^^ GREAT READ , read all 3 parts!!

The awards themselves were an absolute catastrophe. Bernie Mac was the host – why, I have no idea. He was a disaster. Either he couldn’t see his cue cards or he couldn’t read at all. The show moved along in fits and starts and the natives – the thousands of fans who bought tickets for the event — began to get restless. We thought there would be a riot during one of the show’s many lulls. The highlight of the night was when A Tribe Called Quest came out on stage. They were either going to perform or present an award, I can’t remember which, but as soon as Q-Tip opened his mouth to do what they were going to do – a music cue blasted through the speakers and Tupac and his crew rushed on stage and began performing. Everyone was stunned, was it a mistake or was it on purpose? And as soon as ‘Pac finished his song, he screamed, “Fuck y’all!” to the audience, slammed the mic to the ground and vanished backstage just as quickly as he appeared. Everyone had the same thought: did Tupac just dis Quest? Next thing you know all these Zulu Nation cats are on stage and one dude is threatening ‘Pac, for disrespecting their Zulu comrades. I started looking for the emergency exit. I was like, yeah — now this is The Source Awards!

if you read the whole thing , I think you'll understand why 'Pac was so mad that day ... and why he screamed "fuck all you white people"

even the people of A Tribe Called Quest didn't understand it , they thought 'Pac was dissing them!

And speaking of Source Awards, here’s something that you might find interesting. Did you ever wonder why Suge called out Puffy during the 1995 broadcast? Well a couple of Source staffers were hanging out at the venue during the rehearsals when Biggie and later Suge happened to wander by. Biggie began to voice his displeasure about being on Bad Boy and was talking about possibly making a change. Suge told him that he would be happy to have him at Death Row and that they should talk about how they could make that happen. And that’s how the whole mess started.”

I find that kind of odd... if Suge was siding with Pac while he was in jail (already knowing about the details of his shooting), why would Suge want to have Biggie on Death Row? (Money, of course, but it just doesn't seem logical.)

Is this for real? I always heard that BIG and puffy were always fightin and BIG Wasn't happy but I never thought he would come to Deathrow.

It doesn't say that in the article. Why did you add that in?

 

[RidinOutDaStorm]

Is there a video of the awards floating around anywhere? I'd like to see Pac slam down the mic on stage.

 

[Krysis]

Biggie did consider joining Deathrow, listen to his Westcoast Freestyle, that wasnt made as diss towards the Westcoast, it was a demo tape for all the West (and Suge) to hear that Biggie could ryhme on some Westcoast type shit, and it is a very potent and awesome freestyle by the way.

this article is a good piece of history for those who hadn't realized what a dick benzino is. he's the reason i haven't picked up a source magazine since the 90's.

It's on the first Source Awards DVD. Pick it up, it's good.
