Top 10 Diss Tracks In Hip Hop

10. Mobb Deep: Drop A Gem on ‘Em

 who got dissed: TUPAC

Lyrics: it’s warfare in the arena; you turn arenas into house of horrors / its terror dome, when you see my click you need to run behind shit/ you got a gat? you better find it and use that shit/ think fast and get reminded / of robberies in Manhattan you knew what happened / 60 g’s and one for gun clappin / Who Shot Ya? You’d probably scream louder than an opera / New York gotcha / now you wanna use my mob as a crutch

9. Roxanne Shante: Have A Nice Day

 who got dissed: BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS

Lyrics: Now KRS-ONE you should go on vacation / With that name soundin’ like a wack radio station / And as for Scott La Rock, you should be ashamed / When T La Rock said “It’s Yours”, he didn’t mean his name / So step back peasants, poppin’ all that junk / Or else BDP will stand for Broken Down Punks / Cos I’m an All-Star just like Julius Erving / And Roxanne Shante is only good for steady servin’

8. Notorious B.I.G: Kick In The Door

 who got dissed: NAS; GHOSTFACE; RAEKWON; JERU

Lyrics: Your reign on the top was short like leprechauns/ As I crush so-called willies, thugs, and rapper-dons/ Get in that ass, quick fast, like Ramadan… Lyrically, Im worser, don’t front the word sick/ You cursed it, but rehearsed it/ I drop unexpectedly like bird shit/ You herbs get, stuck quickly for royalties and show money
Don’t forget the publishin, I punish em, Im done with them/ Son, I’m surprised you run with them/ I think they got cum in them, cause they, nothin but dicks/ Tryin to blow up like nitro and dynamite sticks/ Mad I smoke hydro rock diamonds, thats sick/ Got pay off my flow, rhyme with my own click/ Take trips to Cairo, layin with yo bitch

7. LL Cool J: To Da Break of Dawn

 who got dissed: KOOL MOE DEE; ICE-T; MC HAMMER

Lyrics: Homeboy, hold on, my rhymes are so strong/ Nothing could go wrong, so why do you prolong/ Songs that ain’t strong, brother, you’re dead wrong/ And got the nerve to have them Star Trek shades on/ Ha, you can’t handle the whole weight/ Skin needs lotion, teeth need Colgate
I’ma show you the real meaning of the danger zone/ Stop dancin, get to walkin/ Shut your old mouth when young folks is talkin/ you little snake in the grass/ You swing a hammer, but you couldn’t break a glass
How dare you stand beside me/ I’m Cool, I freeze I-c-e/ On your trail and I’ma cut that bull tail
In the immortal words of L.L., ‘hard as hell’/ Your broad wears it well She’s the reason that your record sold a few copies
I’m not Scarface, but I want more beef/ Before you rapped you was a downtown car thief/ Workin in a parking lot/
A brother with a perm deserves to get burned

6. Nas: Ether

who got dissed: JAY-Z

Lyrics: First, Biggie’s ya man, then you got the nerve to say that you better than Big/ Dick sucking lips, why won’t you let the late, great veteran live
In ’88 you was getting chased through your building/ Calling my crib and I ain’t even give you my numbers/ All I did was gave you a style for you to run with
And, Eminem murdered you on your own shit/ You a dick-riding faggot, you love the attention/ Queens niggas run you niggas, ask Russell Simmons

 5. Eminem: The Sauce

 who gets dissed: BENZINO

Lyrics: No more Source for street cred, them days is dead/ Ray’s got AK’s to Dave Mays’ head/ Every issue there’s an eight page Made Men spread/ Will somebody please tell whoever braids his head
Bitch this is war now, and you’ll never beat me/ All you do is cheat me out of Quotables
But you know that you’ll always see me/ On your TV, cuz you’ve got to stay up ’til/ Three in the morning to see your video played once on BET
It’s extortion, and Ray owns a portion/ So half of the staff up there is fresh out of jail from Boston/ Bullyin and bossin Dave like a slave/ They completely brainwashed him and forced him to stay/ Locked in his own office Afraid of the softest, fakest, wannabe gangsta in New York

4. Canibus: 2^nd Round KO

 who got dissed: LL COOL J

Lyrics: You walk around showin off your body cause it sells/ Plus to avoid the fact that you ain’t got skills/ Mad at me cause I kick that shit real niggaz feel/ While 99% of your fans wear high heels
And if you really want to show off, we can get it on/ Live in front of the cameras on your own sitcom/ I’ll let you kick a verse, fuck it, I’ll let you kick em all/ I’ll even wait for the studio audience to applaud
Fuck that, cause like Common and Cube I see The Bitch In Yoo/ and I’ma make the world see it too, motherfucker

3. Ice Cube: No Vaseline

 who got dissed: N.W.A.

