#2pac #biggie
Me against the World went Number 1 while Pac was Locked Up Sounds like a Phenomenal Feat if you ask me 💯
Sells **
PAC and Project Pat were the only artist that went platinum while behind bars… definitely a phenomenal feat
@@3rdGenerationCancer Tupac sales
A yoooooooooo!
This man talks about pac and biggie sooo much it's kinda ridiculous at this point I know more about pac than myself!
Yo listen im in my 30s I remember when pac died......
I been hearing this shit for 30 yrs.
......
Huge pac fan .......but geewhitikerz
Me against the world was better than ready to die.
Reggie was right Biggies album did get more promotion and was more radio friendly than Me Against The World. But how 2pac gonna make Dear Mama for his mom and his mom dies on Mothers Day..That's crazy. Dear Mama still getting played to this day every Mothers day 🙏
Thats all truth, Dear Mama is liked by the young too the old!
Tupac's music was not radio friendly like Biggie's was. PAC had a few radio songs but most of his stuff u couldn't play on the radio. That was always one of the things i heard people say why Biggie music was better because it could be played on the radio.
@@speightsdupree5708 That’s a great point!!
@@speightsdupree5708
Facts!
@@speightsdupree5708 Tupac Music was deeper and not everyone can understand . His story telling is unreal which make pac more influential.
“They don’t wanna play my song but they wanna play fat boy all goddamn day.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He sho did say that lmaooooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
2 pac knew biggie was on fire 🔥 😂😂😂
I could imagine pac running around the room screaming that shit 😂
The fact that this niggas was yelling out west side scaring niggaz if Fkn hilarious 🤣🤣
It’s a shame none of that is on video for us to see lol
He was an actor, people tend to forget that. He know all about being dramatical.
@@s.tavares3257 actor doesn’t shoot 2 people. People don’t get that. Kids behind TH-cam screens that aren’t from the hood
@@s.tavares3257that shit is getting so old. As if actors can’t do real shit. It’s just a job. Doesn’t mean you’re soft
Bad boy did they thing on the biggie album but in order to get that radio play, they had to make a million remixes and collabs. Pac was on vacation and the album hit #1 with no promotion or radio edits.
Not true because Biggie release 3 singles Juicy , Big Poppa , One more chance ,remix and Warning songs that featured him and he kill those joints
They only Remix one of his songs...Biggie had like 4 songs on Rotation, Juicy, Big Poppa, Warning and One More Chance...I Fuck with Pac, but Ready To Die had Shit on Smash...
@@sincerethegod325 Facts
That's just Puff's forte. He was the remix king. Every act on Bad Body had remixed joints, not just Big.
@@sincerethegod325 same as me like I’m a pac fan i just hate the stigma that we have to love one and hate the other , biggie shit was hard no doubt about it , i feel LAD is a better double album than AEOM being unbiased
Reggie is right, Biggie and BadBoy were getting the most spins on the radio across the country in 95-96
1996 was basically year of the pac. 1996 was a crucial year in general. 2pac micheal Jackson was hot. Micheal jordon was hot.. Mike tyson was hot. Hell even shawn micheals was hot. 1996 was that year
Pac was in jail in 1995 that is why
NAH.....on the WEST COAST we played everybody's shit on the radio.... East coast only played their shit.....That's why WEST started dissin....
@@MrXanderthegreat1 Shawn who?
No tf they wasn't smh West Coast was running shit on the radio
"Me Against the World" was my introduction to Tupac. The rest is history. I was stationed in Korea when Biggie's 1st album came out. That cassette stayed in the tape deck. LOL! It was a great year for music. Usher's 1st album, Black Street hit in that time frame too. 94/95
These stories will never get old
The Way He Said “He Getting Popped That Night” LEGENDARY
Pause……
Puffy didn't run, he made a left 😂😂
He took A left! 😁😁
Gotta respect his honesty about the ready to die. Reggie doesn’t show favorites.
That’s cool i just disagree.
@Big Dawg I’m pretty sure Murder Rap is it.
He right biggie album was poppin more on radio, but me against the world was #1 and in my opinion is one of the best albums in music. Not hip hop music, just music in general.
Been loving the every Day post glad y’all decided to do the interviews like this instead of reg going on everybody else’s platforms
Anyone who have listened toda Me Against The World the Original unreleased version? That shit fuckin great . 2Pac had to stretch all Biggy and Stretch featured songs. But even the Official version is amazing. PAC was a genius.
