Hearing "Kendrick dropped" right after Family Matters is the musical equivalent of "they hit the second tower"
Family matters better than anything kendrick put out
@@JordanMac79 Whatever helps you get through these tough times
@@JordanMac79 Whats the taste of the drizzy glizzy?
@@JordanMac79bros rage baiting on every comment lol
@@riotrecker8978 I said family matters and thats rage baiting? Kendrick stans must be pathetic if that's all it takes for you all to rage 😂 get your life together
Pusha T getting dethroned as the biggest Drake hater was the biggest plot twist of 2024
Its been stewing for a decade lol. They been throwing subs and Kendrick just let out 10 yrs or hate😂
@@Pacers2k7 Was there even a beef before this? It sounds like from the "big three" line drake didn't even know kendrick hated him.
@@rutgerhauser2377 they have been throwing shots since control. Drake even said on pushups like that didnt start this
@rutgerhauser2377 "& that f**ckin song ya'll got, did not start the beef with us/ this shit been brewing in a pot, now it's heating up/" -Drake
@@itsRichErich Tbh I haven't kept up with this beef, I caught wind of it in the middle/ near the end.
So wait if drake said it was brewing for a while, why did he/ jcole give kendrick props in that first person shooter song?
"You are hiding a melon let that seed come home".
He really is a deadbeat gardener
That's so funny 😂😂
Deadbeet
I'm too high..lauhing at this corny sh*t 😂😅

Notice how Yuno Miles' diss track towards both Kendrick and Drake was so good, melon was too afraid to mention it.
How could he bring it up? There's nothing above S tier for him to put it in.

@@divisionunion1658 Look him up hes the best rapper of all time.
Ooga dissing Booga in 200,000 BC is honestly super underrated. Literally no one but me listens to it lol
Average Ooga fan
Bunga’s diss was way better🥱🥱
the ooga glazing is crazy
Booba jumped in the beef 20000 years late but the song's fire too, should check it out
@@quangbangnguyen5155check it out on stone
watch Kendrick drop another diss in 20 minutes and make this out of date
Just casually drops the whole album of disses now that Drake's made it clear he's still making music and collabing.
But for real, Kendrick was so unpredictable during that beef that I legit am waiting for him to randomly drop everything at some point. Because he outright said he has more in his back pocket.
We can only hope
@@Monroah wdym made it clear hes making music and collabing? did drake make a statement?
@@Trippze More like only a week ago and he's still doing stuff like collaborating with Sexyy Red (to the tune of BBL Drizzy, no less), so he seems to still be chugging along.
Then again, it hasn't been that long since Not Like Us, so who knows? I could be totally wrong on that assumption, here
@@Trippzeno no he’s saying that drake’s already going back to making music and collabing with other artists like usual, since he just made a song with sexyy red
"Hit'em Up" is so visceral it sounds like Pac is pissed at me.
frfr
yeah, as a biggie fan, I think biggies disses were more lyrical. But I'd be a fucking liar if I didn't say it felt like Tupac had some hate akin from kendrick to drake. I HEAVILY suspect he had little birdies in his ear telling him lies to manipulate him, where as biggie saw more through the bullshit and was tired. either way absolute bangers from both sides.
I remember that song actually scared me as a child because it was so confrontational. Turns out my instincts were right 😅
The way he said something so crazy like "My 44 make sure all y'all kids don't grow" is so insane to me, THAT MAN WAS NOT JOKING he meant that
@@orye09 Funny how that works. I'm Dutch and didn't speak very good English the first time I heard that track as a child, so for me it all sounded pretty fun. Came back to it a couple years later and I was like holy shit.
BBL Drizzy is S++ tier. The musical equivalent of putting out a contract on Drake's life.
I literally laughed out loud when he pulled out the "Story of Adidon" cover art. That shit is still hilarious
Yeah compared to Rick Ross's cover art which tries to portray Drake in a similar light Pusha T's just hits so much harder
For real, Drake never living that down lol
bro, why tf a person as a black man as Drake would pose like some Jim Crow shit for a photoshoot? like, why did he do that?