Lyrics: Yella Boy’s on your team, so you’re losin’/ Ay yo Dre, stick to producin./ Callin’ me Arnold, but you been a dick/ Eazy-E saw your ass and went in it quick.
You’re gettin’ fucked real quick / and Eazy’s dick, is smellin’ like MC Ren’s shit/ It’s a case of divide-and-conquer/ cuz you let a Jew break up my crew./House nigga gotta run and hide/ yellin’ Compton, but you moved to Riverside.
Now I think you a snitch/ throw a house nigga in a ditch/ Half-pint bitch, fuckin’ your homeboys/ You little maggot; Eazy-E turned faggot/ With your manager, fella/ fuckin’ MC Ren, Dr. Dre, and Yella/ But if they were smart as me/ Eazy-E would be hangin’ from a tree/ With no vaseline, just a match and a little bit of gasoline/ Light ‘em up, burn ‘em up, flame on/ till that Jheri curl is gone.

2. Common: The Bitch In Yoo

 who got dissed: ICE CUBE

Lyrics: Now what the fuck I look like dissing a whole coast /You ain’t made shit dope since AmeriKKKa’s Most / Wanted to cease from the Midwest to the East / On the dick of the East for your 1st release
Shoulda repented, on the 16th of October /Get some beats besides George Clinton to rock over /Rap career is over, better off acting /What trouble I see, you’re managing WC and Wack 10
It’ll take the Nation of Millions to Hold Me Back / From giving you mouth shots or hit wit the pipe Ralph got / Chris Tucker ain’t around, it’s your Friday, it was good / I wasn’t salty, she was wit the Boyz N the Hood
There’s a thin line between the fake and the real /Grafted ass nigga, I see through your Glass Shield / Had skills once upon a time on this project, yo / I’m a have ta wreck a Ho’shea /I heard a ho say you her favorite rapper/ so I had to slap her/ And violate you, a Muslim drinking brew/ Your nigga ain’t no Mack 10, he’s a 22

1. Boogie Down Productions: The Bridge is Over

who got dissed: JUICE CREW

Lyrics: Pick any dick for the flavor that you savor/ Mr. Magic might wish to come and try to save ya/ But instead of helpin ya out he wants the same thing I gave ya/ I finally figured it out, magic mouth is used for suckin/ Roxanne Shante is only good for steady fuckin/ MC Shan and Marley Marl is really only bluffin/ Like Doug E. Fresh said I tell you now, you ain’t nuthin/ Compared to red alert on kiss and Boogie Down Productions
What’s the matter with your MC, Marley Marl? / Don’t know you know that hes out of touch/ What’s the matter with your DJ, MC Shan? / On the wheels of steel Marlon sucks
You’d better change what comes out your speaker/ You’re better off talkin bout your whack puma sneaker

#np: The Roots - The Day

[Chorus: Patty Crash]

When I wake up, I look into the mirror

I can see a clearer, vision

I should start living today

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

patty crash 

[Blu]

Yeah, it's like everyday I wake up, I stare into space and don't say much

Peer in the mirror, feeling dead from the face up

Coffee pots, cigarettes, morning Js, Baileys

Slowing down my day before it picks up the pace

Beats playing since the night before, thinking bout writing songs

Feeling exhausted from times we toured constant

And plus the toxics I sip got me tall

Still tipsy, staring at the city from the spot we call Los Angeles

Every day is like a blank canvas

Carving my initials in the planet like I brand it

Hand picked to live this life we take for granted

like a child with an upright bass, we can't stand it

Smiling through the trouble we face, tryna manage

my way without pumping my brakes and staying stagnant

Cause I can sit on my ass or just imagine

the madness I did on my path and paint the canvas

blu

[Chorus: Patty Crash]

When I wake up, I look into the mirror

I can see a clearer, vision

I should start living today

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

[Black Thought]

Before I rise and shine like a neon sign

I need the girl of my dreams to give me Einstein

And burn the marijuan' like Buju Banton

is my only bonafide break from these confines

I need a change of scenery like a mind tide

These kids bringing me the noise like the bomb squad

And everybody coming at me from the blindside

I'm tired, it's hard to open up my eyes wide

I listen to some theme music on the iPod

and walk around the crib doing little odd jobs

Checking my breath, take a view from this high rise

Feeling like I'm checking out a game from the sideline

I got to try different things in these trying times

Twenty-ten is different than it was in nine-five

It's come alive time, I picked a fine time

for getting open off life like a fine wine

black thought

[Chorus: Patty Crash]

When I wake up, I look into the mirror

I can see a clearer, vision

I should start living today

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

[Phonte]

Uh, yeah, Sunday morning, plan my day out

Whole new blueprint, brand new layout

Deep down still don't know if it'll play out

But for the first time, feel like I done found a way out

Skin getting clearer and it feel like I lost weight

Stop and say a prayer for the times I lost faith

Troubles of the world had me in a cross-face

Chicken-wing, sickening, liver so off-base

But now it's like I'm in the last lap of the car chase

and I finally understand my right to choose

My preacher man told me it could always be worse

Even the three-legged dog still got three good legs to lose

So you can stop and refresh the rules

Breathe in, breathe out, let it heal all your exit wounds

Something inside said that's the move

and made it today, I'll restart fresh and new

phonte

[Chorus: Patty Crash]

When I wake up, I look into the mirror

I can see a clearer, vision

I should start living today

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day

producers have never been given the recognition they deserve for making the studio hits that make an artist give it their all…thus i’d like to pay tribute to the studio artists that gave us south african youth a sound that we could voice our dream, aspirations and challenges to…big up to all these legends that i've have dubbed as the “PRODUCERS OF A REVOLUTION”…
