If I'm not mistaken, Biggie did tell Pac to be careful of the dudes he hangs around. Sometimes, you can warn people, and they don't see the seriousness of the situation or take it lightly. The second thing is you can't blame Pac for not trusting anyone after that.
@@muhammedmamadikassama9842 In reality. He actually ended up getting robbed by Jack's people for it because Pac went and told them that Biggie said he should be careful hanging out with them. I doubt Big knew that Jimmy was trying to get Pac robbed in Quad Studios that night, but if he somehow I wouldn't blame him after Pac got him lined up the first time.
Kirk is a very sincere and down to earth man. Y'all gotta remember he saved Mary J.'s career after Puffy screwed her over and just before she got with Kunta Kinte Isaacs. Kirk was also fired from Bad Boy Records, probably because he couldn't get with all the low down dirty sh*t that was going on at that record label.

This explains where the animosity came from... suge says it started when he tried to get biggie to perform at his club and puffy wanted all of the door money instead of taking a flat fee.

Everybody seems to focus on the service level but don't pay attention to the puppeteers engineering this west/east coast fued between Bad Boy/Death Row. Those puppeteers are David Kennar and Clive Davis who set back watched all this mess unfold while making uber millions seeing hip hop being slowly destroyed from within. Divide then conquer has been the ultimate chess play made by these puppeteers which no one's paying attention to the shadow figures pulling the strings in the background. Hip Hop is a billion dollar industry and it's unfortunate that Puffy & Suge Knight couldn't see that they were being used as pawns to engineer a Conquer then Divide strategy to ultimately be destroyed. Now Death Row & Bad Boy records are both basically defunct along with the rap industry.

This guy denies knowing Tupac would be attacked or shot. But doesn’t deny knowing who did it. That’s the problem with the “ no snitch “ code. If a friend robs a friend you think the victim doesn’t deserve justice? Basically, you betrayed your friends trust.
Damm this Brotha's VIBE👌💯 is outta this world.He presents(ARTICULATES) his PRESPECTIVE of what went dwn when he was around the industry back then in very CALMY MANNER👍👌.#MUCHRESPECT
Salute to Art Of Dialogue & Kirk. Kirk knows a lot in regards to Puff and Bad Boy Entertainment. I will say that I think the robbery/shooting at Quad Studio of 2Pac in 1994 was to discipline 2Pac for dissin' certain individuals in the media/press at the time. Nothing more or less.
Facts.. He was already with digital underground. I don’t give a damn where he was born. Everyone knows Pac from a west coast group. So how did he go west after he was shot, when he was already with the west? And he skipped over the part of why did Big drop who shot ya. That’s what really ignited the beef and that out of Tupac’s own mouth.
@@bronxcali4891 i think most pac fans including me are well aware of this. point being pacs career as a serious musician began on the west coast. from digital underground, and all his studio albums are west coast, oakland-bay area influenced. there’s no debate to be had.
@@bronxcali4891Before I even address this, wtf does this have to do with what she said or what dude said? He was already out West and that's a fact. Was repping it on songs and everything.
PAC was bicoastal born and raised on the East and then later came out West. He actually lived in Decatur, Georgia during the time he was going to jail. But he was always in New York working producers and hanging with people back there. He loved Cali but he loved the East Coast as well..
Pac said multiple times he loves the East,his problem was with certain individuals who came at him and those who he felt should've had his back but then you had opportunist who saw a chance to get into the lime light and capitalize off the situation. Rest in Love to both Pac and Big I only wished we could have seen things resolved and both lived to their full potential.
“Biggie would have done anything to help him”. Releases “Who Shot Ya?” after 2pac is shot. Releases The Long Kiss Goodnight after 2pac dies. Performs The Long Kiss Goodnight on LA radio live after 2pac dies. Wow, Biggie must have really been an idiot if he never meant any of those things 🤔
Big wasn’t involved but Henchmen, a known affiliate of Puff Daddy did indeed set up Tupac. So Puffy in turn may have known! That’s why on “Against All Odds” Pac never mentioned Biggie! Pac & Big would’ve made up after Big left Puff and Pac left Suge imo.
I said the same thing when I commented on the Cease interview! Pac never mentioned biggie in against all odds! That's telling when he said "this is the realest shit I ever wrote" ppl gotta pay attention biggie just got caught in the middle
Different time back then. It came out on his album, as opposed to “hit ‘em up” coming out on a mixtape. The artist has little control of when their album comes out.
