As someone who only really started to get into hip-hop a few years ago at 15, it's difficult for me to grasp cultural and historical events of the past. So, as much as our videos are a learning experience for my dad, they are for me, too! I'd love to hear you take on things in the comments below. Thanks - Kai
Biggie and Diddy claimed that this song had nothing to do with Tupac's shooting. They claimed it was recorded way before his shooting and that the release was already planned.
Also Biggie met Pac in NY, Pac is originally from NY and spent a lot of time here in the NY rap scene and was involved with some heavy NY gangsters from that time.
I grew up in the 80/90's in the city. Violence was a huge part of my life. My son is growing up now in the burbs....he has no idea how good he's got it and that's OK.
Bad Boys explanation "Who shot you" was made before Tupac was shot and released as a B side after he was shot. It was a much longer process to release music in the 90s than it is today.
@@WestsidePiFF diddy and suge knight got them killed by escalating their beef for money and hype. i wish they realized they were pawns, talked it out and cut both of them off.
He was actually there at the studio to record with someone else and Biggie and his crew didn’t even know Pac would be there. Also this song was recorded almost a year before 2 Pac was shot. Biggie actually tried to visit 2 Pac in the hospital after he was shot but was advised by Puffy not to. That advise led 2 Pac to believe that Biggie either set him up to be robbed or he knew who did it. The release of the song was just bad timing on Puffy’s behalf.
Yeah this guy should use a phone or notes when he gives his dad info. He seems to be a similar age as I am, and if that's the case then he likely has alot of incorrect info regarding rap beefs (because back when we heard about them, it wasn't something you could google the validity of)
@@chriswilliams4723 you mean "Respect". 1970 something is not really a real song, only a cash grab puff did where he got some of his verses and did a duet album for BIG.
I LOVE your Dad. He is like a symbol of a kind of man I didn't think existed anymore. Like, exstinct. I am really thankful and glad to see with my own eyes that I was incorrect. That people, men, & Dads of this calliber actually do still exist here in this realm and time. Kinda brings some relief from that sense of impending doom for our people. 💜
Yea but he coulda at least changed the name of the song if he wasn’t aiming it for tupac. Or at least release it way after the incident. I think he knew what he was doing tbh
OmG this literally stands out as one of the best beats ever especially at the time there was noting like it it was so different I think second only to come clean by Jeru
its important to note that biggie claimed that the song wasnt about pac, and I'll add that I believe him. Theres a lot of stuff to take into account when it comes to the pac shooting but I believe biggie had nothing to do with it but he probably knew who did it but the street code says you cant snitch... and that pissed tupac off
If you had a homie who knew you were gonna get shot and robbed is he really your homie? If I knew that shit you'd give them a heads up not snitching if a buncha mahfuckas tranna get your homie
@@AncientTechnik I believe he didn't know ow he was gonna get shot at that point but he probably had a good guess of who did it, when it comes down to it biggies life could be in danger had he snitched. But we all know how the story ends

Hey Kai your Dad is amazingly funny......when he said..."I don't think this is the type of song I will be playing much😂😂😂😂😂😂I don't think my enemies are enemies enough to warrant this kind of retaliation🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣..powerful shit man🤣🤣🤣🤣 you guys are the best.
As someone who grew up on rap and some rock songs, I would like to hear some of the classics your dad knows. He can introduce us to old school songs we don’t know.
@@Anchor7 And a suggestion can make them switch it up just as other channels do. Why is there always some eristic person like u trying to argue about petty shit in these comments. Get a life weirdo
You are correct that Biggie recorded this way before but it wasn’t an isolated incident. It was a set up but it wasn’t Biggie and Puffy that did it. There was another record producer that was there that set it up but I won’t mention any names. If you go back and follow the story. You can figure it out. The guy that set up the shooting had an issue with 50 cent also
The east coast west coast beef was mostly a media invention my guy, but that was enough to influence the wrong people and we have the outcome of two major rappers lost to violence.
