Has selling out completely jumped the shark for these rappers?

I'm not really surprised, they had no prior history of any kind of dispute, and they've been in the studio together.

If Pac and Biggie claimed their feud was fake, or Nas/Jay, or Ja Rule/Fiffy, that'd be a big wow.

This? Not as much.

The Pac/Biggie, Westside/NYC feud was legendary. Although Tupac, in my opinion, was on a whole other level. He brought rap to the forefront of pop culture in his time and is one of those rappers that I think people will be listening to 30 years down the road. Shame he died so young, his was one of those characters that went beyond the music like John Lennon and Kurt Cobain. He also would have been HUGE in acting by now, if you ever watched any of his movies, you'd see what I mean.

If Tupac lived today, I wonder how he would have treated with Eminem (who is probably the second most popular rapper in history); Eminem based his story telling rap style off of Tupac, and he practically worships Tupac. Though mostly because of Eminem's relationship with Dre.

Nas and Jay-Z are buddies now, right? Black Republican and all that jazz.

They stopped the hate, but that beef was most definitely real.

Jay-Z ended Prodigy's career.

And of course there's the classic "Ether".

Of course, the feud between Kayne West and Bush still exists. Bush remains to put out a diss to Kayne's bombshell diss.

Oh, and I still like the ICP/Eninem feud.
