20 Best Hip-Hop Diss Songs

Today is a great day for hip-hop.

We were re-watching Straight Outta Compton, a story of 4 rappers whose music defined a generation and has not only influenced future artists but has transcended time.

In the spirit of N.W.A., we decided to pull together a list of hip-hop diss tracks that shook up the game.

Hip-Hop has always been a realm for feuds. If you don’t think you’re the best you probably don’t belong in the genre. With an atmosphere like that, you can only imagine how many disagreements and beefs have risen over the years. In hip-hop, the best way to get your point across is to just say it. Diss tracks are a staple and some come with a bit more sting than others.

We’ve curated a list of the 20 Best Diss Tracks in Hip-Hop with the help of some of the folks over at Rate Your Music. By the way, I wouldn’t listen to this list with your kids around or your boss for that matter.

So without further delay here’s the list:

#20) 50 Cent – Backdown (Dissing Ja Rule)

#19) LL Cool J – To Da Break of Dawn (Dissing Kool Moe Dee, MC Hammer, and Ice T)
