east west beef not media created?
Tupac was from NY and proud af for it too .
What does tupac have to do with east coast/west coast beef?
You just showed how young you are, because the shyt started before Pac started being known, but it was just dissing. It just escalated with him, around 94/95. Even Luke talks about how the south was treated by NYC artists. The fact that people try to put it on Vibe magazine shows how people don't take responsibility when shyt gets out of control, and they lose, then blame someone else. That's why I take history that's told with a grain of salt, too many people lie, and others just agree, that doesn't mean it's true.
It also shows how you reap what you sew, because both of those regions are being emulated even in NYC. NYC is not even seen as a place to go if you want to make it in hip hop. I remember when it was. I remember seeing people from out of town come to NYC to start their careers, now its ATL or L.A.! NYC isn't even a thought anymore.
I think the NYC hate also spread because people from NYC used to act arrogant when they went out of town, and that also put people off. I was used to going down south since a kid, so I always got love because I showed interest in others, but I seen a lot of NYC people not do that, and just dis on the low. Once other rappers who weren't from NYC started popping, it was a wrap for us, and the more arrogant we got, the more the hate grew. Of course we would never be out the shyt, but its nothing like it used to be!
Listen to Slick Rick dissing west coast in this 1989. I think he was talking about "Ice-t" who got booed at the Apollo, but I'm not sure, someone in the comments implied it was "Too short". Slick Rick was on some other shyt, though, he really thought he was a King, and people were peasants. I met him, and saw it myself! Sick Rick was the man, though
