      Values? I don't know, but isn't it maybe elevating those two further than what they were? Rather uneducated men who rose to fame and in this process actually could not deal with the attention they were getting, not being able to establish working relationships. I am not too sure what one should look up to for, surely one shouldn't be coping those guys. Go to school, get educated, get a normal job, live your life. Cut the crap those guys talk about most of the time. Like, they were good at what they did, but that's it. Like your local carpenter.

      No, he didn't. He died because he was a coward. He dissed Tupac while Tupac was dead in Long Kiss Goodnight -- mocking Tupac's death, alluding to the Crips who killed Tupac. He even had the audacity to travel to California while utilising the Southside Crips as security, the same people who were responsible for killing Tupac. Biggie had the nerve to freestyle Long Kiss Goodnight on the radio in LA -- dissing a beloved dead man in their home turf, mocking his death. You call that dying for no reason? Biggie and Puff were absolute disrespectful.

      Biggie was an absolute punk. In 95, Snoop Dogg and the Doggpound went to New York to make a video paying homage to New York artists. Snoop was meant to go on the radio to promote his music but his session was cancelled. Following after, Snoop's radio session cancellation, Biggie phones the radio station and expresses that Snoop and Dogg Pound are making New York look weak, and they shouldn't be in New York making videos because it makes the city look soft.
      Biggie then gives the location of their trailer, live, on the radio, while also believing Tupac was with them, Snoop and the Dogg Pound's trailer gets shot up in New York after Biggie's speech on the radio.
      This is what made Tupac go haywire, setting up the events before Hit Em Up. Snoop, DJ Quik, The Doggpound, and Tupac then make a song dissing Biggie for having their trailer shot up and various New York artists for throwing subliminal disses at them on the song "New York 87".

      @Marie Richard
      You're dumb. Everyone told Biggie not to go to LA. Jay Prince informed Puffy and Biggie that it was too dangerous alongside being too soon to travelling to LA after Tupac's death.
      Literally, moments after Tupac's death, a gang war broke out between the Southside Crips (the gang responsible for killing Tupac) and Mob Piru, the same gang that Suge had many of their members on the payroll.
      BIG and Diddy went to LA under the false sense of security, since Tupac was dead and Suge was in jail. Moreover, they had the Southside Crips covering for them as security. So, they pretty much felt untouchable.
      Biggie was receiving death threats as soon as he landed in LA, and he was getting booed a lot by fans. Does this sound like someone that doesn't know? In his last freestyle with Sway, Biggie disses and mocks Tupac's death before saying he didn't care that Tupac died because he had other stuff to worry about.
      Word on the streets was that Biggie and Puffy had something to do with Pac's death. In the same freestyling interview with Sway, Sway asks Biggie if he had something to do with Tupac's death and he replies in a sarcastic, nonchalant manner, and laughing while saying "I am not that powerful... Yet". Even though in his lyrics, he says, "All I make is one phone call
      . All y'all disappear by tomorrow".
      Keefe D, the same person, alongside his nephew who both killed Tupac, admitted that Diddy placed a $1,000,000 bounty on Suge's and Tupac's head.

    You can really tell that Biggie wanted to end this beef, especially after it became bigger than him and 'Pac. Two visionaires that died too early. I discovered their music pretty late, but I'm so glad that I did. I listen to both new rap (which a lot of oldschool fans hate) and oldschool stuff, but the oldschool stuff just has a different vibe which I don't know if it will be replicated ever again. R.I.P. to Tupac, Biggie, DJ Screw, Eazy-E and anyone else who left their mark on the genre that took the world by storm.

    Tupac was killed by Orlando “baby lane” Anderson after Tupac and his crew stomped him at the MGM Grand Hotel for previously robbing one of their crew members.
    Suge Knight’s ex, who was pressured with serious jail time from the FBI, revealed that Biggie was killed by Wardell "Poochie" Fouse, a Mob Piru gang member and an associate of Knight.
    Orlando was killed in a shootout in LA and Poochie died on July 24, 2003, after being shot in the back while riding his motorcycle.

    Breaks my heart till this day. Didn’t even get time see his dream of producing a diamond album. 24 was undisputed number 1 in the whole game. He had more messages to give us all he hadn’t even reached his true potential. Rest easy the KING OF KINGS

      @@happyyier Just because you disagree with my opinion, doesn’t mean what I said was stupid. Also, before you call yourself insulting someone’s intelligence, check your grammar. They were intelligent and they were ahead of their time. Also, the word “ghetto” is not something Hitler made up and slavery has been going on for thousands of years.
