Who you thought 'Kick In The Door' was for?

Question:

Seeing as a portion of posters here are big into their 'beefs'...can anyone give me background to Biggy and NaS. Kick in the door makes no specific mention to his name but it's about it apparantly...as outlined in NaS' Last Real Nigga Alive.

I'm really not a fan of the stupid agro between those muppets who manage to dominate the charts these days, but I'm interested in the old style of dissing.

Any info. appreciated!

Basically NaS got on with both BIG and Raekwon but the two of them didnt and they started sayin shít to NaS about each other and NaS was stuck in the middle of it.

NaS wrote:

BIG and I hit blunts performing at the Arc
Next thing you knew, BIG blew and all the balling starts
He had Kim and his crew, I found Fox, only niggas in New York
with number
one charts
BIG was ahead of his time, him and Raekwon my niggas
But dig it, they couldn't get along
That's when Ghostface said it on the Purple tape
Bad Boy biting Nas album cover way(?)
BIG told me Rae was stealing my slang
And Rae told me out in Shaolin BIG would do the same thing
But I borrowed from both them niggas
Jigga started to flow like us, but hit with 'Ain't No Niggas'
Had much Versace swagger
BIG admired the Brooklyn knight and it took him in as Iceberg
the rapper
Today don't know nothing, about this bullshít
There's more shít than wanting to be this King of New York shít

Excellent thanks.

I think I remember Method Man saying something about how certain members of the Wu hated BIG but he liked him. Plus he was the only guest MC on the album...and what a great track it was too.
