Why did 2pac and Ice Cube have beef?

Pac thought Cube was trying to jump on the Pac bandwagon by dissing the East.  Pac should have shown Cube more respect IMO. If you listen to Pac's first record he's trying to be Amerikkka's most...

Cube's beef was more political, about radio djs not playing west coast music. He got so many people heated with the All The Critics In NY song but like the title says it is for the critics. Pac's beefs were more personal and just so happened to be with East Coast Rappers. But I have heard Pac in interviews speak on what Cube was speaking on so I did not understand where there was confusion on his part.

Snoop, Rage, Dre, Cube, Sneed, all had issues with him at one point...

Cube started going after the east coast on westside slaughterhouse, which came out in '95 as a response to Common's I used to Love H.E.R. and  and Masta Ace's Slaughterhouse. Pac even jocked the whole "wesssiiide" thing from Cube. It doesn't make sense that Pac would diss him, considering that Cube was on Strictly For My N.I.G.G.A.Z.

As talented as Pac was, he was definitely losing him mind towards the end.

The booklet says that they were beefing within a year after "Natural Born Killaz"..Remember, 'Pac was in that video at the end aiming a rifle at Cube and Dre,"whom he'd both be beefing with within the next year".....

i thought Tupac made a comment about Ice Cube in an interview basically questioning why Cube had just started representing the West Coast after All Eyez on Me came out. I also heard that Cube had a song after Tupac died rapping "and I'm still living my life, my life, my life in the sunshine" - can't remember if i actually heard that joint or if it was just a rumour.
