Rappers Biggie Smalls (aka "Notorious B.I.G.") and Tupac Shakur were on good terms until 1994, when Tupac was shot five times in the lobby of Manhattan's Quad Studios on his way to visit Biggie, who was recording there.
Tupac survived and accused Biggie and producer Sean "Puffy" Combs of arranging the shooting. After his release from jail on a sexual abuse charge a year later, he signed with Death Row Records, whose shady kingpin Suge Knight had his own grudge against Combs.
The feud soon escalated into a full scale war, with the two ex-friends recording songs full of insults and thinly veiled threats. Murders of associates occurred around them and each blamed the other's entourages for the killings.
Finally, in 1996, Tupac was shot and killed after attending a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas. Six months later, while attending a party in Los Angeles, Biggie Smalls was fatally hit in a drive-by shooting.
Although theories continue to abound, no one has ever been brought to justice for either killing.
