Biggie probably had foreknowledge about the hit on Tupac


*** PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SEVERAL HUGE SPOILERS AND IS INTENDED FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY WATCHED THE FILM ***

I've seen a few comments on the web that think that Biggie was an innocent victim. That seems to be the conclusion of Keffe D and the filmmakers as well. However, I don't think that's the case, since Keffe D also states that not only Puffy, but also Faith Evans, called the killers up and asked: "Was that you?". And if Faith Evans knew, who was the wife of Biggie, then it's pretty safe to assume that also Biggie knew about the hit ordered against Pac and Suge. Maybe he wasn't involved in ordering the hit, but it's highly likely that he knew about it and did nothing to stop it. So he sure as hell wasn't an innocent victim...

To explain further: On Keffe D's taped confession he says that Faith [Evans] called him up and asked "Was that you?" with regard to the hit on Pac and Suge. This means that she probably had foreknowledge about the impending hit. And if Biggie really didn't know anything about it, then it is most likely that she learned about it from Diddy himself, who was the one that ordered the hit.

Now, if Diddy is telling people like Faith Evans about the hit, it seems almost certain that he also told Biggie about it. I mean, would he tell Evans but not his boy Biggie!? That just doesn't make any sense at all! It would be more reasonable to assume that Diddy told Biggie first about the hit, who then relayed the info to his wife Evans.

Either way, it means that Biggie had foreknowledge about the hit on Pac and Suge, and did nothing (or not enough) to prevent it from happening.

The only truly innocent victim here is 2pac. He deserves justice, and the Sad Boy that got him killed should be an "inmate4life".

Biggie's memory should however rightfully be tainted with the fact that he probably new that Pac was going to get killed, and that he just let it happen, or maybe even wanted it to happen.

Think about it, would Diddy have ordered the hit without telling anything at all to Biggie about it? I wonder... We already know that Diddy exercised very poor judgment in an earlier instance, when shooting his mouth off in front of a whole room full of people about wanting Pac and Suge killed. Now, although Diddy is a scumbag, I don't think that he is an idiot, so he might have been able to keep his big mouth shut about ordering the hit. However, something tells me that he likes to shoot his mouth off, and that he is in the habit of doing so very regularly...

I just feel really sad for Pac. I miss him and wish he were still around.

Tupac and Biggie both deserve justice, and I think both were victimized. But Tupac did beat up Anderson and fuel the whole feud with the East Coast, especially with that song. He didn't deserve to be killed but he was not totally innocent.

Biggie fuelled it too. Lets not forget that it was he who released "Who Shot 'Ya" BEFORE Pac brought out "Hit 'Em Up". It's just that Pac was a more emotional character who came at you straight, sometimes without thinking whereas Biggie was more subliminal about his disses.

I don't believe that Biggie was as innocent as some make out. He played an active rule in the escalation of the beef. "Who Shot 'Ya" cannot be interpreted as anything other than someone looking to get a rise out of Tupac and escalating the rivalry.

Biggie's most costly mistake however was was going to California in March 1997, believing that the heat had been taken out of the whole thing with Pac and Suge off the scene. That was very naïve of him, and he paid very dearly for that error of judgement.

I only read the first paragraph - but take into account Keefe d did this ON HIS OWN and didn't even really know puffy other than a handshake...THEN re-red what you wrote. Big wasn't like that anyways. Why you think big and pac became friends to begin with? Cuz they were SO different? No. Biggie's character was of a hustler - just trying to feed his kids. Pac was a radical, poet, black panther esque, intelligent, creative character until he went with death row and adopted the thug life persona of pac that got him killed over ignant *beep* I don't see either of these two actually wanting to or having a hand in killing the other. Puffy wasn't suge but tried to act that way. IF/when puffy 'wanted' someone killed he did the pussy way. Gave out free tickets to 50 gang members and then (in however fashion) proclaims he'll pay 500,000.00 to anyone who brings me their heads. Suge, just *beep* hires his boy to kill biggie. So with that I don;t think puffy has any hand in this (he could though, i just see no real proof other than coincidental connections) but Suge - yeah he had biggie killed just to prove a point. A Notoriously BIG point.

Biggie is the real victim in this story - and I LOVE pac, always have, but his dumb ass got himself killed over a *beep* chain. Thug Life baby.


You Suck...now deal with it.

Keffe D definitely knew Puff from more than "just a handshake". He provided them with "muscle" when they came to LA to counter Suge's MOB Piru muscle. In fact Keffe D had known Puff since at least 94... If you watch the video for Usher's "U Can Get Wit It'... that's Keffe D's lowrdier that Puff barrowed for the video.

And Pac isn't as innocent in all of this as you want to believe. He aligned himself with gang members and created/involved himself in certain situations he had no business being apart of.

It was really surprising when he named dropped Faith calling him asking if it was him who merked Pac, I do agree that if she knew Biggie prob knew too as well... HOWEVER.

This is the testimony of a guy with nothing to lose looking for a favor (a prison transfer if I don't recall wrong) so I wouldn't be surprised if most if not all he said was bogus, he most likely sprinkled on some stuff regardless telling the cops what they wanted to hear to ensure getting what he wanted. And alot of the times it was just the cops telling him if this or that happened and Keffe just said yes.

Also though to claim that "The only truly innocent victim here is 2pac. He deserves justice" that's a bit ludicrous.

Tupac beat mercilessly up Orlando Anderson (as well as countless of other people through out his days, one of the Hughes brothers after not getting the role in Menace II Society, a producer who Pac felt did Snoop wrong and even his brother Mopreme... it was sort of his thing to get a squad to gangbeat up 1 person).

Pac also most likely knew that Biggie and Puffy didn't have anything to do with the 1994 shooting. One of the people suggest this in this documentary and Voletta Wallace Biggie's mother has said in a interview that Biggie called her after Tupac and him met again in 1996 because Biggie wanted to sort out their beef and make sure he knew he didn't set him up in which Tupac supposedly said that it was cool and "it's all about the money".

Now he most likely thought that they had something to do with it initially but came to his senses eventually, however did no attempts at squashing the beef which was made on a misunderstanding because it worked for good inspiration in his music and gave him more time in the limelight.

And of course, the way he used Faith Evans as a tool to get at Bad Boy was disgusting.

So yeah Tupac was not a truly innocent victim he was a firestarter and ended up getting burned. One of the best rappers of all time yes but he was not an angel.
