How Come Biggie Never Directly Responded to Tupac?

[its....JOHN B]

Look at all these answers but yet u niggaz went hard @ tyga for calling pac his daddy

you fatherless, oooh biggie was scared of my daddy ass orphans

The answer was already given. Dont matter how known pac was. Big knew him personally to be a loud mouth attention whore

He even pressed him at a award show backstage and pac told him this was just for money and attention. Facts

Big aint wanna give blood no pick me up off of his name, thats it.

Big was an actual battle rapper in the skreets not on no meek milly shit but fr fr

Pac was an actor not on no degrassi shit but fr fr it wouldve been no competition

True story

I also believe Biggie still had love for Tupac, Biggie wasn't scared to made a diss track he was just very wise about the situation.

I will say though Junior M.A.F.I.A wanted to respond to Tupac.

 

[Antwuan89]

Another reason why Biggie probably couldn't respond, it may been bad timing. Tupac died a couple months after "Hit Em Up" was released and Biggie had just got his leg crushed 3 days after Tupac died. Biggie may have had a little bit of time to work but I think he working on his next album when that song came out.

 

[harry knucklez]

He dissed him on the "The Ugliest" but Busta never put it on "The Coming" album cause he didn't get involved. "The Coming" came out in March 1996, so this was recorded before "Hit Em Up" was released.

Big was in the height of his career, at his apex when all of this was going down. While Pac had all these legal issues with the police and the rape charge, Big was living the life. He had hit records and was going to award shows. In other words, 2Pac was mad at the world, but Biggie wasn't. Biggie was happy with the way his life was going so he didn't have any anger in him, not like 2Pac.

Think about it, 2Pac still had that rape case. Just because Suge bailed him out on an appeal he still had to go to trial again for the same case. He was stuck on Death Row and he obviously wasn't happy. Suge was treating him like a bitch and wasn't paying him. He was really mad at the world.

Biggie on the other hand seemed happy at Bad Boy, he had hits on the radio and everybody in New York was showing him love. Biggie just didn't have the same anger in him that 2Pac had so he couldn't respond to Hit Em Up accordingly. 2Pac had pretty much gone insane while Biggie was still thinking rationally.

Also, Big didn't have any beef with the West Coast. He was cool with Snoop and didn't want to burn any bridges.

Big wasn't about to jump out of the plane without a parachute the way 2Pac did.

Biggie wasn't completely happy. His bm was fucking is former friend and he just survived a accident that left him limping. He was also fatter then he ever was. Mark Curry said Biggie was planning to leave Bad Boy. He already had his own label with his man from the hood.

So not putting it a rap is ok since its biggie?

Make up y'all mind. Damn.

Lol @ telling a nigga who went 5x plat in a couple months "i dont wanna give you the chance to sell a few units"

or 4 months wasnt enough time.

Yall niggas gotta take the cape off b. When Jay vs Nas went down there wasnt any social media either, but Jay responded back in 1 day. Gtfoh with that bullshit. Biggie couldnt/didnt want to fuck with Pac, it is what it is.

This is basically what it come downs to, Biggie didn't want to fuck with 2pac, he knew his fan base was too strong. Going at 2pac too hard at the time would have backfired and Biggie knew it. 2pac was already a legend by 1995, Biggie had a lot of love too but not as much as 2pac had at the time.

I'm a Biggie fan but 4 months of not dissing shows how scared Biggie was to go at him.

The pictures yall paint for biggie are hilarious, "biggie was happy" lmaooooooo nigga this is HIPHOP

Pac fucked your BM and diss you and your whole crew on multiple tracks and the best you could muster is weak ass subliminals that probably weren't even meant for Pac.

Big was at his "apex" but Pac was STILL the bigger artist. Anyway you chop it, Big didnt want it with Pac.

@"5th Letter"

Yea super ugly, the quality might have not been on par with ether, but the point is , it didnt take him 4 plus months to respond. The length yall are going to defend Big's fear of Pac on wax is disgusting.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Because the beef was fake and a ploy to bring attention to their music. It wasn't his scheduled time to respond yet. Y'all niggas need to wake up.

 

[SneakDZA]

The short answer: Puffy probably told him not to.

But that's how it was back then. Dudes took time to respond to diss tracks. Super Ugly was an anomaly.

I had Biggie as the GOAT when he was alive back in 1996 and even then I was shocked at how Biggie was scared to go at Pac. Shocked but not angry at Biggie, because I knew even in NY 2pac had a ton of supporters. NY artists (the more famous ones at least) chose Biggie over 2pac but from what I remember, 2pac had about an equal amount of support from the avg New Yorker.

2pac was doing movies and making deep records that commanded universal respect, Biggie knew going at 2pac would hurt his career, so he backed down. 2pac made extremely personal attacks at him though, so there's really no excuse for Biggie letting that slide on wax like that. Puffy took the beef more personal then Biggie did....

 

[jono]

The short answer: Puffy probably told him not to.

More than likely. Death Row always tried to use beef to sell records, it was their gimmick. A gimmick label that ate itself. But fuck niggas love em.

 

[_Goldie_]

Diss records were being made since the beginning of hiphop, now it's a fuck nigga thing, smh. Yall stanning to the extreme in here.

He didnt say shit because he was guilty of settting Pac up. Everybody knew it then with no social media and now every year more and more evidence piles up about him helping in the 94 robbery. Look at that sway interview when they ask him about Pac. He looks guilty and confused. His best defense at the time was to stay silent to make Pac look like an unstable troublemaker. it sort of worked because most motherfuckers from new york swear biggie was an angel. he wasnt. the only reason why we call it a robbery is because his dumb ass shooters didnt have good aim to finish the job. They were planning to kill pac that night not just take his jewelry. The shooters failed and biggie knew the price he was ultimately going to have to pay. its kinda ironic. maybe him and pac would be alive if he did respond on wax who knows. RIP to both

.............................................. Biggie had nothing to do with it. The nigga Pac was gonna see that night, which was Henchman, was the one responsible. Pac was suppose to cut a track with Lil Shawn , that's why he was at The Quad Studios. Lil Shawn was managed by Henchman....

Infact Biggie warned Pac and told him to stay away from Haitian Jack and Jimmy Henchman etc. Pac ain't listen.

and to answer this thread, i think Big was scared of Pac. 95-96 Pac had momentum only a handful of artists ever had.

 

[T. Sanford]

Lol the reason sure move the goal post for Biggie

 

[The Recipe]

What do you say to a nigga that was your mentor and fucked your wife?

 

[gns]

You niggaz remind of them filipinos when they used to try to argue that floyd was scared of pacquiao

Two boxers that fought in the ring their entire lives but when it come to this one opponent the other fighter is just so scared

Yall c what happened with that.

The niggaz were friends at one time.

Marlon Wayans knew pac for years and was surprised at this new dude being all Rah Rah, even said he took his juice role and ran with it irl.

Now pac is this crazy guy niggaz was afraid of....wtf. Even them outlaw niggaz said he couldnt fight.

yall really need to grow up he was just a man(25 is actually still a kid to some) same as big, snoop,suge, and puffy.

Just a man who aint know when to switch off characters. Tf outta here bout niggaz being scared

 

[blackrain]

2 Pac dies a few months after Hit Em Up was released. There was no social media back then so news traveled kinda slow. I think 2 Pac died before Big got a chance to respond.

Lmao at the idea of 2Pac's death being news that would take months to reach Biggie

 

[macadonwoo]

because it's not smart to respond to someone who you and your C.E.O. plan to have clipped down. ....
