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:

    “He thought of certain human hearts, their climb
    Through violence into exquisite disciplines
    Of which, as it now appeared, they all expired.”

    “The tumultuous populace of large cities are ever to be dreaded. Their indiscriminate violence prostrates for the time all public authority, and its consequences are sometimes extensive and terrible.”
    —George Washington (1732–1799)

    “Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.”
