    Snoop and Biggie hung out prior to Pac and Biggie situation. When Snoop and Dogg Pound were filming for 'New York, New York' video Snoop never said Biggie's people shot at them specifically, or that Biggie was resposnsible in any interview ever. Who knows who was responsible? After the shooting the video showed Snoop kicking down NY buildings, it was originaly paying homage to NY using the Grandster Flash and Furious Five hook.
    Snoop in interview has said he has spent time with Biggie in studio.


    Karupt explains whole situation here:
    Even though Tha Dogg Pound’s “New York, New York” was viewed by many Rap fans as a diss of New York, Kurupt says that the 1995 song started out as a tribute to the birthplace of Hip Hop culture.

    “It wasn’t even going after New York,” Kurupt says during an interview with xxlmag.com. “It wasn’t a diss record. It really wasn’t. ‘New York, New York’ was a record that we made in dedication to New York. We really felt that New York created Hip Hop. New York created battle rap and the whole ball of wax so what I did was a battle rap on this beat DJ Pooh did.”

    The song almost didn’t come to fruition, though, Kurupt says to xxlmag.com, because DJ Pooh had given the instrumental to The Notorious B.I.G. for a St. Ides commercial. But since the music was only used for a commercial, Tha Dogg Pound made the song nonetheless.

    “Snoop [Dogg] came in the studio when I was laying my second verse,” Kurupt says to xxlmag.com. “I laid the first verse in one day and then the next day I laid the second verse. And then when I laid the second verse Snoop came through and he came in and he just got finished listening to Melle Mel, Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five. He came in saying ‘New York, New York. Big city of dreams and everything in New York ain’t always what it seems. You might get fooled when you come from out of town but I’m down by law and know my way around.’ He was singing the Melle Mel chorus [from Grand Master Flash & The Furious Five’s ‘New York New York’]. He was singing the chorus and we was like, ‘That’s ? ’s perfect. It fits perfect.’”

    It was during the so-called East Coast-West Coast rivalry when Tha Dogg Pound went to New York to film the video for “New York, New York.” Snow was falling and the crew was filmed having fun.

    “We wanted Nas and everybody from New York to be in the video,” Kurupt says. “It was a dedication to New York, but then we got shot at it while we were shooting it. New York felt we were disrespecting them. [Laughs] The New Yorkers wasn’t going for it. They was like, ‘Oh, no. You ain’t gonna shoot this ? out here dissing us.’ They shot at us the next day, so I mean after they shot at us, we went back home and Snoop was like, ‘Man, ? that.’ Then we shot the other part of the video where we started kicking everything the ? over. That’s why we started kicking things over because we got shot at it.”

    I think one of the things that makes 2Pacs pics interesting is that he had a wide and extensive range of friends in music and in life, more than in anyone in Hip Hop history in the short amount of time that he was here.

    @Kalecrunch

    Umm..i dont know what to say. The fact that u actually believe that, based on pictures, & think it makes sense to what i was refering to..i dont know. Nothing to debate about. I guess Jay-Z has more friends than 2pac did too then, cuz he has pictures with alot of celebs too, no? Or nah? SMH @ this logic. Or what about Snoop? I also dont get why having industry friends makes u special..like wtf..but aight.

    Those weren't real friends. That's the mistake he made, he thought just because they met at a party and took a few pictures that he could trust them and consider them "friends" and look what happenned.

    Yeah you are misrepresenting what I said.
    Also on the logic about Jay Z.
    Its notable and apparent that by the time Tupac was 25 when he died in 96 he has more friends and aquantances than anynone in the history of Hip Hop by the time they were 25. ( More than Jay Z and Snoop at 25 also)
    For a artist to be held in such high regard by that age, by that vast array of people is unparalled to anyone else in history of rap.
    Someone else mentioned 'just by looking at the pictures you can tell he was ln another level' ,
    as for myself I can tell Pac is on another level because of his music alone.

    However if a person who never heard a 2pac song looked at these photos in this thread, they prolly would feel he might be sorta of a big deal because of the vast array of people in the photos compared to everyone else.

    Its definately not illogical to think Pac is on 'another level' or more 'special'
    compared to others when looking at all the photos.
