Biggie DIDN'T ride for 2Pac, and that was ALWAYS 2Pac's issue with Biggie...2Pac said it in MULTIPLE interviews...When some Wu Tang boys got robbed out West, 2Pac made sure the issue was dealt with, because 2Pac felt responsible, since the Wu boys were with him...
If you went to visit a girl in her neighbourhood, and people came in her apartment and robbed you while you were lacking after a great nut, BE REAL, you will think that shorty had something to do with it...
And that suspicion will be INCREASED, if you were to discover that shorty and the robbers had close associations...
When the Twin Towers came down, all the governments in the world were calling the USA to let them now that they were ready to ride, whatever the USA needed, they would help whatever they way they could...
Basically, everybody picked a side and the battle lines were drown...And any country that did not join the USA was quickly marginalized, and considered untrustworthy...
This behaviour is BIGGER than hip hop and 2Pac vs Biggie...
If you had two good friends, friend A and fried B, and you discovered that friend B was banging your wife behind your back, you would expect friend A to have your back and make it clear to you that they were ready for whatever...
If friend A acted neutral, I don't think most people would accept that...Most people would stop fcuking with both friend A and B..Even if Friend A claims to be innocent...
At that time that's not what you need from them, you need them to convince you that they are on your side no matter what...7
That's just how I look at it...There is NO middle ground...You either with me or not...But I also know to accept somebody from the suburb to cross the line for me...
2Pac was crazy to believe that Biggie was about that action...