Where can we find this?? I’ve always wanted to listen to the first one
I never new it was 2 ' thanks for putting me on game
th-cam.com/video/MadLbdoM7hM/w-d-xo.html listen to this real shit. We love Tupac.
@@3rdGenerationCancer you wrong an you too young to know any better
@@3rdGenerationCancer it had out on bail and life's so hard on it
I can hear 2pac saying “ Shoot em Reg , Shoot em “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“I still got a little police in me” lol
1996 was definitely 2Pac year!
Tupac was locked up with me against the world came out with no promotions in my opinion Me against the world is my favorite album of all time so I gotta go with me against the world but of course they was promoting biggie heavy and 95 and it was a good album no denying that
Makaveli ❓👁
Ready to Die out was way better . It was the number one album for the year of 94 & 95
Tupac sounded suspect on every album he recorded 🌈🎵🎶
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 your the most suspect guy on the internet
@@simuelwilliams4038 Ready to Die never went number one, it peaked at number 15 on Billboard albums charts, Biggie album wasn't selling until ''Juicy'' and ''Big Poppa'' Singles. Me Against The World was number one four four weeks straight in 1995, Dear Mama went platinum too.
Congrats on 50K subscribers John and Reg
To clarify: Reg is referring to singles not albums. Biggie had the radio on smash with Junior Mafia songs and remixes, the classic bad boy sound, not ready to die songs
A complete lie. How old are you? Big Poppa, Juicy, and One More Chance are his biggest songs.... They all come from Ready To Die.
@@LurnWell Duhhh...real hip hop fans love Ready to Die for the other songs not the 3 you mentioned. Reg is talking about how Big finally had commercial airplay with those 3 but in particular extra hot with thr Junior Mafia radio songs (aka what big ghostwrote)
Most of Ready to Die is in the same vibe as Thug Life Vol 1 and Me Against the World. It was too real and hardcore for the radio so Puffy got to work and watered it down, remixing “One More Chance” and pushing the “fun loving/positive” songs like “Big Poppa” and “Juicy” as opposed to the songs that really epitomized Biggie and where he came from, aka “Machine Gun Funk,” “Things Done Changed” and “Everyday Struggle”
biggie got more radio play..but pac had the #1 album while he waz lock up facts..
True story 💯
but do u love it?
More Radio Play where ?
Only in NY.
Everywhere else [West/Central/South], Pac was on Heavy Rotation.
Htptiwny [i.e., (May) Peace & Blessings be unto You (All)]
Pac was the #1 suspect studio gangster to get his cheeks clapped while locked up too lol
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862 Talk
My man is always 100 with this interview's. god bless you brother stay strong big fan from Mexico
I still got a lil police in me and lil stuff like that.🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this dude Reggie
Biggie changed the rap game at that time. Period. He had that smooth champagne,coogie n Lexus flow
He saved the East Coast in hip hop.
Of course he did he was Tupac's protege
I agree..I might be too young so if I’m wrong don’t come for me old heads… but biggie was the first rapper to make metaphors and word play cool 🤷🏾♂️
Hell no!!! Go look at the stats at the time those albums dropped. MATW was at the top of the charts. Biggie had to do quite a few remixes to build some steam behind RTD.
Thank u
Dummy do u realize Biggie was new to the main stream and Pac had years in it already Big had to make a introduction Pac was known already so yeah Big had to do more work that's common sense
@@theetruth8626 doesn’t matter he’s wrong
I can’t wait to see the day Reggie gets to the majors n can share his stories with real visuals cause these are the things ppl that really fux with Tupac should know 💯 much luv Reggie 🙏🏽
lol “Can you give me a detailed account” clearly art of dialogue influenced
Gotta add a "Yo, my man"

The Soul Train Awards used to be epic!
Great views. Next biggest interview channel. #freesuge #riptupac
PAC LEGACY LIVES 💯 %
Everyone uses his name as he stated in his songs 🎵 messengers
With all these interviews at Reggie been doing he could have damn they're already wrote an award winning book!
I love reggie's accounts of these stories, he spits the facts..
