“Ceez is, like, ‘Fuck you, nigga! East Coast, muthafucka!’ Pac is, like, ‘We on the West Side now, we gonna handle this shit.’ Then his niggas start formulating and my niggas start formulating-somebody pulled a gun, muthafuckas start screaming, ‘He got a gun, he got a gun!’ We’re, like, ‘We’re in L.A. “The nigga Ceez-pissy drunk-is up in the joint, like, ‘Fuck you!’” Big recalls. That’s when Big’s ace, Little Caesar of Junior M.A.F.I.A., stepped up. He had his little goons with him, and Suge was with him and they was like, li, ‘We gonna settle this now.’” Duke came out the window fatigued out, screaming ‘West Side! Outlaws!’ I was, like, ‘That’s Bishop !’ Whatever he’s doing right now, that’s the role he’s playing. I felt the darkness when he rolled up that night. I can’t knock them dudes for the way they go about their biz. “Nah, Pac didn’t pull steel on me,” says Big. The following week’s Hollywood Reporter quoted an unnamed source saying that Shakur waved a pistol at Biggie. “I looked into his eyes and I was like, Yo, this nigga is really buggin’ the fuck out.” “That was the first time I really looked into his face,” says Big. But the real drama came after the show, when Tupac and Biggie came face-to-face for the first time since Pac’s shooting more than two years before. When Biggie accepted his award and bigged-up Brooklyn, the crowd hissed. What was still mostly talk and propaganda took a turn for the ugly at the Soul Train Awards this past March. If honey was to give you that pussy, why would you disrespect her like that? If you had beef with me, you’re like, ‘Boom, I’ma fuck his wife,’ would you be so harsh on her? Like you got beef with her? That shit doesn’t make sense. “Never once did he say that Fay did some foul shit to him. “if the muthafucka really did fuck Fay, that’s foul how he’s just blowin’ her like that,” he says. When talk turns to his estranged wife, Biggie shrugs his shoulders and pulls on a blunt. Meanwhile, Tupac kept rumors about himself and Faith alive with vague comments in interviews like “You know I don’t kiss and tell.” But in “Hit Em Up,” released this May, he does just that, telling Biggie, “You claim to be a player, but I fucked your wife.” (Faith, for her part, denies ever sleeping with Tupac.) Death Row now denies that such an ad ever existed. Death Row allegedly printed up a magazine ad featuring Misa and Suge holding Puffy’s two-year-old son, with a caption reading “The East Coast can’t even take care of their own.” The ad-which was discussed on New York’s Hot 97 by resident gossip Wendy Williams-never ran anywhere, but reps were tarnished nonetheless. The latest story was that Tupac was boning Biggie’s wife, Faith Evans, and Suge was getting with Puffy’s ex, Misa Hylton. That video featured stand-ins for Tha Dogg Pound’s Daz and Kurupt being kidnapped, tortured, and tossed off the 59 th Street Bridge.īy this time, the rumor mill had kicked into overdrive. Then came “LA, La,” an answer record from New York MC’s Tragedy, Capone, Noreaga, and Mobb Deep. No one was hurt, but the message was clear. In Red Hook, Brooklyn, shots were fired at the trailer where Death Row artist Tha Dogg Pound were making a video for “New York, New York”-which features Godzilla-size West Coasters stomping on the Big Apple. `On December 16, 1995, it became apparent that the trouble was spilling into the streets. When the conference came and Puffy did not attend, Billboard reported that it was due to threats from Death Row. Puffy was said to be bringing a massive of New York drug lords and thugs. Suge, who has never concealed his past affiliations with L.A’s notorious Bloods, was rumored to be coming with an army. Less than two weeks later, when it came time for the “How Can I Be Down?” rap conference in Miami, the heat was on.
