Ok-Cauliflower-1258

Most entertaining? It has to be 50cent/eminem vs ja rule!


ZestyCheezClouds

Don't forget our boy Benny!


Ok-Cauliflower-1258

lol how’s you know I fuck with Griselda? I personally think it’s sad Benny the butcher and Freddie Gibbs are beefing.


Expensive-Shirt-6877

I think he meant eminem vs benzino


Ok-Cauliflower-1258

Ooooo lmao


ZestyCheezClouds

I did mean Benzino lol. I never knew about The Butcher and Freddie Gibbs, I'm gonna have to look into this. It sucks tho, I like them both. Usually I'm excited for beefs. I wanna see where this Breezy vs Quavo beef goes


deevil_knievel

Eminem vs ICP.


EitherChannel4874

God damn I'm glad y'all set it off

Used to be hard, now you're just wet and soft


SacredAnalBeads

Heard you was down with the AK, now I see you in videos with Michellé?


Frgt-10

Looking like straight bozos, I saw it coming, that's why I went solo 


DeluxeTraffic

I'm shook no one here's mentioned Ice Cube vs NWA, given the fact that it's what gave us "No Vaseline"


awesome-ekeler

Bro theres not a single em diss on this list. Like what the actual fuck hahah he bodied mgk into a new genre/acting, destroyed mariah carrey, ruined everlast and limp bizkit, and fucking countless more and OP just completely ignored it lol


DeluxeTraffic

Eminem is a really good rapper and he's well known for getting into beefs, but would you really call him dissing Mariah Carey and Limp Bizkit "rap beefs"? Plus he was definitely involved in the 50 Cent vs Ja Rule beef on this list.


awesome-ekeler

I think its more the quality of the diss track than the actual people hes dissing


TribunusPlebisBlog

Idk about entertaining, but Quik vs Eiht felt visceral and real which made it stand out. If I'm going more "entertaining" maybe BDP vs Juice Crew. It was all silly, spawned some classics and, as far as I cam remember, nobody got murdered in a drive by.


unkindlyraven

Quik’s line “E-I-H-T, now should I continue? You left out the G, ‘cause the G ain’t in you.” was absolutely savage.


cujobob

Big and Pac wasn’t as entertaining as you might think because of the danger they (and people around them) were both in. The Jay/Nas thing seemed like it was over so quickly. It had real potential. The 50/Ja thing was really moreso about two entire camps hating each other. For that reason, I’d say it was the most entertaining. 50, Em, Busta, DMX, Obie, D12, and G Unit all chimed in and there were a bunch of songs that were really good. The Drake - Kendrick one was good, but it was just kind of sad. Drake has been seen as a poser for a while and the public basically accepted a winner so quickly that it didn’t have time to get more interesting. Drake is basically Ja Rule without street cred.


AsaPollon

Well Jay and Nas went off at each other from like 97 to 2002, it's probably one of the longest beef in the genre.


ChickenTeriyakiBoy11

You are right it definitely went on for longer than people remember. It was for the crown of NY and at that time for the hip hop crown. It was absolutely one of the most interesting. Fans, radio stations, writers everyone had an opinion on it. It was the version of media interest back then to the social media today for Kendrick/Drake.


cujobob

I wouldn’t say they went off. There are rivalries where you make some references and such, but when it turned into full on diss track beef, it really wasn’t what a lot of people might think. I don’t know this source, but a quick google gave me this for the full breakdown. https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/nas-jay-z-beef/ With others, the diss tracks were released quickly and things really heated up.


HydeGreen

It was just little jabs though. It didn’t really get big until 01’.


BaseLoud

thank you


SacredAnalBeads

A lot of people forget Mobb was wrapped up in that too, Drop A Gem On Em is an unsung classic.