Not always, he's been untruthful with some stories. But he has a lot of info and it's good to digest all of the information
I love both CD biggie and Tupac some one must got more radio time it wood be hard to choose from who's better
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 legendary
Biggie performance was fire that night
When all eyes on me came out around the same time Reggie Wright Jr raided my uncles gang spot in Compton Varrio 😂😂
Me against the world won album of the year at soul train
Cream puff should get a award for fastest runner for that night
Pac dropped 3 classic albums in a row, Me Against The World, All Eyez On Me & Don Killuminati 7 Day Theory
We don’t have to diss the other album to make a point! Truthfully they are both timeless classics!!! Life after death is a classic! Me against the world is a classic! We still beefing over pac and big it’s like we haven’t learnt nothing! Stop choosing sides
Me against the world was actually released in 95 while pac was locked up.....Ready to die was damn near 2 years old and the one more chance remix (released after) and the junior mafia album so yeah biggie did have a big buzz . but as for an album released in the year of 1995 Me against the world was huge
Who cares.. ready to die is a all time classic that’s better then me against the world by far
@@ShawnBrown-qh4md thats your opinion..alot of people care and everybody dont agree with you
@@ShawnBrown-qh4md yet me against sold more copies and reached number one beating Bruce Springsteen and many others at the time. So obviously couldn’t have been better if more people were buying pac material then the commercial spins big music was getting publically didn’t equate to the overall success of MATW
The albums were like 6 months apart lol casuals
@@kalanievans2341 i bought both albums when the first were released im far from a casual.
It only got more radio play because they was trying to ban Tupac in certain areas but Tupac is the people's champ so they couldn't... They been trying to ban Pac since he jumped in the rap game
Bruh stop lying Temptations got massive amount radio play Dear Mama was over played and Shed so many tears got massive play Biggie got the same amount play as Pac difference was 1 more chance was killing the game
@@theetruth8626 now that's cap dear mama is in the Vatican and deemed one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all times... And NY was banning Tupac... The vice president at the time was boycotting Tupac when he was jumping in the game and C. Delores tucker... You obviously know nothing about the cancellation of Tupac in NY because the djs was hating on him... Research before you speak bruh everyone knows this
@@tcook2236 bruh I don't need to research it silly because u lived it and u lying New York was the one playing Dear Mama Temptations and shed so many tears so stop it with the lies and Pac didn't start getting the attention until after the off duty cop in Atlanta and the people who killed a person and blame Tupac music or when 2pac and company shot a kid in the bay I'm very aware of what was going on just like I was very aware of what was playing on the radio and music videos and it was Pac me against the world songs so u can stop all that lying
@@tcook2236 I was bumping Pac before all u groupies started jumping on board because of his messy situations. When he was spitting about what was going on in the hood not all this beef b.s and y'all launch on like some broads who can't live unless their something messy situations to be involved in
Both are great albims
Reggie is wrong on this. There's footage of 2pac at the award show in the crowd. They ended up letting Tupac and Suge in.

GENE Wasn’t Lying Lol PUFFY DID RUN !!!!
I got 2 Pac cassettes Me Against The World,Strickly for My Niggas both classics to this day
Pac went around the auditorium yellin WEST SIDE in his fatigues - lmao.
If pac wasn't lock up,me against the world would of definitely been bigger,it went platinum even though pac was in jail
i personally like me against the world more than ready to die but im fairly certain ready to die did better commercially. That doesnt make it the better album but i think critical consensus is fairly even between the 2, so you can def make an argument that means the commercial performance of Biggie gives him the better album/year. Then again, Ready to die was actually released in 1994 so one can argue that it wasn't actually 1995 either. Of course Biggie prob had more prolific features and B-side type records in 1995 since Pac spent most of the year in jail.
That's a great point...ready to die was late 94 MATW early 95 but big was the biggest rapper in 95 and ofcourse pac spent most of 95 in jail
Funny how even thou big didnt released a album in 95 songs like one more chance remix, who shot ya, and songs like get money and players anthem were some of the biggest songs of the year (I believe he also had a song with Michael Jackson that got alot of radio play that year too)
Why do ppl hate biggie so much
@@bartier861 my post seemed like i was hating on biggie? or you are just asking? I think a lot of really hardcore Pac/Death Row fans may have some negative emotions toward him cuz of their feud and their feeling that he didnt do right by Pac etc I try to just deal with the music side of things since i didnt know either of them personally. Quite honestly, I've always felt Big was a little overrated even though still a great GREAT artist just not in the convo for GOAT with Pac, Nas, even Jay Z but just thats JUST my opinion. I realize that if we are trying to take the discussion into a more "objective" realm, then critics/accolades, can def paint him possibly even THE GREATEST.
