"Hit 'Em Upwardly" is a diss song by hip hop creative person 2Pac, featuring the Outlawz. It is the B-side to the single "How Exercise U Want Information technology", released on June 4, 1996. The song's lyrics contain vicious insults to several Eastward Coast rappers, chiefly Shakur'southward former-friend-turned-rival, The Notorious B.I.1000. (also referred colloquially to as Biggie Smalls). The song was recorded at Tin can Am Studios in 1996. There is a previous version of this song recorded in October 1995. Reporter Chuck Philips, who interviewed Shakur at Tin can Am, described the song as "a caustic anti–Due east Coast jihad in which the rapper threatens to eliminate Biggie, Puff, and a slew of Bad Male child artists and other New York acts." The vocal was produced past long-fourth dimension collaborator Johnny "J". The video, itself described as infamous, includes impersonations of Biggie, Puffy and K.A.F.I.A. member Lil' Kim.

"Hit 'Em Up" had a large office in exacerbating the Due east Coast–W Coast hip hop rivalry. Following its release, the East Declension rappers insulted in the song responded through tracks of their own. The controversy surrounding the song is due in part to Shakur'southward murder in a drive-by-shooting only iii months afterwards its release.

The song is widely regarded as 1 of the greatest diss tracks ever recorded due to its explicit lyrical content and the seriousness of violent intent expressed by Shakur and his colleagues towards their rivals.[two]

Origins [edit]

"Hit 'Em Up" was written and recorded at Can-Am studios in 1996.[3] [4] For the vocal, Tupac Shakur recruited the members of the former group Dramacydal whom he had worked with previously, and was eager to work with over again. Together, the rappers (along with other associates) formed the original lineup of the Outlawz.[five] The showtime and 3rd verses are performed by Shakur, while the second poesy is performed by Hussein Fatal, the fourth by Yaki Kadafi and the fifth by Due east.D.I. Mean.[half-dozen] [7] The bassline of the soundtrack is a sample from a song called 'Don't Look Any Further', by ex-Temptation Dennis Edwards.

The ferocity of Shakur'southward raging vocals,[eight] equally said by long-time collaborator and producer of "Hit 'Em Up" Johnny J, was entirely authentic.[3] He explained that Shakur was initially fueled past his acrimony against Biggie and Bad Male child Records for the belief that they had a function in the November 30, 1994, deadfall and assault on Shakur. He claimed that Biggie and his coiffure knew of his shooting and wanted him dead.[9] Shakur used this fury, which Johnny "J" described as "superhuman",[three] to assault Biggie and other East Declension rappers.[3] Johnny "J" also stated that he had never seen Shakur so angry and that the words he rapped were in no mode an act,[ten] describing the recording process as the nigh "hard-cadre he had always done."[3] Although he was very happy with the work he had put into information technology and the resulting song, Johnny "J" went on to say that he had no desire to work on annihilation of that magnitude again.[3]

Shakur was besides enraged by Biggie's release of "Who Shot Ya?" provocatively only months after the shooting incident, and although information technology did not straight involve Shakur'south name, he believed it was directed towards him. Shakur admitted to releasing "Hitting 'Em Upward" as a response to "Who Shot Ya?"[11] In a Vibe interview, the rapper called out Sean "Puffy" Combs and Biggie Smalls and accused both of them of setting him up, or of having knowledge of the attack and not warning him. He also singled out businessmen James Rosemond ("Jimmy Henchman"), and Jacques Agnant ("Haitian Jack") of orchestrating the assault. Shakur announced the names of his ostensible conspirators to Kevin Powell, a announcer for Vibe; however, to mask their true identities, Vibe referred to Henchman as "Booker," and Jack equally "Nigel" in the published interview. Persons familiar with the interview say they used different names later on the magazine received threats from Henchman. A former Vibe editor denied receiving threats, but neglected to explain why the magazine substituted aliases for Henchman and Haitian Jack.

