How did east coast vs west coast beef start?

Answer 1

The East Coast vs. West Coast rap beef primarily emerged in the 1990s, fueled by the rivalry between artists from the two coasts, notably Tupac Shakur from the West Coast and The Notorious B.I.G. from the East Coast. Tensions escalated following the 1994 shooting of Tupac in New York, which he perceived as a betrayal by East Coast artists. Media sensationalism and public feuds, particularly between their respective labels, Death Row Records and Bad Boy Records, further intensified the conflict, ultimately culminating in violent outcomes for both artists.
