Wale poses some questions that I found myself answering out loud. People knew Pac was the from East Coast, so that wasn't breaking news when the beef started. Let's set the record straight it was Death Row vs. Bad Boy, the East vs. West was the media hype. And Pac wasn't even signed to Death Row he was still locked up. It was Suge calling out Puff at The Source Awards. So Pac had his own issues about being shot at the studio and Suge played on that and got him out of jail and signed him to Death Row. It was the perfect move.
During the days of Tupac, people got information by reading magazines and listening to the radio. All of the breaking news came via radio and usually a magazine like Vibe or The Source would do an in depth article in their next issue. I would say VIBE provided the best coverage during this time.
If twitter was around back in 95-96, Biggie would have sent Pac a direct message or texted him on his phone and they would have talked. It would have been over in a week I think, if not the day Pac got wheeled in the courtroom after being shot up the night before. And Pac didn't revolt against East Coast artists, they came at him first and he slayed them. He also never got a chance to build his empire the reason why he was killed, duh.
I still got love for Wale, he just needs a refresher course on his Tupac History, lol.
