Its ill when mc's used to be on cruddy sh*t, took home Ready To Die, listened, study sh*t...

[5th Letter]

probably a shot at nas

 

[jono]

Most likely a shot at Nas. He switched his whole shit up after Ready To Die and Only Built For Cuban Linx came out. 2Pac did go more pop on All Eyes On Me, so maybe he was shooting at him too. But it was definitely a shot at Nas.

 

[AntonLATroy]

LOL big bit both of them and a buch of other people it is a reverse psych line

 

[SheerExcellence]

he was really talking about how he was biting this nigga right here

[vslyke]

Could also be a reference to Jay... after all Jay had been scuffling in the game for years and years until he switched up his style and embraced the same kind of crossover appeal that BIG had... Jay & BIG always had a friendly rivalry. Most likely its a shot at Nas though.

I already broke this down on the "Kick In the Door" thread. It was mostly a diss to NaS who switched from Cruddy (ILLmatic) to Money shit (It Was Written). This is why a lot of Eastcoast rappers where hating on Big at the time, he was able to still have Street Cred cause he dropped the gutter joints like "Warning, Who Shot Ya, Unbelievable" and mixed them with club tracks like "One More Chance, Big Poppa etc" So some NYC Rappers just couldn't understand how he had the streets and mainstream on lock. They talked shit and then followed his blueprint. Big=Balance, something Jay and NaS and tons of other rappers learned from.

I always figured it was a shot to 2pac because of the completely different styles from his early albums to All Eyez On Me

Yea but Pac had Dre for AEOM so that's part of the reason his sound was different

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

Dre did one song on that album. Maybe he did two

Not a shot at Pac cause it was Puff along with Pac why Big even gave the commercial side of rap a chance. Big was a hip hop head, if it was up to him his whole album would of sounded like Warning. Pac would tell Big to have balance in his songs, this was around the time Pac found a little balance himself after he released "I get around". The only diss Big had against Pac on "Kick in the Door" is when he said his reign on the top was short as he crushed so called "Thugs", that was it. Not a diss to Jay cause he was Big's disciple plus at that point Jay only had "RD" out before Big died.

That's kick in the door right?Well Primo made it quit clear that that song was without a doubt about Nas.

Big was talking to Premier in his rap when he said "Son I'm surprised you run w/ them cuz they nothing but dicks" because Primo fucked w/ Nas too.

 

[yeah i rap so don't]

California Love and Can't C Me

[deakino]

I still don't think Nas got on that money shit til' I Am.

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

They Lightweight

Fragilly/My nine milly make the white shake/thats why my money never funny/And you still recoupin stupid

[rapmastermind]

I broke down all 3 verses of Kick In The Door in this thread:

[Idiopathic Joker]

so Shootouts was towards BIG

 

[rapmastermind]

so Shootouts was towards BIG

I'm saying that Big listened to I.W.W. obviously and he felt that the character Frank in "Shootouts" was a subliminal at him. NaS only admitted he was going at Big on "The Message" but he was sending subliminals at Big on that album.

 

[CoolJoe]

How in the fuck was Jay Big's disciple? Explain this, please.