It’s classic
I couldn't believe it
the lack of disses against fantano here is quite upsetting
Samjewel hide
Harry potter dissed him
If I had one wish it would be to turn into you
Negative XP anyone?
saddened and disappointed to see that not only was "the fall of jake paul" by logan paul not in the S tier, but was left out all together. how can this man call himself a music enjoyer and not mention the best diss track of all time.
@webbey5047 Nah, "Its Every Night Sis" by Alissa Violet & RiceGum was better. 😂
He didn’t even mention Bitch Lasagna fake critic
@@emotionallyexhausted1410 you guys are sleeping on "sidemen diss track" by deji
@@laamasuusi1232 the greatest diss of all time is the KSI diss by W2S
Flobots did a pretty good diss track of Logan Paul after he made a dumb misogynistic parody song based on Handlebars.

Bless your heart
Having Nicki’s “Stupid Hoe” rank higher than Eazy E’s “Real Mf G’s” and Mobb Deep’s “Drop A Gem On Em” is certainly one of the takes of all time
That's insane. Stupid Hoe is one of the worst diss track of all time. Nicki knows how to sneak diss but she can't make diss tracks
Especially when his reasoning for putting Eazy so low was how the song sounded sonically.
(this is pre watching the video) I’m not super familiar with the other two, but stupid hoe is an amazing song, one of nicki minaj’s best, it’s super underrated.
@@rainbowkittycat627 it’s classic hip hop and has a bunch of history behind the two tracks. Stupid Hoe is a polarizing song that could be targeted at any female artist and has zero wordplay, it’s just a troll track with no shelf life at all.
@@dokeshi6255Ig maybe as a diss track, but just musically (i was curious so I listened to the eazy-e track) Stupid hoe is just better. It had tighter bars, a tighter flow, better music, and better production. I’d agree perhaps D is a bit to low, and maybe its better as a diss track, but as a song, nicki’s is much better. Like don’t get me wrong, the vast majority of nicki’s discography is worse, but stupid hoe is leagues above Real Muthaphuckkin’ G’s. It’s just not one of easy-e’s best songs.
No mention of Thugnificent's brutal takedown of Robert Freeman in "Eff Granddad"
you a real one
HE GOT NATE DOGG (RIP) ON THAT SHIT
Goated diss track and catchy as hell. "You just mad cus yo ass is old" 😂
You a real G
Mothafuckin grandpa...
It's crazy how "7 minute drill" from the album "might delete later" was so bad that Cole deleted it later
he did warn us tbf. we can't be too hard on him
Wasnt even 7 minutes
the biggest thing is that he didnt even need to do that -- Kendrick was obv gunning for Drake, and since Cole was standing next to him, he could get some too. the best thing Cole could have done was not to respond; respond with what he said at Dreamville (basically that he doesnt wanna do it like that, be he can if its just a lyrical exercise and not personal or whatever); shoot out a few verses; or actually commit if he was gonna invest time and effort into making a whole ass record. I know people are rewritting history of Cole's decision nowadays, but to me this whole mess is still forever going to remove him from the conversation of top/best rapper (that i personally dont think he ever deserved to be on anyway)
@@lukel.6582Pretty sure it means it took him 7 minutes to write or some shit, which shows 😂.
@@lukel.6582it's not called 7 minute drill because it lasts 7 minutes
Heart prt 6 is the most f tier diss songs out there. Drake had blatantly misinterpreted Mother I, tried making fun of Kendrick for being molested even though he wasn't? he spent the last minute of the song huffing copium and pretending he won, no energy, not clever or even catchy. Had some of the worst comebacks to the pdf allegations I think anyone's ever heard as well as doing basically nothing to discredit or even water down the dozen or so things Kendrick has said against Drake.
