[edit] L.A., L.A.
Isn't the East Coast-West Coast rivalry wider than Death Row and Bad Boy? I think it extends to C-N-N's "L.A., L.A.". Tim Ivorson 11:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No Mention Of...
This article did not mention 2Pac's ties tp the east coast. Not only was he born in New York and lived in Baltimore as a child, but before he died, he tried created Death Row East. Death Row East was a branch of Death Row that was going to include East Coast rappers such as Big Daddy Kane, Wu-Tang Clan and DJ Eric B.
This article does not mention if any beefs such as 2Pac's beef with NaS were resolved before his death.
This article does not mention that Biggie and 2Pac were friends before 1996 (I believe) and that they even did a track together called "Runnin'" when they were alive which was later remixed by Eminem fotr the soundtrack of Pac's movie Resurrection.
[edit] Needs A Clean Up
This whole page is very messy. The issue of the rivalry are not well set out, nor is the background. For instance many people in the west coast felt that new york, particularly the critics, never gave their artists the respect they gave east coast act. The 2pac/Biggie issue just broke the camel's back. Furthermore I think this stub could be expanded to look at the wider implications of the feud that exist to this day.
[edit] Nas and 2Pac
From what I remembered, 'Pac assumed Nas dissed him on "The Message", when he said "Fake thug, no love, you get the slug", not from a freestyle. Pac and Nas did reslove their fued before his death, but he would die days later, making it impossible to remove "Bomb First" and "Against All Odds".
I'm going to add this info, and add the respective sources as well.
[edit] NPOV
There seems to be a slight favoring of East Coast (Reffering to Notorious B.I.G as Biggie through the article), I think someone should take a good look at the article soon. I would but i'm pushed for time just now

[edit] An edit
Edited a few of the blurbs about which rappers were involved. For instance, it was 2Pac's anti-East Coast and calling out of East Coast rappers in interviews that led to Cool J's verse in the "I Shot Ya" remix, which is one battle 2Pac was supposedly told not to pursue, as LL's battle record was legendary. I've edited a few others for accuracy, as there can be biases in these types of articles. ThePacMan 23:57, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] East-West differences
It would be nice if this article would discuss some more of the East-West differences beyond simply the geography of where the artist was from or the label that was located in each place. Could discuss differences prevailing in styles or traditions, affiliations...
