[@nickclark6236]

Got a new rabbit hole for you. These girls are amazing. STMLT is the name of the group.

[@johnstaniszewski8690]

I feel that BIG did write this before Pac got shot however I also feel Puffy and Bad Boy pushed to have it drop after Pac got shot to build up hype, record sales, not paying attention to what it could and did lead to. They didn't take Pac's state of mind when they dropped, how he would respond and that he was Thug Life

[@KnoxHill]

Well said 👏

[@tjallingdalheuvel126]

I agree. Puff had the reason to drove a wedge. Had a reason for both attempts. Had a reason to get nog eliminated too once he figured out who got pac shot.

[@sashafalcon5143]

2Pac took that bullet because of what he saw at the moment of the shooting. Anyway, he was too sensible with it.

[@MrPaytonw34]

Exactly

[@randomshit2949]

This comment is not related but it’s about Eminem I feel that Eminem took massive inspiration from BIGGIES lyrical abilities and flow

[@JustAPokemonCommentingOnVideos]

Respect Knox for revisiting these old classics , shows his love for the culture 💯

[@FanaticalVast]

Both Pac and Big were exceptional artists. Much respect to Knox for reacting to this.

[@mohash21]

Honestly, I feel like Who Shot Ya was so frickin brutal and if it WAS a diss, I'd consider it even more brutal than Hit Em Up (ik for Pac fans this is unacceptable) but his LYRICS are just man.... Those lethal bars, that commanding presence etc. amazing. Also, I get what you're trying to say and defend Pac's point of view. But almost all legends even then called him crazy for firing up the beefon such a huge level on such baseless claims. Even now many say that. I honestly think Biggie was just forcefully dragged into something he never wanted to be a part of.

[@randomphantom8242]

I find "Hit Em Up" to be have been super trash, contrary to most ppl who just adopt the popular opinion bcuz they have no thoughts. Even more so, Hit Em Up was a direct "snitch song" meant to implicate Biggie and others in crimes from shootings to robberies. He did it in interviews as well.

[@roylle6346]

Biggie is WAY better than pac, lyrically and personally

[@Helloimanalienfrommars]

Imnot into rap songs, but B.I.G. shot ya is just so smooth.

[@PhrankJWhite]

The GOAT

[@calvinbonner5787]

Old school new school need to learn though was a line at LL cool J, LL was in the studio when Biggie recorded it, there's a few different interviews clips of LL and a couple others talking about it, great reaction as usual, love from UK 🇬🇧

[@theavengers.]

Love the legends and their music since young

[@jessicarichter6436]

I love pac & biggie grew up with them both. It’s amazing when you think about how their music touched the heart of a lil girl in England & many round the world 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 sad they died too soon. Can you please do more Eminem breakdowns no1 dissects his lyricism like you do 🙏❤️

[@expectus9297]

I love the way you break down bars in these old songs you need to react to some Big L he was crazy back in the day 'Put It On' is a great start to that journey

[@420Romantic]

I always wished they could have put their differences aside, made their own record label, and took over the whole dang industry!!!!!!!! All while possibly bridging the gap between west coast/east coast... I LOVED them both!!!!! Both had their own set of songs that will always be in my top faves!!! Prayers and R.I.P to 2 of the greatest to ever do it in the rap game!!!!

[@trishap.6931]

Yesssss!!! The GOATs we lost to this beef was so tragic. Thank you for this, Knox. 💯❤ Being a teen during this time…it’s so sad to see how this history has been lost over time. You’re also doing a great job at adding context to the history.

[@JaxAttax451]

Biggie was a storyteller and Pac was a poet. Both the best of the best.

[@roylle6346]

Biggie was a poet pac wàs an angry woman

[@RikaShae]

Can’t believe people still try to make this beef even though the artists themselves say it wasn’t there. Junior Mafia was in the studio with BIG when this was recorded, and say it was shots at LL Cool J. They recorded this the night Jason’s Lyrics film was released, with LL in the studio, and then LL dropped “I Shot Ya” as a response to this. Biggie said it wasn’t about Pac, Diddy said it wasn’t about Pac, Junior Mafia said it wasn’t about Pac. The only people that thought it was about Pac was people around Pac that wanted the East/West beef to continue.

