Rap has evolved since Eazy-E and Dr. Dre but we shouldn't forget where it came from. Our most famous rappers would be Tupac Shakur and Christopher " B.I.G Notorious" Wallace and their dead. I'm here to give you an insight on how gang violence influence the major rap feud between B.I.G and Tupac.

{The most important to understanding the whole situation would be the situations history. The whole Biggie and Tupac beef started when Tupac got shot on his way up to Quad Studios in November 30th 1994 at approximately 12:20 a.m. He got shot 5 times. The rumor was that since Tupac decided to turn down the offer to join BadBoy Records he was setup. But before all of this happened Tupac was apart of Death Row Records which resided on the west coast and originally had beef with BadBoy Records because they were East Coast. The CEO "Suge" Knight was highly involved with the Blood Piru gang making fear gain him respect. While P.Diddy and junior M.A.F.I.A has never been accused or affiliated with gangs. }

Marion "Suge" Knight played a major role in the rap feud between Tupac Shakur and Christopher "B.I.G" Wallace gang wise. As a youngster growing up near Compton, Suge Knight became one of the toughest and most well respected Blood Piru gang member in the metropolitan area of L.A. But gang banging wasn't the only thing Suge Knight was good at. He also was a very good football player. After becoming very successful in football and possibly having a great career in it, he became a honorary blood member. Although, Suge Knight gave up the NFL to be a CEO at Death Row Records along with Dr. Dre. Soon after becoming CEO he allowed his friends from the Bloods to hang around his office.

Death Row Records also had many ties to gangs which contriubuted to the major rap feud between Tupac and B.I.G. One of the male rappers, Snoop Dogg admitted in a video that he has alot of Bloods that he considers friends in Death Row. Also many LAPD officers like Rafeal (Ray) Perez worked with Death Row were believed to be Bloods. Lastly, FBI files also state that the LAPD officers that were Bloods were also major contributors to the rap feud.

Gang violence contributes to Biggie and Tupac's major rap feud because when Biggie went to L.A he asked for protection from the Crips against the Bloods. Biggie needed protection against the bloods because when he had arrived in L.A he had began receiving death threats and he began to become concerned. According to the Notorious C.O.P book Biggie had connections with a guy who was connected with the crips. In addition according to thedailybeast.com, Biggie also had hired many Crips as security.

Gang violence contributed to the major rap feud between Biggie and Tupac because Suge Knight was a very well respected member of the bloods, Biggie had asked fro protection against the bloods from the Crips and, Death Row Records was composed of a lot of bloods. These factors contributed to both the rap feud and the untimely death of Hip-Hop's greatest Tupac Shakur and Christopher 'B.I.G' Wallace.
