Tupac and Biggie were once close friends who performed together in New York before everything fell apart following the 1994 Quad Recording Studios shooting, which Tupac blamed on Biggie. Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya” in February 1995 deepened the wound, and Tupac answered with “Hit Em Up” in 1996, one of the most aggressive diss records ever put on wax. It ended with Tupac shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, dying six days later on September 13th, and Biggie killed in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997. Both murders remain unsolved! 🕊️🕊️

In 1994, Common dropped “I Used to Love H.E.R.” and Ice Cube interpreted a line in the song as a direct shot at West Coast rap, responding on “Westside Slaughterhouse” off Mack 10’s debut album. Common answered with the Pete Rock-produced “The Bitch in Yoo” in 1996 without hesitation. By 1997, Minister Louis Farrakhan brought both men to the table at the Nation of Islam headquarters in Chicago and facilitated a resolution between them. Two artists who genuinely cared about this culture, disagreeing about where it was heading, and keeping it in the music the entire time!

When Ice Cube left N.W.A. in 1989 over financial disputes, the group took aim at him across multiple records. He responded in 1991 on Death Certificate with “No Vaseline,” addressing all four former groupmates and their manager Jerry Heller on one track without pulling a single punch. Ice Cube has stated publicly that he considers it the greatest diss record ever made, and that position is genuinely difficult to argue against!

When Dr. Dre left Ruthless Records and parted ways with his former N.W.A. groupmate Eazy-E under disputed circumstances, what followed was one of the most personal and public fallouts West Coast rap had ever seen. In 1993, Dre opened his debut solo album The Chronic with “Fuck wit Dre Day,” a record built around taking direct aim at Eazy-E, with Snoop delivering a secondary shot at Bronx rapper Tim Dog along the way. The record climbed to No. 8 on the Billboard singles chart, and Eazy fired back with “Real Muthaphuckkin G’s.” Two former close collaborators, now on opposite sides of one of rap’s most compelling feuds, and all of it captured on record for the world to hear!

Kool Moe Dee felt LL Cool J was drawing from a style he had not earned the right to, so he put it on record with “How Ya Like Me Now” in 1987 and issued the challenge publicly. LL responded, and what started as an accusation of imitation turned into one of the most creatively productive rivalries the genre has seen. By the time LL dropped “Mama Said Knock You Out,” that competition had clearly pushed him to a level he may not have reached without it!

When Mr. Magic dismissed KRS-One and Scott La Rock’s record on air and refused to give them any play on WBLS, New York’s most influential Hip-Hop station at the time, KRS responded with “South Bronx” aimed directly at the Juice Crew. MC Shan fired back with “Kill That Noise,” but KRS settled it with “The Bridge Is Over,” a record so decisive it effectively ended MC Shan’s career. What started as a radio slight became a full debate over which borough gave birth to Hip-Hop, resolved entirely through the music!

When UTFO dropped “Roxanne, Roxanne” in 1984, they had no idea a 14-year-old named Roxanne Shanté would walk into the studio with Marley Marl, record “Roxanne’s Revenge” in a single take, and completely reframe the entire record. The song sold over 250,000 copies in New York alone and sparked what became the Roxanne Wars, a phenomenon that generated as many as 100 response records. The music industry started paying very close attention to what a well-timed lyrical response could do for a career after that!

On December 25, 1981, at Manhattan’s Harlem World nightclub, Busy Bee Starski was on stage making bold claims, completely unaware that Kool Moe Dee was standing in that same crowd. When Moe Dee got the mic, he proceeded to dismantle Busy Bee point by point in a freestyle that made every person in that room understand the difference between a performer and a true lyricist. That night redefined what it meant to be an MC and set the standard for what it means to back up everything you say!

A lot of people think that artists are clout chasing or need the recognition when beefing, when in actuality beef has been a part of Hip-Hop culture since it was discovered! People love to act like competition in this genre is a new problem that needs to be solved, but the only thing new about it is the size of the audience watching. Hip-Hop has never watered itself down, censored itself, or apologized for what it is, and that unapologetic rawness and authenticity is a big reason why beef and battles have never left this culture. As long as it stays on wax, there is no such thing as going too far, and the history of this genre has made that point far too many times for anyone to argue otherwise! 🧵

White people who claim they understand the harms of systemic racism but do nothing about it are not allies.

Lol. Man, you guys are in the wrong business. With this type of imagination, some of you should be world famous novelists. Or maybe creative directors.

SZA reportedly dropped a bombshell about her fallout with Travis Scott and it’s messy. According to her, what was supposed to be a joint album turned into a money move. Travis allegedly demanded a staggering $3.5 million upfront just to collaborate. For SZA, that crossed a line. She didn’t just see it as business she saw it as betrayal, especially considering their history. She didn’t hide her früstration either, questioning how someone she considered close could reduce their relationship to a price tag. Things quickly went left from there, with Travis reportedly pulling out of the project entirely and shutting the door on the collaboration.

Reminder that when they say Kendrick pays Joe Budden for PR, simply because he’s critical of Drake - this is the diary entry Lawbrianna wrote to Joe Budden right before the beef 😂