Heart pt 6 is like if you give a high schooler a ghost writing team
No Vaseline is the rap equivalent of Mr. Frog saying the most horrendous disgusting thing on live TV and everyone staring in complete disbelief
U mean hit em up ?? lol
@@tarkatanwarkamp5065 Nope he definitely did not mean hit ‘em up

Yuno Miles in S tier
Kendricl Lamar Drake
DRAKE KENDRICK LAMAR DRAKE DRKAE
Bro shitting on everyone
better than everyone in the game since the 80's
He ascends tier lists
Something has always creeped me out about Drop A Gem On Em' by Mobb Deep, because it's more of a warning than it is a diss. Prodigy and Havoc are telling Pac that he’s going to die if he keeps rolling the way he did, fast forward a month later and he was dead. Even if Mobb Deep showed condolences and removed the track from radio straight after, what they said still stands.
Felt like dude saw the future fr
Absolutely. Song should've been higher on this list
616 in LA is crucial to the beef. Wish it got love and recognition bc no one considers it or talks about it.
Anyway. Funny how Kendrick doesn't really have any true disses, but then drops consecutive predominantly S tier diss classics. Lol stays proving he's in his own league
For real, 6:16 in LA was so damn good, by far one of my absolute favorites from the beef and I think more similar his Morale era.
"Who am I if I don't go to war 🗣️"
I like it a lot sonically but as a diss it’s just decent and this diss is comprised mostly of the most standout disses not necessarily the best.
@@thecluckster3908 It's not really a diss. It's a choose your own adventure/warning for Drake.
@@morgydee In my playlist. My favorite song in the battle package, but not a real diss rap. Maybe a verse of calling Drake out but the rap itself was genius, just genius.
SURVIVALL🗣️
Anthony hates chronological order for some reason
Melon been a /mu/ copy pasta since he first got dial up.
YES
@@frameandiwhat does that have to do with him not putting it in chronological order?
When are the quadiki torches coming out though??
What are you gunna do? Write a diss track about it?
This is the first time in my years of watching Fantano that I've ever had to comment and publicly disagree, Real Muthafuckin G's in D tier is legit insane we gotta throw rocks at you for this one fam
Yeah fr. Like what?????
exactly man i feel the same way about “the bridge is over” by bdp. it’s a culture shifter just like real mf gs and should be higher as well imo.
This song is c+
So this is what it feels like to disagree with Fantano.
The beat on this one is pure 🔥
Yuno miles dissing kai cenats barber is s tier
Yuno Miles dissed Kai recently lol
Who tf is Kai Cenat
@@paulwalker7498 Twitch streamer
@@Wienerdog5 Thanks. Had to google him lol
Pusha's voice and delivery in Adidon is so charismatic and menacing. His laughter at he end at "upset" and how he flowed that sick sick sick to six six six. Daaamn. Drake shoulda responded, so we could have gotten that surgical summer. Drake not putting up a fight has been depriving us from some good songs Pusha (and Kendrick) obviously both had in the tuck 😅😅
Sick sick sick.
how much time that man has?
the spider joint
Not only that, but literally every single line in that diss track holds so much weight, he spared no hate, it all hits so hard
@@teriyakichicken9969and then drake lickers gonna cope like “all he said is that drake has a kid lol”
Heart part 6 staying out of F is insane
Drakes beat and flow was solid which saves it from F
@@JKPrimetimeyeah and the begging “reveal” is pretty decent as well
It’s a pretty good track. It had good rebuttals and reinforced his massive claims but It simply didn’t have the energy it needed. Felt like a round 1 track.
Idk I thought it was a terrible song with him on the defense from start to beginning. Doesn’t sound like a beginning song. It just sounds rushed. Lyrics didn’t match up, felt like he had his ghostwriters not on the same page? And he spoke for a couple of minutes crying about everything? Idk bro I never liked drakes music so I’m biased but this song was no exception to what I expect from him.
@@JS-qc1xsI feel like there was only so much he could do, I mean how do you prove you’re not a pedophile other than showing every one of your body counts ages but you can’t really rap that shit 😂 Kendrick put him in the tightest corner
D tier for Real Muthafuckin G's is up there with the worst Fantano takes of all time
Im saying bro i know it’s just his opinion but the culture definitely has that song in s tier. Shits so gangster.
