| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. "The Hip Hop version of the Cuban Missile Crisis" is what media outlets were calling the ferocious East Coast West Coast rivalry of the 1990's. This book seeks to embody the intensity of this fatal feud that captivated the attention of millions of rap fans. Readers will be taken on an in depth tour of the two primary figures of the rivalry, Tupac and Biggie, as well as their respective labels, Bad Boy Records and Death Row Records. Furthermore, this book also addresses the relationship between the music of these iconic rappers and the chilling continuance of their unsolved murders. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
