no, i'm asking was he physically scared of him. not was he scared to trade bars.

i don't know the answer btw. this post is just for fun. just something that caught my year and would sort of explain that verse for one thing, but it would also sort of explain why Jay seemed to revere Biggie. respect out of talent AND fear goes a long way.
