This track was aimed directly at Biggie and BadBoy Records, he calls them out directly. Who shot ya was just a song that Big did that people assumed was directed at Pac and Biggie just ran with it because he was getting blamed for PACs shooting anyway(with good cause of suspicion on Pac’s side, too) This track put Big in hiding, literally. He had Biggie shook as fuck when this came out. It ended his marriage with Faith Hill, it exposed LiL’ Kim, it put Mobb Deep in the ground, you never heard a song from Lil’Cease again. This track demolished a whole record label.
I think Who Shot Ya was directed at Pac for not to look weak but I have always tought it's more literally like who shot ya, like meaning dude think a bit who really shot ya? Everybody was saying to Pac not to hang around certain people + it could have just been a random occurence. It would have been stupidest place to set him up, I don't think Pac would have been that hard to find in terms of doing it more discreet. Otherwise yes in the song/diss there is shooting bars but that's kinda to be expected, there also was kidnapping bars which never happened so I've always just took it as not extravaganza response to Pac for not to look weak but not to also outright say it's a diss exactly because he wasn't behind the shooting and could give wrong impressions.
@@connorfisher9029 yes 2pac was a intelligent dude that went to school he wasn't some dumb street cat😂 what were you trying to prove with this that he is smart anybody how listen to his interview knows he is smart
@@connorfisher9029 Did biggie ever shoot at 2 cops? No I don't think so, biggie was wannabe mafia guy, he was living in a middle class house, his mum was teacher unlike 2pacs mum which was crackhead and they constantly had to move house.
@@connorfisher9029 Dude, shut up and don't disgrace yourself anymore)) Pac is Pac! Ok, I can also say that if not for P. D. Biggie would be a drag dealer!
@xPositivityx your just like Stevie, uninformed and intellectually bankrupt with your analysis...First of ll who hot you wasn't a diss to Pac...Secondly a Lyrics means shit in diss tracks...a diss track is suppose to be disrespectful, factual and hurt...And even Puffy said that shit still hurts today...so please...easy with your misinformed opinions
@xPositivityx biggie was lyrically more capable than Pac, but why are u quoting the lyrics from who shot ya or bringing that song up at all. That track wasnt made to diss pac lol, had nothing to do with Pac. When biggie is talking about someones daughter in the song it should be clear to everyone. Pac didnt have no kids. Song was recorded way b4 pac got shot.
@xPositivityx bro the movie is far from the truth. Pac was dissing Biggie, because he was paranoid that biggie was the one who set him up, and after he heard who shot ya he was sure the track was made for him, so he recorded Hit Em Up. The movie is literally a movie, some truth but stretched. Biggie or Pac wont be able to tell their side of the story for those movies. Many people from back then have said theres alot of shit wrong with both biggies n pacs movies. Just like straight outta compton, is just cubes and dres side of the story and far from the truth in the end. Eazy never went broke, eazy never got beaten up by suge&death row, eazy was never blackmailed by Suge, all of this is confirmed by the people who were around back then, and head of death rows security and what not. They are literally just movies bro. Only 1 side of the stories, great as movies but still a stretch from what really happened back then.
