Within a short time, it was reported that many of the rappers had developed individual crushes and were engaging in trying to outdo each other even at death. The first complicated case involved Notorious B.I.G and Tupac (Icons of Hip Hop 23-67).

With the exclamations and work of the media, the two sections of the city in the East Coast and West Coast were not left in the creation of separations. Artists from the West Coast engaged in competition and rivalry with those from the East Coast.

Many rappers released musical genres that demanded immediate support from the public in order to outdo those form their opponents. Hammer engaged in feuds with several rappers.

Less deaths are released today because of increased awareness and creativity involved by the musicians (Lucas 43).