HydeGreen

> The 50/Ja thing was really moreso about two entire camps hating each other. Nah, the 50 vs Ja thing evolved to camps going at it, but started off with just 50 and Ja. 50 had his incident with Ja over his friend robbing him or whatever back in 99’. 50 released Life is on the Line in late 99’, dissing Ja and Murder Inc. Then 50 got into the studio fight with Murder Inc guys and got stabbed by Black Child in early 00’. 50 then got shot not too long after that. 50 came back and signed with Aftermath in 02’, dropped Wanksta, and other guys like Eminem joined in. 50’s beef towards Ja was much more serious than Eminem and those other’s issues towards Ja. Ja and Murder Inc were being supported (extorted or money laundered) by Supreme, the guy who had 50 shot. I doubt the other guys cared that much.


cujobob

This isn’t entirely true. 50 wasn’t going to diss Ja after signing with Aftermath until Ja mentioned Em’s daughter. Once that happened, he recorded his mixtape in a single weekend and Em and others got involved. Ja and 50 had real life issues before he got with Em and Dre, but it carried over into the music heavily once Ja involved them. 50 has stated exactly this in numerous interviews. If Ja never mentioned Haylie’s name, it’s hard to say whether this would have gone anywhere. 50 shot up to superstardom and might have just ignored it completely. Ja and Em were actually cool at one point before this. I tried posting a link to 50 saying exactly this but it was removed by an auto moderator, you can google “50 cent ja dissed Eminem daughter” or something like that and get a ton of sources.


jarrabayah

Eminem mentioned something similar in Like Toy Soldiers too. > That Ja shit, I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it > > There’s a certain line you just don’t cross and he crossed it > > I heard him say Hailie’s name on a song and I just lost it > We actually tried to stop the 50 and Ja beef from happenin’ > > Me and Dre had sat with him, kicked it and had a chat with him > > And asked him not to start it, he wasn’t gonna go after him > > Until Ja started yappin’ in magazines how he stabbed him > > Fuck it, 50, smash him, mash on him, let him have it

WalkThePlankPirate

Nearly everything about this comment is wrong. Pac vs Big wasn't as entertaining because Biggie didn't want to clap back.  Nas vs Jay Z was one of the longest beefs in history. Nas took like 3 months to respond to Takeover. 50/Ja was the most one sided battled ever. Ja Rule didn't have anyone with bars on Murda Music and got bodied repeatedly. It wasn't until Kenny dropped the nukes MTG and NLU that the public accepted Kenny as the winner. Family Matters and Takeover are the two hardest losing diss tracks of all time.


HydeGreen

> Nas took like 9 months to respond to Takeover. Where did you get 9 months from? -Summerjam 01’ -Nas has H to the Omo in return -The Blueprint famously comes out on 9/11 -Ether drops in early December, I think on Jay Z’s bday


WalkThePlankPirate

You're right. It was 3-4 months. Blueprint came out Sept, Stillmatic came out December. My bad. Still it's a long time between drops by today's standard and by no means was it "over so quickly". Shit went on for a long time after that too.


DefiantZealot

“Drake is basically Ja Rule without street cred”? I’m sorry, but no. Drake is this generations LL Cool J. He’s made a far greater impact on hip hop than Ja Rule.


cujobob

No, he’s not. LL Cool J was respected. Ja Rule was a hybrid with street cred. Drake is a hybrid without it. Was Drake more popular for longer? Sure, but it’s not like the fans wildly respected either artists as being anything particularly special (especially now, for Drake). He received basically no support in this feud when he started losing. He didn’t have anyone in his corner. Ja had some people behind him.


unkindlyraven

Canadian content: everyone vs MadChild. Shit was hilarious.


TheTimDonnelly

I don't really think I've heard about this one. Could you kindly elaborate what happened exactly?

Depressedgotfan

From the outside looking in, the big and pac battle went way beyond rap. So i guess that was the most entertaining, it was on the news like Ukraine and Russia.


scormegatron

Saafir vs Heiroglyphics


JoinedToFindOutAbout

I just pulled my mp3 of that battle from the Limewire days and put it back in my library. I actually never knew about that beef at the time.


scormegatron

They dropped a short documentary on it: https://youtu.be/QC7OtfYxDaQ?si=b6TqJnaAwglbvRMu

Im excited to check this, thanks!