Best diss track of all time, that reference about biggie running when he seen pack is apparently true when they met at the soul train awards and Pac shouted and chased them
"Who shot me but you punks didn't finish" that line alone rebuttal everything biggie said. Stevie this isn't about rap, this beef was actual beef and Pac killed Biggie with more disrespect and being more direct. When it comes to real beef the last thing you got to worry about is bars
@@dawnthirteenth Pac got killed first but his legacy lives to this day way more than Biggie . And Biggie did nothing more than sneak disses and hiding, Pac went straight for his throat. and Biggie couldn't even say that Who Shot Ya or Long Kiss Goodnight was targeted towards Pac . Plus Long Kiss Goodnight was made after Pac died and Lil Cease said it was targeted towards Pac after Biggie died . So Biggie did a bitch move . Plus Pac is the one that found Biggie and brought Biggie with him on tours and shows telling people that Biggie will be hot next thing . Pac like he said in Hit Em Up, he was begging girls to allow Biggie to sleep somewhere cuz he had nowhere to stay. Pac use to give some of his jewerly to Biggie . So Biggie knew that he couldn't go against Pac, that's why he sneak dissed him only. Pac helped Biggie alot to kickstart his career and Biggie had nothing on Pac . And another thing, why when Biggie and Pac both were alive, Pac sold double the material Biggie ever sold . Pac was the hottest thing back then and Biggie was still alive, why people never bought more Biggie Cd's cuz he was more lyrical. Because of songs like Dear Mama, Brenda's got a baby, Thugz Mansion, Changes, Pac spoke about real problems of humanity and was trying to unite people but he felt always betrayed by those close to him. Not even one Biggie song can go against Dear Mama or Changes, not even one.
"I don't even know why I'm on this track" isn't a cop out. He's saying that he's above this shit. He's so above it, he doesn't even know why he's there doing this.
Facts, biggie rapped a fake persona like he was john Gotti on some italian mafia shit, I'm not sayin he couldn't rap or anything like that pac was on another level
Yeah he looking at it wrong. Put some respect on Pac. Biggie couldn’t write PACs songs either..Pac songs are more relatable for me but both are Great in their own lanes.
everybody disagrees,'' who shot you'' weren't even aimed at pac loool, so it was just hit em up, so pac won and this clown is saying biggie destroyed him lool
2pac is for a reason regarded as one of the most iconic and influential rappers of all time. What he brought to hip hop was a level of rawness and a poetic drive in the way he delivered his words. I’m sorry but nobody’s on pac’s level, including biggie, periodt.
Long kiss goodnight is better than hit em up as a diss records but hit em up got much popular because #1 the Tupac and Faith pic, #2 timing, #3 the song was hard no cap, also I consider long kiss a great diss record but i consider it a low blow because it was after pacs death
@@migueloyordan1102 Thats cute and all but hit em up isnt even pacs best diss song. It was against all odds which was a diss documentary. Exposing everybody, of course pac dropped names because he wasnt afraid to talk about them... he went at nas, puffy, haitian jack, stretch, De La Soul... pac is a master!!!
exactly, this guy is a clown, who shot u was made before pac got shot .so it wasn't really a diss aimed at pac big diss pac after he died, this guy's a noob
Lol... "pac cant battle or diss rap?" Ummm... when we ride on our enemies, against all odds, bomb first... he has plenty of songs killing bad boy and biggie. "Who shot you" wasnt even close to diss not directed towards pac. The fact that you have to dissect a song in order to tell who they're talking about tells me the artist wasnt very good at or scared at making a track. There is no question about anyone Pac was talking about in any song! Lol
D12 has a diss track called quitter. Everlast diss. Wher he uses tubac “hit em up” beat and flow for 2 verses. Ane i think he has 5 verses total The track goes hard as f
Honestly that Eminem 8isn't nearly as good as the current. Don't think Stevie will be that impressed. Not Alike shits on that song and all his older diss tracks
dam Stevie you the best reactor, i like how you break shit down and you’re usually on point. i’ve never disagreeed with you like i do on this video, this was the most brutal dis track ever, pac murdered biggie on this, people dam near felt sorry for biggie after this came out, idk stevie what are you hearing
I been part of the family for while now, this was my first time to this reaction..I gotta say first time I see Stevie biased, m hurt😂😂… this joint was fire..I ain’t even heard the Biggie diss, for all I know he only responded on a freestyle when pac was dead. South Africa with love🇿🇦
@@justinisamusicaddict yeah im surprised. Pacs first verse destroyed BIG and it wasn't just word play . It was true , not just bars. How is the outlaws on the track a cop out ? Dudes where sick on this track.