I was dumb founded by that take. Say what you want about who won the beef, Eazy E did a phenomenal job with Real Motherfucking G’s. It’s status as one of the best diss tracks of all time is well deserved and Melon really just disrespected the man and his entire legacy with that wack ass take
@@tanmanstudios Eazy-E easily won the beef, he literally killed Dre's credibility as a 'gangsta rapper'.
And he was the guy that made the term 'studio gangsta' popular'.
So he had an impact on the overall culture as well.
Eazy's track was all facts while Dre's track was just some B+ tier yappin' and some sus comments how they wanna fuck people from Ruthless and Tim Dog lol
@@Ghostface_10also he was getting paid a good % of what Dre was making so it was a win-win if Dre did have good diss tracks on him
stopped watching this lame ass bullshit video just for that. this guy fell OFF
I’m sorry but it’s insane that you included Bigfoot but not Hiss
Had the same thought!!
And no paper plates. That's gotta be a top ten
Tbf, "Hiss" has only a few bars aimed specifically at Nicki, whereas "Big Foot" is entirely about Megan.
@@sirtoby2070 I've seen a few people recently saying Hiss might actually be 100% about Drake. It's not too much of a Stretch considering how he played both sides when she was dealing with the court case (saying he supported her, but then dissing her multiple times on his album with 21 Savage).
Not sure i believe it, but it'd honestly be pretty funny if it was true.
Hiss isn’t really a diss song. Nicki heard Megan’s Law and took it personally. There were more insults toward Drake to be fair.
Vegan Cookies Recipe should be in S tier
Lmao man I forgot Em said “how you gonna name yourself after a damn gun and have a man bun”
The best one imo, or def the most crazy one is def in quitter when he literally raps:
"All right, so this is what we ask our fans,
If you ever see Everlast, whoop his ass!
Hit him with rocks, bricks, sticks, throw shit at him,
Kick him, spit on him, treat him like a hoe, Bitch-slap him!
Do it for me, do it for Fred, do it for Limp, do it for rock, do it rap, do it for kid, do it for Ice-T, do it just to do it, fuck it,
He's a Bitch, he ain't gon' hit you back he's nothin' "
And the like 20 seconds later doing a beat switch at recreating Tupacs" Hit 'em up" with the exact same cadence, flow and rhyme scheme as Pac, spot on, just with different lyrics of course.
Like imagine if Kendrick asked his fans to just straight attack Drake if they ever ran into him in one of his songs. Or if any rapper did it for that matter. It would be all over the news nowadays lol.
That must be the cringiest shit ive ever heard 🤣 How anyone still takes Eminem seriously is beyond me
@@dnbd_3026 That was literally the only cringey line in that song, and he did it on purpose to respond to the cringey beard lines from MGK .. how people have such shallow opinions is beyond me
@@comealsolito804Literally the first lines are
"Rihanna just hit me on a text. Last night I left hickeys on her neck" 🤡🤡
does this sound cool said by 45 year old man 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 u coping harddddddd
@@dnbd_3026 That line wasn't meant to be cool, it was a fun way to start the diss replying to that line from MGK saying that he was afraid to talk with women mentioning Rihanna as an example, and Eminem just responded to that. I mean Em definitely had cringey bars in the last decade but Killshot was just a perfect diss, you're just taking shit out of context
Ice Cube called them bozos and it's still a vicious track
Bro could call me a scallywag and I’d never be able to sleep again
Bozo is honestly kind of a sick burn though
@@Fat-Jim Bro, scallywag 😂🤣💀
It was vicious for the time. These days if that track was released nobody would even notice it, but at that point in history, it was shocking.