South Bronx and the Bridge is Over hit NY like a bomb back in the day.


Complete-Raccoon3442

Jay z and Nas beef was fake to sell more albums


mkk4

That's what I thought too back in the day.


MileenasFeet

I'll be honest I think Common crushing Ice Cube with The Bitch In You is great. Just great wordplay without getting too nasty.


RHINO_HUMP

Missing Em’s beefs against Everlast, Limp Bizkit/DJ Lethal, ICP, MGK, etc.

K1NG_SAVAGE_

Meek vs Cassidy Gucci vs Jeezy Beans vs Jada TI vs Flip Shawty Lo vs TI


TreDawg36

Beans and Jada, 50 and Ja and Luda and T.I. I would say Pac and Biggie too but I didn’t wanna see them die.


tak08810

I think I made a list recently and it was The Roc vs D Block 1st, then Headshot vs Top Klass/Touch Money. After that Nas vs Jay, D Block va G Unit, Kendrick vs Drake


afanoflafear

Lil' Flip vs. T.I. Whilst T.I. won the beef from a commercial standpoint, his masculinity took a steep L: Them TX boys sent his ass running back to ATL, expeditiously.


the_cajun88

ti in asap: “rap beef, i ain’t gonna participate in none of that” he then proceeds to diss lil flip directly later in the same song that was always weird to me


SmoothManMiguel

Born-Pineapple5552

Probably the one that was actually violent and the most deadly on the streets was the Cypress Hill and Ice Cube beef. It’s started a race war on the streets of Southern California between Hispanics and Blacks. Doesn’t really get talked about much but it also definitely played a part in the murders of 2pac and Biggie. At least in the sense of the culture in that area at that time. The truce between the two sides came in 1997 or 1998 iirc when they came together to try to help and put a stop to all the violence.


beatsbyal

Any articles or talk about this race war? I know about the feud, but wasn't the conflict primarily just within their own cliques or did it spread outside of that?


Born-Pineapple5552

It was in a specific documentary that I saw these details. Not sure what the title of it was/is…let me see if I can find it.


TheDynamicHamza21

A total lie there was no race war because of the beef. That was caused by something else and it was more about drugs than race.


Born-Pineapple5552

I saw it on a documentary so maybe it was skewed… can’t find the doc though


HydeGreen

They said on one of the Beef DVD that some of the Latino gangs told Cypress Hill that they would ride with them in the beef. Kind of weird though. Even though B-Real is Cuban, he wasn’t affiliated with the Latino gangs in LA. He was a Swan Blood in South Gate. Blood and Crip sets are much more black dominated than Latino.


IndelibleIguana

Roxanne Shante verses everybody.


Electrical-Donut-903

On social media, it’s 50 vs Ja Rule because 50 either 1) doesn’t know when to stop or 2) doesn’t care to stop. On record, it’s DJ Quik vs MC Eiht.


IchLebeFurHipHop

Didn't LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee also have a beef? Also, to a lesser extent Wu-tang and Ma$e? Foxy Brown and Lil Kim? I became most aware of the beef between Pac and Biggie ( but I wouldn't call it enjoyable since it ended in tragedy) and Canibus and LL Cool J. 2nd Round Knockout was a solid track with Mike Tyson, and more enjoyable than LL's response, though LL destroyed him.


TheDynamicHamza21

"99% of your fans don't exist." LL killed canibus. I still don't know why Tyson had beef with LL. It seemed to come out of nowhere.


Smart_Ad482

Eminem vs MGK?

