Biggie Smalls was very jealous of Tupac Shakur, 2pac helped him get his start in the rap game, Tupac was a very nice and lovijng person, 2pac was not only a superstar, he was a poet, a lyricist, a actor, a great humanitarian, a man of God, and this person Biggie was angry over 2pac's success so Biggie staged a asault on Tupac Biggie and P Diddy, set him up, and they're boy's shot Tupac 5x, however, they underestimated Tupac, Pac lived through that horrible experience, so when Pac was killed in Sept. 1996, (and keep in mind 2pac was and will always be Cali's Golden Boy) Biggie came to Cali. (not a very wise desicion on his part) it had only been like 6 or 7 months since the Shakur killing, and Cali. wasn't ready to see a man who had previously threatend our Pac, so yes, he was killed in California, he should have stayed in N.Y.
