Just a very brief
page to lead up to my 'disses'
section, which details why these beefs started...
There were many people who
2Pac had beefs with, major and minor. Most of these people were
rappers, click
here to view my main enemy page -2PAC vs BIG. On this page, I
have detailed other enemies of 2Pac. Most of these enemies were made
in response to 2Pac's disses, when he set out to change things in the rap
game. His main enemies were the following...
Notorious BIG
Puff Daddy
Mobb Deep
Nas
LL Cool J
Dr. Dre
Wendy Williams
C. Deloris Tucker
Chino XL
William Johnson
Tupac's
Beefs in a nutshell...
Bad Boy Crew: All
the beef was sparked by the shooting in the Manhattan Studio in New York.
Pac claimed and told an interviewer of Vibe magazine that it was setup by
Biggie (Notorious BIG) and Puffy (Sean Puffy Combs) (Puffy being the
mastermind). Basically, Pac had serious beef with Bad Boy Records and was
clear to show his anger in his lyrics - "If you wanna be down with
Bad Boy, then f**k you too!.."
Notorious B.I.G.
(Biggie Smalls): They were once good
friends & Pac was claimed to be the source of Biggie's fame and
riches. Tupac would do performances with BIG to assist BIG in his
struggling career to be known as a rap star. When Pac was shot in the
Manhattan Studio in NY, he claimed that Biggie was aware that the
shooting would take place, but failed to give him full information.
Their friendship was later worsened when BIG released an album that
was remarkably similar to Pac's upcoming album, which resulted in
Tupac re-recording the entire new album. Pac also mentioned that
Biggie was "rapping about my life" when he was rapping about
the cash,, jewellery and assets he did not really have.
Puff Daddy (Puffy):
Tupac had problems with Puffy as he believed he
was the mastermind behind the NY shooting. Other (and a more simpler)
reasons was because he was down with Bad Boy Records, and he was
"fake" or unoriginal as he did not make his own lyrics or
music. Some words of retaliation include: "Puffy weaker than a f*cking
block I'm running you ni**a..." - Hitemup
Mobb Deep:
With the recording of "New York, New York"
with Tha Dogg Pound on the album titled, "Dogg Food", the heat
between the two rappers was bought to light. Other influences included the
fact that Mobb Deep released a song titled "Thug Life, we still livin'
it" after he wrote an article about quitting Thug Life. Mobb Deep was
believed that he said alot of things in his music that he did not carry
out. "Oh yeah Mobb Deep, you wanna f*ck with us? You Little young a**
mutha f*ckas, don't one of you ni**as got sickle-cell or something? You f*cking
with me, ni**a ? You f*ck around and catch a seizure or a heart-attack.
You better back the f*ck up before you get smacked the f*ck up, that how
we do it on our side.." - Hit 'Em Up
Jay-Z : Jay-Z
was the first to diss Tupac when he released the track titled
"Brooklyn's finest" (with Biggie also dissing him in the same
track). Jay-Z had a close relationship with Bad-Boy records and with Mobb
Deep. As a retaliation, 2Pac released "Bomb First" on his
makaveli album, dissing Jay-Z and others.
Chino XL:
This is the album that dissed everyone including Whitney Houston, Eddie
Murphy and of course Tupac. In keeping up with his tradition, Tupac
retaliated: "..Chino XL, f**k you too. All you mother f**kers, f**k
you too!" - Hitemup. It is believed that Chino XL's comments was only
there to create publicity and make him a well known rapstar, but this
scheme was obvious, so Tupac didn't mention his name too many times as
this would only create a name for Chino XL.
LL Cool J: Tupac
praised LL Cool J in his older album "Me against the world" on
the track "Old School". But the beef commenced when LL decided
to take Mobb Deep's side with the recording of the track "I shot ya",
in order to create his "hardcore" image that he had lost. Once
again, a war was created between the two.
Dr.Dre: Tupac
disliked the way Dre left Death Row and the beef was compounded when Dre
failed to turn up at Snoop's court trial, which Pac saw as an insult to
Snoop and the entire Deathrow record label. Pac also claimed that Dre
wasn't working hard enough while recieving alot of cash while he was with
Death Row records. Dre however, didn't seem to want to cause any trouble
and did not diss Pac in any way.
Nas: Tupac
didnt' like the fact that Nas' mouth was getting him caught up in the
East/West rivalry, which Tupac claimed that Nas should have had nothing to
do with.
C. Deloris Tucker:
A black woman that was offended by rap and tried to
ban it's music or put major censorships on it. Pac mentioned her name in
"Wonda they call U b**ch" - "Dear Ms. Deloris Tucker, keep
stressin' me f*ckin' with a muthaf**kn' mind, I figured you wanted to
know, you know, why we call them hoes b**ches, and maybe this might help
you understand it ain't personal, strictly business baby, strictly
business." Ms. Deloris Tucker is now sueing Tupac's estate claiming
that the track (although released a few years ago) ruined her sex life
(don't ask me how).
Other
Enemies: Fugees, and Wendy Williams (Wendy
claimed that Tupac was raped in jail)