Dude, is this your guys’ first channel? What an outright spectacularly meteoric rise you’ve had in an astoundingly short period of time. And well deserved, amazing content for sure. Others have already appreciated your father’s emotional range and potential for empathy, so I won’t rehash the point, but suffice it to say you both are perfect for this I’d be surprised if this hasn’t been suggested already, but while I can go on forever with song recommendations, one of the more immediately obvious ones that comes to mind for good reaction content is Stan by Eminem. Barring that, The Waitress by Atmosphere, or Panic by Intuition would be good hip hop songs to react to. There are a ton of underground tracks in general that would be good too, but broadly speaking, maybe check out Living Legends? Or on the more super underground tip, Sleep of Oldominion, one of the most (no pun intended) slept on artists in modern hip hop imo. Also Eyedea REYEP Either way, dope content fr fr and I’ll be glad to support whatever y’all do. Keep up the great work
Listen to Santan Dave - Psychodrama. It’s one of the best albums you’ll ever hear and an introduction to UK music. It also bring more fans to watch your videos
This beat is arguably the best beat of all time and the flow is remarkable to say the very least. This time period in rap is legendary and historic to put it light.
Addendum: there are many stories floating around about the 1994 shooting at the studio where 2Pac got shot. Personally I don’t know which to believe. But what I’ve read many times and take this with a grain of salt, was that Biggie didn’t know pac was gonna be shot and that the song wasn’t about 2Pac. Biggie recorded this BEFORE 2Pac was shot but the song came out after 2Pac was shot. After Pac was shot he blamed Biggie which more or less led to the start of the east Vs west coast war with the media adding fuel to the fire. In the end it caused the Hip-Hop community to lose 2 of the most influential rappers of the 90s generation who’s murders are unsolved to this day.
Look at dad's face when it came to the parts of "you can't speak with a gun in your mouth" 😂🤣 best reaction ever 😂🤣...... Hip hop was really dark in the 90s and the weird parts is, it was the media that played a big role in that stupid east coast /west coast beef, the battle was really just between Pac and Big..... I'm a full hearted Pac fan, but I think if they would've go one on one on the stage, BIG would've burn Pac....... "please don't crucify me for saying that" 😁💯🔥❤️..... Big was a heavy technical rapper and flows was out of this world!!!
@@kob456 Pac had a good delivery. Nothing more. His lyrics are too basic but with a lot of emotion. In a battle, biggie would murder Pac. Biggie was a freestyle rapper.
Hi, just wanted to say that I randomly stumbled across this channel through my recommended section and I have now spent the good part of two hours watching several of your videos. Love what you are doing and hope to see more from you guys! Hopefully you can react to some more Biggie. I can recommend Machine Gun Funk or Ten Crack Commandments. Absolute bangers.
You guys show the simplicity of a great Father and Son relationship. Very well calculated breakdowns also. Congrats on this idea, I'm looking forward to see how it evolves.
In regards to the line “turned front page n****”: It’s speaking in reference to putting someone on the front page of the newspaper, which was coded language for saying you would murder someone. The implication being that they and the story would then be “front page news” the next day. In Hip Hop songs and slang, this is also used interchangeably with, “put him on the news”, i.e. the local evening news.
Hit ‘Em Up is gonna be next. Can’t wait to see dads reaction to that one lol. Hope you play him a Scarface track one day. Now I Feel Ya would be a great one with the story telling in it. Keep up the great work, both of you!
He'll love it. Try out take it in blood by nas Edit id also heavily recommend mobb deep, if he liked illmatic hell love it though its much more gritty anr dark, especially their debut album. . Or above the clouds by gangstar Peace and love upon the souls of you and your father and your family . All love for your great work my friends
I grew up on this stuff I can’t wait to see this vid, it’s the 1st time watching you guys. Seems cool you guys are having fun. I’ll check in after I watch.
You have to do hit em up after this one, show your dad pac's reaction. I only just noticed that after the part where biggie is like "you can't talk with a gun in ya mouth huh", he then proceeds to pull the trigger 5 times, the same amount of times pac was shot, coincidence? 🤔 Rumor back in the days was that this was not a diss aiganst pac, while hit em up clearly was a straight up diss track.
@@goldboban I heard 5 shots initially, too. Then I played it back, and counted 6. Maybe there were 6 shots, but only 5 hit Pac. Either way, awfully close.
When you Do life After Death your dad will think he's listening to a Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino film. That is what Biggie's storytelling is like. When I listen I'm visualizing a film. He's so good.
