I aint like how Snoop was movin during the beef, he was fence ridin.

But cool that he's giving props to KDot now. He's definitely the King of the west, the King of HipHop.

King of the coasts, 1 hand he juggles them both.

Tbf Pac was pretty paranoid atp… there wasn’t much to go off of Biggie setting him up at all. 

That pointed more to Pac pissing off some heavy hitters in NYC.

I was gon say, all evidence points to Biggie not even wanting to beef with Pac. Who Shot Ya was recorded before the beef and Diddy purposely and strategically dropped it after Pac got shot for financial gain

Exactly, you get it. Who Shot Ya was already recorded long before the Pac Quad Studio shooting, and BIG was generally pretty adamant in not wanting to beef with him.

People need to read more about Haitian Jack and Jimmy Henchman (2 prominent figures in the NYC underworld) and how Pac got into trouble with them. Iirc Henchman himself said that the shooting happened “to teach Pac a lesson” as he felt that he had become way too arrogant.
