Tupac and Biggie, like Zora and Langston, had been friends. His beloved East Coast hip-hop scene - or at least his label, Bad Boy - was engaged in a protracted verbal war with the West Coast and Tupac Shakur. hit his peak, a larger and more serious beef had taken hold. It was a lethal feud that exploded into murder before anyone could really register what was happening.īut by the time Notorious B.I.G. The beef between rappers Tupac Shakur (left) and The Notorious B.I.G. There may have been genuine animosity in some beefs, but for the most part they were artistic jousts, provoked when someone said something on some stuff, or when one artist committed the sin of biting another’s style. LL Cool J made his name largely by taking on other rappers: Kool Moe Dee, Ice-T and too many others to count. His disputes lived on vinyl, where rappers had made sport of dissing each other for years. Notorious B.I.G., of course, knew about beef. answered the question from a hip-hop perspective: “ Beef is when you need 2 gats to go to sleep/Beef is when your moms ain’t safe up in the streets/Beef is when I see you/Guaranteed to be in ICU, one more time.” The play itself wasn’t staged until 1991, long after both principals had passed away. It was a messy dispute that led to both a creative rupture and a death blow to their friendship. Hughes and Hurston had long dreamed of collaborating on a folk play, Mule Bone, which, as Taylor writes, “seemed to draw on all of Zora’s strengths and few of Langston’s.” They worked on the play together and apart and with Thompson. More important was what Thompson was typing. Hurston and Hughes were never romantically involved, but they shared a powerful emotional bond that Hurston guarded fiercely. Other parties were very much involved, from Charlotte Osgood Mason, the elderly white New York doyenne who opened her checkbook for and lavished praise upon writers who fed her infatuation with black primitivism (more on this shortly) to Louise Thompson, a typist who grew close to Hughes, much to Hurston’s chagrin. The break between Hurston and Hughes is an age-old story, defined by driving ambition, hunger for credit and jealousy. Taylor sticks to this particular schism, but it’s hard to read about Hurston and Hughes’ conflict without thinking about other examples of cultural beef, from hip-hop to sports.
Their bond and its fracture is the subject of Yuval Taylor’s new book Zora and Langston: A Story of Friendship and Betrayal. Until their beef, which proved unsquashable. But they shared the same literary mission: to capture the black vernacular on page as a means of reflecting the complexity of the black experience. On the surface they seemed to have little in common: She was the folksy anthropologist, novelist and playwright with a down-home style reflecting her Southern roots.
