East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry The East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry was a feud between artists and fans of the East Coast hip hop and West Coast hip hop scenes in the United States, especially from the mid to late 1990s. Focal points of the feud were West Coast-based rapper Tupac Shakur (and his Los Angeles-based label, Death Row Records), and East Coast-based rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (and his New York-based label, Bad Boy Records), who were both fatally shot following drive-by shootings by unknown assailants in 1996 and 1997, respectively.
Me Against the World Me Against the World is the third studio album by American hip hop artist 2Pac. It was released March 14, 1995 on the Interscope Records label. Drawing lyrical inspiration from his impending prison sentence, troubles with the police, and poverty, the record is described as 2Pac's most introspective album. Steve Huey of AllMusic noted that with "Me Against the World", the rapper became markedly more "confessional", "reflective", and "soul-baring".