@@bartier861 I can't speak for everyone but bring the same age as big and one year younger than pac I appreciate both...always been a bigger fan of pac music, work ethic
Charisma and style but I have tremendous respect for big as a artist
@@mikegribanov6105 if we’re being 100% honest biggie was more lyrically proficient than pac but pac’s music mostly had a deeper meaning and you felt it more
Me Against The World was the #1 album in the world.

Reggie thank you for straightening out all the bullshit that us fans gotta keep listening to from people that keep lying . Reg please do a documentary or book and clean all the B.S up

Reggie telling the truth. BIG was hotter than fish grease in 94 & 95
Biggie greatest hits album sold over a million copies till date. PAC greatest hits sold over 10 million to date. No comparison 🤷🏽♂️
Ready to die dropped in late 94 thou
MATW was 95 not sure how soul train decided that...biggie was the biggest rapper in 95 (pac being locked up most the year) no debate about that and biggie own the airwaves at least in NYC
@@reggiewright I guess Don was trying to keep both parties happy!!!
@@reggiewright good point
Right...ready to day came out at the very end of the summer in september. juicy came out right before that...that album was hot the rest of 94 and 95. not sure how it gets nominated almost 2 years later
Honestly I like Reggie 🙏🏾💯🙌🏾

And I’m from the East Coast
the worst decision of Tupac's life was signing and moving to Deathrow and LA...
he tried to fit in with the gang culture there... and it wasnt him.....
But he got Biggie killed. Job well done...God was really using Pac...when God was the one allowing things to happen. Satan deceived Biggie Smalls...now he's really small...get it??! Lol small like dust damn son.
He was already living on the West Coast ' wtf are you talking bout . Please show proof that he tried to fit n with the gang culture . That nigga being the same since his first album
Moving to death row probably but Tupac been going back and forth in LA cuz of big syke and em before he joined death row.
tupac worst decision was being too relaxed after getting into a fight
@@jayd4ever more like it
Pac had the number 1 album while in prison so how was Biggie album doing better than me against the world
Biggie album Dominated Streets, Radio and Clubs...His album was more impact full especially being his First album..Pac album went 1 because it outsold the albums that came out that week, that's all..Me Against the World went Double Platinum at that Time. The Chronic 4 million, Doggystyle 3 million, Ready to Die 2 5 million back then all First albums, that was Pac 4th Album...Dear Ma Ma alone Boosted his sales...
What mexican rappers was officialy a deathrow artist? Bullet?
Gracias Reggie
bullet should of got more exposure too. dude was alright
I fwu Reggie but that was the machine behind Ready to Die. I don't think no Biggie album is better than Pacs
Ready to Die is better than anything Pac ever put out.
@@ratherunique8137 Life After Death better than Ready to Die. We can go track to track with 7 Day.
Cause biggie music is pop. Bad boy music is more pop then anything. So they get more radio play. PAC was locked up, unable to promote his album, he isn’t even in the music videos and it still did that well. Biggie was all hype. Inflated by the media creating a east coast west coast war. Everyone wanted to hear if he would respond back with a Diss song. Even more so after his death. Pac soul still around and influencing the younger generations. Biggie is just a memory that is tied in with pacs death. Nothing more…. Nothing less..
Biggie greatest hits album sold over a million copies till date. PAC greatest hits sold over 10 million to date. No comparison 🤷🏽♂️

I’m team Pac all day but Reg isn’t wrong in saying that Biggie had a BIGGER year than Pac in 95. He was ruling the airwaves.
Pac was in prison remember that.
Pac was starting to fade out in NY before he got shot, him going to DR was thr best thing that happened to him. After that NY radio's stopped playing his music.
Then a crip made pac fade out of the world for good 🤣☠💯
@@jalenaverylloydaveryiisson8862And he got faded out by someone as well, never ending cycle of ignorance.
Wait so pac wasn’t hot music wise in 94 ? I’m just asking cuz I’m 16 and was he considered top best out around that time ?

I know reggie didn't just say ready to die was better than me against the world,a course he got alot of radio play pac was incarcerated..
Pac got Radio Play but Ready to Die had Shit on Smash though....That Album Dominated Streets, Radio, and Clubs..only other album that did that was Doggystyle...
Me against the world i cry so much never piggi
I wish Biggie and PAC's mother would've talked and got their sons together behind close doors and make them Squash that shit because they still were very young and they still would've been here
I'm not so sure both mothers were aware of what was going on when both were still alive, I believe after pac was killed then biggie mom was concern for big especially going to Cali...but I think it's safe to assume both mothers were kept out alot of that drama and if they knew the info they knew very little
Reggie is right . Big had the better year. But Pac was in jail so he was restricted.