@@ThatGirlMisty If something like that was released today, it would be even more wild because now the internet exists and an equivalent group as NWA which was dominant being taken down would be wild. Imagine BTS kicking someone out and they randomly drop a No Vaseline level diss track. The internet would literally melt
Lil B’s F*** Kd track may be being slept on a little bit. It was innovative because he started a beef with someone who has nothing to do with rapping. Then, the Warriors, Lil B’s hometown team as he’s from Berkeley, came back down 3-1 to KD’s Thunder to make the NBA Finals a year after the track. Then, KD came to the bay to join the Warriors and lifted the Lil B curse off of him and he won back-to-back Finals MVPs. When he left, the curse was reinstated and KDs career has been in shambles ever since.
I say all that to say, who in rap has ever definitively won a rap beef against an athlete? I think he at minimum deserves to be in the B tier.
(I’m only half joking)
no Cal Chuchesta? his drake diss was easily one of the most defining tracks of the decade

@Austin_Jason2 mfer you got 153 subs how are you close
@Austin_Jason2i am literally asking you to shut up (so close)
"Dre day only meant Eazy's pay day" was enough to make that song an S tier.
All of a sudden Dr Dre is a G thang but on his old album cover he was a she thang
That is one of the weakest lines in the track though. Especially since it can be flipped right back ten times harder in that nobody would ever know who Eazy E is without Dre's production AND Ice Cube's lyrics. Great song but I hate that that's the line most people think of when it's a really weak line
What’s so great about this line? I don’t get it
@@rouge939 Easy-E was getting payed for everything Dre did since he "owned" him contractually in a little %
@@thequinlanshow3326 One could also argue none of it would exist without Eazy's initial investment from slangin into the studio time and funds afforded for the equipment used by NWA.

Top 5 worst takes from fantano imo especially seeing Nickis diss above him
Insaaaaaaaaane.... Atleast B tier imo, can go A as a personal preference but not S
Ya I’m really scratching my head at that one.
I love that song but I agree it's horribly produced and lyrically weak
Wait where
Lil B dropped one of the hardest disses of all time 15 minutes after being dissed, thats legendary on itself. If Budden was a more known artist at the time Lil B would have gone mainstream out of that track alone
3 of the best diss tracks of all time, all aimed at drake. drake haters eating good
i wanna personally thank meek mill for getting clowned on so hard in his beef with drake. if he didn't, aubrey probably wouldn't have felt emboldened enough to try pusha or kenny.
Drake has been dissing Pusha before the Meek battle. Look up Drake First known beef in Toronto with an artist named Aristo 06/07. Drake has always been this way.
I’m a huge kdot fan but not one diss from him comes in best diss category
@@mirblu1628 sigh, why do people do this? Your not a huge KDot fan. Please be serious. Euphoria, not like us or meet the grahams are not in the best diss category? Not one of those songs? You are one of Aubrey’s angels. It’s a hard pill to swallow but your man’s lost this one. 🤷♀️
I’d say the pusha one is overrated. A lot of people don’t realize now that Drake having a kid had already been leaked for a while and since I already knew about it the big reveal just didn’t hit for me. Also randomly making fun of his friend having multiple sclerosis was corny af.
@@tanijacs413the way we respond to people like him is we simply say “cope.” That’s all that needs to be said.
What about when 9th President William Henry Harrison dropped a diss track on 8th President Martin Van Buren? (It exists, look it up)
man spit bars and then fucking died of pneumonia one month into the presidency
kinda lost by default when he died a month into presidency

*dies*
*refuses to elaborate*
what a legend tbh

Eminem's run of diss tracks during the 2000s is honestly insane to look back on.
it's actually insane

He should've included his disstracks against canibus
Cannabis should be S Tier for his booty munching abilities alone
Lol surprisingly, fantano didn't bring up how Canibus' skills to eat a dude's @SS. 😅
I fkng love that Canibus' entire legacy boils down to him eating another man's cake lol
He could’ve just said kick instead of eat. But I guess it’s memorable the other way

@@docvince1491I’m pretty sure the term “eat ass” had a different meaning compared to how it’s used now
I appreciate that you actually have knowledge of hip hop’s history! Seeing Mobb Deep and Boogie Down Productions on here is dope
Real MF Gs in D is insane anthony
Boy you should have known by now Anthony duz it
as soon as i saw that i ran to the comments lol
agree, that shits crazy
eazy went so much harder at dre than he first did it's not even close, dre day at A and real Gs at D is wildddd
I’m pretty sure that’s my most listened to diss track lol
6.16 needs to be included in A Tier, very short but still a huge mental taunt. It was the calm before the apocalypse Meet the grahams.
