.:: Tupac Shakur Enemies

.:: Badboy Records
|
 |

All the
beef was sparked by the shooting in the Manhattan Studio in New York.
Pac claimed and told an interviewer of Vibe magazine that it was setup
by Biggie (Notorious BIG) and Puffy (Sean Puffy Combs) (Puffy being the
mastermind). Basically, Pac had serious beef with Bad Boy Records and
was clear to show his anger in his lyrics - "If you wanna be down with
Bad Boy, then fuck you too!.."
.:: Notorious BIG
|
 |

They were once good friends & Pac was
claimed to be the source of Biggie's fame and riches. Tupac would do
performances with BIG to assist BIG in his struggling career to be known
as a rap star. When Pac was shot in the Manhattan Studio in NY, he
claimed that Biggie was aware that the shooting would take place, but
failed to give him full information. Their friendship was later worsened
when BIG released an album that was remarkably similar to Pac's upcoming
album, which resulted in Tupac re-recording the entire new album. Pac
also mentioned that Biggie was "rapping about my life" when he was
rapping about the cash, jewelry and assets he did not really have.
.:: P.Diddy
|
 |

Sean "Puffy" Combs aka P. Diddy
Tupac had problems with Puffy as he believed he was the mastermind
behind the NY shooting. Other (and a more simpler) reasons was because
he was down with Bad Boy Records, and he was "fake" or unoriginal as he
did not make his own lyrics or music. Some words of retaliation include:
"Puffy weaker than a fucking block I'm running you nigga..." - Hitemup
.:: C. Delores Tucker
|
 |

C. Delores Tucker A black woman that was
offended by rap and tried to ban it's music or put major censorships on
it. Pac mentioned her name in "Wonda they call U bitch" - "Dear Ms.
Delores Tucker, keep stressin' me fuckin' with a muthafuckin' mind, I
figured you wanted to know, you know, why we call them hoes bitches, and
maybe this might help you understand it ain't personal, strictly
business baby, strictly business." She sued Tupac's estate claiming that
the track (although released a few years ago) ruined her sex life (don't
ask me how).
.:: Jay-Z
|
 |

Jay-Z was the first to diss Tupac when he
released the track titled "Brooklyn's finest" (with Biggie also dissing
him in the same track). Jay-Z had a close relationship with Bad-Boy
records and with Mobb Deep. As a retaliation, 2Pac released "Bomb First"
on his Makaveli album, dissing Jay-Z and others.
.:: LL Cool J
|
 |

Tupac praised LL Cool J in his older album
"Me against the world" on the track "Old School". But the beef commenced
when LL decided to take Mobb Deep's side with the recording of the track
"I shot ya", in order to create his "hardcore" image that he had lost.
Once again, a war was created between the two.
.:: Chino XL
|
 |

Chino dissed many people including Whitney
Houston, Eddie Murphy and of course Tupac. In keeping up with his
tradition, Tupac retaliated: "..Chino XL, fuck you too. All you mother
fuckers, fuck you too!" - Hitemup. It is believed that Chino XL's
comments was only there to create publicity and make him a well known
rapstar, but this scheme was obvious, so Tupac didn't mention his name
too many times as this would only create a name for Chino XL. Chino
later said his beef with Tupac was just a lyrical thing
.:: Nas
|
 |

Tupac didnt' like the fact that Nas ripped
Pac's beats such as the track for "All Eyez On Me". Nas once said the
beef was squashed right before Pac died.
.:: Mobb Deep
|
 |

With the recording of "New York, New York"
with Tha Dogg Pound on the album titled, "Dogg Food", the heat between
the two rappers was bought to light. Other influences included the fact
that Mobb Deep released a song titled "Thug Life, we still livin' it"
after he wrote an article about quitting Thug Life. Mobb Deep was
believed that he said alot of things in his music that he did not carry
out. "Oh yeah Mobb Deep, you wanna fuck with us? You Little young ass
mutha fuckas, don't one of you niggas got sickle-cell or something? You
fucking with me, nigga ? You fuck around and catch a seizure or a
heart-attack. You better back the fuck up before you get smacked the
fuck up, that how we do it on our side.." - Hitemup
.:: Dr Dre
|
 |

Tupac disliked the way Dre left Death Row
and the beef was compunded when Dre failed to turn up at Snoop's court
trial, which Pac saw as an insult to Snoop and the entire Deathrow
record label. Pac also claimed that Dre wasn't working hard enough while
recieving alot of cash while he was with Death Row records. Dre however,
didn't seem to want to cause any trouble and did not diss Pac in any
way.
