Article Evaluation

Content Everything in the article is related and led up to the topic. However, I was thrown off by the fact that towards the end of the article, a rapper named Tim Dog was brought up who had made a diss track that would ignite hip-hop fueds but he was not mentioned before in the article. All the information mentioned is important, but I think that they should only bring up artists that would have something to do with the hip-hop fueds later on.

Tone The article does a good job of staying neutral to the binary measures. They use general phrases such as "it seemed," "it contained," and "they decided" to show that their information is solely based on what they know. When the article discussed the beef between 2Pac vs. The Notorious B.I.G., they included more information on 2Pac's death than The Notorious B.I.G.'s.

Editing an Article: Week 8 On September 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was shot in a drive-by shooting at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas, Nevada.[32] He was taken to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, where he died six days later. In 2002, Chuck Phillips wrote the article "Who Killed Tupac Shakur?"[33] reporting that, "the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier ... Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police discounted Anderson as a suspect and interviewed him only once, briefly. He was later killed in an "unrelated gang shooting" nearly 2 years later on May 29, 1998. The Phillips article and its follow-up, "How Vegas Police Probe Floundered in Tupac Shakur Case"[34] also implicated East Coast rappers including Biggie Smalls.

Six months after Tupac's death, on March 9, 1997, The Notorious B.I.G. was killed in a drive-by shooting by an unknown assailant in Los Angeles, California. '''Moments leading up to his death, he was leaving a music industry party in Los Angeles. People stirred up the idea that his death was a vengeful response to Tupac's death. Nonetheless, both of their deaths at one point had been traced back to the police because their music would inform the listeners about police harassment against black people. Interestingly, the hands of the police were not always clean - there was recently controversy over the Los Angeles Police Department's involvement in the shooting deaths of Tupac and Biggie, as well as the NYPD's negligence in the murder of Jam Master Jay. This speculation over police involvement only began to bring more questions to Notorious B.I.G.'s mother. The night that Biggie was shot, he and Combs were both under FBI surveillance, but the agents who were reported to be a few cars behind Biggie didn't pursue the shooter or even make their presence known. As easy as it is to blame Knight and Combs for their deaths because of their rivalry, it also should be brought to light that LAPD cops have left burdens that will remain within the victim's families.'''

In 2018, Eminem released the diss track Killshot in which Eminem makes reference to Diddy being responsible for putting "the hit out that got 'Pac killed."
