On the most recent episode of DJ Whoo Kid’s “Whoo’s House” podcast, West Coast rap legend Ice Cube talked about the evolution of his BIG3 basketball league as well as the growth of the career of the rapper/actor. Cube also spoke about a list of the “most unforgettable diss tracks in Hip Hop history”, in which Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” took the pole position and his epic “No Vaseline” track aimed at N.W.A. was placed at a modest third.

Cube reaction to ‘Pac beating him on the list? “How’s 2Pac number one when he needed help on that record?” before saying, “Me, ‘No Vaseline,’ one MC.” When Nas’ “Ether trck was mentioned, Cube said, “I love Nas but it’s not. Took out four n***as and the manager. I mean, damn! Got to give me credit for that.” He added, “[The] group was over. I don’t know if they made another record after that. So, nah man. Sorry!”

[WATCH] Outlaw Napoleon Says Snoop’s “Hit ‘Em Up” Comments Were Because He Was Upset ‘Pac Took His Shine

Screen Shot 2023 04 18 at 4.53.49 PM

Napoleon of Tha Outlawz has commented on Snoop Dogg saying he didn’t like the late Tupac Shakur’s landmark diss record “Hit ‘Em Up”, which was aimed at his friend-turned-nemesis Notorious B.I.G.

Napoleon said Snoop never expressed that sentiment before now, adding, “For Snoop to say he never liked ‘Hit Em Up,’ he never expressed that. You got videos of him on stage with ‘Pac, Pac rapping ‘Hit Em Up’ and he’s rapping right along with him.”

He went on to say that Snoop was even singing the lyrics with him while at the House of Blue performance and bobbing his head in the studio.He says it’s strange that Snoop would say all of these things that he’s never say if’Pac was alive.

[WATCH] Lil Cease: Biggie Was Not Going To Put Effort Into a Song Dissing 2Pac

In an exclusive interview with The Art of Dialogue, Junior Mafia member Lil Cease talked about rumors that the late Notorious B.I.G. intended to drop a diss track aimed at his friend-turned-nemesis Tupac Shakur during the East Coast/West Coast beef in the mid-90s. Cease says that Biggie never wanted to give much energy to the verbal sparring between hi m and ‘Pac, but he contends that he did want his fans to know he was aware of the shots being thrown at him.

“Big wasn’t gon put forth a full effort into a whole full song dissing 2Pac…Big was kinda more like just sprinkling on it,” Lil Cease said. “On the Jay-Z Record: ‘Faith had twins, she probably had two Pacs. Get it?’ He was kinda like, ‘Yeah I’m letting you know I’m aware of it, but I’ma have fun with it and I’m not gonna say too much,’ ’cause Big didn’t really want to make it that. He didn’t want to add to much fuel to it…That wasn’t Big’s energy but he would definitely tap into some lines sometimes just to let him know, I hear you. And if it comes down to just a rap battle and things like that, Big was all up for that.”

Cease-A-Leo contends that Big never made a diss track towards Tupac, but admits that he did mention ‘Pac in the song “The Ugliest” when the host of The Art Of Dialogue mentioned it as a diss record aimed at the famed Black Panther Party heir. Big tried to recruit Nas for the song, who never laid a verse. Busta Rhymes did appear on the track but left the song off his album because of Biggie’s subliminal shots at 2Pac.
