Nick Cannon Names His Top 5 Hip Hop Diss Tracks Of All Time! In December 2019, Nick Cannon went after Eminem with a series of diss tracks after Eminem clowned his relationship with his ex-wife Mariah Carey on the Fat Joe cut “Lord Above.” While Eminem never responded to the diss, their feud was extremely entertaining for the rap industry – fans and non-fans alike.
Needless to say, Cannon certainly knows a thing or two about the potency required for a diss to pass as an effective diss. During the latest episode of Nick Cannon Radio’s “World Famous Top 5” YouTube series, The Masked Singer host revealed the “Top 5 Best Diss Tracks” of all time.
Before unveiling his list, Cannon joked that his beef with Eminem should be considered one of the greatest before quickly digressing.
“The No. 5 diss track is me versus Eminem,” said Cannon with a laugh. “No, I’m just joking. Even though it was Hip Hop culture going on. But we gotta go with Biggie’s diss track, I gotta start off with ‘Dre Day.’ Dre and Snoop, they came at Eazy’s neck … they was getting at everybody. That’s my joint right there.”
Nick then named Ice Cube’s infamous Eazy-E diss “No Vaseline” at No. 4 but headed to the East Coast for No. 3 with JAY-Z’s “The Takeover,” which dissed Mobb Deep and Nas. At No. 2, he slotted Drake’s Meek Mill slaughter “Back To Back”, calling it the “only diss track to get a Grammy nomination and is also club banger.”
Last but not least, Cannon announced that Tupac Shakur’s 1996 lyrical assassination “Hit ‘Em Up” takes the crown at No. 1. The track annihilated The Notorious B.I.G. at the time and made it clear albeit painfully just how much 2Pac looked down upon the Brooklyn rap luminary.
“And the No. 1 diss song of all time — and it’s only because it’s probably the biggest Hip Hop beat ever and one of the best rappers to ever do it and it was just so disrespectful,” Cannon went on. “He started it off with like, That’s why I fucked your bitch.’ When you start a record off like that … and unfortunately there was so much that went on with their demise, I wish these brothers could have came back together because they were truly friends.”
Here’s Nick Canon’s List;
5. ‘Dre Day’ – Dr. Dre Ft. Snoop Dogg
4. “No Vaseline” – Ice Cube
3. “Takeover” – Jay-Z
2. “Back to Back” – Drake
- “Hit ‘Em Up” – 2Pac & the Outlawz’s
