As for beef.. Pac did not insert that into hip hop atb all. Rather he utilized the long standing tradition and format of beef to pursue his vendetta against bite for the percieved betrayal. In a way the east coast west coast beef was the climax in hip hop beefs, but certainly not the beginning.
If you have any interest in hip hop history I strongly suggest you check out the old documentary titled Beef, vols 1 and 2.
Yes the narrator is corny but there's lot good content here, and commentary by real hip hop legends spliced throughout.
