This I didn't get . . he got mad at Snoop for not jumping on the east vs. west thing . . so why not team up with Cube?
It's a popular misconception that Cubed jumped on the East Vs. West thing. For one thing, this song was on Mack 10's first album and it was released on June, 10th 1995. If this wasn't a declaration of war, I don't know what is.
All Eyez on Me was released on February 13, 1996 and Bow Down was released on October 22, 1996. It's not like Cube and em heard Hit Em in February and proceeded to record, promote, market and drop an album less than 6 months after.
As far as Snoop, he had just beat a murder trial, he didn't have time for Pac's nonsense. Snoop understood consequences of reckless behavior better than Pac did - maybe Pac didn't care about consequences at all - Snoop didn't want any parts of East Vs West beef after just beating a murder case that would have put him behind bars for 25 years.
