The biggest hip-hop feuds of all time
Nicki Minaj reckons she can take Jay-Z but will their war go down in history?
- Boogie Down Productions vs. Juice Crew: The fierce rivalry between the two collectives from 1985 onwards set the benchmark for future hip-hop feuds. Known as The Bridge Wars, the beef arose from a dispute over the true birthplace of hip-hop; whether it was BDP's South Bronx or Juice Crew's Queensbridge. Over the ensuing years, a string of strong-worded tracks were released from both sides, vehemently deriding their rivals. In 2007, the feud reached an unlikely end when BDP's KRS-One and Juice Crew's Marley-Marl recorded the album together 'Hip-Hop Lives'.