@@justinisamusicaddict of course it does . My favorite rapppers/ rap groups are different than most though. I put dmx #1 for a solo artists and i was listening to Wu tang since i was 8 years old . So i have been conditioned to respond more to rap like that . Tupac had a presence that was bigger than bars to me .
Dude this was a damn next level diss. U sleeping on it bro. Not every line has to be heavy wordplay based, amazing punchlines can be said without that as well. And if we talking about lyricism then u missed the lil cease bar in this song, it was a triple "Lil' Caesar go ask your homie how I'll leave you cut your young ass up, leave you in pieces, now be deceased" Aside from this line being lil cease diss, it also a metaphor as little ceaser pizza is sliced and cutted till it ends, hence it deceases, AND also this line is a triple as it also references the death of julius ceaser, who was stabbed to death. On top of all this, "decased" is also a play on words of lil cease's name.
Disstracks and battle rap are two different things. They can overlap for sure. But a good disstrack doesn’t always need to be about metaphores and battle rap techniques. Those are extra but the major point is hitting hard.Talking your shit and burning down the other guy with facts, boasts and threats and do it so that people resonate with it. When it comes to that Pac absolutely smoked Biggie. He can’t rap with him on battle rap level, but this diss buried Biggie. This song is one of the most impactful disstracks in history
If he sees ur comment, he gon learn. Beef ain't bout barz, its bout hurting some1 puttin em in blast. No vasaline is the hardest beef song of all of em, but no very metaphor, simile or bar hard. Just straight disrespect. ✌🏿✌✌🏾✌🏻✌🏽✌🏼
This track didnt need to have crazy bars or word play. Pac just spat the truth about BIG and new york rappers and murdered them all with one swipe. Aint no diss track come close to this and its 2022 bro. Pac also had many other diss tracks that were hard tho. BIG for real had the flow and the wordplay on lock tho no cap. Love both these goats
Even if Stevie thought "Who shot ya" was a diss to Pac how can you say they are in the same category. BIG didn't even say the name Tupac in that song. Pac came for everyone he was associated with and named them. Need real knowledge to call yourself a hip hop head. Even if it was recorded with him in mind the biggest "Cop out" was BIG making sure to say it was recorded before Pac was shot.
Kurtis Vaughn This wasn't a battle of wits. This was real beef, Tupac wasn't making this song to prove he was better rapper. He had a message he wanted to deliver.
@@kurtisvaughn3892 have you listened to against all odds, like pac said "this ain't no freestyle battle" he didn't have to say the clever shit, cause he was just straight talking his shit and getting his point across
Hell no! Biggie got smoked in this beef. You tripping bro. This track is well known as the best dis track ever in hip hop. Pac has bars too if you go through his catalog. And a way better freestyler. Both good but only thing Biggie do better is the tongue twisters....raps faster is all imo
@@thephoenix756 lol. for sure. I dont think Stevie knows what a huge Stan he has become. I dont wanna say nothing to him cause i like Stevie but it's gotten bad brah
"Lil Ceaser go ask you homie how I leave ya,Cut you young ass up, Leave you in pieces,No be deceased' Get it....Lil Cease===De-Cease-ed Incredible puns from pac.Greatest diss track of all time
You do know Who shot ya wasnt a Pac diss right?? haha even the guy that produced it said it was recorded a year before, Biggie never put out a diss strictly towards Pac
That's funny how when it comes to Tupac he's poetic, but everybody else is lyrical. The fact is Pac is better lyrically than Biggie, because Tupac said some of the hardest and most amazing shit ever. Most of Biggie's ryhmes were single syllable and the metaphors weren't that clever but his flow was impeccable.
@@chantanelsmith5656 Put it like this... to further agree with yall... Biggie was the "R"hythm in R.A.P. and pac was the "P"oetry in R.A.P. Rhythm And Poetry... just by this alone... pac was the better rapper. People like Stevie needs to understand that there's different styles in rap just like there's different positions in basketball. Example: Jordan/ Bryant/ James are the goat but Curry shoot 5 times better. Irving dribbles 5 times better... Kareem rebound 10 times better.
