Everybody nosigned me, but consider this;
When LL and Kool Moe Dee were beefing, Kool Moe Dee sent out the first shot in 1987, they went back and forth a few rounds and LL didn't drop To Da Break Of Dawn until the spring of 1990 (it was on the House Party Soundtrack). The final diss was Death Blow by Kool Moe Dee which came out in 1991.
If that was the protocol then Biggie might have thought that their beef was going to take several rounds of back and forth. He might have expected the beef to take years.
According to wikipedia,
All Eyez on Me is the fourth studio album by American rapper 2Pac, released on February 13, 1996 under Death Row Records and distributed by Interscope Records.
"How Do U Want It" is a hip-hop song performed by Tupac Shakur. The third single from his album All Eyez on Me, it features R&B duo K-Ci & JoJo, who at the time were best known as the lead singers of Jodeci. The song debuted June 16, 1996. It was a Double A-side single to "California Love" in America, and the song reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #17 in the UK in 1996.

So according to wikipedia, All Eyes On Me was released on Feb 11, 1996 while the EP containing Hit Em Up was released on June 16 (which by my recollection seems about right). 2Pac was shot on September 7, 1996.
2Pac was shot 83 days after Hit Em Up was released.
In comparison, Takeover was released on Sep 11, 2001 and Ether came out on December 4, 2001. Ether was released 84 days after Takeover
2Pac was shot 83 days after Hit Em Up was released and died on the 90th day.
Ether was released 84 days after Takeover was released.
Lets go back to my initial post on page 1;

If Biggie waited the exact same amount of time Nas waited to release Ether then 2Pac would have been laid out in the hospital when Big released his diss.
I stand by my original theory that 2Pac died before Biggie got a chance to respond.
Damn seems like Ether came out sooner than that but I guess not. Nas did release the mixtape joint but it was light and most never heard it.
Big took a few shoots at Pac on the Badboy mixtape with Puff talking shit on it but most of these young niggas on here never heard that mixtape also the tape didn't get pushed a lot cause Pac got killed right after it dropped.
BTW Most of these Pac stans can't name you one song off Pac's first tape without Google. Damn shame both of these brother's are dead over bullshit and lame niggas still argue over THEIR beef.
Quite a few rappers dissed Pac after Hit Em Up.
You got a gat you better find it
And use that shit, think fast and get reminded
Of robberies in Manhattan, you know what happened
60 G's worth of gun clapping
Who shot ya?
You probably screamed louder than an opera
New York got ya, now you wanna use my mob as a crutch
What you think you can't get bucked again?
Once again