Limerick [edit]

The lyrics in "Hit 'Em Upwards" were aimed primarily at Biggie and Puffy.[9] [12] Shakur viciously insults Biggie throughout⁠ ⁠– the first line by Shakur is "That's why I fucked your bitch, you fat motherfucker"[thirteen]⁠ ⁠– and threatens retaliation in the songs hook, proverb "Who shot me?/But you punks didn't finish/Now yous're almost to feel the wrath of a menace."[xiv] He as well used the vocal as a platform to express his belief that Biggie was guilty of stealing his style of rapping, and was merely imitating his lifestyle.[fifteen] This notion is addressed in the verse in "At present information technology's all most Versace, yous copied my way."[16] He as well touches topically on their early friendship with the line "Biggie, recollect when I used to let you sleep on the couch?" and their subsequent fallout. Towards the end of the song Tupac disses Mobb Deep, saying "Don't ane of y'all niggas got sickle cell or something? You fucking with me, nigga you fuck around and become a seizure or a eye attack", referring to Prodigy, a member of Mobb Deep who suffered from sickle cell disease (and would in fact later die of complications related to the illness). Mobb Deep responded by releasing "Drop a Gem on 'em", which was released shortly before Tupac's death (simply pulled from airplay rotation after).[xvi] [17] "Hitting 'Em Up" features much profanity, using the words "fuck" or "motherfucker" at least 35 times in the song, and was issued a Parental Advisory label.[18]

The chorus of "Striking 'Em Up" is a play on the chorus of Junior M.A.F.I.A's "Player'southward Anthem."[11] The phrase "take money" is repeated throughout the song, which is a play on Junior One thousand.A.F.I.A'due south recent release "Get Coin", the remix of which (called "Gettin' Money") is too the crush used in "Hit 'Em Up".[xix] Faith Evans, who at the time was Biggie'southward estranged wife,[20] was reportedly seen with Shakur after a public breakup with Biggie.[21] [22] Journalist Chuck Philips spotted Religion Evans at Can Am when he interviewed Shakur a twelvemonth earlier in 1995. People at the studio told the reporter that Religion Evans also contributed – that the R&B chanteuse recorded one or more "Take Money" groundwork vocals that would announced on "Hit Em Upwardly." Regarding his October 1995 interview of the rapper, Philips remembered in 2012;

"I was so unaware of the bi-coastal rap war that I suspected zilch when Organized religion Evans appeared with Shakur at Can Am. The estranged wife of Biggie was recording groundwork vocals for "Wonda Why They Call U Bitch", a song which was at the fourth dimension yet to be released."

According to Shakur she had given him gifts of article of clothing, which he offered as proof of a relationship in an interview. Using this against Biggie in "Hitting 'Em Upwardly", Shakur continued to fuel the rumors of a sexual relationship with Evans in the song'southward line "You merits to be a histrion, simply I fucked your wife."[4] Claims of an affair with Evans announced iii times in the song.[5]

Shakur also attacked many other people associated with Bad Boy Records and with Biggie,[14] such equally Lil' Kim and Junior M.A.F.I.A.[23] He exclaimed that their lifestyle and what they rapped about were fraudulent, and that they were not from the streets. He believed that they were only perpetuating the drama and did non understand the situation they were getting into.[5] Bronx rapper Chino XL was also insulted for vulgar comments he made about Shakur on his song "Riiiot!".[24] In the original recording, Shakur also insulted Jay-Z at the ending segment, simply removed it after existence convinced past Outlawz members that Carter had null to do with the conflict betwixt Death Row and Bad Boy.[25]

Music video [edit]