I really love the concept of this. I used to listen to my hip hop songs with my dad until he passed away in 2019. Your dad would love the Stevie Wonder album with Common called A Common Wonder, it would be great to see his reaction. Also for clever wordplay may i recomend a song called Father's Day by Chino XL, my dad loved this song. Thank me later lol. Keep up the good work. Peace.
First off you and your dad are great! I think one of your next videos should be something along the lines of iconic hip hop battles like the one with Jayz and Nas in one show and your dads reaction to hear both songs I think that would one of your greatest shows ever!
This song was recorded before Tupac was shot and has nothing to do with the incident, but it was released after the fact so it looks like it’s about it when it’s not
It’s funny as a kid growing up in the 90s i listened to mostly hip hop but it wasn’t until i was older and listened to Who Shot ya and the lyrical story telling combinations is poetry, truly amazing comparative to Nas’s I gave you Power!
Hey word of advice, the violent hip hop beefs of the 90's/ East West beef run deep so, don't let the comments ever bug you, I would be super selective and few with these songs and be *super on top of the history - This song was recorded well before he was shot, apparently "the streets" in Brooklyn new exactly who did it and in fact Biggie is said to have warned Tupac to stay away from these people. Also Pac later ran into Biggie during the beef and flagrantly/mockingly said "I'm just trying to sell records ". Basically it does seem to be a betrayal because Biggie famously told his people not to respond to Tupac or else the couldn't be with him, to actually let the drama fade away. He appears to be truthful to not be involved and no one really thinks he was. (look up Bigge negative energy Interview). Last thing - Pac famously started beefs that made no sense, dissing the Fugees and LL Cool J for apparently no reason.
@@frontroom No prob! I happened to be alive at that time and Hip Hop has never seen anything close before or after, and yet just saying so doesn't do the story justice. I may as well suggest Ether/Takeover from Nas/Jay Z to show the redemptive contrast of how intense a beef can get but remain on records, leaving the fans to be the winners
@@metalmafiachris Yep this was also widely accepted as why All Eyez on ME was counted as 2 albums, because he owed 5. Not sure if they always count those as two but I don't think so, anyone can correct
MORE BIGGIE! MORE BIGGIE! Also Biggie (The artist) doesn't decide what music is put out, the label does. So Puffy had it released and it was just a dope ass song nothing to do with the ACTOR Tupac
Dude! You have a bad ass dad I wish my dad was this when I was a youngster man cherish him bro because he’s one of the only people who will ever truly have your I’m a huge fan of your pops let him know he’s doing great raising you young fella y’all gained a subscriber in me 💯
Love the channel and the reactions, but I have to correct you. Biggie was recording with Junior Mafia and had no idea Puff was coming because Puff was coming to spy on Biggie. He owned his publishing so he wanted to see if Biggie was writing for the Junior Mafia artists so he could get paid. Puffy was in another part of the studio. Pac was coming to record with Little Shawn, set up by his manager Jimmy Henchman. This song was recorded before the studio shooting but Puff decided it was a good idea to release it on the b side for record sales. The Jimmy Henchman ordered the hit on Pac where he was shot and he’s serving multiple life sentences behind this and other shootings.
Love that you are so young and listening - your just like my son he's 14 but he's into a different genre - 😎 love Biggie it was a crazy time back then I remember..
It’s only right to let him hear “hit em up” after this. Only right ! He gotta hear that other side of 2pac! It’s a must!
iv been asking him to play that song lol. i hope he does now after this song!
Yes absolutely agree! 💯
No that's too early for that
@@soroushai2374 it was already too early to show him who shot ya
@@xTheParadox99 yeah exactly
Biggie actually says that this song was recorded before Tupac was shot at Quad studios. But he acknowledges no one would believe him. Great reaction!
The song directed toward LL Cool J, LL even has a song "I Shot Ya" as a response
@@knowistrite that's cool lol
There’s actually proof it’s made before the shooting lol
Lies
Supposedly it was a response to LL Cool Js “Who Shot Ya.”

Well explained.. I just wish they had never released it
I'm glad someone pointed this out, there's even claims that Biggie didn't want it to come out because he knew how it would be interpreted
Even as a PAC fan, this track and ‘long kiss’ were his hardest.

