Pac and Tyson were down with one another. Tyson made Larry Holmes look like a nobody in '88. That's where it comes from.
De La were once great but by '96 they where a bit past their prime in terms of influence and popularity. But they are a legendary group nonetheless and should be treated as such. Same with Larru Holmes, that's a Hall of Famer right there. Despite being past his in the late 80's early 90's

Larry Holmes would still knock a lot of people out today as a grandfather though to be real, He weren't no p*ssy, or weak man, even when Pac said the line. A little harsh the simile, but De La he had some issues with so..

He was going at all the "old rappers"...the whole industry breh

I mean he might have had them in mind too but I think people have laid out the case that it was specifically for them, for good reason too.

thought it was fugees




you just found out :snoop:

Well...Fugees were on the radar, but one of the reasons De La got dissed besides them trying to paraody Pac on some sly shyt...they were in the video for "Cowboy" - with the Fugees which was a diss song to Pac.

They were sitting in the theater scenes...



The line is :ld: to me.

Not because it's a bad line. It's a hilarious line. Classic even.

But De La Soul never dissed him so it was kinda a clown move to diss them basically for no reason. Especially after he went out of his way to give them props on "Old School".

They got dissed for for the Parody in Ego Trip and for being in the Cowboy video once Wyclef decided to diss Pac on behalf of Jack....or at least that's how I see it...

Yeah but....I can't speak for you or anyone else but nobody I knew took "Ego Trippin" as a Pac diss. It was more just a general diss towards rappers fronting in videos. As far as the "Cowboys" thing....maybe....never heard that theory. But the beef did stem from the "Ego Trippin'" video, definitely.

Well I don't know how shyt was as far as social shyt goes...but in my experience in that era we ain't have the insight to certain shyt like we did now. That's why a lot of people just chalked some of the darts Pac was throwing up to hate or paranoia... Pac goes at Jay and people act like he picked his name out at random but act like they DP video ain't put a target on him. How would fans know the logicstics of Pac/Fugees beef without being in the industry...

And De La says they weren't dissing him with the parody...but I don't believe them. Pac is seen as some sort of saint now, ain't no benefit to coming out and admitting that you were hating on 2pac Shakur and got clowned in the process :mjlol:

DENY DENY DENY..:laugh:

Roots did the same shyt with "what they do". Ego trip was a commentary on the rap game and even before the DR stint you couldn't make a commentary on the rap game without referencing 2pac. And you could definitely come to the conclusion that he was "ego trippin".
