Who's Dissing Who? When Tupac was shot in New York in 1994, he accused the Notorious B.I.G and Bad Boy for setting it up. Tupac and his group Tha Outlawz did a song called "Hit 'Em Up" where he dissed Biggie, saying "you claim to be a player, but I fucked yo wife" and he also took a few shots at Mobb Deep. Tupac is known for his enemies. C. Delores Sucker, sorry, Tucker, a woman active in a group against gangsta rap, sued Tupac since he had among other things rapped about her on the album "All Eyez On Me", saying things like "Delores Tucker, you's a muthafucka, instead of help a nigga you destroy a brotha". She claimed that her sex life had suffered by this, that she no longer had sex with her husband. There was also a rumor going around saying that Tupac and the Outlawz did a song, in which Tupac's chorus was "We Know Who Shot Big Poppa" based on the Lox's tribute to Biggie, "We'll Always Love Big Poppa". Jeru the Damaja has also attacked Biggie Smalls and Junior M.A.F.I.A., the song "You Playin' Yoself" was a response to "Player's Anthem" and other similar songs. Tupac's fellow Death Row Records inmate, J-Flex, wrote a song based on the Dr. Dre song "Been There, Done That" where he rapped about Dre taking a free ride on him, that he had written some of Dre's songs, but not gotten any credit nor money for it. The song is called "Who Been There, Who Done That?" and is on the Death Row Greatest Hits album. Another one of Dr Dre's songs is "East Coast West Coast Killas", where he teamed up with NAS, and a few others, to do a sort of a "coastal reunion". Then the brothers Gangsta Dresta and B.G. Knocc Out from Eazy-E's camp, took the song and did a hit at Tha Dogg Pound, called "Dogg Pound Killas". The chorus of the song goes like "EC WC killas" but instead it is "Dat Nigga Daz killa, Kurupt killa, Tha Dogg Pound killa," and so on. The song "New York, New York" which Tha Dogg Pound did with Snoop, upset some eastcoasters, Tragedy, Capone-N-Noreaga and Mobb Deep. Even though Snoop claimed it wasn't a dis at New York, Mobb recorded their response, "L.A., L.A." saying "L.A. L.A./big city of dreams/but everything in L.A. ain't always what it seems/you might get fooled if you come from out of town/cuz we're comin' from Queens and gets down". In the video for "New York, New York", buildings and New Yorkers are being crushed by a giant Snoop Doggy Dogg, and in the video the eastcoasters did, Dogg Pound look-alikes are being tortured, and then suffocated by a plastic bag that say "I Love N.Y." before Daz' body gets thrown of the 59th St. Bridge. NAS's group the Firm, consisted of NAS, AZ, Foxy Brown and Cormega, until Cormega got replaced by Nature. Because of that he wrote the song "Fuck NAS and Nature". The whole thing between Canibus and LL started when Canibus came up to LL in the studio and said to him, "L, I wanna get a tattoo just like yours." LL answered "Nah shorty, you should get your own thing." Canibus continued, "Nah I wanna get a mic on my arm just like yours." LL repeated "Nah shorty you should get your own thing." A couple of days later Canibus walked into the studio and said his verse from "4,3,2,1": "Red, where the squad at/Meth, where the gods at/L, is that a mic on your arm, let me borrow that" Then LL wrote the rhyme he says on the same song, but he made Canibus change his verse, but LL didn't change his, cause if Canibus changed his, nobody would know that LL was referring to him. But people started putting out tapes with the original version, the tapes began to circle in the underground circuit and people realized that they were referring to each other. That's when Canibus decided to do a response track, with the help of Wyclef Jean (from the Fugees) who produces his music and basically manages him. It was Wyclef's idea to do a response track, and the video was also his idea. The track is called "2nd Round Knockout", and Canibus also gets help from Mike Tyson. And the beef goes on. LL did a response track called "The Ripper Strikes Back", where he gets help from Tyson's worst enemy, Evander Holyfield. Now Wyclef has stepped in with his own response track, defending Canibus. The song is called "What's Clef Got To Do With It?" and the chorus is based on the Tina Turner song "What's Love Got To Do With It".
