"hit 'em up" is a diss song by 2pac, featuring his rap group the outlawz. it is the b-side to the 1996 single "how do u want it". the song viciously insults several east coast rappers, chiefly tupac shakur's enemy and former friend, the notorious b.i.g.. "hit 'em up" was produced by long-time collaborator johnny j and samples "don't look any further" by dennis edwards.
the single was based around the 1994 encounter in a recording studio in which 2pac was shot 5 times. after the incident, he claimed sean combs and the notorious b.i.g. were at the studio at the time of incident and had prior knowledge of the shooting. in "hit 'em up" 2pac accuses b.i.g. of being responsible for the shooting and further insults him by suggesting that he had sex with his wife, faith evans. many believe this song was the paramount to tupac's death in las vegas, three months after the single's release. some people believe that his death was an act of revenge against his insults toward biggie.
