Pac Lied and Biggie Died: 2Pac’s Own Words Tell a Different Story About the Quad Studio Shooting. Funkmaster Flex spent years saying 2Pac lied about the 1994 Quad Studios shooting — that he panicked, shot himself, and that the lie put a target on Biggie’s back until his death. In one of his most emotional rants, Flex claimed 2Pac was too scared to come to New York and that Biggie wouldn’t have died if Pac had told the truth. But in 1996, while he was still alive, 2Pac sat with Sway and answered that exact energy. He named Flex directly. Pac said he was locked up in New York listening to Hot 97, hearing Flex and others clown the West Coast on the radio. He talked about doing Saturday Night Live live in New York, going to clubs with his Westside people, and moving with no problems. He made it clear he wasn’t afraid of New York — he was angry at what he was hearing while he was locked up. The people who were around 2Pac didn’t stay quiet either. When Flex kept bringing it up years later, Spice 1 said he had no choice but to speak up. He told Flex both men are gone, leave it alone, and stop opening old wounds for views. Then there’s Stretch. In the footage, Stretch says the first shot was Pac shooting himself — that he “made a mistake on his own” and “did something to himself.” You can hear the tone. It’s not a neutral statement. There’s weight and disdain for Pac in how Stretch speaks in the audio. On the other side, people who saw Pac’s wounds after the shooting pushed back hard. EDI Mean of the Outlawz said the bullet trajectory makes the self-inflicted claim nearly impossible — you’d have to turn the gun around and prop it in a way that doesn’t match what he actually saw heal. Pac’s side of the story from that Sway interview is raw and uncensored. He talks about Biggie not coming to see him in jail, Stretch going on tour with BIG, and hearing from strangers on the inside that someone connected to Biggie was bragging about shooting him, and feeling like the people he had helped were moving on without him. He says he knew what happened and he wasn’t going to let it go. 2Pac, Biggie, and Stretch are all gone now. All three of them died within roughly a year of each other. The claims, the interviews, and the reactions from people who were close to them are what’s left. This isn’t a closed case. Flex’s version, Pac’s words while he was alive, Stretch’s claim, and the people who defended Pac all sit in the same conversation. Dexter Isaac, King Tut, and Jimmy Henchmen eventually admitted to their involvement in the Quad Studio shooting of 2Pac. But Pac already knew that. So he got his money right and prepared for war against those who did him wrong.

Acuff can play but my gawd is he inefficient. 33 points on 26 shots?!? Somebody has to reel that kid in a bit.
