Tupac Shakur vs. The Notorious BIG: The biggest and bloodiest beef in the history of rap ended tragically with the murder of Tupac in 1996 and Biggie a year later. The West Coast vs. East Coast rivalry between the one-time friends was bitter and hard fought. It started when Shakur accused Sean Combs and Biggie of having advanced knowledge of his attempted murder in Manhattan in 1994 which left Tupac him with 5 gunshot wounds. Denying it, Biggie perhaps mockingly recorded 'Who Shot Ya? to which Tupac responded in 1996 with the abrasive 'Hit 'Em Up'. On it he claimed he had sex with Biggie's partner Faith Evans and poked fun at his friend Prodigy for having sickle-cell anaemia. Their unsolved murders have been the subject to conspiracy theories ever since.