Wendy Day is one of the gems of this culture. She is still doing great work to this day. WENDY DAY. We havent worked together yet, but I thank you for you being you!! Yodel at me if you see this. Art you shouldve known about her. smh
I hate hearing this BS. Pac loved the East Coast. He only had a problem with Jimmy, puffy, Big, & Haitian Jack. He said it SOOOOOOOmany times, but ninjas with no lives and nothing to do always want to inject themselves INTO BS that doesn't concern them. ALL of Pac's movies excluding poetic justice, East Coast. Thug Life, East Coast. Outlaws are East Coast. All of his music excluding 2 albums were East Coast. He continued to make music with East Coast artists like Faith, Methodman, Onyx, Treech, and tins of others. In reality it wasn't Pac but East Coast artists who started the East vs West beef.
Biggie didn't know pac was goin get robbed at the studio..but biggie did knew who did it...biggie was scared to tell pac who did it cause he might say something..dats y pac said fear is stronger then love
Ya info is wrong, biggie had already warned pac jack was shiesty and pac went back and told jack, which got biggie robbed. Pac is stupid if he think biggie goona ride with him against a kingpin who litteraly has hitmen working for him.
@@bweezy565 or someone could of set it up to were Big and Pac was in the same building together and made them go against each other like they did, but we will never know because we wasn't there or we didn't do the shooting. All we can make is opinions
Have you ever been to Rikers? Or known anyone who did time there?? Man listen, it’s not a fun place. It’s a zoo, literally the inmates run the jail and the officers are crooked. I’m sure he wanted to leave asap
I see you the only one up on game I said the same thing reading through the comments that's all he doing is repeating the s*** that everybody already know like he heard pretty much I don't think he was there and around like that
@Terence Decker THANK YOU! For years people from NY have tried to paint this picture that Biggie was so above it, and the beef was all Pac. BS! Biggie was involved with that dumb ass East Coast/West Coat beef just as much as Pac was. The only difference was Pac came at Biggie head on, while Biggie stayed being slick and undercover with his disses. I'm fed up with that narrative. Biggie was NOT above it, he just didn't have the balls to come back at Pac head on.
That whole Biggie being the King of NY being the reason why he should have known who did & prevented it is the goofiest shit I’ve ever heard. It’s LIKR everyone including fans knew Pac was into all kinds of shit. As impulsive as he is & the fact that he’s from NY he could have been into all kinds of shit Biggie didn’t know about. I have friends I love that always get into shit I get hesitant jumping off the cliff cause u just don’t know wtf going on. If I’m there & shit going down I don’t waste time trying to figure out who what why. I’m just whooping ass & find out later. But if I don’t know wtf happen & I wasn’t there I’m not trying anything to jump off the cliff for a homie I know gets into shit especially if they the type that gets drunk b& wanna fight every time they sipping on HEN ROCK. Plus if I’m Biggie who’s career Is just starting to pop, I’m married with kids that changes any real man’s perspective. Stop blaming Biggie
I can feel you on this, but at the same time, why didn’t he visit Pac in prison, why did they release ”who shot ya”. I think getting shot 5 times, robbed, and getting framed and put in prison for a crime you didn’t commit, changes you
Smart man, u see through the pac was innocent BS. Biggie and Mike Tyson warned him about Jack. People with a half of brain know the term "king of New York" came from his favorite movie at the time. Pac disrespected Jimmy Henchmen on the phone over being paid via check instead of cash. Who tells everyone (including pac's friends) that he's gonna get him before hand?
First of all, somebody in that studio new Tupac was coming. That's why he blamed him because it ain't like he was broadcasting his whereabouts everywhere he go. So for them to say they ain't had nothing to do with it I could see how he would think they were lying.
Big could of dead this long time ago when Pac was in prison, he could of pull strings to visit Pac and Jail and settle things or get in contact with his mom but he didn't, he was in jail for 9 months, Biggs had plenty of time to talk to Pac when he was locked up.
@The Esquire of Sports ® Pac wasn't talking shit about biggie In prison get your facts right bro, Pac denounce Thug Life while he was prison watch his old interviews while he's in prison
Biggie definitely wasn’t being referred to as “King of New York” when Pac got hit in Quad studio, but he was close enough to the street to know what happened. Even worse, claiming to be “king” post shooting added to the expectations a friend would have after being shot.
I strongly feel Tupac was looking at it like if you're my friend and you're portraying to be the king of New York you're supposed to get out in the streets and find out what happened especially if we're friends
Y'all ignorant NYC cats don't know who do what I'm there City all the Time and another note the 5 Boroughs in New York City so I'm going to say some if the Burroughs don't team up like Biggie don't know all the moves in NYC that thug Cats and Gangs do Seriously it's very Complicated in the Big Apple!
