The history of hip hop

The history of hip hop can be traced back to the 1970s when DJs in the Bronx began playing R&B and disco songs over the course of their sets. They would often add their own unique rhyming lyrics to the music, which helped to create the distinctive sound of hip hop. As the popularity of hip hop grew, so did the number of artists and groups who began to experiment with this new style of music. By the 1980s, hip hop had become a mainstream genre, with artists such as Run-DMC and Public Enemy gaining widespread popularity. Today, hip hop is one of the most popular genres in the world, with artists such as Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake topping charts around the globe.

The biggest hip hop beefs of all time

Hip hop has always been a competitive genre, with artists constantly fighting for supremacy. This has led to some of the biggest and most well-known beefs in music history. Here are some of the biggest hip hop beefs of all time.

The Notorious B.I.G. vs Tupac
One of the most famous beefs in music history, this rivalry started when Tupac accused Biggie and Puff Daddy of being involved in a shooting that left him wounded. The rivalry escalated from there, with the two artists dissing each other in their music. This culminated in the murders of both Tupac and Biggie, which are still unsolved to this day.

Jay-Z vs Nas
This beef was started when Nas released his song “Ether”, which took aim at Jay-Z and Roc-A-Fella Records. Jay-Z responded with his own diss track, “Takeover”, which led to a back-and-forth between the two artists. The beef was eventually squashed when they performed together at Jay-Z’s concerts in 2006.

50 Cent vs Ja Rule
This beef started when 50 Cent took aim at Ja Rule and Murder Inc Records on a mixtape track. Ja Rule responded with his own diss track, “Loose Change”. The feud escalated from there, with the two artists exchanging a number of diss tracks over the years. The beef was finally put to rest in 2012 when 50 Cent and Ja Rule performed together at a concert.

Drake vs Meek Mill
This beef started when Meek Mill accused Drake of using ghostwriters for his songs. Drake responded with the diss track “Charged Up”, followed by the more scathing “Back to Back”. Meek Mill response tracks failed to gain traction, and Drake ultimately emerged victorious from this feud.
