The East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry was a feud in the early-mid 1990s between artists and fans of the East Coast and West Coast hip-hop scenes. Seeming focal points of the feud were West Coast-based rapper 2Pac (and his label, Death Row Records), and East Coast-based rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (and his label, Bad Boy Records). During the late 1970s, Hip-hop emerged in the streets of New York City, which would remain the forefront of the genre throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.

  • The East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry was a feud in the early-mid 1990s between artists and fans of the East Coast and West Coast hip-hop scenes. Seeming focal points of the feud were West Coast-based rapper 2Pac (and his label, Death Row Records), and East Coast-based rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (and his label, Bad Boy Records). During the late 1970s, Hip-hop emerged in the streets of New York City, which would remain the forefront of the genre throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. As the 1980s drew to a close, however, several west coast based acts such as Ice-T, MC Hammer and N.W. A began garnering attention. The origins of the conflict were arguably initiated in 1991 when East Coast based rapper Tim Dog released “Fuck Compton,” a scathing diss track aimed at N.W.A. and other Compton artists including Compton's Most Wanted and DJ Quik. N.W.A. never officially responded due to their pending break up, but upcoming West Coast artist Snoop Doggy Dogg would respond on the Dr. Dre track “Fuck wit Dre Day. ” In late 1992, rapper/producer Dr. Dre’s solo debut album, The Chronic, was released on the fledgling Death Row Records. Into the new year, the album went triple platinum. In late 1993, Death Row Records released Doggystyle, the debut album by Dr. Dre protégé and Long Beach-based Snoop Dogg, which also became a multi-platinum opus.
  • East Coast vs. West Coast (Ostküste gegen Westküste) ist die gängigste Bezeichnung für den bekanntesten Beef – eine Fehde im Hip-Hop. Bei der in der Mitte der 1990er-Jahre stattfindenden Auseinandersetzung handelte es sich um eine Rivalität zwischen den Plattenfirmen Bad Boy Entertainment aus New York City und Death Row Records aus Los Angeles sowie den dazugehörigen Rappern und Produzenten. In ihrem Verlauf wurden unter anderem Tupac Shakur und Notorious B.I.G. erschossen. Benannt ist der Konflikt eher unzutreffend nach den Szenen des Eastcoast-Hip-Hops und des Westcoast-Hip-Hops.
