Tupac When We Ride On Our Enemies Original Version
Tupac
Hit em up
Tupac - Against All Odds.. Before listening to this one though.. Nas and Tupac didn't really have beef, Pac thought Nas was going at him at the begining of 'The Message' when he was really going at Biggie (Nas's own words, I'm going to post an interview with him too).
----
Going back some years now, did you expect Pac to call you the ringleader on Makaveli?
Yeah, honestly, I didn’t expect no less at the time. Pac now is Black Jesus in a sense; Pac is Lennon; Pac is Marvin. So, hell yeah, I love the fact that he starts his album off and says that about me. Hell yeah. I loved him before he died. I loved him before he said anything.
Did Biggie ask you to team up against Tupac?
Yeah, he called me. He said, “Let’s get together.” He said that everyone was a little nervous about it, but he was calling me about getting busy.
Why did nothing happen?
Getting me and Big in the same room wasn’t easy. I had just dropped my record, and my schedule was crazy. Biggie was in Miami recording Life After Death. It was just timing. We were supposed to get together and talk more, so who knows what would have happened.
Well, you guys were taking shots at each other.
On a song I did on my second album, Tupac thought it was about him, but it was really toward Biggie.
“The Message”?
[Nods] From the first lines all the way to “One life, one love, there can only be one king.” That was specifically going in that direction. The whole fucking song, really. Tupac was not even on my radar for going at him.
Tupac thought it was about him because of that line, “I got stitched up and left the hospital that same night.”
Nah, this is Queensbridge activities I am rapping about. I’m with dudes who have bullets in them, who just left the hospital, [and] we ride around smoking weed. So this is in my raps. We were in New York going at it. We weren’t even thinking about no other place—Cali, Georgia, nothing.
I didn’t think you were going at Biggie.
He did.
What did he say to you about it?
“Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns.” [Laughs]

I couldn't find the full interview, it was in King magazine.

Biggie also went at Pac with your nobody after he died..
"I spit phrases that'll thrill you,
Your nodbody till somebody kills you"
There's a shitload of background info on the Tupac & Biggie beef, even a documentary I've watched and a bunch of other shit on the net, I can't be bothered collecting it all at the moment.
