Their First Meeting
Tupac and Biggie first came across each other in Los Angeles, back in 1993. Biggie, the Brooklyn-bred rapper asked his drug dealer to introduce him to Tupac, who then invited Biggie to a party at his house. That’s where they shared a “big freezer bag of the greenest vegetables I’d ever seen,” according to Dan Smalls, an intern at Biggie’s label at the time, also part of the group.

Tupac got them high then pulled out an army bag filled with machine guns and handguns. “So now, we are in this backyard running around with guns just playing,” Smalls says. He went on to explain that none of them were loaded. While they were playing around, Tupac went into the kitchen and starting cooking for them. They had steaks, French fries, bread, and Kool-Aid. According to Smalls, this was the beginning of the friendship of these two legendary rappers.