By the way BIGGIE's side of the story is that the track was record a long time ago and just released later but wasnt meant as a diss for Tupac
He did record it before Tupac was shot. The music was time stamped.
I was hoping to read this. Love Kai, but there’s a lot more to the story then what he said.
Diddy added that 95mf after the fact
Dont you hate when folks distort facts. SMH. Just play the music without the added commentary
Yea but he coulda at least changed the name of the song if he wasn’t aiming it for tupac. Or at least release it way after the incident. I think he knew what he was doing tbh
Your Dad may enjoy "Hypnotize", "Juicy" or "Sky's The Limit". There are some great samples in the first two songs.

Peace and love upon the souls of you and your father and your family . All love for your great work my friends
Lifes a bitch but God forbid the bitch divorce me.
Take it in blood is one of my favourite Nas joints. Bassline from Live Squad is MONSTROUS
I grew up on this stuff I can’t wait to see this vid, it’s the 1st time watching you guys.
Seems cool you guys are having fun.
I’ll check in after I watch.
You have to do hit em up after this one, show your dad pac's reaction.
I only just noticed that after the part where biggie is like "you can't talk with a gun in ya mouth huh", he then proceeds to pull the trigger 5 times, the same amount of times pac was shot, coincidence? 🤔
Rumor back in the days was that this was not a diss aiganst pac, while hit em up clearly was a straight up diss track.
He pulled the trigger 6 times its not a coincidence
This song was made before pac got shot .
He pulls the trigger 6 times buddy. This song has nothing to do with 2pac getting shot
Ooh damn u guys are right lol, i guess i wanted to hear 5 shots so it would fit in my theory 😂
@@goldboban I heard 5 shots initially, too. Then I played it back, and counted 6. Maybe there were 6 shots, but only 5 hit Pac. Either way, awfully close.
Really great and accurate explanation of Tupac and Biggie’s beef. Great reactions. Very impressed with you Ky. And your relationship with your Dad.
When you Do life After Death your dad will think he's listening to a Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino film. That is what Biggie's storytelling is like. When I listen I'm visualizing a film. He's so good.
The one and only Goat 🐐 Biggie.
Recently just discovered this dope channel and had a suggestion! Lupe fiasco - hip hop saved my life
I really love the concept of this. I used to listen to my hip hop songs with my dad until he passed away in 2019.
Your dad would love the Stevie Wonder album with Common called A Common Wonder, it would be great to see his reaction.
Also for clever wordplay may i recomend a song called Father's Day by Chino XL, my dad loved this song. Thank me later lol.
Keep up the good work. Peace.
I dont know that song i will check it out
@@dirkmagnee tell me what you think
@@jonathangrant7427 good song, thnx
93 Til Infinity is a must to hear
You have to play your dad juicy or biggie's one more chance This way he can see how versatile he was
First off you and your dad are great! I think one of your next videos should be something along the lines of iconic hip hop battles like the one with Jayz and Nas in one show and your dads reaction to hear both songs I think that would one of your greatest shows ever!
This song was recorded before Tupac was shot and has nothing to do with the incident, but it was released after the fact so it looks like it’s about it when it’s not
Can’t wait for hit ‚em up 🫢🤯
Song was recorded b4 pac was shot...yet still added fuel to the rivalry.
It’s funny as a kid growing up in the 90s i listened to mostly hip hop but it wasn’t until i was older and listened to Who Shot ya and the lyrical story telling combinations is poetry, truly amazing comparative to Nas’s I gave you Power!
Actually Biggie recorded this song months before Tupac was shot.
yo please show him “niggas bleed” it’s such a good storytelling song and it’s one of his harder songs
Would love to see you show your dad Lupe Fiasco - Mural or Jay Electronica - Exhibit C
Believe or not - we filmed a Jay Elec reaction the other day. It will be up soon.
2 very good recommendations. I agree on both
Your son knows a lot of hip hop history, salute to you both
You guys should listen to Outkast - Da Art of Storytellin' (Part 1). Amazing song, think you would really like it!
this absolute lyrical genius yall!
