64 Best Rap Diss Tracks Of All Time

“Dear Stan” by Cam-ron

Song Year: 2000

Dear Stan is a diss track at Stan Spit, Cam-ron’s biggest rival. Cam-ron doesn’t pull any punches on this track, as he mocks Spit for having a dead mother, a brutal thing to bring up. Cam-ron was once Stan Spit’s mentor, so these low blows are particularly nasty to listen to. This track cleverly parodies Eminem’s song Stan and pokes fun at Stan Spit in numerous ways.

“ShEther” by Remy Ma

Song Year: 2017

This diss track comes from Remy Ma and targets Nicki Minaj, two female rappers whose feud was hot and intense at one point. The track is a play on Nas’ impactful track Ether, mentioned above. Remy Ma mentions Nicki Minaj’s brother, a convicted child molester, calls her out for sleeping with many rappers in the game, and overall annihilates Minaj. She accuses her of using ghostwriters and also being a prude in bed, which goes against Nicki’s whole image.

“Bomb First” by 2Pac ft. E.D.I. Mean, Young Noble

Song Year: 1996

This song is on 2Pac’s final album and targets Big D and Makaveli. The intro track to his last album is scathing and leaves Biggie alone for a minute to focus on Pac’s other rivals who he felt the need to address. The song comes after a handful of East Coast rappers, prioritizing Big D and Makaveli. Pac does not let up for a second on this fast-paced song that delivers shot after shot at the East Coast crew.

“10% Dis” by MC Lyte

Song Year: 1998

MC Lyte’s diss track is impressive, aiming at MC Antoinette and accusing him of stealing lyrics and beats from different rappers. He calls him a poseur and phony and says he doesn’t deserve to be part of the rap game because he has no talent. Ironically, this diss track samples beats from other songs and even sounds similar to one of MC Anrtoinette’s songs, which may have been purposeful.

“Destroy and Rebuild” by Nas

Song Year: 2001

Nas is easily one of the best diss rappers, and this is another song that proves his talent for shooting back at other rappers. The diss track focuses on Baby Paul and Mike Risko, saying they aren’t true thugs and are just losers trying to rap. The song is twinged with sadness, as Nas mentions other rappers who were once on his side but aren’t anymore, talking about how he’s still standing and will come back better than ever despite the disloyalty.

“Linda Tripp” by Company Flow

Song Year: 1999

While this diss track may not be the most lyrically creative and clever, it’s still a potent track that calls out Sole for some of his behavior. Sole dissed Company Flow in one of the songs and Company Flow shot back quickly with this track, saying Sole was beneath them. Funny enough, following this release, Sole made comments about loving Company Flow and not wanting to feud with them, so the beef was short-lived.

“Hate Me Now” by Cam’ron ft. Jim Jones

Song Year: 2002

Hate Me Now is aimed at D-Moet, Pretty Boy, Nas, and Trackmasters. Nas went on a radio show and bashed the entire rap industry, and specifically called on Cam-ron for dropping a terrible album, although he did say he was talented. Cam-ron wasn’t letting this go, so he dropped Hate Me Now, talking about how Nas was once a fan but turned on him because he’s bitter about his own career and the industry’s state.

“Girls” by Eminem

Song Year: 2001

Eminem made this diss track to go after Dilated Peoples, Everlast, and Limp Bizkit, calling them all corny and pathetic. The feud between these rappers almost elevated to physical violence, with both parties making threats to fight one another. In the end, this was not the most intense rap feud by any means, but we got a few good diss tracks from both sides, including this one.

“99 Problems (Lil Flip Ain’t One)” by T.I.

Song Year: 2004

The feud between Lil Flip and T.I. was short-lived but fiery. T.I. invited Lil Flip to work on an album with them, but when Flip refused he become one of T.I.’s enemies. The beef got worse when Flip dissed the rapper during a concert while T.I. was in prison, resulting in this condescending and humorous diss track, where T.I. essentially calls Flip a suburban baby who isn’t a real rapper.

“Have a Nice Day” by Roxanne Shante

Song Year: 1987

Roxanna Shante made this diss track to go after Boogie Down Productions, delivering some deep punches along with superficial disses. She makes fun of their stage names and officially joins the Juice Crew side of the feud with this song. This track is funny and clever, with stone-cold lines that show that Roxanne could run with the big boys and put them in their place.

“Def Wish III” by MC Eiht

Song Year: 1993

MC Eiht released this song as a diss against DJ Quik as part of their ongoing feud. The song is part of a diss series focused on DJ Quik and features some hilarious lines about DJ Quik being in a bikini on an album cover and other funny comments. While many believe DJ Quik started this entertaining feud, MC Eiht put him in the ground with not one or two, but four different brutal diss tracks.

“Piggy Bank” by 50 Cent

Song Year: 2005

Last on our list is 50 Cent’s Piggy Bank, a track aimed at several rappers, including Nas, Jadakiss, Mobb Deep, Ja Rule, Kelis, Shyne, Fat Joe, and Lil Kim. The diss track essentially hits every NYC rapper, making it one of the boldest and most aggressive diss tracks. He accuses these rappers of releasing subpar albums, being disloyal to their crews, and acting tough when they’re soft.
