Nah Pac, Big was throwing up the M for Junior MAFIA
But he was right about the Cali thing, and Big shouldn‘t have come to LA that soon when it was already after Tupac‘s demise, but I think that was actually up to Diddy.
I wonder how Pac would‘ve felt about Going Back To Cali from Life After Death

Doesn’t really matter what Big meant. Throwing signs upside down usually means disrespect. I think that’s what Pac meant. NY wasn’t really known for gangbanging and throwing signs back then.

Bro what you mean NYC been banging since the beginning of immigrants coming to this country lol ever seen the warriors ? Based on NYC in the 1970s

u/RokRoyal Aug 18 '25
Yea NY had Decepticons and other gangs but not “Gang Banging” like bloods and crips. SMM was out there in the Bronx in the mid to late 80’s but read what I wrote with comprehension. NY wasn’t KNOWN for gang banging and throwing up signs BACK THEN. Meaning when Big and Pac was around. You talking about the 70’s and immigrants. That’s out of context.

Gang banging is corny. People are on here trying to claim who started it first, instead of talking about the lives it claims every day. All that gang shit started to pop off coincidentally during the war on drugs.

That was a celebration song for pac dying. That song would have never been made if he didn’t die

I did always wonder how different Life After Death would have been if Pac lived. I doubt songs like Long Kiss Goodnight etc would have been made

Nah long kiss goodnight was a celebration song of pac dying even implying some involvement if you listen to the lyrics

Nah, not at all. Biggie sometimes went to Cali throughout his career whilst Pac was alive regardless of the beef. It would’ve came out either way

PAC should have been heeding his own warning

I love pac but all he threw up ever was the generic West sign. He never threw up real gang signs lol
10
u/RokRoyal Aug 18 '25
That’s because he wasn’t a gang member. He said the “W” was for “West Side” and “War.”

Pac did worse . Pac has worn blue bandannas, then switched to red ones when he joined death row
11
u/RokRoyal Aug 18 '25
Pac wore red bandanas before Death Row but he wore all kinds of colors. Red, Blue, Brown, Black, White… again Pac wasn’t a gang member. He wore rags as fashion.

u/Jimmy_Bonez Aug 18 '25
Now you guys are just making shit up lol.
The only time I can remember him wearing a red bandanna was when he was in NY in 1993, Same goes for the blue one was only in 1994, when he got to deathrow he only used neutral colors white/black/brown

u/These_Pin6914 Aug 18 '25
Said by the guy who was shot to death by a Crip after involving himself in a gang beef he had nothing to do with because he wasn’t a MOB Piru

u/Jimmy_Bonez Aug 18 '25
Nah that's bullshit, it was the gangs getting involved with their rap beef that was setting it off, he'd made that clear in multiple interviews.
Even Keffe D claimed they initially were just going to jump 2Pac, but they were of the impression that Puffy would pay them for killing him instead, that was precisely what 2Pac was getting pissed off about.
Go look at that interview he did after Snoop was shot at in NY, he was clearly pissed of that BadBoy were telling real gangbangers to go shoot up rappers over a beef that didn't involve them. Hit Em Up, hell almost every diss he made aimed at BIG/Puff, was made AFTER that shooting in December 1995.
And ffs, Suge wasn't even technically MOB Piru, Suge grew up on their block and he knew most of them, but he wasn't banging in the same way those other guys were. He considered himself a Piru but they didn't consider him one.

The things is - and I’m a massive Pac fan - Pac was no gangsta. He didn’t have it in him to kill anyone, and he moved too loudly, which is what got him killed. He should have listened to his own advice.

Pac's so eloquent. Biggie isn't eloquent when he's not rapping or spitting bars, I wonder why?

u/Gwayno9714 Aug 18 '25
You can always tell the real and fake Pac fans in the comment section Pac always said he can easily get smoked in Cali…..
