Tupac vs. The Notorious B.I.G: Once friends, the relationship between the two rappers turned sour when Tupac was shot five times and robbed of $40,000 in 1994. Surviving the attack, Tupac recorded a series of songs alleging that his former friend had known about the set-up but had chosen not to warn him. With tensions boiling between the east and west coast hip hop communities and diss tracks flying between the two rappers, the feud reached its bloody climax in 1996, with Tupac gunned down in a drive-by shooting and Biggie suffering the same fate some six months later.
