Hip hop rivalries: "Hip hop rivalries
Feuds and rivalries have always existed in hip hop, which arose in 1970s United States. Originally, it came to block parties, where DJs would play records and isolate the percussion breaks for the dancing masses. Soon, MCs began speaking over the beats, usually simply exhorting the audience to continue dancing. Eventually, MCs began incorporating more varied and stylistic speech, and focused on introducing themselves, shouting out to friends in the audience, and boasting about their own skills, and criticizing their rivals'. While this is often done in good humor, it occasionally develops into offstage feuds that occasionally become violent. Many observers have claimed that the media feeds on rivalries for headlinings and escalates otherwise minor conflicts, especially in the case of the East Coast-West Coast rivalry."