Nope. They knew pac was coming up but they seen something in biggie also biggie was not the king of N.Y. Pac was and he was world wide something biggie was going to be martked to the world as but they needed PAC gone. In more than one way..
Next episode, Art: So my man, in the song "Long kiss goodnight" when Biggie said "I'll make yo mouthpiece obese like Della Reese" was he talking about Puffy?
People don't talk about the fact that when the RZA came to the West Coast and got robbed for his chain Tupac put his life on the line by getting on the Forefront and getting chain back...That's what I feel pac was expecting to do but as we all know sometimes in life you can't expect people to do as you would do

This guy denies knowing Tupac would be attacked or shot. But doesn’t deny knowing who did it. That’s the problem with the “ no snitch “ code. If a friend robs a friend you think the victim doesn’t deserve justice? Basically, you betrayed your friends trust.
Damm this Brotha's VIBE👌💯 is outta this world.He presents(ARTICULATES) his PRESPECTIVE of what went dwn when he was around the industry back then in very CALMY MANNER👍👌.#MUCHRESPECT

Kirk speak alot of facts good dude
Salute to Art Of Dialogue & Kirk. Kirk knows a lot in regards to Puff and Bad Boy Entertainment. I will say that I think the robbery/shooting at Quad Studio of 2Pac in 1994 was to discipline 2Pac for dissin' certain individuals in the media/press at the time. Nothing more or less.
😄😄 thanks for the chuckle
@@stockstock6805 What chuckle? What's funny?🤷🏾♂️
@@sms130official u and ur deposit 😄
Nah Jimmy was tryna extort Pac he wasnt going for that shit
And you my friend you will never ever.. ever be a journalist that's an impossibility
Golden info there at the end!!
Wendy Day is legendary! She is responsible for a lot in hip hop from 2pac to wu tang to cash money she’s made deals for legends from east to west!!!!
Yup and she was a huge Pac fan. She still shows him a lot of love to this day
that's wild how he send letter but chilly
folks need to stop saying he went west or other variations of that statement. pac had been on the west coast. he’s bay area.
Facts.. He was already with digital underground. I don’t give a damn where he was born. Everyone knows Pac from a west coast group. So how did he go west after he was shot, when he was already with the west? And he skipped over the part of why did Big drop who shot ya. That’s what really ignited the beef and that out of Tupac’s own mouth.
@@bronxcali4891 i think most pac fans including me are well aware of this. point being pacs career as a serious musician began on the west coast. from digital underground, and all his studio albums are west coast, oakland-bay area influenced. there’s no debate to be had.
@@bronxcali4891 he was thug not gangster
@@bronxcali4891Before I even address this, wtf does this have to do with what she said or what dude said? He was already out West and that's a fact. Was repping it on songs and everything.
PAC was bicoastal born and raised on the East and then later came out West. He actually lived in Decatur, Georgia during the time he was going to jail. But he was always in New York working producers and hanging with people back there. He loved Cali but he loved the East Coast as well..
Pac said multiple times he loves the East,his problem was with certain individuals who came at him and those who he felt should've had his back but then you had opportunist who saw a chance to get into the lime light and capitalize off the situation. Rest in Love to both Pac and Big I only wished we could have seen things resolved and both lived to their full potential.
“Biggie would have done anything to help him”.
Releases “Who Shot Ya?” after 2pac is shot.
Releases The Long Kiss Goodnight after 2pac dies.
Performs The Long Kiss Goodnight on LA radio live after 2pac dies.
Wow, Biggie must have really been an idiot if he never meant any of those things 🤔
Great interview
Soon as he said ‘Pac went to jail on a rape charge’ made me realise he’s not Pac’s people.
Thorough dude right here ✅
Big wasn’t involved but Henchmen, a known affiliate of Puff Daddy did indeed set up Tupac. So Puffy in turn may have known! That’s why on “Against All Odds” Pac never mentioned Biggie! Pac & Big would’ve made up after Big left Puff and Pac left Suge imo.
I said the same thing when I commented on the Cease interview! Pac never mentioned biggie in against all odds! That's telling when he said "this is the realest shit I ever wrote" ppl gotta pay attention biggie just got caught in the middle
Puff definitely knew
@@donaldb93 been saying same thing for a minute. Against all odds>long kiss
@@michaela5811 long kiss goodnight I would've respected it more if it came out when Pac was alive that's why PAC won that battle to me
Different time back then. It came out on his album, as opposed to “hit ‘em up” coming out on a mixtape. The artist has little control of when their album comes out.
