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 violence of love is as much to be dreaded as that of hate.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood. This is, in fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The art of living is to function in society without doing violence to one’s own needs or to the needs of others. The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
