Big always looked out for his family, whether related by blood or not, always respected him for that.

No he didn’t look out for Tupac and Tupac let him sleep on his couch and begged a bitch to let him sleep in the house. So he doesn’t get no respect.

King Courtney Tupac gets respect because he shot two cops of the opposite race for beating up an unarmed black guy. Biggie never shot nobody and damn sure would’ve never had the balls to shoot two cops of the opposite race to help a innocent black man like Tupac did. Biggie would have crapped his pants period.