Even P. Diddy has said in an interview that when this song came out it was so cold that he told Biggie that they couldn't respond to this song because somebody was gonna get hurt if they did, and he admits that this song still hurts to listen to it, that's how bad this song hit them, sorry but you're crazy if you think that Biggie won, I love Biggie's music they're both legends but 2pac won the beef
2pac was only supposed to have 1 verse but he heard Fatal go in and he came back with verse #2 . Also the audio taken out in the outro is Jay-Z name. Fatal talked him into taking it out
@@chubbychuckle Thats after pac died. Why couldnt he put out a diss while pac was alive?? Dude literally was scared to say "pac" on a sneak diss track.
@@kobejohnson1313 He was going to but Pac got himself killed before his album could drop. It was originally planned to come out Halloween 96 but it was pushed back. Some have said he took out a lot of disrespect lines since Pac wasn't alive. I get why people don't like it but people didn't respond to diss track the next week.
@@chubbychuckle Not buying it... Biggie literally had from 1994 to 1996 to make a diss song with pacs name in it while pac was alive but he didnt. You do realize that hit em up was just a ranting freestyle in the studio just to release anger right?? Pac never had the luxury of spending 2-3 years to perfect a song. Movies, prison, court cases, setups by cops, females, nggas etc took away from his studio time. And on top of that, biggies diss isnt even factual. Unlike pac's freestyle...
@@kobejohnson1313 Wrong, wrong and even more wrong. 1st off Hit Em Up was recorded in May of 1996. Big wasn't even really going to entertain the beef until Pac did that track and talk about Faith. Pac died in September, only a couple months after that song and back then that was no time at all in term of responding to a diss track. Nas took a year to respond to Jay Z's Takeover. The album was originally set for Halloween of thry year which was just over a month after Pac would die but it was pushed back for sample clearances. 2nd- How did Pac not have time to write a song when he made so much music from when he was released to when he died that he had 3-4 albums after his death? That doesn't make sense. 3rd- I understand why people don't like that BIG didn't respond while Pac was alive but from his perspective it's more than justified. I don't think he had anything to do with the NYC shooting but Pac blamed him more than those actually responsible. Who Shot Ya was already released before the shooting on tapes around NY so that's been debunked too. After Pac humiliated him why would BIG hold back or be a bigger man? At the end of the day believe what you will. Both are gone and I have love and respect for both. BIG deserved to respond no matter what problems Pac brought upon himself.
Get outta here Stevie!! Lol PAC killed him.....when I heard this I was grinding my teeth wanting to punch puppies in the face lol....pac just can make me feel the shit in my bones....love the reactions tho keep it up
Straight up his song made you want to smash the fk out of anything that walked past and to come at a whole city like that is ruthless there was no hidden messages he went for there throats
This is probably one the best-hardest hitting diss tracks ever. PAC was never known to be a lyricist , but his delivery/passion/and story telling is what made him a legend. At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what words you use, but how I feel about what you said.
its trash. he didnt say much in the first verse. and his d riding friends ruined the song with their trash rhymes and trash flow. this song is overrated simply because its pac
Battle rap and Dias tracks are in different lanes just under the same umbrella. When it came to pac and biggie, it was way deeper than the music, that's why pac talked a lot on the song. Pac killed this. The outro alone killed it
@@curtskywalker7441 bars, rhymes, the twist with hit 'em up and the fact that he rides so hard on everlast's heart problems makes it one of the hardest disses out there in my book
this is REAL BEEF shit, not a "battle" record. Pac was NOT trying to showcase his wordplay, or flex his pen. he wasn't trying to "outdo" Biggie on the lyrical level. his goal is to straight up DISRESPECT Biggie, and threaten Biggie with death. the level that Pac took this to--it was personal, it was street shit. this is a diss record in the realest sense of the word (dis-respect).
