Beef: After being shot five times and robbed in a New York recording studio in November 1994, 2Pac accused Bad Boy Records head Puffy Combs and label star Notorious B.I.G. of ordering the attack, setting the East Coast-West Coast feud on its fatal course.
Dis: "First off, fuck your bitch and the clique you claim/ West side when we ride come equipped with game/ You claim to be a player, but I fucked your wife/ We bust on Bad Boys, niggas fuck for life/ Plus Puffy tryin' ta see me weak hearts I rip/ Biggie Smalls and Junior M.A.F.I.A. some mark-ass bitches."
