Bro come on, we all got the same internet
Pretty much every interview after April 95 while he was still incarcerated he says what exactly are his issues
He expected Biggie, his friend, to show him the same courtesy that Pac showed Wu Tang when their jewelery got robbed, and Pac didn't even know Wu Tang like that.
Bruh it's not a "Got You" moment lol
It's a pretty obvious
postThat's not Maseo although Dejon alias might be ButtPlug 3
That's the gay dude who does The LA Rap Repirt Card, this post was just a "fat guy fighting" joke. Maybe De La do got hands I dont have any insight there but the idea of Maseo fat ass fighting is funny to me.

Right.Some take it to the extreme.Understood
OP was a toddler at Pac's death...poor logic...
Akon was born in 73. He's a year younger than Lauryn.
I mentioned the Lauryn line so I'll just break that one down:
Lauryn Hill compares herself to Nina Simone for obvious reasons while then calling out someone for imitating Al Capone. While a lot of rappers were using mob references or identifying as gangsters during that era, she could've been talking about anybody, right? Well, Pac had a song called "Young nikkas" from his '95 album, Me Against The World. This is the chorus:
He's the kind of G like everybody knows
(As a young nikka)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(My memories as a young nikka)
Always got it blown like Al Capone
(Strung nikka)
He's the downest G I've ever known
^^^ Al Capone reference here.
I don't know if the bar was a shot at Pac or not but the Robert De Niro sample from Death Around The Corner was him playing Al Capone also, from The Untouchables.
Edit I never caught that as specific to PAC thought it was a broad gangster rap diss
There was a Combat Jack interview where someone said that they witnessed De La whupping ass in a club. I can't remember if it was Ice T but I've heard him say he's seen De La get busy. Multiple rappers have said that De La were notorious for fighting and it was a shock because their image was the opposite of that. They had songs and skits about beating people down who tried them all on their second album.
The real reason they were a problem is because of Chris Lighty. Y'all think Violator was a record label/management company but it was named after Chris' gang The Violators. I read a long article about them in a magazine called Wax Poetics. I've been looking for it for years but there's no digital version. I think Lighty scrubbed it because you can't really find any info on his street past online.
Lighty was a gang leader and heavy in the streets. De La was his entry into the music business when he became their road manager. When they got tested because people thought they were soft they found out quick they had hands and The Violators were with them so they were deep too.
When Suge was getting at Lyor and came to NY looking for him Lyor called Lighty. Chris brought one of his goons with him to see Suge and that was the end of his issues with Lyor. De La had a man with them who could back down Suge
. Treach just caught them at the right time. It's just like when Wreckx N Effects jumped Q Tip and they had to peace it up because the Zulu Nation was going to get involved and be on their heads. The Native Tongues had gangsters behind them. A lot of the street rappers were soft outside the booth and the peaceful rappers didn't play. Rakim was all about peace and probably had the livest crew ever with him.There's a reason 50, Fat Joe and all these street affiliated rappers in NY respected him so much. He was an OG in their eyes.

The perception of "gangsta gangsta" as given by rap music is the same shyt as comic books and wrestling.
Except people will defend somebody's gangster persona waaaay after they're grown, and laugh at you for suggesting somebody "not gangsta" does anything but be scared of "real nikkas"
Guess it speaks to a lotta folks' need to have something bigger than themselves to believe in. Y'all might as well be in TLR and saying God not real.
I feel like knowing what we know now about her not writing her rhymes, this is more on Wyclef or Pras than her probably.
His haters have tried to even push back against that now saying, "well he didn't know they were cops", a bunch of fukking clowns
They hate him because their favorite rapper don’t got heart like this