Very well spoken dude. Nice for a change.
Wendy Day is one of the gems of this culture. She is still doing great work to this day. WENDY DAY. We havent worked together yet, but I thank you for you being you!! Yodel at me if you see this. Art you shouldve known about her. smh
I hate hearing this BS. Pac loved the East Coast. He only had a problem with Jimmy, puffy, Big, & Haitian Jack. He said it SOOOOOOOmany times, but ninjas with no lives and nothing to do always want to inject themselves INTO BS that doesn't concern them. ALL of Pac's movies excluding poetic justice, East Coast. Thug Life, East Coast. Outlaws are East Coast. All of his music excluding 2 albums were East Coast. He continued to make music with East Coast artists like Faith, Methodman, Onyx, Treech, and tins of others. In reality it wasn't Pac but East Coast artists who started the East vs West beef.
finally someone from badboy keeping it 100
You think big Gene be lying on these interviews?
This interview is iconic Art. Good Shit
Biggie didn't know pac was goin get robbed at the studio..but biggie did knew who did it...biggie was scared to tell pac who did it cause he might say something..dats y pac said fear is stronger then love
Ya info is wrong, biggie had already warned pac jack was shiesty and pac went back and told jack, which got biggie robbed. Pac is stupid if he think biggie goona ride with him against a kingpin who litteraly has hitmen working for him.
@@6thbr871 jack never shot pac ....
@@bweezy565 went know jack didn't shoot him but some of his peoples did
@@ryandavis6245 yea cause jimmy set it up n puffy knew something would have happen
@@bweezy565 or someone could of set it up to were Big and Pac was in the same building together and made them go against each other like they did, but we will never know because we wasn't there or we didn't do the shooting. All we can make is opinions
This man's hand gesture game is on another level 😂
MJB was in a very good place when this man managed her! much respect!
I need this entire interview😯😲
How aint he talking about the killing of suges friend at the club? That started the beef before pac. Look how Sean treated wolf 🐺 he's a snake 🐍
What did Diddy do to Wolf? Last time I checked, Wolf got smoked by a goon from BMF.
@@MichaelBrown-ti1un he never paid him anything. Gene Deal talks about this
Didn't mention that Puffy and Henchmen were there and Biggie didn't even know Puffy was there. Tut, who shot Pac is Henchens boy and right hand dude.
I wished he was like my uncle or something. I'd love to listen to him talk about all this stuff all day 💯
Clickbait. It wasnt a letter from tupac, it was 3 letters on a napkin!
finally the real story
Biggie warned tupac
West side up
Kirk wassup with the "Rick james" look! Lol
Just teasing kirk😄
If east coast friends never protected him imagine the west coast label did the same. 2 pac went all out both sides
This a sincere interview
That prison time on In Ny changed pac and something inside him made him decided he wanted to leave quicker than ever. 🤔
Have you ever been to Rikers? Or known anyone who did time there?? Man listen, it’s not a fun place. It’s a zoo, literally the inmates run the jail and the officers are crooked. I’m sure he wanted to leave asap
@@chanellerogers8862 Pac spent most of his time in Clinton Max upstate new york
@ the same time he realized all his

He's a 2pac troll and a clown. I've owned his ass in plenty of debates in the past on this channel. Just ignore him
2PAC crushed badboy empire by his mf self puff ain't ish
😂😂😂😂
Biggie said he knew but Warnes him... only thing is his warning was to stay away from Jack but not the plot. Let's keep it 💯
Pac was a grown man. If BIG told him to stay away from someone and Pac dealt with them anyway what else could anyone do? Natural consequences.
& Big was wearing Pac jewels afterwards
where's the letter? Please Art or Kirk we need to see the letter.....Thank you!
This dude just literally told the story that everyone knows
I see you the only one up on game I said the same thing reading through the comments that's all he doing is repeating the s*** that everybody already know like he heard pretty much I don't think he was there and around like that
Exactly!!!
@@deshawndon2583 he’s repeating it word for word. Because that’s what happened you fucking 🤡🤡
U people are morons
@@deshawndon2583 idiot
Master communicator
They knew but couldn't speak on it. I believe puff knew for sure. Him and Annnndreee.
FACTS
He knew all he needed 2 know!!! I disrespect Jimmy which was a no no!💪🏽💯
Tupac wasn't mad bout how it happened but what biggie and Diddy did after he was shot
Facts
Great content!
Awesome.