The music video for "Hit 'Em Up" was filmed in a warehouse off Slauson Avenue almost Fox Hills Mall in Los Angeles on June 3, 1996.[26] [27] [28] It was filmed by the product company Look Hear Productions.[27] Shakur raps in a white room with The Outlawz, as well as in purple-caged room and a black room with bullet holes in the background. TV monitors in the background show clips of Shakur, Puffy, and Biggie Smalls, and fifty-fifty clips from the video "Made Niggaz." The video featured actors who were recalled from their prior roles in the music video for "two of Amerikaz Most Wanted" to impersonate some of those who were attacked in "Hit 'Em Upwards."[29] This included Biggie, whose stand-in stares dully into the photographic camera and sports a Kangol and jacket, similar to one Biggie would wear. During the moments where Shakur raps about his claimed matter with Evans, the Biggie impersonator crouches virtually the photographic camera while Shakur yells in his face. Puffy is also impersonated, appearing with a high-top fade and leaning towards the photographic camera, lowering and raising his sunglasses.[29]

Like the vocal, the video for "Hitting 'Em Upwardly" has also been chosen "infamous".[30] [ failed verification ] [ self-published source ] The pro-West Declension rails'south music video featured the members burdensome buildings in Manhattan, which was already done in another pro-Due west Declension music video for "New York, New York" by Tha Dogg Pound earlier.[31] The music video for "Hit 'Em Up" can be found on Tupac: Live at the House of Blues DVD.[32]

Release and reception [edit]

Finishing the recording of the song, Shakur felt very positively about the track, saying;

"[The] vocal is going to be playing in every club, every state. Deejays are calling from everywhere, wanting to become a piece of this."[33]

"Hit 'Em Up" appeared first every bit a B-side,[14] on the unmarried "How Do U Desire It",[34] by Shakur featuring The Outlawz.[35] On June 4, 1996, under the label Death Row Records,[13] "Hit 'Em Upward" was released on compact disc, 12-inch,[34] and a 45 RPM. The original cover for the unmarried had Puffy's caput on a snake's body, and Biggie'due south head on a pig'due south.[26] Information technology also appeared posthumously on several compilations, including the 2005 release of Shakur's last recorded live performance, Live at the Business firm of Blues.[36] "Hit 'Em Upwards" was as well remixed on Nu-Mixx Klazzics. Upon its release, "Hitting 'Em Up" received frequent radio airplay, which was attributed to the public involvement in the ongoing feud and radio stations' desire to garner loftier ratings.[9] Even so, some radio stations, such as the Los Angeles-based KPWR, refused to play it.[37] The follow-up to "Hitting 'Em Up" was the song "Bomb Starting time (My 2nd Reply)".[38]

"Hitting 'Em Up" has been called "controversial,"[37] "infamous,"[14] "disturbing,"[39] and "savage."[eleven] Shakur's insults against virtually the entire East Declension scene of rappers were said to exist ferocious.[iii] The song, along with "Dear Mama," has been viewed as one of Shakur's songs that resonated with and was spoken of the most past young people.[xl] [nine] Amidst assembly of Shakur, information technology was called a "bad-luck song."[33] Los Angeles radio director Bruce St. James chosen the song "the be-all, end-all, expletive-word, dirty-lyric, violent song of all time."[37] Documentary filmmaker Carl Weston believed that "most people in Biggie's shoes would accept wanted to at to the lowest degree injure Tupac" in a Spin magazine interview.[41]

Amid musicians, the song drew criticism from singer Dionne Warwick,[42] and disapproval from young man rappers Kool Moe Dee and Chuck D, as written in their volume There's a God on the Mic: The True 50 Greatest MCs. They felt that although Shakur was one of the well-nigh substantive rappers of that period, he had gone too far with "Hit 'Em Up,"[43] causing some of Shakur'southward fans to turn on him, co-ordinate to the 2 rappers.[44]

Aftermath [edit]

The song has been viewed every bit the turning signal in the feud between Tupac and Biggie, where things were said and rapped which could never be taken dorsum during the remainder of Shakur's life.[45] This has led to its beingness dubbed as the beginning of the war between the Eastward Declension and the Due west Coast,[45] and the centerpiece in what became the nigh venomous boxing in the history of hip hop.[46]

