Wack 100 is never afraid to speak his mind, even if it means ruffling feathers — and he unleashed another hot take recently, this time involving two of Hip Hop’s most cherished figures.
During a guest appearance on The Game‘s Drink Champs interview with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN, the veteran music manager — who reps Game along with Blueface and Ray J — claimed that 2Pac was a “legend” when he passed away in September 1996, but his bitter rival The Notorious B.I.G. — who was killed six months later — wasn’t.
“2Pac died a legend; Biggie didn’t,” Wack declared. “His body of work, movies, double CDs, albums that went quadruple [platinum]. Biggie was dead before his [second] album came out. He became [a legend after he passed away]. Over the years muthafuckas remade songs, movies — he became that.”
Wack 100 also challenged the notion that Nipsey Hussle was a legend when he was shot and killed in March 2019, arguing, “I’m saying [Nipsey] will become a legend. It still hasn’t happened. Movies gotta happen, shit gotta happen. He’s only been gone, what, two years?”
Wack’s comments echo those he made about the late Victory Lap rapper in November 2019. “The man died with a million followers. No radio hits. No platinum hits. No world tours,” he told TMZ.
“After he died, he went platinum, sold a bunch of records, followers went up nine, 10 million … Was he on his way? I think within time, yes he would have been. At the time of his demise … let’s keep it real. The truth can’t be defined as disrespect.”
The Game also weighed in on the 2Pac and Biggie debate by bringing Jesus (yes, Jesus) into the equation.
“Do we know how long Jesus was giving n-ggas the gospel before Judas ran him into the Romans and they killed him?” he pondered. “It might be a history lesson in that for all of us. Nip put his album out and then perished, but he was great to the people who knew he was great — but not to the world because n-ggas didn’t service his music while he was here like that.
“Same with Biggie. Biggie died before Life After Death came out; he was here for the first. So on the same accord, does anyone know was Jesus on his first album or his second album? … We need to figure that out and then let that be the ledger for what ‘legend’ is.”
Biggie Wanted Nas & Busta Rhymes To Help Him Lyrically Destroy 2Pac
Wack 100 wasn’t the only one firing off hot takes during the Drink Champs episode. The Game stirred the pot by claiming he’d smoke Eminem in a Verzuz and saying Kanye West “did more for me in the last two weeks than [Dr.] Dre did for me my whole career.”
Game’s latter remarks reignited his long-running back-and-forth with 50 Cent, who shared a screenshot of his former G-Unit signee’s comments on Twitter with the caption, “Hun, what happen here.”
The Game fired back by tweeting, “Last time you did this with me, G-Unit clothing got put in a casket with the entire group & you went into television. I like Power n shit … leave it alone. I’m back outside!”
Disagree…The Notorious is a legend and should be celebrated as such.
A legend for what?? Breaking the world records by eating donuts in short amount of time?? FOH!
I see Wack point wen he say Pac had a bigga body of work at da time of his death dan B.I.G did. On da utha syd ain’t no golden rule dat say how much an artist gotta put out b4 dey become a legend. King Tekashi in da same shoes. Only 1 album out but he hip-hop royalty. It’s always a loaded question wit it.
Did you just say Tekashi is hip hop royalty? Lmao! Stop it. That man is irrelevant. Some streaming farms, a paid gang membership, and trolling gave him some shine. That time has passed.
It is actually the opposite. 2pac died being a sellout to west coast after being with the east coast for years prior to his imprisonment and rapping generic west coast themes. Biggie died a legend staying true to himself and getting the same financial success he had without selling out to the masses. The masses discovered him without biggie pandering.
No, you’re wrong and running that dickhole you call a mouth as usual. 2Pac left a body of work that has easily surpassed the two albums Biggie leftover. Regardless of how YOU FEEL because you’re obviously a female stating her opinion… The distinction here is based off the body of work. They both left some quality music, only Pac left more.
2Pac focused on doing as many songs as possible without much focus on quality. That’s why you see so many posthumous albums. Biggie was known to be more perfectionist and thus far fewer songs went unreleased.
Once again you’re making things up based off your own opinion against 2Pac. They both had their own way of working in the studio towards the end of their lives. Stop hating and insinuating.
They both died legends. Let the dead rest in peace.
Note to self: skip every click bait with Wack 100 name in the title cuz everything he say is wack.
Wack spews a lot of BS, but there is truth to this. Pac was a star when he died while Big was really only well known in the hip hop world. “Legend” might be the wrong word to use because it is subjective. People may think Big died a “legend” even if he did not have as large a catalog. It’s prob more like he didn’t die a celebrity or superstar.
yeah this is what i have thought but it ain’t like who the fuck is b.i.g.. i was like 10 when they got hit. i think it got to do with media how the media teaches us how to view things.
Is Wack a legend? So much to say about other men. And people speak about the men Wack gossips about (Nipsey, Biggie, etc.) with a level of praise that nobody speaks about Wack 100 or any of his artists, except sometimes Game, with.
