Hits".

i see what your saying. I don't think you're comparing the songs..........

but naw cuz

young people.......aren't actually feeling shyt like that these days. Hip hop and rap isn't combined with the youths identity like it was with us. I remember madd songs. I don't remember songs these days from one season to the next.

They move on from one thing to the next too fast. Music is easily disposable to younger heads now and I say that being 2 years shy of 30

Let's just ignore there is more music out now and the way you access you music is much different

This nikka Drake He can rap. He makes decent rap songs. But the replay value on them joints is He just be talking about a whole lot of nothing. He's always recounting personal issues and bytching about shyt that happened to him on songs that just need to be dat talk. Who shot ya was just Biggie talking dat talk over a dope ass beat. 0 to 100 is knocking but he ain't really saying fly shyt. He just talking bout his favorite subject...Drake... and then he fukk it up with the soft ass beat switch and some story bout some bytch giving him some game or whatever the fukk...This is a weird era. It feel like for all the talent he got, he should be making music that stick to the ribs more. Alot of his shyt just comes off as hot for the moment shyt. Its cool now but dont nobody really fukk with it like that.

You sound stupid.

Biggie is talking that fake thug talk that appeals to you 90s hiphop heads

Drake was spitting real life and shyt that can apply to everyone out here getting it in whatever walk of life

Biggie was spitting fairytales
