Diss Track - Violence

Violence

Further information: East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry

Violence occasionally ensues from long-standing confrontation as a result of things said on record, most notably the shootings of 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. Often, diss tracks are thought to be serious threats against rappers, but with increasing media coverage, it is seen that sometimes diss tracks are meant solely for the promotion of the artists. Notable areas of territorial violence in California include Los Angeles, Compton and Oakland.

Other notable areas with a history of rap feuds include the "Dirty South", Chicago, Sacramento, Memphis, Detroit, Kansas City, and Houston.

Famous quotes containing the word violence:

    “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, but violence takes lives away.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 11:30.

    “He thought of certain human hearts, their climb
    Through violence into exquisite disciplines
    Of which, as it now appeared, they all expired.”
    —James Merrill (b. 1926)

    “We New Yorkers see more death and violence than most soldiers do, grow a thick chitin on our backs, grimace like a rat and learn to do a disappearing act. Long ago we outgrew the need to be blowhards about our masculinity; we leave that to the Alaskans and Texans, who have more time for it.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
