Hey guys, today we are gonna be talking about the most brutal diss track responses
that I’ve heard.
So, this is CDTVProductions, you can follow me on Twitter
under that name, and let’s look at the most ruthless diss track responses in rap history.
Pusha T “Story Of Adidon”:
Let’s start with the most recent one and the reason why I made this.
Now this beef has a bit of a history, but it really kicked off in 2018 when Pusha threw
a few shots at Drake on Infrared, Drake fired back with a full diss track called Duppy Freestyle,
then Pusha quickly responded with this song.
I was expecting something hard hitting from Pusha, but I didn’t know we were gonna get
something this brutal.
There’s a couple obvious things covered in here like Drake being rather light skinned
(although I’m sure that’s changed after this intense grilling Push gave him), but
when Pusha talked about Drake hiding a child and being a deadbeat father, that’s when
this one got intense.
Now let’s keep in mind that the whole Drake’s hidden baby with a pornstar thing is unconfirmed,
but it doesn’t seem like it’s untrue at all right now.
The best thing about this track in my opinion though is how literally everything about it
ties in to dissing Drake, every single element of it.
The cover for the song shows a genuine picture of Drake in blackface, which Pusha references
in the lyrics.
The instrumental for the song is The Story Of OJ by Jay Z, an instrumental which samples
a song that talks about the struggles of 4 black women with different skin tones.
Everything here has a purpose, right down to the smallest details.
This is how diss tracks should be done if you wanna hit someone where it hurts, and
Pusha’s confident, almost cocky delivery just adds even more sting to the lyrics.
The only thing that made me uncomfortable were the lines about 40, Drake’s main producer,
having a disease which could very well be life-threatening to him, but I loved everything
else on here.
Apparently the beef is over now, but we can’t really complain when we got a track like this
out of it.
Drake “Back to Back”:
Now let’s take a look at one where Drake came out much, much better on the other side.
This whole thing started when on Twitter, Meek Mill accused Drake of spitting a ghostwritten
verse on the song RICO, a song that Drake featured on with Meek.
Drake released Charged Up in retaliation, a song which Meek Mill would call “Baby
Lotion soft”.
After Meek tweeted a few more things, Drake didn’t wait before hitting him with a response
again, this time with the song in question, Back to Back.
Naturally he shot down the claims that he doesn’t write many of his songs, but the
response doesn’t get brutal until Drake says this.
Referencing the fact that Meek was the opening act for Nicki’s Pinkprint tour, instead
of being the headlining act himself.
Everyone knows that rap is filled with men who like to be portrayed as tough, so when
someone suggests that their woman is wearing the pants in the relationship, it’s sure
to sting a fair bit.
He even says Nicki will inevitably break up with Meek, which did happen around a year
and a half later.
Drake continues to rap about how Meek is only really responding over Twitter, and overall
just put out a pretty hard hitting response with this.
The aftermath of this was bad for Meek too, he was the man taking L’s every single day
before Russ took that role over from him, and that’s all because of this diss from
Drake.
In a weird way though, Meek going to jail recently was enough to get everyone back on
his side, and make people put this whole thing to rest, so he’s definitely making a comeback
compared to how he was viewed in 2015.
Jadakiss “Checkmate”:
This whole thing would start when 50 released the
song Piggy Bank, which took shots at Jadakiss.
This is apparently because 50 was made that Jada was helping out Ja Rule, an artist who
50 Cent had a well documented beef with.
Obviously, Jadakiss wasn’t just gonna sit back and take these lines, so he released
a bombshell of a diss track titled Checkmate shortly after.
This was a very solid diss track, but the heftiest blows came when Kiss repeatedly brought
up 50 being shot 9 times, and he says here that he doesn’t think 50 would even be famous
without that event occurring.
Not only that, but he questions 50’s manhood here.
I mean when we hear that he got shot 9 times and survived, we think that’s pretty insane
and admirable right?
Well not Jada.
He states on here that he thinks 50 shouldn’t be getting praise for getting shot at when
he didn’t shoot back.
On top of all this, Kiss says if he sends a hitman after 50, he won’t be so lucky
this time.
It’s a very gritty and raw diss track, that brings a lot of reality into it, and I think
Jada showed here that he shouldn’t be messed with.
I mean, this is how he responded to being dissed in a couple of lines.
Safe to say they had more of a back and forth after this, but Checkmate is the one that
stood out to me the most.
Remy Ma “Shether”:
And finally, we’ll close things off with a bit of beef from some female rap artists.
This one was between Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj, and would start to pick up notoriety when
Nicki had a few choice words for Remy on the song Make Love.
As I’m sure you know already by the subject of this video and the track we’re talking
about, Remy clapped back.
And she did so pretty viciously, remixing the song Ether by Nas, which is something
you definitely don’t wanna spit weak bars over.
And she did not disappoint.
She starts off slowly, poking fun at Nicki’s supposedly fake ass, then picks it up a bit
more by bringing Nicki’s failed relationships into the mix, and then build it all the way
up to a crescendo when Remy talks about Nicki Minaj’s brother facing child rape charges.
Despite these charges, Nicki still supported her brother and reportedly paid $30,000 for
his wedding.
And guess what?
These lines are even more impactful and ruthless now, as Jelani Maraj, Nicki’s brother, has
been found guilty of sexually assaulting his 11 year old step daughter.
Remy Ma brought that into the beef, and it probably stings even more now with the knowledge
that Nicki did pay $30,000 for a child rapists wedding.
Obviously it’s unlikely she believed the charges against him, but the fact still stands.
That, is pretty brutal.
