If Biggie had put out a diss track on Pac like Drop A Gem On Em (which came out after Pac's death but was clearly made before his death), it would have been no big deal. But being quiet like a churchmouse until Pac died and then making disses was pathetic.

I agree with this. If Biggie was going to stay quiet, he should've stayed completely quiet rather than being silent until Pac died, then making subliminal disses, or he should've just been straight up dissing right after Hit 'Em Up dropped so it would've been like a real battle. Even Mobb Deep told magazines (while Pac was alive) that they would drop a reply to Hit 'Em Up. But are you sure Drop a Gem on 'Em was made before Pac died? I would think so, but there are a few lines that make me think otherwise:
Havoc: "Plus the fans that you got, wondering what's got you hot/ It's too not,
knocked out the box and got rocked" ("knocked out the box" obviously means killed)
Prodigy: "You must've been drunk when you
wrote that shit" (I was thinking this might be a reference to Against All Odds where Pac says, "This be the realest shit I ever wrote")
I might be wrong though, I'm just trying to play devil's advocate. Or maybe I had too many drinks at the bar.
