NEW YORK CITY - On Nov. 30, 1994, the legendary hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur was attacked in the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan. The evening was uneventful until Tupac, after receiving an invite to record a verse, was confronted by three armed men in the lobby.
They proceeded to rob and shoot him multiple times, leading to severe injuries, including one that grazed his skull.
While the shooting itself was a seminal moment, the subsequent fallout had far-reaching effects on the hip-hop community. The incident sparked a feud that tore the hip-hop community apart, giving rise to the infamous East Coast vs West Coast rivalry. It amplified the perceived danger and hostility within the rap world, ultimately leading to both artists meeting tragic ends – Tupac was gunned down in 1996 and Biggie met a similar fate in 1997.
