henchmen had goons because he threw money around, suge had goons cuz of loyalty. Henchmen aint so tough without the dough.
Cmon now..
So far from reality. Nobody is as tough as when you have money to spend on a crew of course, but you're delusional
if you believe Jimmy wasnt so tough prior to moving up in the biz. His history as a criminal seem very legit. That's partly why 2pac was
hangin with them. Most of his money was going to lawyers & he needed money. Them nikkas had money they could
offer him even tho 2pac knew it wasnt "legal money". It was street money.
Thats also what got him robbed in the end tho.
And im not picking sides between Biggie & 2pac, idiots do goofy shyt like that. I respect them both cuz of their talents. Not all the added extra stuff tho.
But, think of yourself in that position. We talking serious street dudes. Even IF Biggie (& possibly even Puff) knew, he (or they) obviously would be too afraid to tell IN FULL DETAIL what was gonna go down, in fear of it getting back to the street dudes. Cats act all brave online but we all know the reality. People are afraid of telling the real at work/jobs, but now everybody acting super brave like they wouldnt be afraid if they thought something COULD harm their life/safety, even if by NON serious street dudes.
Im pretty sure thats what 2pac meant by sayin that Biggie wouldnt tell him the full scoop about who or what they were gonna do when he said to not hang with them. People forget that Biggie DID warn him, but probably on the low.
And according to Little Shawn Biggie ended up getting robbed just for that. Of course none of us know if it really happened or not, but seems plausible. 2pac felt he was owed more being that he helped put them on. But when you add fear & legit street dudes? Its different.
I think that was what 2pac was sayin by "Fear is stronger than love. All the love i gave meant nothing when it came to fear". Ironic, but profound. Both he & we are afraid of alot of shyt in life.
