Lyrics & breakdown

I made a song about my enemies and niggas tripped
12It was hip-hop until 2Pac fucked Biggie bitch
13Y'all niggas hypocrites and bitch made
14Now either love me or hate me but real thug niggas get paid
Block noteMakes the confrontation explicit
TargetThe Notorious B.I.G.
MeaningWhat it means: In “It was hip-hop until 2Pac fucked Biggie bitch,” 2Pac addresses The Notorious B.I.G. directly and makes the situation described in the quoted line the point of confrontation. Why it was said: 2Pac responds to broadcaster Wendy Williams over a report about his imprisonment that he publicly rejected, while also extending his existing hostility toward The Notorious B.I.G. and Mobb Deep. Naming or plainly addressing The Notorious B.I.G. removes the safety of a subliminal and makes the quoted claim something the target can either answer or leave standing.

But then you picked a new direction, in the blink of an eye
42My time away just made perfection, did you think I'd die?
43I never got a single visit yet I carry on
44All my old friends too busy now my money gone
Block noteImagines the battle as physical destruction
TargetWendy Williams
MeaningWhat it means: In “My time away just made perfection, did you think I'd die?,” 2Pac converts lyrical defeat into death, shooting, burial, or bodily harm directed at Wendy Williams. Why it was said: 2Pac responds to broadcaster Wendy Williams over a report about his imprisonment that he publicly rejected, while also extending his existing hostility toward The Notorious B.I.G. and Mobb Deep. The violent image makes the response sound final: instead of proposing an endless exchange, the artist depicts Wendy Williams as unable to return for another round.

48On the next dick down your throat

[Ad-libs: 2Pac]
60I put Jenny Craig on your fat ass, you fat troll
61Anybody ever seen {Wendy Williams} fat ass?
62Why you always wearin' Spandex you fat bitch?
63I know your pussy stinks, you fat ho
Block noteTurns the target into a visual punchline
TargetWendy Williams
MeaningWhat it means: In “Anybody ever seen {Wendy Williams} fat ass?,” 2Pac reduces Wendy Williams to an exaggerated physical caricature instead of engaging the target's preferred public image. Why it was said: 2Pac responds to broadcaster Wendy Williams over a report about his imprisonment that he publicly rejected, while also extending his existing hostility toward The Notorious B.I.G. and Mobb Deep. A visual insult is easy for an audience to remember and repeat; the goal is to make ridicule of Wendy Williams travel beyond the song itself.

Thug Life, Outlaw, Westside bitch
69It's 2Pac so you know who said it
70And for everybody who didn't like what I said about that other trick