I agree 100%
Fantano the type of guy to listen to a song
True!
A few things:
-Euphoria is S+, best diss track in 20 years
-Joe Budden dissed Lil B on Twitter, and LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER Lil B dropped the link for “T-Shirt and Buddens” legendary!!
-Shether got a copyright strike and wiped from the internet basically immediately because it used the original Ether beat, and Nas was probably taking it down cause he sided with Nicki (I think they were label mates?) It was a fire track but basically unlistenable because it was unavailable to listen to
I wasn't expecting melon to come to the conclusion that Eminem is the most effective diss artist ever.
I mean its undeniable.
Eminem Ws lately
Everytime Drake sees his mom sitting down, he probably gonna think about Meet the Grahams, if he hasn't already. 😂😂😂😂😂
How is the heart part 6 not in F? He literally said "if I was fucking young girls I promise I would've been arrested"
I feel like the F tier is reserved to "it's even AWFUL off-context". Which to be fair, the lyrics on that song alone like you mentioned could put it on that category, but it isn't as bad sonically I guess
Not to mention completely misunderstanding Mother I Sober, demonstrating fully that Drake does not have the intellectual capacity to battle Kendrick
Because sonically it’s good, the title was a good move, and the very beginning was good with the “reveal”.
@@thecluckster3908 What reveal?
@@peko3050 the “reveal” that drake implanted the info of the daughter and the photos Kenny got. I say that in quotes because there’s really no evidence that there is or isn’t a daughter and it’s very vague, but if true it’s pretty shocking.
Real mf g's is one of the hardest tracks produced and gets rated at D?
CRAAAAZZZZYYYYYY Work
Real MF’n Gs is A tier, Melon.
Real Muthaphuckkin Gs in D tier aint it
“Dre day only met Eazy’s pay day”. I mean there’s many memorable lines but that was what sealed the victory for Eazy.
Dre day was on all the time on the radio and MTV when it came out.
@@javi__... very commercially successful fs but as diss songs Real MF G’s takes it. Much more memorable lines. “You only 60 pounds when ur wet and wearing boots” along with “All of a sudden Dr. Dre is the G thang but on his own album cover he was a she thang” (with photos to prove it). “… just an actor who mastered the bang and the slang” and “Never ever once have you ran with the turf But yet in every verse claim you used to do the dirt”. All of that with the fact that Dre owed Eazy a percentage of all his earning just gives it the edge for me
@@CameronJPapa03 dre day isn't just a successful diss track its one of the most successful diss tracks.
@@javi__... being successful is nice but it’s not the be all end all for disses. “Not like us” is a number 1 hit but the battle was won with “meet the grahams” and that song has no commercial appeal. Same with “checkmate” and “Story of Addidon” and “300 bars and runnin” (which I woulda rated a little higher too)
Where is Quik vs. Eiht? Dollars and Sense.
meet the grahams to me would probably be the new standard now. not only was it a great defensive move -- dropping it not even an hour later than your opp and snuffing all the fire of your opps biggest weapon -- but it is also a massive attack in its own -- a slow, surgical, psychological profile of how broken your opp is as a person, how their family has failed them, how they are failing the generation that comes after them, and telling it straight to your opp that the rap battle is not even the biggest battle, it is life living as themselves. yiiiiiiiiikes
I truly hope it doesn't become a new standard, because I don't think anyone could do it nearly as well as Dot does. It would just come off as cringe imitation if anyone else tried.
