Or maybe, someone was spittin a whole lot of bullshit in his ear, cuz Pac's reactions to these 'theories and ideas' of who shot him would be profitable to others (hmm suge?)..
Pac was hearing it from people in jail. I don't think people locked up had much to profit from.
Besides, it's about universally accepted that Pac was shot by the Black Mafia, which had financial ties to Bad Boy. Pac got set up after refusing to sign to Bad Boy. And finally, he got robbed in the recording studio while the whole Bad Boy camp was there, after he was contacted by Lil Shawn to come do a song.
The only people who knew for sure that Pac would be coming to Quad that night were Bad Boy members and people rolling with him.
Anyways all I'm saying is maybe Pac was misinformed, or maybe he was just paranoid, or maybe he was just a human being who enjoyed making money and also lied at times.
There were simply too many disses on too many tracks that were almost certain not to see the light of day for the beef to be a money making scheme. Stuff like having a fucking 3 year old talking shit to Biggie on the Still I Rise OG (a song which couldn't have had less to do with beef, by the way).
Pac had a #1 album before the beef. Pac was a top seller regardless of beef. And Pac was dissing a record label that was getting money from a group that robbed him and nearly blew his head and balls off.
It wasn't about money.