[@KnoxHill]

I’m not denying the interviews and the intention. I also don’t believe it was aimed for Pac. The issue tho is the timing of the drop and the failure to consider Pac’s mindstate after the release. Unfortunately this added more to Pac’s fire and helped to fuel Hit ‘Em Up, and we all know where it ultimately and unfortunately ended up for both of them.

[@mohash21]

​@@KnoxHill I think most of us, in our love for Pac, make huge excuses to make his side seem equally legitimate. Imo it was reckless from him from the start. Every legend outside of Deathrow was calling Pac crazy for instigating the 'beef' way beyond control on baseless claims. People started getting hurt because of this. And a major part of it was Tupac FEELING that he got shot by certain people. I think Biggie was dragged forcefully into a situation he didn't want to be in from the start. Made him an outcast in the other coast and ruined his personal life as well. I sympathize with his side more tbh. Pac was used by Suge and the 'thug life' flag bearers who gassed him up to cause problems and he just became crazy.

[@KnoxHill]

@@mohash21 I don’t think Bad Boy’s hands are completely clean. You have a team of people reviewing all releases before they go out, clearing all publishing rights, etc.. I think Puff saw it as a slick way to capitalize on the drama - knowing that a track titled “Who Shot Yea” would stir even more interest given Pac’s allegations. What they all failed to gauge was Pac’s side and how this track would be responded to. Seems like a typical label move to capitalize on an event for clicks that unfortunately spin way out of control, and yes Pac is much to blame for that. But I’m not going to give Puff a pass here either

[@martinchurch8839]

@@mohash21The points you are missing is Tupac was in Jail at the time and getting told that Bad boy was involved how easy would it of been for them to visit and squash the beef or send someone e.g his best friend at the time stretch ( who was also there at the shooting) that they had nothing to do with it but instead Stretch or none of Bad boy visited and stretch started rolling with Bad boy . Personal I think Biggie or Puff had nothing to do with it but knew who did it e.g Haitian Jack , Jimmy Henchman and had to take there side out of fear

[@roylle6346]

Pac was feminine,I despise the man

[@The_One_In_Black]

To this day I say Puff used this track to try and take out Pac and make Biggie the fall guy when the hit failed.

[@prestonhartlief]

You're right. And this wasn't a dis. It was Biggie's Way of telling Pac Bad boy is behind this. It's a cryptic message The line Big literally says, "rewind this Bad Boy's behind this". The use of apostrophe shows one person is behind this

[@mstwntd00]

@@prestonhartlief but the way Fluff played it with the timing and everything it looked as though it was an admission to the hit

[@prestonhartlief]

@@mstwntd00 look at it from this point of view. Everyone thought Big was involved. The man responded in the only way he knew how. You can literally segment it in to two. The first half of the song is an encrypted message to Pac. Letting Pac know that Bad boy is behind this. The second half of the song Big tells Pac if it was him, he would have pulled the trigger himself and Big would have been the last face Pac saw

Hey knox, I've got a rapper suggestion for you. Cam Steady is really good he technically does nerd core music, but you couldn't tell based on his songs alone. I think you'd like him, plus he does quite a bit of Pokémon stuff, and I know how much you love that.

[@adicontra]

maybe not being u.s. native, i misunderstand some facts... everyone prays b.i.g. and back in early 90s everyone talked about him as superstar.... but he really never "exploded" on the market, isnt it? ok, he had 2+2 albums, some collaboration, but for me the fact is that he kind of lost the battle against many, west & east... maybe the scenario of shooting tupac was "inspired" by some talking around the lyrics already written and the drop of this song was to booster the career of b.i.g.

I 100% agree this was just dropped at a terrible time and probably pushed to build hype and people made the connections to pac and the so called things that could be taken as disses/ sublims
