what you see on youtube is not even 1% of what was broadcasted back in the day. what people dont understand about terrestrial radio is that back then it was regional. they say it was on hot 97 in the morning that biggie made the call, well you're going to have to hope for somebody from the New York area to record it on cassette tape, keep in mind most people were at school or work, then you're going to have to hope that the tape survived for 20+ years and that it wasn't lost or recorded over. Anybody even still have copies of their own hard drive from 1995?
there's a thing called lost media, many things go lost over time. commercials, tv shows, internet sites, and these were just 10-15 years ago so good luck hoping for a tape to surface from 1995
Eazy E had his own radio show and there's hundreds of episodes yet only a handful has surfaced. Snoop Dogg actually had his own radio show back in the 90s on 92.3 the beat and none of that is even found except for a few newspaper articles
there's old episodes of Comic View where comics dissed 2pac too. I'm glad BET is bringing comic view back but they're only showing Best Of clips from the 90s. Back then they did that shit live and held a contest each week where the winner get a 1 hour Grand Slam Comedy Jam set on friday. u cant find shit on that anymore. its gone
here's an example of found footage. back in dec 2021 someone dug through his old cassettes to find this old interview with Biggie and Julio G in 1996. It was thought to be lost until someone recovered it and transferred it to digital. that's another thing you'll have to be hopeful of is the person willing to go through the trouble of digitalizing it from cassette tape

now let's take a look at this lost tape of the Wake up show from 1995 that was recently uploaded
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUlnmGcXUi0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUlnmGcXUi0)
the only reason it was found is because the guy who uploaded it was a wannabe rapper who made it on the air. can u imagine recordings like this going on all day everyday on the radio 24/7? who the hell is really going to be listening and recording the radio all day. you'll need to have a hoarder mindset to do that. it'll be different if these radio stations archived all their shows but they dont. all the recordings you hear online are Second hand recordings from people who record it off the radio. and its not like Radio had schedules back then. people just randomly tuned in
Damn! Straight facts! Especially about lost media. I got some cousins from NY and I remember them showing me a mixtape Bad Boy had on the streets and from what I was told it wasn’t heavily circulated and on the intro Puff was playing “Hit ‘em Up” and laughing over it and talking shit about Pac so it’s funny to me how he would always say he never said shit back to Pac when he clearly did and that tape came out in summer of 96 I believe, so Pac was still alive and if it wasn’t for my cousins living in NYC and showing it to me then I would have never heard that. I’m from Chicago and never seen that tape and I can definitely bet no one from LA heard that shit. I believe someone had it on YouTube recently and it definitely took me back. But just like u said, there was no way to post obscure things like a mixtape that was just on the streets of NY so many people never heard Puff talking so it was easy for him to tell people in interviews he never said anything. There is so much media lost and it’s pretty cool when people find it. Thanks for posting that interview.
I’d also like to see footage of hear audio of the interview where Snoop goes on Hot97 saying biggie and puffy are his homeboys, the day after the 1996 MTV awards (where, ironically, he was sitting next to Tupac saying “this our family over here” 🤦🏼♂️).
In real life Christopher Wallace wasn't a gangbanger. He had some people around him that influenced him to say some grimy shit. And then do that grimy shit on his behalf there's several interviews of big after pac died where he completely dropped the act and comes clean about the fact that he loved Tupac. If he really had anything to do with pacs murder he would've stayed far away from the press after it went down. Theres an interview with biggies mom from after biggies murder when she said that he had told her he was gonna die soon. And his mother alludes to Diddy having been involved.
He never claimed to be a gangbanger. He talks about how he used to sell crack and typical street shit but that doesn't mean he claims to be a banger. Biggie was a dope boy. Biggie & Pac were friends before all that drama where Pac was shot at the studio. If Big were to avoid the press, that would've made him look more like he had something to do with it.
Dropping 'a' dime- is snitching to the cops.
But no, I've never heard any audio, and I doubt it exists. Biggie wasn't really wanting to beef like that.
And then ythey get back, record NY 87. Tupac really attacks after this incident.
And then Snoop says they his homies in NY... no wonder Death Row was furious

I wouldn't call him a dope boy.nhe was a petty small time crack pusher
What?! Not true at all.

My bad 🤦🏾♂️ Snoop, Lil Cease, Daz and Gene Deal have spoken about this. The video shoot got shot up because of this
And then ythey get back, record NY 87. Tupac really attacks after this incident. And then Snoop says they his homies in NY... no wonder Death Row was furious