Reggie is right about the airplay.. Pac had the number one album IN THE COUNTRY (bearing in mind thats ALL genres in 95/96, an incarcerated BLACK HIP HOP ARTIST IS NUMBER ONE 😎). And inspite of ALL those facts, BIGGIE'S 'R2D' album was getting WAY MUCH MORE AIRPLAY on the radio than Pacs 'MATW' was... its actually quite sad when u come to think about it.. its like, was it political? Was the radios hating? Did R2D release more singles than METW? Guess we'll never know FOR CERTAIN... RIP 🙏 PAC N BIG
@@reggiewright thanks bro. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a mad fan of your era bro. We all been through shady shit. But thanks for sharing the truth in a time when your contemporary be tryna rewrite history NAMELY SNOOP and PUFFY. But that's neither here nor there. REGGIE REPLIED ME LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏 LOVE FROM THE UK 🇬🇧
I want to ask Reggie about 2Pac's coroner report. Why was he listed at 72" and 215LBS Was that his legit weight and height? 6foot and 215LBS seems off to me. Reggie please answer this question. Also I'd love one if the Bomb First Shirts or Death Row gear. Thanks bro.
It's true. He was 5'11-6ft.
Give me a detailed account, that’s a go to line from Art.
I need the p funk shirts
Yeah Gene definitely said on Vlad interview and Art that Puffy ran. And it’s a video of 2pac clapping behide D’Angelo when he won a award that night
He said he went around the trucks lol but didn’t run I don’t know gene had me rolling
2pac music was use in a court case in TX saying it made a guy shoot a police.lol That's why 2pac wasn't on the radio as much. Lol not because Biggie was hotter.
Me Against The World was a much better album than Ready To Die. I think 2Pac had more radio play than Biggie. Dear Mama, So Many Tears, Me Against The World, and Temptations we’re the singles being played 1995. Biggie it was One More Chance, Big Papa, Warning, Unbelievable, and Juicy from Ready To Die. 2Pac Me Against is a classic album. Easily I can say it’s a much better album. I hope one day Reggie bumps Me Against The World and sees what we have been saying about that album.
They're both great albums. No way you can put one above the other. Just depends on what content you looking for at that time.
Hopefully u listen to ready to die and not just the singles they play on the radio stupid.. the songs on ready to die that wasn’t getting played on the radio was better then them singles u just named
@@antoniolewis exactly
Reggie ain't lying the videos do say Pac didn't attend.
Of course Biggie was getting more clout for Ready to Die, Pac was locked up! If Pac was out of jail in '95; different story.
@@3rdGenerationCancer I disagree. Dear Mama, Temptations, She'd So Many Tears all had radio play... Pac was doing movies that was doing B.I.G (numbers too! Lol. Stop it!
Ready to die came out in 94
Ready to die sounded a lot like Pacs style especially beats wise. Doggy Diamonds can vouch!
How could biggie get more radio play but pacs album sold more?
Cos the biggie tunes was playing in the clubs and commercial radio for the masses, mostly about drug deals,and parties ect pac fans were buying his music as a bible to listen to him on a persona level as it was the depth and substance of pacs work that made more people buy his music

Badboy Records was starting to release singles and music and Biggie’s album in 1994...
Iirc Craig Mack popped things off in either the Spring or early Summer (double check that) and it was being "hyped" that Craig Mack was the next greatest thing but also he had been featured in 1993 singles for Uptown Records...
During this time while Tupac was just out of the legal issue with the two criminal cops in the south in late 1993, he was gonna go do shooting for Above the Rim movie and soundtrack which is early 1994 or so iirc when Biggie approaches Tupac to allegedly be "friends" unless I'm mistaken and it was in 93 which I doubt.
Then in 1994 while Tupac's between working on Above the Rim, the soundtrack, his next album before he changed it AND the Thug Life Vol1 album is where that party chick got sent to him to set him up and then that Haitian Jack and Henchman and Puffy and Biggie were all pretending to be friends with Tupac when Tupac's really competition who's albums and hit singles kept rising every year plus the movie game... people don't realize how it wad before the party girl set up allegations and Tupac did talk a lot and he could be annoying at times but then he'd have a smash movie role and hit singleS and say something right and you knew he had haters hating and being fake especially when he did the Poetic Justice movie, Janet Jackson ghosted him then Madonna gets introduced to him and they were very quietly being seen... that's some hard pull for a talented rapper and actor to just pull Madonna herself... then that same year iirc Biggie’s album hadn't been released until later in 1994 which is just after Tupac got sent to.prison after the Quad Studios Incident...
