counting down our picks for the top 10
rap diss tracks ready thank you so
making it quickly key so take in it for
this list we've chosen our songs based
on their creativity ability to or
success in disrespecting their target
and their overall impact 10 back down
fitty sense at the rise of his career
fit he sought to take down ja Rule one
of the most successful rappers of the
early noughties
stylistically he proved that he was way
harder than his foe with his rhymes
coming out like bullets especially when
compared to Ja Rule's laid-back tone and
singing voice it wasn't the first time
fiddy had mentioned John a song but in
back down he answered the question of
who was the better rapper number 9 lost
ones Lauryn Hill at the Battle of being
a female MC is proving yourself to
critics and getting respect from peers
in the male-dominated genre but that has
never been a problem for miss Hill
with this track the former Fugees member
proved she could be both hard and poetic
while she gave warning to those who
doubted her capabilities lost ones is
reportedly aimed at former bandmate
Wyclef Jean with whom he'll fell out due
to creative and personal issues eight
kick in the door
the notorious b.i.g no stranger to the
diss track biggie had many under his
belt case in point the infamous who shot
you but it's this one from life after
death that serves as the ultimate disc
[Music]
big holds nothing back aiming at various
targets including Raekwon and Ghostface
Killah but it's his lines aimed at nas
over the king of New York status that
hit the hardest he goes as far as to say
that other New York rappers aren't
anywhere on his level and likens nas to
his child
[Music]
number seven the bitching you comment
this with a attitude to the time with a
few in I used to love her common
chronicles the fall of hip hop social
message as a product of the West Coast's
gangster rap style West Coast rapper Ice
Cube didn't like his message and thus a
feud was born not one to back down
comment attacks ice cubes credibility
stating that his latest songs were weak
and none of his beats were original in
the [ __ ] in East Coast West Coast none
of the above it's a far cry from his
usual peace-loving songs but now we know
Commons not one to be messed with
[Music]
number six the bridge is over Boogie
Down Productions one of the first of its
kind this track has become a standard
example for diss song bridges over in
the bridges over PDP took one of the
least intimidating songs Billy Joel's
it's still rock and roll to me and
sampled the beat to this New York
rappers MC Shan Marley Marl and the Jew
scripts ready
thank you so making it quickly keeps on
taking it
[Music]
mck rs1 calls out each rapper by name to
the fun-loving beat and this creates an
interesting parallel to his claims that
they're irrelevant as he said is Marley
Marl is really only prophet like dougie
fresh said I tell you now you ain't
nothing but there's a red electric
assembly production it's a particular
note that MC Shen's career was never the
same thereafter as he mostly focused on
production in the following years Queens
will only catch drop you still telling
lies to me everybody's talking about the
shoe screw on it but you still telling
lies to me number five
nail in the coffin Eminem no stranger to
taking down his competitors Eminem has
plenty of diss songs in his arsenal like
Haley's revenge
[Music]
but in nail in the coffin eminem set his
sights on hiphop magazine the source
after its co-owner Benzino came after
the rapper in the media and in his own
song mmm retaliated in this song and the
sauce in which he slayed the magazine's
credibility and benzino's failures as a
rapper number four with Dre day and
everybody celebrating dr. Dre featuring
Snoop Doggy Dogg Love was lost between
Dre and former crew mate eazy-e
after the breakup of NWA used to be my
homie easy is the primary target in this
song but Tim dog and Luke Campbell also
felt Dre's rest with backup from Snoop
great attacks
Easy's masculinity and blames their
falling out on his selfishness yeah blah
blah Blau but your fight wasn't vicious
and the rhymes you were picking with
quite bode listen Snoop first used the
word bootylicious in this song to
humiliate the other rappers and despite
its heavy content with Dre day reached
number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 with
Jett teeth in your mouth so my dicks got
some
what my nuts on your tongue so why you
own stage wrapping that your whack ass
from the number three take over jay-z in
the early 2000s Jay had a long-standing
feud with nas and this is what is at the
forefront of this track Daisy did take a
few bars to slander prodigy from Mobb
Deep making fun of his size and claiming
that he did ballet as a kid but when it
came to NAS the rapper really went for
the jugular in take over Jeezy asserted
nas doesn't consistently make hits that
he actually did him a favor when he
sampled nas's lines in the chorus of
dead presidents number two ether not
which is so like ether who teach you the
king you know you got a son across the
belly you lose you lost a very following
our number three pick nas came back at j
with this track and produced one of the
best songs of his career in the process
[Music]
slowly loading up this ammo to us on a
camel and his soldiers I can handle two
cuts to the jugular and attacks G's
looks and even questions his rivals
sexuality put it together I rock holes
y'all Rockefellers and now got trying to
take my spot Tomek he claims Jay stole
his riding style from Biggie and blasts
his loyalties to the rapper how much
these rhymes is gonna come out your fat
lips wanted to be on every last one of
my classics nas also calls him a sellout
and says Eminem outshines him on his own
truck and then there murdered you on
your own [ __ ] though ether is the
ultimate disc both rappers actually
benefited financially and critically
from the feud oh oh see big gun up and
clap quick JJ Evans get gunned up and
clap quick your home damn record label
gunned up and clap quick Shawn Carter
the jay-z damn you on jazz
[Music]
here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
my game is killing but my aim is a
washed-up
[Music]
get up your backside a flat side success
rate put on your head straight
they tried to dare the song they don't
wanna play my song when they want to
play fat boy
[Music]
number one hit him up Tupac featuring
outlaws after he was attacked in a
shootout Hawk felt that Biggie and Bad
Boy Records for the parties responsible
for also a response to Biggie's who shot
hit him up sees Tupac going in on Biggie
and puffy claiming neither of them has
street cred and that both rappers are he
also makes it more personal by asserting
he slept with Biggie's girl Faith Evans
[Music]
when it comes to the East Coast versus
West Coast rivalry this controversial
hardcore hip-hop track is truly the
ultimate diss song do you agree with our
list which this track hits the hardest
