West coast East coast historic Clash in the United States

This is a picture of two of the biggest rapper in the history, on the left we have Tupac Amaru Shakur called 2pac and on the right Christopher Wallace known as The Notorious B.I.G.
At the beginning of their carreer in 1993, those two rappers were friends and used to make songs together but Tupac didn't really appreciate the fact that Notorious B.I.G began to be as famous as him. Furthermore, Tupac hated BIG's producer and friend, P.Diddy and his production label : Bad Boys Records. The signature of Tupac with the label of the west coast Death row, this event sounds like the beginning of the war between them. In 1994 both of them made clash against the label they don't belong, it's the west coast east cost clash. One of the most famous song of tupac is the clash titled "HIT' EM UP".
This war will end badly because Tupac will die in 1996 and BIG in 1997, both of them has been murdered.

The beginning

The most mediatized clash in the french rap began between the two rapper on the left, Booba and Rohff. They always hated each other while Booba and La fouine where friends and did a song together in 2007. In frebruary all began with a song of Booba that talks about Rohff saying he is reported missing in the rap world. Rohff answered a week after with a violent song in which he insulted Booba.
Then, in one of his song La fouine made something called a punchline ( in Rap music it's a sentence considered as amazing) telling basically that everybody enjoy listening Rohff's clash.
It was enough for Booba that answered with a clash for both of them and that's how the 3 rappers clash began.

An infantile clash for glory and money


Rohff or the lost rapper


The third and last main character of this clash is known as Rohff. He is also a french rapper and his real name is Housni MkouboiMkouboi born in Comoros immigrated in 1985 to France living in Vitry-Sur-Seine. His nickname Rohff stands for "Rimeur Original Hardcore Flow Fluide". Rohff began rapping around 1994 and in 1998, he participated in the production of the album Première Classe. He is a member of the MafiaK'1Fry, a group of rappers from Val-de-Marne composed. But it was the single "Qui est l'exemple", released in the spring of 2002, that gave him his big breakthrough, selling roughly 750,000 copies. It also became his debut on the major national radio stations in France. Rohff is a good friend of French footballer Karim Benzema. However, his fans are still waiting a new album because since 2008, he had not released any other albums: they nickname him the lost of Rap Music.
