As Tupac was riding on the fakes in the rap game the Outlawz rode right along side of him and made a few enemies of their own.

We're not sure how this beef started nor if it's still going on. Fatal dissed New York rap duo, Capone-N-Noreaga, on the unreleased song, "Niggas In The Streets," which was recorded in 1997 or 1998. On February 13, 2001, Fredro Starr's solo debut LP, Firestarr, was released. It featured "Dyin' 4 Rap (remix)" which featured both Noble and Capone-N-Noreaga.

The October, 2000 issue of the magazine XXL featured an interview with the Outlawz. They said they were angry at Detroit rapper, Marshall "Eminem" Mathers, because they felt he disrespected Tupac on "Marshall Mathers" on his LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, and "Busa Rhyme" on Missy Elliot's LP, Da Real World. On "Outlaw 2000" on Ride Wit Us Or Collide Wit Us Kastro says, "Talking about Britney, faggot," obviously refering to Eminem who dissed pop artist Britney Spears on several songs. The Outlawz and Eminem later squashed their beef.

Kausion used to be signed with Los Angeles rapper Oshea "Ice Cube" Jackson's Lench Mob Records which released their debut single, "What You Wanna Do?" on June 20, 1995 and their debut album, South Central Los Skanless, on October 10. They later left Lench Mob Records due to that they had been cheated outta royalties. In 2000, Gonzoe recorded "Fairytale Gangsta," a song dissing Ice Cube. Ice Cube never replied.

On February 14, 1995, Tupac was sent to Riker's Island to serve up to four and half year in prison for sexual abuse. One of the guards at Riker's Island knew the New York rap duo Mobb Deep. Tupac told the guard to tell them that he had nothing but love for them. However, while Tupac was in prison he did an interview with the magazine Vibe. In the interview Tupac discussed Thug Life and said he was giving it up.

On June 26, Mobb Deep's "Survival Of The Fittest" single was released. On the chorus of the song they said, "Thug Life, we're still living it." When Tupac heard it he took it as a dis. From Riker's Island he called the Outlawz and told them about an upcoming Mobb Deep concert in Atlanta, Georgia where the Outlawz lived. The Outlawz went to the concert and was screaming "Thug Life motherfucker, what's popping?" But Mobb Deep acted like they didn't see them. This just made Tupac and the Outlawz more angry.

On October 12, 1995, Death Row Records, Interscope Records and Time Warner paid a $1,4 million bail to have Tupac released. In return he had to sign a three album deal with Death Row Records. Tupac and the Outlawz flew to Death Row Records in Los Angeles, California and recorded "Hit 'Em Up," probably the most notorious dis song in hip-hop history. It dissed several people in the rap game including Mobb Deep. "Hit 'Em Up" was featured on Tupac's "How Do U Want It" single which was released on June 4, 1996.

On September 7, Tupac was shot four times in a drive-by-shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to University Medical Center where he died a week later. On November 5, Tupac's LP, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, was released. It dissed Mobb Deep on two songs, "Bomb First (My Second Reply)" and "Against All Odds." A lot of people who had beef with Tupac squashed it when he died, but not Mobb Deep. On November 19, Mobb Deep's LP, Hell On Earth, was released. It featured "Drop A Gem On 'Em" in which they dissed Tupac. Since Tupac was dead and couldn't defend himself, the Outlawz recorded several songs dissing Mobb Deep, and since then it's been on!

Tupac and New York rapper Nasir "Nas" Jones met each other at the House Of Blues in Los Angeles, California. Tupac told Nas that he had love for him and that the so-called East Coast/West Coast beef wasn't about him. Instead of telling him what he thought about him in his face, Nas went back home to New York and started talking shit about him behind his back. On July 2, 1996, Nas' LP, It Was Written, was released. It featured "The Message," a song about fake thugs. Since Tupac started that thug thing he took it as a dis. The second single of the LP was "Street Dreams" which had the same production as "All Eyez On Me" on Tupac's double LP, All Eyez On Me.

On September 7, Tupac was shot four times in a drive-by-shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was taken to University Medical Center where he died a week later. On November 5, 1996, Tupac's LP, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, was released. It dissed Nas on "Bomb First (My Second Reply)" and "Against All Odds." Tupac accused Nas for biting his style. There's an unreleased song by Nas in which he says, "Rolling over this Makaveli." It's unknown if it was recorded before or after Tupac's death.

After Tupac's death Nas never dissed him in public. He lied and said him and Tupac were like brothers. On April 6, 1999, Nas' LP, I Am..., was released. It featured "We Will Survive," a tribute to Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G. in which he said he couldn't believe his ears when he heard his name on "Against All Odds." On April 17, 1999, Mobb Deep's LP, Murda Muzik, was released. The second single, "It's Mine," featured Nas. They're dissing Tupac on the whole song without mentioning his name. On the chorus Nas says, "Y'all need to giveit up, we don't give a fuck, what y'all niggas want? Thug Life is mine." The Outlawz dissed both Nas and Mobb Deep several times because of that song.

When Tupac was circa 15-year-old he visited his Godfather, Geronimo Ji Jaga Pratt, who was serving time in San Quintin for murder. He told Tupac about the Black Panther Party's policy, ride or die. Back in the day they used to patroll the police and if you're having a gun, you should use it, if not, then you shouldn't have it with you. That's what the policy said.

On "Hail Mary," the third single of The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, Tupac mentioned ride or die. He was the first rapper to ever mention it. In 1998, New York-based, Ruff Ryders Entertainment, used ryde or die as their slogan. On March 27, 2001, Tupac's double LP, Until The End Of Time, was released. On "All Out" Napoleon said, "I ride or die while these other fag niggas be biting this," obviously towards Ruff Ryders.

On May 27, 1996, Los Angeles rapper, Xzibit's, "Paparazzi" single was released. On it he talked about fake rappers that was only in the rap game for the fame and money. On November 5, Tupac's LP, The 7 Day Theory, was released. On "Bomb First (My Second Reply)" E.D.I. said, "Got just one question for that nigga that made 'Paparazzi,' if you ain't in the rap game for the motherfucking cash, man, then what's your purpose?" The Outlawz and Xzibit later squashed their beef. Xzibit is in the "Still Ballin' (remix)" video by Yukmouth featuring the Outlawz and Young Noble and Xzibit have recorded a song which has yet to be released.