"Hit 'Em Up" has been studied by and with academics,[47] and information technology has been used every bit a part of a series of lessons for building the means to communicate with younger people.[48] Its principal role in these lessons is to ascertain acrimony in rap music.[49] Biggie was shot and killed six months subsequently Shakur's death.[50]

Response [edit]

From Biggie [edit]

After hearing "Striking 'Em Up", Biggie continued proclaiming his innocence in the shooting incident. He also remarked that the song "Who Shot Ya?" was written earlier Shakur was shot and thus, was not nigh him.[eleven] Regarding the lyrics aimed at his wife Faith, Biggie expressed an inability to notice merit in what Shakur had claimed. He believed that Shakur intended to attack him through Organized religion, although he remained unsure of whether an run across between them had occurred. Ultimately, he thought that if something had occurred it was none of his business, and that Shakur should not have publicly disclosed this information in a song.[iv] Biggie responded to this affair in a similar mode to "Hitting 'Em Up", rapping in a joint release by himself and Jay-Z in the song "Brooklyn's Finest",[51] where he says "If Faye have twins, she'd probably take two Pacs. Get it? Tupac's?"[52] Soon after the release of "Hit 'Em Upwardly", Evans went on the radio and admitted that she had been with Shakur, but continued to deny their human relationship was sexual.[52]

From other artists [edit]

Puffy had trouble understanding the sheer rage Shakur had expressed for Biggie in "Hitting 'Em Up". He also responded past reinforcing his and Biggie's innocence regarding the shooting and went on to say that prior to the incident they "were friends",[53] and that they "would accept never done nothing to hurt him."[53] In an interview with Vibe Mag concerning Shakur's allegations of Biggie and Puffy having prior knowledge of the ambush, Puffy stated:

He ain't mad at the niggas that shot him; he knows where they're at. He knows who shot him. If you ask him, he knows, and everybody in the street knows, and he's not stepping to them, considering he knows that he's not gonna get away with that shit. To me, that'southward some real sucker shit. Be mad at everybody, man; don't be using niggas as scapegoats. We know that he's a overnice guy from New York. All shit aside, Tupac is a nice, good-hearted guy.[54]

Lil' Kim responded on the original version of her song "Large Momma Thang", which was aimed at Biggie's wife, Faith Evans, and Shakur.[55] Junior M.A.F.I.A. recorded a music video for the vocal "Get Money", which has been regarded as a diss to Shakur. Biggie denies these claims, stating: "Information technology's just a video; ain't nobody got no time to make no diss on nobody."[56] Lil' Stop said after the release that Biggie still had love for Shakur, and even respected him.[41] The attack on Mobb Deep came as a response for their involvement on the song "L.A L.A" past Capone-N-Noreaga, which was a retaliation to Snoop Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound's vocal "New York, New York" music video in which members of Tha Dogg Pound and Decease Row are seen knocking downward buildings in New York City. Mobb Deep responded to Shakur with the track "Drop a Gem on 'em".[57] It was first released equally a promotional single, and later appeared on their album Hell on Globe. Lyrically, it did not specifically name Shakur, but information technology did allude to the shooting incident. It has too been noted for erroneously stating the cost of the avails Shakur had taken from him during the shooting incident.[58] Bronx rapper King Sun also responded to Shakur with "New York Love (All Eyez On Sun)".

In the 2d half of Eminem's song "Quitter", the rapper attempts to remake "Hit 'Em Up" and in itself is a diss runway aimed towards Everlast. Eminem has support from D12 on his version like the Outlawz supported Shakur on the original.[65] "What I Think About Y'all" by Bow Wow uses a reinterpolation of "Hit 'Em Upward" and is a diss vocal to boyfriend rapper Soulja Boy Tell 'em.[66]
