Yes

Being from LA , I already thought him or puffy was going to be killed if they came here ..

I was young but I remember all the hate nikkas had for bad boy artist period, but really for puffy ..

Had no idea puffy dumb ass would bring his ass or his artist out here just to make a video and to a award show..

But he thought everything is good with pac in dead and suge in jail and southside had his back,,

no. Because 2pac was shot on the coast he was claiming and representing. I didn't know anything about the details over here on the east coast. I simply had no idea what was going on. I'll never forget the day both of them were shot. I was watching Tyson/Seldon the night prior and found out about Pac getting shot on a sunday. I thought, "again?". I was playing Nba Live 96 on Sega genesis at 730 with my homeboy and another one of our friend came running to my crib out of breath to tell us that Pac had died. We stopped the game, I put a vhs tape in and recorded BET and the news all that weekend(I still have the tape. I got to convert it).

On march 8th, I was in a different location than I was 6 months prior. I had just watched Johnny Tapia fight Jorge Barerra on HBO(I'm a huge boxing fan since the 80s if you don't know). After that, I got in bed turned on the tv and the soul train awards was on. I now know it wasn't live but the last thing I remembver was Biggie presenting an award on stage and saying "what up Cali" or something to that effect mocking them. I didn't think anything of it, I was tired and I fell asleep. I didn't watch any tv that whole day sunday. Sunday night I'm flipping thru channels and turn to mtv and biggie is giving an interview. I stop it there and watch for about 2 minutes and the words came scrolling across the bottom of the screen, "The Notorious big was killed in a drive by last night......". I'm thinking, "what the fuuuuk????". So I saw none of that coming, but a few did though.. I was gullable.

To be fair, no one thought anyone would be dumb enough to shoot either of them in the middle of traffic in front of damn near hundreds of people in the distance. Look at the amount of rappers today killed in public during the day. The same goes for Dolph. No one thinks they will be gunned down in daylight in public. shyt, Malcolm was killed in front of almost 300 people and all of the killers got away except one. I'm no rapper, political figure or anything, but this is why I move the way I move. Everywehre I go, I got 2 pistols on me(legally) and when I go into places to eat or sit, I'm sitting facing doors with my back to a wall if I can.
