LKGN is a masterful response record imo because of how Big is able to address different things without really addressing it.
Kind of like OJ Simpson's if I DID IT book. Like for one, why allude to being involved in both shootings if you're going to claim your innocence afterwards? Why release the record in the first place? It's not about hiding your hands to fans but rather the police. When Big released Who Shot Ya, the story is that Pac heard that and felt like Big knew something and was in cahoots. True or not, Pac was paranoid and Suge believed in his paranoia enough to support his beef against Bad Boy. So what does Big do? He plays into it by saying things like "Blood flood your dungarees", "Slugs miss ya, I ain't mad at ya". "My team in marine blue". "Laugh now, cry later", It's like he's saying, "I wasnt involved but I'ma make yall believe I did because this is how delusional yall are."
"Maniacs put my name in raps"
Here Big goes at Pac's thug image by mentioning how he's flat out snitching on records but also addressing the "Big scared to mention my name" argument. Big's basically saying he's dissing you subliminally because he isnt trying to fukk up his money and have police asking him questions." He's like what I'm saying is factual so, I'm suppose to use aliases and disguise my words.
Considering how connected Puff was to the SSC, it would've only made sense that he/they didn't actually use Pac's name here.
"Your whole life you lived sneaky, now you rest eternally sleepy"
Big highlighting the fact that Pac was always getting himself in trouble everywhere he went. Marin City shooting, Quad shooting, Vegas shooting.
"Look what you made me do, brains blew"
Again he's talking about Pac's poor decision making and parroting the narrative of Pac getting himself killed by attacking Orlando. Remember Big is mockingly saying "Look what you made me do" because Pac is blaming him/Bad Boy for everything he did to himself.
So yeah, Big doesnt lose any points from me for releasing this because if Pac was in the same position would he have given Big/Bad Boy any grace?
