Tupac Shakur may be physically gone, but his legacy firmly lives on. Twenty-five years after his murder, he remains a consistent topic of conversation in Hip Hop circles. Case in point, Nasbrother Jungle recently sat down with the Smoke Champs podcast for the debut episode where he revisited an altercation he had with the late rap legend and Death Row while attending the MTV Video Music Awards in the 1990s. In the clip, Jungle explains it all started when 2Pac dissed Mobb Deepon Hit Em Up in 1996. To him, that translated to dissing all of Queensbridge where Nas and Jungle are from. Around that time, thats when the 2Pac-Mobb Deepshit happen he didnt say anything about Nas, but he shitted on Mobb Deep so you shitted on Queensbridge. And as a kid, KRS did that to Queensbridge and we dont play that no more. We was at the MTV music awards and Nas had to give an award, so he went to the back.
