The 1995 Source Awards were held at the Paramount Theater in New York City on August 3, 1995. The awards show was one of the most infamous events in the history of hip-hop. The show escalated tensions between the East and West Side hip-hop communities, thereby likely catalysing the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls within the following two years. Televised nationally, the show also worsened America’s moral panic about the influence of rap and hip-hop on its youth.
