Hip-hop heads, did you know that Tupac thought Nas was dissing on him “The Message” off It Was Written which led him to start a beef with the Queensbridge rapper?

When Pac first heard the track, he thought the opening lines – “Fake thug, no love; you get the slug CB4 Gusto” – were aimed at him and he decided to retaliate on “Against All Odds” with the lines – “This little nigga named Nas thinks he live like me / talkin bout he left the hospital took five like me / you living fantasies, nigga I reject your deposit.”







Little did Pac know, “The Message” was actually aimed at other New York rappers, specifically The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z. Thankfully, Nas and Pac got to meet one another to clear any misunderstanding and squash their beef before Pac passed away.