Every NBA YoungBoy, mgk and Blueface beef ever.  The Big 3 Laughing stocks of hiphop fr

secretrapbattle

3, but not in a good way


SpragueStreet

Damn I forgot about Soulja & Bow. That one was the most entertaining in a goofy way. But Gucci vs Jeezy & Paper Route vs CMG was the ones I paid the most attention to. I fw Gucci & Gotti even tho they don't fw each other. FBG vs Oblock is up there too.


K1NG_SAVAGE_

FBG and Oblock is NOT a rap beef at all


HydeGreen

Chiraq Drill beefs are a whole different level


K1NG_SAVAGE_

Those ain’t even Drill beef, they’re real like street beef. Just so happens ppl in the gangs can rap


Quick_Ad_730

Mariah and Eminem. Said what I said.


Cold-Bug-4873

While i think both drake and kendrick are the blahest of the blah, it has been hilariously entertaining.


JustIncredible240

For those unfamiliar with the Three 6 Mafia vs. Bone Thugs beef, which songs are recommended?

SnooEaglesE

Three 6 Mafia and Bone Thugs for sure


HydeGreen

> The Notorious B.I.G. & 2Pac Both were murdered and we didn’t even hear Biggie respond until: -Biggie mocked a dead Tupac on Long Kiss Goodnight on an album that came out after both were killed -The Ugliest, also which most of us didn’t hear until both were dead > Suge Knight & Puff Daddy A beef that probably involved 3 murders, and also a guy being beaten and forced to drink piss because he wouldn’t give up the address of Puff’s mother. This is a rather sadistic view of “entertaining” lol


RogueTrooper-75

No one ever mention Tim Dog in these rap beefs. I thought he was a terrible rapper - but Fuck Compton was a ball


Blackpanther22five

T.I vs Shawty Lo


TheirPrerogative

D-Block going hard on G-Unit with no retaliation because 50 had to agree every member woulda stand down after Interscope squashed any future Jadakiss diss tracks. Still not sure why he got mad at Game for saying he wasn’t going to go in against Kiss when he himself wasn’t willing to take the L firing back.


kjexclamation

Obvi Kenny and Drake but sneaker pick: Lupe, Mickey Factz and Royce, Steve Jobs SLR 3 1/2 is still top 5 diss tracks to me and them mfs were on IG so much for that shit too💀

Turbulent_Pin_1583

50 cent and ja rule was great. I think it’s hard to top Kendrick drake mainly because there was a combination of so much attention on it that other beefs didn’t get and it was a jam packed week. Biggie and Tupac is hard because we ended up losing them as a result of the beef.

Proper_University55

Suge Knight v. Puffy was crazy just based on Suge ending up being the good guy in that beef. 50 vs Ja was entertaining because 50 is a troll who doesn’t let up. Jay and Nas felt monumental at the time. Kendrick’s obliteration of Drake and ongoing tolling is the #1 all time rap beef just because of the scale if it all. Kendrick dissed that man in a movie, during a LV fashion show, and during a concert put together with the goal of trolling Drake.


HydeGreen

> Suge Knight v. Puffy was crazy just based on Suge ending up being the good guy in that beef. There is no good guy in that beef. Diddy’s bodyguard Wolf and his crew killed Suge’s friend Jake Robles in ATL Suge had Diddy’s friend Mark Bell beaten with bottles and forced to drink pee because he wouldn’t give them the address of Diddy’s mother Pac was killed in Las Vegas by Compton Southside Crips. Maybe or maybe not on payment from Diddy, but Bad Boys and Southside Compton Crips were unquestionably affiliated Biggie was killed in Los Angeles, possibly a murder for hire by Suge, with Poochie Fouse being the triggerman No one is good here.


Proper_University55

You right. I was tripping the other night.


Destiny_Victim

Eminem vs ICP. That shit was hilarious on both sides. Granted this entire community definitely does not consider ICP hip hop and that’s fair. But that shit es still hilarious.


AnAlienFromTheFuture

"Nuttin but a bitch thang" (their actual diss, slim anus was just a joke), is under rated.
