When 2pac died did you think Biggie would be next ?

[Mac Ten]

Stop making shyt up

I don't think Biggie was going to be the one that getting hit....

Puff was the one who was supposed to be shot.

 

[Mac Ten]

This is new age social media babble from 90s babies

This is false

Please, Biggie rapping that song on live radio while folks were mourning wasn't a good idea...

Put the Pieces together.


Rapper B spends the whole year demolishing Rapper A once he touches down in Oct 1995

Rapper B gets killed on Sept 13, 1996 and Rapper A goes on the radio and raps a prerecorded diss towards Pac on radio on March 1st 1997 and gets smoked on March 9th 1997.

Coincidence, I don't think so

Got this idea from Reddit

When biggie said he was going to LA shortly after Pac died I thought it was a possibility

 

[Mac Ten]

Biggie should have been on the 1st plane back to NY when he got booed like this in LA

Should have went to the Spa in Miami with Jay-Z and got some back massages....

Cats call him scared but that would have been a wise decision.


Biggie should have laid low and chilled. Live to see the new millennium.

LA cats already knew what happened with Pac but Biggie had to rap on that verse on the Wake Up Show which most likely infuriated Suge and LA.

I think it came down to pride. After Pac died, big and them had the balls to come to LA thinking they wont be touched even after their biggest rival died. Emotions were still running high that time. Biggie an puff stupid as fukk for going to that dumb ass party. They should of waited for things to cool off before heading to Cali. A lot of nikkas really thought it was some east vs west shyt going on and took it to heart

Them going to LA was the dumbest shyt ever. Then Big spit that rhyme on the radio out there.

Situational awareness was non-existent

 

[En Sabah Nur]

Yeah. And when Big died a I thought Snoop was next

 

[Po pimp]

No because rappers weren’t dying like that back then. Eazy died the year prior of AIDS, then you had dude from Fat Boys and Heavy D and the Boys prior to that. Pac was the first famous person I remember being killed in that manner.

yall keep saying he was crazy going to LA, but he wasn't in the hoods of LA though haha. He was at a party surrounded by literally HUNDREDS of people. Nobody was pulling off contracted hits in front of hundreds of witnesses like that. I would have felt safe too and so would all of you. shyt, 2pac was shot at a traffic light after a Tyson fight. There had to be thousands of people in traffic. As a killer, you've got to be high on something to attempt a murder in traffic with a ton of witnesses. The equivalent of this would be talking shyt to Trick Trick and then one of his boys killing you in the parking lot of Little Caesars arena after a Pistons finals game and then riding off into the night never captured. . That's unheard of..

Nah


Wu tang was supposed to run hip hop til they went on tour with that wack ass rock band

Nah

Damn I read this question wrong


But still nah


2pac was hot headed and didn't give a damn about making enemies. That's not healthy and he was always getting into shyt.


When BIG died it seemed rap related and maybe someone else would be targeted next

I figured it was a possibility, but didn’t consider it that likely to happen. At the time, I figured Pac got killed as a retaliation for the casino beatdown but didn’t know Bad Boy was affiliated with the killers. The things I was reading and watching at the time didn’t really talk about the Southside Crip/Bad Boy connection. I heard about that more after Biggie got killed, as I remember one Puff interview where he denies using them as security.

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.

Tapia was really nice with the upper body movement and body punching. The Danny Romero fight was around that time too. Good fight and performance.

Interesting question.

The answer should be no for everyone. To say yes is revisionist

1- Even the oldest of us were only 12-15 in 96. We weren’t some sage wise men

2- No social media. Events within this beef weren’t found out until months even years later. Things happened on a completely different timeline. We as rap fans were in the dark. We didnt know about bad boy crip ties and bounties on chains, etc

3- Pac was shot before. Had other beefs before. When that casino video came out it seemed this was just a case of flying too close to the sun

4- Most importantly, rappers didn’t die like this UNTIL pac. It was a watershed moment. So anyone who tells you ‘yea I expected it’ is full of shyt

This. Like these replies are annoying. It simply did not happen back then . Also at MOST nggas was 13,14 in 96 but posting like some hood savant Tfoh No one expected biggie to get hit