@Darrell Mills E 40 is better than Biggie?😂😂😂😂😂 im from the west coast, I.love 40 but come the fuck on. 40 isn't even near Big in terms of rapping and music
Bias and wrong as hell. He’s not even interpreting the lyrics right. First time I ever heard someone say Big washed Pac. Ever…and I’m NY born and raised.
@@TheKrs911 Pac washed biggie's whole crew, his lable, his wife, his mistress and anybody who fu*ked with big, it was a massacre, a blood bath and im a big fan
bro i totally disagree. it was all about what was being said, i remember back then when this shit went down they weren't measuring bars, they were measuring what was being said. Like he said "this ain't no freestyle battle" wasn't about that bro. Pac said very real stuff that hit hard, he wasn't trying to out rap biggie. respect to both i love em both but i disagree that biggie served him.
React to Tupac Against All Odds and that says everything right there. This was a real life beef NOT a rap battle. A rap battle and a diss track is two different things.
Hit'em up, Bomb first, and against all odds are some of the sickest diss tracks ever. Especially Against All Odds It was legendary and prophecy. Biggie's one and only true reprisal was Long kiss Goodnight and it was recorded after Pac's death which is cowardice but was very complex.
Biggie is a better lyrical Mc. But Tupac is everything he’s a full package. Revolutionary, one of the best lyricist, Best song maker , Pac touch a lot of subjects and can make you feel about it. and he’s the most influential rapper. But Biggie is better with his rhyme scheme , flow , storytelling.
Tupac was average lyrically, he just made up for that in other ways with his delivery and aggression. Biggie is just better though. Biggie is probably in my top 10, Tupac nowhere near.
This is one of the hardest diss tracks ever, and Biggie didn't have a diss track on this level. The Takeover and Ether are the only diss tracks that are even maybe competitive with Hit 'Em Up. I don't even know what lyrics you think you heard in Who Shot Ya, but as for the actual lyrics that Biggie really said in Who Shot Ya, they don't add-up to a diss track. "I seen the light excite all the freaks Stack mad chips, spread love with my peeps Niggas wanna creep, gotta watch my back Think the Cognac and indo sack make me slack?" Like... you hear this and you think you're actually listening to a dedicated diss track? And, if you do, you think it's better than Hit 'Em Up? You think these are disses that wash Hit 'Em Up? It's like you're listening to some imaginary song in your head instead of the actual song.
Bro this is your opinion but clearly you don't know diss track and battle rap not only did pac call them out by name his shot was facts 💯 biggie shit was hidden plus he did that song way before the beef do your homework homie
Stevie I usually love your reactions. A little disappointed here. Nothing hits harder in a real beef than going directly at the person. Pac was not about imaginary fiction just for the lyricism. This song made you FEEL the beef. That’s just poetry on a whole different emotional level. I appreciate the mastery of both skill sets. Pen and emotion. But this one here hands down to Pac. You can hear he just wants to kill. No style points, straight for the kill.
I honestly think making a diss track sound this good is worse than just rapping. Imagine Bad Boy hearing this shit everywhere they go. Puff even said DJ's played this track in clubs and they took their whole turntable cause they couldn't take it.
Einstein jr, you're absolutely right! It's an insult to compare Pac to Biggie. Smh. I lost a lot of respect for Stevie for talking down about Tupac like that. Dumb. Pac had balls and courage and was fighting for the rights of African Americans and human beings altogether, and what does Biggie rap about? Non sense and his lyrics are pretty dumb if you really break it down. Again, this song was not about Tupac and Stevie needs to stop with fake news shit! Biggie feared Tupac and did not make a diss track towards Tupac because he knows he'll embarrass himself. Period.
Tupac Can be Lyrical when He wants To , he just Wants his message Delivered . If you Want His Lyrical Side Listen To Street Fame , if I die 2nite they are lyrically criminal 🔥
