Biggie Smalls aka Notorious B.I.G. was an East Coast rapper. In 1993 when he was coming up, he and Tupac met eachother on the set of the movie that Tupac starred in, Poetic Justice. Tupac had made his name in the music industry at this time but Biggie was a year younger than Tupac so he wasn't very well known, he had only made a few guest appearances including What's The 411 with Mary J. Blidge. Pac would give Biggie advice on how to make it in the rap game and even let come on stage at Pac's concert to do his own little show. At this time Tupac represented Thuglife and when Biggie came on stage they were screaming "Thuglife." Biggie was sayin' stuff to Tupac like, "I Hate Brooklyn, Puffy's cheatin' me, I'm out with the niggaz." (according to Pac). At this time Biggie was signed to Puff Daddy's record label, Bad Boy Records. Suddenly Biggie stopped screaming Thuglife. Pac wasn't too happy with this but he and Biggie were still friends. November 30, 1994 was the moment when things would never be the same again for both of the rappers. Tupac was walking into a recording studio were Biggie, Puffy and other east coast rappers where, to do a song with east coast rapper, Lil' Shawn. As Tupac was about to enter an elivator, 3 men jumped him, stole his jewels and shot him 5 times including 2 graze shots to the head. Tupac then went upstairs and went into the room where Biggie was and everyone looked at him like he was a ghost (according to Pac). |

Tupac went to jail soon after and started to find out what he believed to be the truth. Strangers in jail were telling him that Biggie's "homeboyz" shot him. Then Tupac put all the clues together and realised that Biggie and Puffy were behind the shooting. Tupac was supposed to die that night in Manhatten, Biggie wanted to take his place (according to pac). Tupac also said that Biggie stole his style and when Biggie's debut album, Ready 2 Die came out, Tupac had to change his album Me Against The World because it sounded like Biggie's album, it was all about dealing with death. Tupac also said that when he was arrested for possetion of weapons that they weren't his guns, they were Biggie's guns. Apparently when Biggie heard that the police were downstairs he left his 4 guns in Tupac's room and left the room, so Tupac had 4 guns in his room and he didn't say they were Biggie's, he took that case. |

|
|
When Tupac got out of jail he took action and started dissing Biggie in lots of songs including the famous "Bad Boy Staff Diss" , Hit 'Em Up. Things were really heating up because Tupac wouldn't let it go; he couldn't forgive Biggie. He made it into the most famous rivalry within hip hop ever. Biggie also retaliated in songs but didn't make the disses as obvious. |

Biggie was murdered in March 1997, 6 months after Tupac was killed, he was only 24. |

Puff Daddy/ P.Diddy |
|
|
|
Puffy Daddy is the boss of Bad Boy Records. He was known as Tupac's enemy when Tupac said that he and his friend Biggie were behind Tupac's shooting in New York in 1994. Altough Puffy denied it, Tupac was still convinced that it was him. And if Puffy wasn't responsable, Tupac knew that Puffy and Biggie knew that someone was going to rob/shoot Tupac but they didn't warn him. Tupac dissed Puff Daddy in songs like All Out, Hit 'Em Up, Against All Odds and more. Tupac also had beef with the rest of the Bad Boy Records Staff including Junior Mafia, Lil' Kim and Lil' Cease. |

When Tupac died, Puffy never dissed Tupac. Today he dedicates songs to Tupac at his concerts. |

Mobb Deep |
|
|
|
When Tha Dogg Pound released the single New York, New York, Mobb Deep released a reply to that called, LA, LA which 'Pac saw as dissing the West Coast. Then when Tupac was listening to the radio in jail and heard Mobb Deep saying the words, "Thug Life we still livin' it," Tupac took that as a diss. Tupac dissed Mobb Deep in a number of songs including, Hit 'Em Up and the unreleased song, When We Ride On Our Enemies. Mobb Deep replied to Hit 'Em Up with the song Drop A Gem On 'Em and dissed Tupac. They also dissed him on some other songs. Tupac dissed Mobb Deep more than anyone apart from Biggie. One of Mobb Deep's members had sinkle cell and Pac often used that against him. |

Jay-Z |

Jay-Z got dragged into this beef just because he was real big in New York at the time basically. Tupac was dissing the hell out of Biggie at the time but Biggie wouldn't respond so Pac knew that Jay-Z was real big in New York so he started to mess with him. Tupac dissed Jay-Z in Against All Odds, Bomb First, All Out and more, and was supposed to diss him in Hit Em Up but was advised by fellow Outlaw, Fatal to leave the diss out because Jay-Z had not negitavely mentioned Pac.
Although these two were enemies I was watching some awards and Jay-Z won an award. When he accepted it and he was about to leave the stage he said, "2Pac 4 Eva." This was after Tupac died though and Jay-Z still gives shoutouts to Pac. |

Dr. Dre |
|
|
|
When Tupac was released from jail, he joind Death Row Records. Death Row hosted artists like Snoop Doggy Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, Danny Boy and Dr. Dre. Tupac teamed up with Dre on his first post-prison song, California Love. Dre helped produce a few songs on Tupac's multi-platinum album, All Eyez On Me. However, when Snoop Dogg was on trial for murder, Dre was supposed to show up to give evidence that would save Snoop's case but he didn't show up. Even when Snoop was found not guilty in the case, Dre never showed up to Snoop's party and all the rest of the Death Row staff showed up. The way Pac looked at it was that Snoop brought Dre back when people were dissing him and Dre wasn't down for his homeboy Snoop when he needed him so Pac really wasn't down with that.
Also Pac felt that Dre wasn't pulling his weight. He felt that he and Snoop were doing everything and Dre was sitting on his ass getting other people to write his lyrics and to produce songs that he was getting credit for. Dre wouldn't be in the studio much, he would just sit at home because he had a studio at his house.
Also Pac didn't like the way that Dre was bringing his gay lovers in to the studio when he had a wife and kids at home.
Pac wouldn't tolerate this so he went to Death Row Records' CEO, Suge Knight, and said that he felt Dre should be kicked off Tha Row if he would continue to do all of this. Suge gave Dre and ultimatum and Dre ended up leaving Death Row and he formed his own label.
Tupac dissed Dre on his first posthumous album, The Don Killuminati on the songs, Toss It Up, Against All Odds and To Live And Die In L.A. |

Chino XL |

|
|
Chino XL is an East Coast rapper who never really made it big. He said in one of his songs, "You'll get fucked like Tupac did in jail." Tupac said that he would beat Chino XL's ass for disrespecting his manhood.
Chino XL continued to disrespect and diss Tupac even after he died and when recently confronted about this he got heated up and left the set on the show he was on. Chino XL is just a straight bitch, simple as that. |

LL Cool J |
|
|
|
When Tupac was a teenager he liked LL Cool J. He would listen to songs like I'm Bad and realise how much he loved rap. On Pac's album, Me Against The World, he had a song called Old School which funnily enough was dedicated to old school hip hop. In this song he praised LL saying, "...when LL was raisin' hell.." Despite this, LL dissed Tupac because he felt that Pac really disrespected the east coast. Apparently LL's song I Shot Ya was a directed diss to Tupac. Tupac retaliated dissing LL in the song, Lil' Homies. |

The Fugees |
|
|
|
The Fugees started dissing Tupac in interviews. Wyclef started speaking negatively about Tupac and then the other two joined in. As far as I know Tupac never gave The Fugees any reason to diss him. He did diss them on the track When We Ride On Our Enemies though. |