In August the supposedly not televised The Source Awards 94 show is when the last award went to Tribe Called Quest where during their final speech Tupac was the closing act and his music started, he snatched the mic from Tribe mid speech and rapped Out on Bail hard... that show was definitely fully taped but the people who taped it are NYC ppl and The Source magazine chief Benzino is actually a huge Badboy Records promoter and buddy of Puffy... so once Tupac got set up to be robbed and shot (public humiliation) there's photos of Biggie wearing the SAME jewelry that was robbed from Tupac...
So think about it... Tupac wad set up, robbed, shot, heavy injuries then sent to prison for the allegations so even if Tupac had released Me Against the World album there was just no way he could go out and promote it, go to shows, go to Arsenio Hall Show, etc instead it was like Biggie was sent straight to MTV into 1995... because Puffy was connected with people in MTV... come on other rappers who had really excellent albums and singles weren't being sent to MTV outside of Yo MTV Raps so of course back then if you was a real hardcore hip hop fan and you knew about stuff marketing people do plus that Biggie’s music took a lot of styles and words from Tupac's music and if you were Biggie and Puffy and frustrated East Coast crews who hated that Eazy E, Dr Dre, Snoop, Tupac and other west coast artists kept making club bangers... plus with the legal accusations against Snoop who also couldn't show up to things so DPG was mostly Daz and Kurupt and kinda lost momentum despite having an excellent album so Reggie is quite correct... it definitely "seemed" like Biggie’s album and music, remember that the songs took entire former 80s hit singles Instrumentals... not some skilled samples like other rappers strived for... and The Source and other allied NYC magazines pretty much GAVE Biggie "the great white hope" type hype which in all seriousness seems BIASED in back then and in retrospect because we all knew that once the second albums came, the artists would be revealed yet Biggie was being jumped off other artists music and styles being rapped over plus Puffy made sure to bring his other acts while he ditched the Uptown Records artists that supposedly he was supposed to help and Craig macks second album quickly came and quietly got snubbed... he had no feats in Biggie’s and Junior Mafia and Lil Kim's albums... you notice that?
So of course it would seem Biggie had all of 1995 which in the grand scheme looks weird... once Tupac's free however it meant Doom for Badboy Records even if say Tupac had stayed quiet cause West coast rap would have pushed him.out
Bear with me if reads disorganized but following into 1995 while Tupac was in prison and iirc Deathrow Records did have smash albums and were invited to The Source Awards 1995 which became televised in some channels or just BET... depending on what's available IF it was available back then and you'll notice that there was a type of contest on who was getting the most awards where Deathrow Records artists and the Above the Rim soundtrack and Dr Dre and Ice Cube's 94 single and video were awards to Deathrow Records and Dr Dre as producer/performer while it seemed like Biggie was single handedly being GIVEN, numerically the same number of awards... awards not nominations but the actual award and something is suspicious about that so if you saw this from a certain way you'd feel like the Source Awards 95 had a type of bias and was deliberately snubbing artists or something and that shoe was in August 95 so afterwards is when Snoop kept telling Suge to get Tupac out of prison... so imagine that...
Me Against the World had some nice songs but few videos because Tupac was in prison... so even if it did well, the stations only played certain songs and Tupac's friends made some music video for Temptations which was reused for "It's too hot" for another artist...
So notice that in the Source Awards 95, every time Biggie wins, it's like he's really arrogant and rubbing it in that he won... but in a combative stance like saying "I beat your a$$"... go watch it... and it makes you wonder if there was a connection with what happened to Tupac, allegations, your name gets disgraced, then you get set up, robbed/humiliated and mortaly injured then sent to prison?
Then you're OUT of the rap game, in prison most of 95... you can't do anything until you got bail paid... so you couldn't be at the Source Awards 95...
Then notice how the Source Awards got canceled in 1996, the Source magazine refused to review (give mics) to All Eyez on Me album or any of Tupac's music... maybe California Love... barely... and there was no Source awards in 1997 or 1998... they had to wait for Suge to be in prison so they could do their awards in 1999... and you still don't believe that other people didn't start the beef against the West coast artists and labels?