It's hella surgical how it overshadows Family Matters using it's own strategy by using streamers hyping it up live. And the first line just totally hits everybody who knows the context of everything.
People talk about everything EXCEPT how utterly disrespectful it is to not only mention the man’s family but have a conversation with them telling them Drake is a weirdo.
The genius in it is that if any of Drakes family mentioned in the song hears it it wouldn’t even feel like a “song” to them and again no one mentions that part. One of the most disrespectful line crossing disses ever
@@evanc.1591 i dont quite mean it would be the standard as in this is the format that new diss tracks need to follow, rather that this is the highest epitome of what a diss track can be -- the platonic ideal, if we want to get even more pretentious 😅
@@WowoWinn-lc9qb the prescience it has also serves to highlight the other 2 disses that came before. the foreshadowing of euphoria, and the straight up warning in 6:16 all unfold in the strategy and lyrical content of meet the grahams
BDP called out an entire borough, and dismantled an entire crew, brutally, and got a C?
Real he a clown for that, I am a massive Queensbridge Hip-Hop fan but BDP shammed and burnt down all of the boroughs legitimacy for years. You couldn't start a career as a rapper from Queens for ages without being brutally roasted.
I feel like you really underrated Easy E. The revelation that he was getting paid by Dre’s records was a big part and I honestly like the tracks flow and delivery especially the left blow part. Feeling like it should be in B or A tier.
He didn't just underrate him, he kinda shit all over the song
Having Bigfoot but not Hiss? I feel like it deserves a moment
Rap Devil over Real mf G’s is actually so stupid
I can only imagine Fantano saying "She-thang was discriminatory against Trans-Gangsta community", while others have excessive homophobia but they had very good careers, you know :). Lyrically praising Dre's diss while extremely scathing lyrics of "RMG"s is absurd. He talks over Eazy-E's lyricisim but doesn't even know Eazy-E's lyrics in the song were written by Dresta, a true G. The most likely reason he does this is that Dre's diss is his sweetheart especially because of production, which got destroyed by a much low quality. If Dre won purely by production it would make the hiphop scene like he would have dream of, which says a lot about how he actually looks at hiphop.
@@paperhats5201 Dre got destroyed by Eazy. Everybody knew it. Dre such a poser. Credits to him as a ex. producer. But no fucking with some real gangsters.
I do want to say, if you do listen to rap devil, it holds sort of true. Killshot is leagues better but still.
in my opinion, exodus 23:1 is the best diss track of all time simply because of the consequences, it can also be considered to the prelude to push & drake, kendrick & drake beef.
ive never heard of that, a lil backstory?
you really could trace it all back to birdman not paying neptunes for the what happened to that boy beat
Oh shoot that would be crazy if someone can tie it that far back
@@coldloner7453the whole issue actually goes back to the early 200s when Birdman didn’t pay Clipse and the Neptunes for What Happened To That Boy
same Artist but the real beginning of that beef on wax was mr. me too where they dissed lil wayne for wearing bape. and even prior to that baby not paying the Neptunes for what happened to that boy
Surprised to see the consistency of Eminem's diss tracks having that impact on people's rap careers. Would've liked to hear Fantano's opinion on the Mariah Carey diss from Eminem where he put the phone calls on the song. That and "Bully" are my favourite diss tracks sonically speaking.
Bully is definitely S tier diss track but it was never released officially it was leaked.
6:16 in LA definitely deserves a mention, probably a lot of people’s favorite from the whole beef next to Not Like Us
Of the four Kendrick songs, it’s personally my least favorite. It’s not bad or anything, I just think that the other songs are so outstanding that they overshadow it
@@yahtforott4706 i just find diss songs hard to come back to, all of the kendrick ones have been really accessible besides meet the grahms. but i really like the lowkey vibe and sample of 6:16
@@mannis true true
Fantano, putting Eazy-E so low is blasphemy. That song still bumps.
Amen. I've loved it since I was in second grade.