Would suggest to do Krumbsnatcha - Gettin Close to God. Absolutely amazing storytelling, and it's based on true life event for Krumb
Love that song, excellent production by DJ Premier too!
You really should do Dance With The Devil from Immortal Technique
Hey word of advice, the violent hip hop beefs of the 90's/ East West beef run deep so, don't let the comments ever bug you, I would be super selective and few with these songs and be *super on top of the history - This song was recorded well before he was shot, apparently "the streets" in Brooklyn new exactly who did it and in fact Biggie is said to have warned Tupac to stay away from these people. Also Pac later ran into Biggie during the beef and flagrantly/mockingly said "I'm just trying to sell records ". Basically it does seem to be a betrayal because Biggie famously told his people not to respond to Tupac or else the couldn't be with him, to actually let the drama fade away. He appears to be truthful to not be involved and no one really thinks he was. (look up Bigge negative energy Interview). Last thing - Pac famously started beefs that made no sense, dissing the Fugees and LL Cool J for apparently no reason.
Facts
Thank you so much for filling me in! I appreciate this tremendously.
@@frontroom No prob! I happened to be alive at that time and Hip Hop has never seen anything close before or after, and yet just saying so doesn't do the story justice. I may as well suggest Ether/Takeover from Nas/Jay Z to show the redemptive contrast of how intense a beef can get but remain on records, leaving the fans to be the winners
I feel that Tupac thought he owed everything to death row and Suge. He was pushed in the beef direction because it sold records.
@@metalmafiachris Yep this was also widely accepted as why All Eyez on ME was counted as 2 albums, because he owed 5. Not sure if they always count those as two but I don't think so, anyone can correct
Man as a 21 year old who only listens to old school hip hop this is great to see. You have to show your dad who Big Daddy Kane is next.
MORE BIGGIE! MORE BIGGIE!
Also Biggie (The artist) doesn't decide what music is put out, the label does. So Puffy had it released and it was just a dope ass song nothing to do with the ACTOR Tupac
Sureeee
the original song is with keith murray. biggie added a second verse when the song was scrapped
Now with your dad you Have to listen to HIT EM UP by Tupac! His answer to the Bad Boy Records
Omg when dad hears tupacs response 🥺. He will see a totally different tupac than the one he knows..Dad... we love you 💜
Now u have to play hit em up for ya dad. It's 2pac's "reply" . Best diss song ever.
I recommend
Dance with the devil
By immortal technique.
Great song.
I would love it if you played some 2pac interviews for your Dad. That would be dope!
"This is not the vibe for the car ride" PMSL!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!
React to Eminem - Stan
Dude! You have a bad ass dad I wish my dad was this when I was a youngster man cherish him bro because he’s one of the only people who will ever truly have your I’m a huge fan of your pops let him know he’s doing great raising you young fella y’all gained a subscriber in me 💯
Thanks Bugsy :) - Kai’s dad
@@frontroom you’re welcome I’m a huge keep showing this youngster some good old school music 💯
Love the channel and the reactions, but I have to correct you. Biggie was recording with Junior Mafia and had no idea Puff was coming because Puff was coming to spy on Biggie. He owned his publishing so he wanted to see if Biggie was writing for the Junior Mafia artists so he could get paid. Puffy was in another part of the studio. Pac was coming to record with Little Shawn, set up by his manager Jimmy Henchman. This song was recorded before the studio shooting but Puff decided it was a good idea to release it on the b side for record sales. The Jimmy Henchman ordered the hit on Pac where he was shot and he’s serving multiple life sentences behind this and other shootings.
THANK YOU smh cause these people in these comments
Yes!! This is important information to correct.
Biggie made this before Pac got shot at the studio. The media is the reason why the East coast West coast beef even got started
HISTORY LESSON: Biggie recorded that song way before Pac was shot. 2Pac got shot, puffy released “who shot ya” then 2Pac destroyed Biggie’s Life
I got a story to tell- big
One of my favs of all time
Also 1970s something- big and the game.
Honestly because that history lesson I subscribed great work bro🤙🏽
I’m loving this!
Love that you are so young and listening - your just like my son he's 14 but he's into a different genre - 😎 love Biggie it was a crazy time back then I remember..
Yasss East coast. I still play Biggie. I love you and your pops ❤️❤️
