    He’s right , PAC and Big had Hip Hop on a string . 2Pac’s passion + the love he had for black people and Big’s self confidence and talent was crazy . Their influence is missed .

      The beef killed Big..The beef started with Tupacs lie.Had there been no lie…None of this would have been set in motion. I don’t know any inside information because I wasn’t there and I don’t believe everything this man says because it’s clear he has a gripe. But what I do know is 1+1 = 2, and if Pac never lie to begin with and started a war they would both probably be alive. I’m sure there’s enough blame to go around and puff has his fair share but there’s no way we can pretend like that means lie did not lead to both of their deaths.

It’s even said that Suge didn’t want to pay for the hit afterwards because of this mistake and amir Muhammad still wanted his money. They think this is why David Mack robbed that bank to pay amir his money. The money has never been recovered. Amir was one of the first visitors when Mack went to jail. Amir Muhammad was already parked in the spot and literally just pulled out and shot them and drove off.

    Gene did the best he could.. he tried & tried, warned them multiple times & they didn’t listen.. it’s not his fault.. it’s just sad nobody listened to him

    I'm starting to believe eventually big and pac would of teamed up against puff together and puff was gonna do everything in his power to make sure that never happened actually that big never left him period ijs

    Damn Gene I think it kinda cracked the code bro. They are hurt from being taken to the brink with Malcom and Martin. They can't have that happen again. This also speaks to the disconnect between generations in hip-hop

    When connected street guys and rappers tell you don't go somewhere, you simply don't go. They tried to stop Big from going.
    From what Shaq said, he was supposed to be in that SUV with big after the party.

    I believe most of what he says. But those bullets were definitely for Big. The accuracy those 5 bullets hit and the same inches apart was a pro
