"
Who Shot Ya?
" is a song by American rapper the Notorious B.I.G. (born Christopher Wallace), backed by Sean Combs. Bad Boy Entertainment released it on February 21, 1995, on an alternate reissue of Biggie's single "Big Poppa/Warning". Its new B-side "Who Shot Ya", a revision of a track already issued earlier in 1995, was "controversial and hugely influential."[1] Widely interpreted as a taunt at Tupac Shakur, the single provoked a "rap battle" between the two rappers, formerly friends.


Tupac's fatal shooting in September 1996 and Wallace's in March 1997, both officially unresolved, drew speculations partly blaming the "rap battle". The track was reissued in 1999 on the posthumous Biggie album 
Born Again
, in 2001 on a "Big Poppa/Warning" reissue with remixes, in 2004 on a remaster of his 1994 or debut album 
Ready to Die
, and in 2007 on his compilation album 
Greatest Hits
. The rock band Living Colour's music video to a 2016 cover version protests gun violence. 
Who Shot Ya?
 is now a trope beyond music.


In July 1993, Uptown Records' founder Andre Harrell fired his unbridled A&R man and record producer Sean "Puffy" Combs, age 23, whose new label, Bad Boy Entertainment, then found parenting by Clive Davis's Arista Records.[3] By late 1994, Bad Boy prevailed via rapper Craig Mack's hit single "Flava in Ya Ear," yet especially by Bad Boy's first album, 
Ready to Die
,[4] released on September 13, 1994,[5] the debut album of gangsta rapper the Notorious B.I.G., or Biggie Smalls.[6][7] The album is mostly grim and hardcore,[8] but Puffy removed "Who Shot Ya" from it.[9]


In 2004, Brooklyn rapper Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter recollected, about the mixtape,[19] "I've heard songs I like, but the last time I remember being truly, truly inspired was when I heard 'Who Shot Ya.' "[20] One night, Kareem "Biggs" Burke, cofounder of Jay-Z's label, Roc-A-Fella Records, drew him to Harlem's 125 Street,[20] entered his car, inserted the tape, and fled.[19] Jay-Z reflects, "He knew that if I heard 'Who Shot Ya?,' it's going to inspire me to make songs even hotter. But that song, it was so crazy. It just had an effect on everybody. The world stopped when he dropped 'Who Shot Ya?' "[19] On Jay-Z's debut June 1996 album's track "Brooklyn's Finest," guest Biggie includes the phrase 
who shot ya
 and the word 
warning
.[21]


In 2014, a publicity piece for New York rap DJ and Hot 97 radio host Funkmaster Flex's new book announced, "The song 'Who Shot Ya' was originally an intro for Mary J Blige's album. Uptown/MCA said it was too hard. The song in its original form had a verse from Big, Keith Murray, and LL Cool J, though LL never did his verse. The song still exists!' "[30]


"Who Shot Ya" traces to the Uptown Records recording of R&B singer Mary J Blige's second or November 1994 album, 
My Life
.[27][36][39] Its record producers were Carl "Chucky" Thompson,[40] Prince Charles Alexander, and Sean "Puffy" Combs,[36] while Nashiem Myrick, studio manager, "played a big role."[41] Prince Alexander was a Bad Boy regular,[42] whereas Chucky Thompson and Nashiem Myrick were among "the Hitmen," the inner circle of staff record producers at Bad Boy Entertainment.[43][44] Puffy began Bad Boy in 1992 while A&R director at, and initially in partnership with,[45] Andre Harrell's Uptown Records.[3][46]


Poke's programming of a synthesized kick drum, heavier and "fluffy," on a drum machine completed the instrumental.[27] Otherwise, it is simply a sample from "I'm Afraid the Masquerade is Over" by soul singer David Porter,[27][29] the Isaac Hayes coproducer who, alike Hayes, and sharing backing vocalists with Hayes, reinterpreted and extended popular hits.[52] Porter's cover version and extension of this 1939 classic[28] is on his "rock/soul opera" concept album, released in January 1971, that became a cult classi
