Top 10 most impactful moments in hip hop, when you consider the chain of events it spawned.
currently doing the math....
Pac was shot Nov 30th 1994, the night forever changed the course of hip hop as we know it.
Lets look at the facts that came to light recently with the help of Gene Deal, Majesty and Tupacs brother in law
1. Jimmy Hench Set Pac up as a favor for Hatian Jack
2.The beef stems from Pac confronting Hatian Jack at the court house about the rape Jack and his homeboy committed. Jack was offended Pac embarrassed him in front of his (Pacs) family
3.Biggie did not hide the gun under the piano. Pacs brother in law hid it. Lil Shawn falsely took credit for that. Big and Stretch brought the gun back though.
4. Stretch had no part in setting Pac up. Pac was upset that Stretch fell to the ground without a fight. Pac shot Nickles by accident.
5. Jimmy Hench called Stretch momma house and told him you and the Young Gunz don't want to go to war. "You need money for war".
6. Stretch told Pac what Jimmy said, Pac misconstrued what Stretch said. The Money For War was a warning to the Young Guns, not Pac.
7. Stretch did not visit Pac in prison because he never had his papers, so he sent E Money Bags and Nickles. By that time Pac had grown frustrated because no one from his team visited him so he did an interview with Vibe talking crazy, not knowing Bags and Nickles was about to pay him a visit.
8. Prodigy lied in his book about Pac telling Bags that he was going to fake a beef for record sales.
9. Pac was mad at Biggie because he did not look out for him financially and refused to answer his calls about helping with bail money. Big told Gene Deal this is what the issue Pac had with him.
10. King Tut was not involved in the shooting, Jimmy Hench spread that rumor. Dexter Issac was not involved, but he got part of the story correct, so he probably knows the real shooters
11. Pacs chains were not taken, he lied for insurance purposes.
12. Tupacs bother in law saw the shooters 2 years later
13. Figuratively speaking Pac did not cheddar bob himself
14. They came to beat and rob Pac and not to shoot him, but Pac pulled out his gun. They stole his Rolex and ring.
14. Diddy the opportunist used the shooting to promote Who Shot Ya.

Keep it a buck bro.
15. After E Money Bags visit to him in jail telling him Big/Puff had nothing to do with it he still never backtracked Big's involvement in it
You sure he got robbed for his Rolex??? I thought they left that on his wrist.
