The rivalry between the West and the East Coast is considered the bloodiest rivalry in hip-hop’s history. In fact, to tell the story of this rivalry is to tell the story of hip-hop, and the effect of this beef still resonates today.

Tupac Shakur and the Notorious BIG were the main actors in this feud, and their rivalry and beef was so intense that both rappers ended up being shot to death. BIG was based in the East-Coast in New York, and he was a part of the Bad Boy Records label. Tupac on the other hand represented the West Coast with the Los Angeles-based label, Death Row Records.

This is the story of the rivalry that defined hip-hop, the story of two great MCs whose rivalry led to their eventual death.
