Biggie did do a bid, that's documented facts. Biggie wasn't a gangster either, he was a local drug dealer but he wasn't no fukking major force in the streets. Biggie is what I would call your average hood nikka. Sold his little drugs, made his money, had a crew. But Biggie wasn't no shooter or nothing like that. Pac was a smart kid, my parents were friends with his Mom so I know he came from a solid home, but they didn't have much money. Neither of them were gangstas, but Biggie lived more of a street life before rap, where Pac was much more militant minded.
You cant claim a solid home when breh was literally on the run with his mom from the feds.
His mom also fell into crack.
One thing I can say though, is that his mom seemed like she tried her best, she had flaws, but tried her best.
