Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls were two of the most influential rappers of all time, but their West Coast-East Coast rivalry may have cost them their lives.
While working on music, Shakur also found success as an actor, and starred in"Juice,""Poetic Justice" and"Above the Rim."
Shakur became more deeply engrained in the rap rivalry and was shot five times in the lobby of a New York recording studio. He served eight months in prison on a sexual abuse charge, and following his release, committed to a new lifestyle, signed with Suge Knight and Death Row Records. "It ain’t easy being me. ... Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free?″ Shakur rapped on the album, which produced the Grammy-nominated"Dear Mama″ and standout singles"So Many Tears″ and"Temptations.″Shakur was, at first, friends with Biggie when they both hit the rap scene in the early '90s, but the rappers had a falling out after Shakur was shot at a recording studio, thus igniting their feud.
