This, to me, says a lot about Snoop in 1996-1997. Before Suge went to prison, Death Row was at the top of the rap game and Snoop was saying "Death Row For Life" (Wanted: Dead or Alive, Street Life, C-Walkin', etc) but as soon as 'Pac dies and Suge is in prison, Snoop starts crying about not getting paid and this was after Suge PAID for Snoop defence for murder. I know that crips are not affiliated but there were rumors that Snoop and Kurupt were with Puffy at a basketball match not long after 'Pac dying and apparently, Keefe D was with Puffy. Remember, ALL the rumors of Suge killing 'Pac came from Snoop around '97 and aside from Dre leaving Death Row, Snoop started the rumors about Suge not paying his artists. And how many times has Snoop been seen with Puffy? Basically, Snoop influenced the rap game to blackball Suge and take the shine away from 'Pac because of jealousy.
That is interesting
....Also maybe gives insight as to why Snoop didn't want to get involved with the Badboy vs Deathrow shyt,he knew crip nikkas was getting paid off Badboy.....Even after Biggie got his trailer shot up talking shyt,Snoop didn't want to get involved,maybe it would've been considered fukkin with the crip homies money or something.
All those crips on Deathrow its likely Suge and Pac would've known about the hit as well if there was one.
I actually hate to agree with @kingofnyc
..But theres only so much you can find credible when it comes to info that comes by way of snitching,when somebody is fighting for they life....Especially when the person telling knows what you wanna hear,and detective Kading was asking a lot of leading questions
The 1million dollar part sounds kindve funny,first Keefe says "we wanted a million" then he says Puffy randomly came up with a million dollar price tag,also first Keefe says the hit was for "either one" but then that turns into both somehow....Then he says he doesn't even collect
.
I do believe Puff paid for something,but why even bother to do a 5K bounty on chains if you willing to put a million dollar hit on nikkas?
the Pac line "Puffy getting robbed like a bytch,to hide the fact he did some shyt he shouldna did" always made me wonder was Pac talkin bout the NY shyt still?or was he talking about Puffy getting extorted by crips to hide this chain bounty,or discussion of a hit in front of a room full of people
Also was Orlando the shooter or the Dre dude he leaned over?its a lot easier to put all the blame on a dead man who cant be prosecuted if you don't really wanna snitch on your homie....Cant be completely sure if the people responsible have been dealt with by law or fate or w/e....It was a bad situation,a lot of young,rich,powerful black males caught up in a lot of bullshyt that really shouldn't have a place in the business side of the rap game but almost always has
.
Suge actually came outta this looking better,just on the fact at least people hopefully wont think he killed Pac AND Biggie,and lowkey Puffy might've been the one who was supposed to get it that night if he hadn't ran that light....Puff is just one lucky nikka,people can stop talking about how Suge is the idiot who threw it all away now....Puffy just as easily could've been in jail 2 decades ago and lost everything.
Another great hiphop movie to end off the summer
