Can be a whole song or just a line or two. I have talked about this song a lot on MAR but have never posted it - about Greta Van Fleet by The Bobby Lees - from one of 2022's best albums ( Bellevue) ...........the meanest Rock and Roll diss song in a long time........ totally unprovoked and completely unnecessary too......  Some other famous ones I like and their target - Jay Z - The Takeover - Nas and Mobb Deep Nas - Ether - Jay Z Pusha T - The Story of Adidon - Drake Eminem - Killshot - Machine Gun Kelly Pavement - Range Life - Smashing Pumpkins (although Pavement said it isn't really a diss) The Sex Pistols - New York - The NY Dolls Johnny Thunders - London Boys - The Sex Pistols Hammell on Trial - Z-Roxx - inspired by Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains (allegedly) but not specific John Lennon - How Do You Sleep? - Paul McCartney Screeching Weasel - I Hate Led Zeppelin - um, Led Zeppelin Elvis Costello - The Other Side of Summer - John Lennon (Just one line "Was it a millionaire who said "Imagine no possessions?") |

Here's a fun one I found today by Sun Kil Moon called War on Drugs: Suck My C*ck. Such pettiness |

All rap ones for me: Cannabis- Second Round Knockout diss to LL Cool J One of the great ones - that part where he tells him he can kick the first, fnck it you can have them all and then tells him he'll destroy him on the set of his own sitcom It's such a great diss because it starts slow, then you have Tyson edging him on and at the end he's unhinged ......."99 percent of your fans wear high heels" ........that's a pacinoyes message board war level diss tbh  |

'The Warning', where Em just straight up plays voicemails from Mariah.
But any Eminem diss really.

He also had another really good one directed at LL Cool J called Rip the Jacker. |

Mariah Carey's Obsessed is actually one of my favorites. I say she got the W in that beef with Eminem because it looks like she hasn't broken a sweat while he's STILL mad years later. |

Tupac - "Hit 'Em Up" - Biggie and all of Bad Boy Entertainment. That iconic first line ("First off, fuck your bitch and the clique you claim"), the clever Dennis Edwards sample, having Faith Evans herself on the track singing "take money," the venomous way Tupac is delivering his verses, just incredible. Ice Cube - "No Vaseline" - N.W.A. and manager Jerry Heller. The lyrical genius of one of hip hop's most influential groups coming out with a diss track torching everyone? That's raw. Cuts through with the kind of animosity that can only come from someone feeling betrayed by people he loves, even down to low blows like homophobia and anti-Semitism. |

best diss track i've heard. using the beat of 'story of oj' (lyrics and the cover photo of story of adidon line up to the themes of that song) was perfect. also to do this to one of the biggest musicians (if not THE biggest) right before a release of their album, to call out their neglectfulness towards their child which then makes them introduce their child to the world? sheesh, all the while going after one of their best friends and dad as well (using history to draw a parallel to how you dads a deadbeat so now you're a deadbeat dad), wild. so much so that drake had nothing to say and took arguably his biggest L to date. if this was in the 90's it'd get even more respect.

The best thing about Story of Adidon - which is also listed in my OP - is that it did something out of step with our whole stupid culture - it actually BROKE a new story - not cable news, or Facebook or TMZ - it genuinely revealed a secret that only the singer of the song could reveal. It's a masterpiece of reporting. In our age of controlling narratives, people burying stories that don't support their "impartial" political / social machinations about "real" news vs. "fake" news what Pusha T did in Story of Adidon is actually quite historic in a way.......one man owned the news here - not merely gossip or a minor detail like usually in songs - but a genuinely scandalous news story........if the song sucked that alone would have been enough to make it a huge deal .......the fact that the song was great is just the icing on the cake.... Almost every line is a relevant fact - in 3 minutes - it's the reportage detail that make it more than a song or just a diss .........though it's both .......and it has a great closing line "You upset .....I wanna see what it's like when you get angry" - laughing and mocking Drake's very masculinity because he knows that song devastates him because it IS reporting - not merely Pop music. This song - like Second Round K.O. which wallsofjericho listed earlier and Ether - are important for Rap songs - because those types of songs immediately discount everything that is gross about Rap in general and turned me off to it - ie the celebration of wealth and money etc. ........it is actually more in tune with Punk Rock - ie your very success is a sign that you suck - your very celebrity status is proof of a weakness as an artist or a person. It explicity conflicts with stupid shit "Like - make that money yo!" - it rather says "No.......fnck you and your money......fnck the charts and all your bling" too - it could only be made by the underdog / less successful commercial artist. Think about that: It's among a handful of historic songs JUST on that level before you even get to the "reporting" angle of it.....
It may be the single best cultural moment in Pop Music since "Paper Planes" - so that's in the past 15 years..... |
