Snoop was big yes, but BIG was the shyt at the time.
And Pac was
also doing this inbetween declairing war on his enemies, while out on bail, being involed in gang politics fighting frequently while recording vulgar diss songs...
You also forgot to add in the middle of the east coast/west coast beef.

1. TUPAC & JOSHUAIn 1993, Tupac received a letter from the parents of a dying boy, named Joshua. They said it was Joshua’s last wish to meet Tupac. Tupac flew to Maryland to meet Joshua and took him to a basketball game. Soon after Joshua’s death Tupac renamed his publishing company from Ghetto Gospel Music to Joshua’s Dream.
2. TUPAC’S CELEBRITY YOUTH FOOTBALL LEAGUE Before his death, Tupac was in the works of developing a Celebrity Youth Football League. Each celebrity involved would sponsor a youth sports team, by buying uniforms and hiring a staff of coaches.
3. A PLACE CALLED HOME Tupac put together a benefit concert to help a growing non-profit organization, A Place Called Home, raise money for a new building. Founded in 1993, A Place Called Home is a safe haven in South Central LA where at risk youth are empowered to take ownership of the quality and direction of their lives through programs in education.
4. TUPAC’S SPECIAL BBQ Through his bodyguard, Tupac heard about a 14-year old girl who was paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair after a terrible car accident. Tupac called the Make-A-Wish Foundation to inquire about this little girl. During the phone call, Pac learned the girl was scheduled to meet her celebrity idol, but the celebrity canceled just before the meeting date. Tupac stepped in and flew the girl and her aunt to California to join him on the set of “Gridlock’d.” Afterwards he took them to the recording studio and later hosted a private BBQ cookout at his house in honor of her. Tupac later donated a brand new audio system to her school.
5. TUPAC GOES TO THE PROM A Tupac fan wrote a letter to his fan club, asking the late rapper to be her prom date. About a month later, Tupac showed up at her doorstep. He came inside the home and talked to her family and offered to purchase her prom dress & escort her to the dance. Before leaving her home, Tupac gave the family $1500. When her prom day came, Tupac arrived in a limo to pick up his fan. At the school function Tupac signed autographs, took photos, and even got on the dance floor with her for five songs before he left.
7. TUPAC STARTS PETITION TO KEEP COMMUNITY CENTER OPENIn his early teens, Tupac solicited people to sign a petition to keep a community recreation center open. After accumulating a significant number of signatures the building was torn down anyway in spite of his efforts. This experience helped cultivate Tupac’s vision for a center that would provide a positive environment where young people could learn skills and performing arts. He wanted to call the center Thug Mansion. After his early death, his mother maintained the vision by opening the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation in Stone Mountain, Georgia.
8. PUSHED UNITY BEYOND SO-CALLED EAST COAST/WEST COAST BEEFTupac was often accused of instigating war between coasts, but there’s plenty evidence to the contrary. In 1996, Pac invited the Boot Camp Clik, the Brooklyn Hip-Hop collective, to record The One Nation album at his summer mansion. The album has never been released, but the effort was definitely there before his death. Furthermore, Pac had rock solid relationships with East Coast folks like Busta Rhymes and Treach from Naughty By Nature. Not exactly philanthropy, but definitely for the greater good.
You can check out the site for the rest...
was CIA protected at this point...he is allowed to operate with immunity and is seemingly "untouchable"
...well never know but imo its safe to say word got back to the point Orlando got pointed out and approached by Pac and asked what set he was from,as that was the set that had the hit out on em
...as well as Pac eludes to it on Against All Odds about Puffs involvement in something but not Biggie at all as if Puff is involved in some new sneaky shyt
...I wouldn't be surprised if it started out as a chain bounty and the crips came back to Puffy looking for another cash grab and offered up they services for a hit. Just think about how easy it would be to make Puff bite
...all they gotta do is tell Puff "word on the streets is Pac and Suge got a hit on you,we can get them first but its gon cost you
.....I think it coulda all ended that night at the Soul Train Awards if pac and big had talked but shyt got off to a bad start a lot like that Nas confrontation
