Wait …. What was Tupac’s connection to this guy and what happened
He couldn’t use his name because biggy smallz was already trademark by a Caucasian rapper from the west coast who ironically had ties to Pac - The record label gave him the name notorious BIG
how in da hell would he be inspired by a rapper he probably never heard of
Biggie stole his name and song Juicy from this rapper?
- Thread starter D.C Young
- Start date
They’re not ready to talk about a real GOAT here
Probably a reference track?
I had that album
(Mom worked at the newspaper and the music guy would give her tapes and CDs he was given to review from labels.)
Dunno how Puff or the producers got their hands on this but it's a clear reference track
Yeah me and my potnahz fukked with his first album back in the early 90s. That Jim Jones Posse song banged
The south got sumn to say
Toe Jay Simpson
Searchin’
I know Pac shouts him out on a track, can’t remember which one it is…they might have even put it on the Resurrection Soundtrack because at the beginning he goes “rest in peace my nikka biggy smallz”.
Lol that Biggie Smalls that Pac gave a shout out to is Big Dric aka Biggie Smalls that was down with the Live Squad. He didn't rap he did graffitti

Johnny j produced the white biggy smalls first single but it's not known that 2pac had any connection other than also working with JJ