@Terence Decker THANK YOU! For years people from NY have tried to paint this picture that Biggie was so above it, and the beef was all Pac. BS! Biggie was involved with that dumb ass East Coast/West Coat beef just as much as Pac was. The only difference was Pac came at Biggie head on, while Biggie stayed being slick and undercover with his disses. I'm fed up with that narrative. Biggie was NOT above it, he just didn't have the balls to come back at Pac head on.
That whole Biggie being the King of NY being the reason why he should have known who did & prevented it is the goofiest shit I’ve ever heard. It’s LIKR everyone including fans knew Pac was into all kinds of shit. As impulsive as he is & the fact that he’s from NY he could have been into all kinds of shit Biggie didn’t know about. I have friends I love that always get into shit I get hesitant jumping off the cliff cause u just don’t know wtf going on. If I’m there & shit going down I don’t waste time trying to figure out who what why. I’m just whooping ass & find out later. But if I don’t know wtf happen & I wasn’t there I’m not trying anything to jump off the cliff for a homie I know gets into shit especially if they the type that gets drunk b& wanna fight every time they sipping on HEN ROCK. Plus if I’m Biggie who’s career Is just starting to pop, I’m married with kids that changes any real man’s perspective. Stop blaming Biggie
Factz!! 💯🤞🏾
I can feel you on this, but at the same time, why didn’t he visit Pac in prison, why did they release ”who shot ya”. I think getting shot 5 times, robbed, and getting framed and put in prison for a crime you didn’t commit, changes you
Facts. Tupac was moving real reckless but if you say that mofos will attack you.
Smart man, u see through the pac was innocent BS. Biggie and Mike Tyson warned him about Jack. People with a half of brain know the term "king of New York" came from his favorite movie at the time. Pac disrespected Jimmy Henchmen on the phone over being paid via check instead of cash. Who tells everyone (including pac's friends) that he's gonna get him before hand?
Explain big wearing pac's rings in damn near ever pic after that... "See you in the street, your jewelry you can keep it that'll be our lil secret" 🤫
biggie was in his 20s he was far from the king of the streets...alpo martinez or preacher were the king of the streets
First of all, somebody in that studio new Tupac was coming. That's why he blamed him because it ain't like he was broadcasting his whereabouts everywhere he go. So for them to say they ain't had nothing to do with it I could see how he would think they were lying.
Yo Wendy Day don't get enough credit in hip-hop history. Probably cuz she a white lady. Still tho. She had a hand in hip hop nationwide
Big could of dead this long time ago when Pac was in prison, he could of pull strings to visit Pac and Jail and settle things or get in contact with his mom but he didn't, he was in jail for 9 months, Biggs had plenty of time to talk to Pac when he was locked up.
@VVS So was surge and he did it
How when u got a dude calling u out
Boi hell nah pac was talking crazy asab literally days after and continued
My Point Exactly, how could pac talk reckless about Biggie be for the shooting, nothing was said about biggie until he cam out of prison
@The Esquire of Sports ® Pac wasn't talking shit about biggie In prison get your facts right bro, Pac denounce Thug Life while he was prison watch his old interviews while he's in prison
Biggie definitely wasn’t being referred to as “King of New York” when Pac got hit in Quad studio, but he was close enough to the street to know what happened. Even worse, claiming to be “king” post shooting added to the expectations a friend would have after being shot.
I strongly feel Tupac was looking at it like if you're my friend and you're portraying to be the king of New York you're supposed to get out in the streets and find out what happened especially if we're friends
Word!!!
Facts. He said that in Vibe interview
The king of New York is a movie
Y'all ignorant NYC cats don't know who do what I'm there City all the Time and another note the 5 Boroughs in New York City so I'm going to say some if the Burroughs don't team up like Biggie don't know all the moves in NYC that thug Cats and Gangs do Seriously it's very Complicated in the Big Apple!
he found out it's all business at the end of the day.
Nope. They knew pac was coming up but they seen something in biggie also biggie was not the king of N.Y. Pac was and he was world wide something biggie was going to be martked to the world as but they needed PAC gone. In more than one way..
SO THIS IS THE NIGGA THAT REALLY RAN BAD BOY .....INTERESTING....SALUTE TO THIS MAN HE REALLY DID ALL THE DIRTY WORK AND WAS LOYAL💯💯💯💯💯💯
Next episode,
Art: So my man, in the song "Long kiss goodnight" when Biggie said "I'll make yo mouthpiece obese like Della Reese" was he talking about Puffy?
😂
😳
The facts my brother!!