It’s a good song but the problem is that no Vaseline decimated Eazy so badly that it doesn’t matter. Without no Vaseline it’s a b-tier song with it I agree with d-tier
Drop A Gem On ‘Em in C Tier is criminal.
Yup, it was the best diss at Pac from the whole beef.
Yeah how the fuck did he put it on the same tier as fucking MGK. Blasphemous.
Its a good song just not a great diss.
I dont really watch melon when it comes to melon for hip hop. He even thinks 50 is washed up
He isn't cause you need to be good in the first place to be washed@@PapaClay115
I thought it was weird that Melon spent the entire video praising and dissecting Hopsin’s diss track for Damien Ritter, Ill Mind of Hopsin 8. Like, I get that he’s a big Hopsin fan but there are definitely other diss tracks he could have covered
Eminem is the boxer with an undefeated record who never fought anyone else near his skill level.
This comments definitely deserves to get out of the underrated category
Rap Devil above Eazy-E is a shambles.
Hes not saying MGK is a better rapper.
You are comparing an individual song to an entire artist. That isn't how this works. If you think it does, then that would explain the confusion of his placement.
If you think that specific track by Eazy-E is a better diss track when considering context and skill overall, you're operating entirely on nostalgia.
I say this as someone who thinks Eazy-E holds a superior place in hip-hop history.
@@TheLethalDomainPlease tell me how a song that literally starts off with "beard weird" is better than E's track? Also not to forget how lame the entire track is? Oh i get it you're operating purely off of recency bias. See how flawed that logic is?
Eazy E being D Tier is blasphemous
Yeah... It's easy a E
@@erdnasiul87 Its a real muthaphukkin S
I’m sad melon didn’t review peggy’s “I Cannot Fucking Wait Until Morrissey Dies”
im sad he didn't do rebound
that song was my first introduction to jpegmafia, its so good
Even though the list was full of eminem tracks, I did miss the situation with mariah carey. The way he uses the embarrassing things he's done as a weapon against her is truly something i haven't seen among the rap industry
There's also cannnibitch that was pretty funny one that was a tier
Putting Nicki Minaj above Easy E is criminal.. Need to swap those 2 diss's around.
Ja calling Eminem gay is hilarious
I mean by this point it's a cliche in every diss. That and calling someone's gangster into question, saying they took their wife, or making physical threats.
It would be funny if Ja wasn’t doing it cause he was also homophobic at the time
Even Eminem calls Eminem gay lol
I hate to be THAT guy but Pusha T's Exodus 23:1 is legit a hall of famer. Beat, Biggie's laugh, predicting the Wayne-Birdman drama, flow, video visuals. Perfect.
S tier fasho
I think family matters had the making for a catchy song like back to back, the reason why family matters fell flat isn't so much drake's fault, its kendrick lamar, dude went supervillain fuckin genius shit dude and fuckin dropped the most scathing, scary, depressing mother fuckin song not even 30 minutes later. Kendrick made sure that family matter never got its time in the sun. how can you bop to family matters when you hearin "you lied" in the back of your head? all of the momentum that drake built up for family matters was instantly sucked away, suppressed and then redirected when he released not like us. 200iq shit. dont rap against kendrick ever.
Forgot to cover the 100 Taylor swift ex boyfriend diss tracks smh smh
King of The Hill- Westside Connection
The Bitch in YOU - Common

T9's beef is with a whole industry and he's still successful. Fuck JCOR
Fantano, you forgot the most legendary diss track of all - Macho Man Randy Savage's epic teardown of Hulk Hogan, "Be A Man"
You really put MGK's "Rap Devil" over Eazy's "Real Muthaphuckkin Gs"? Are you kidding me?
I swear this guy is just delusional
@@AinnRubiix It gets worse. By chance I ended up finding Fantano's track review of Killshot from 5 years ago and he says MGK is "dog doo doo" not worth Em's time, and "kinda boring, kinda bland". That sounds much worse than a C tier
@@Aegon6he said that while referring to MGK himself not the diss he made.
That actually makes sense. The nicki minaj one tho
@@thecluckster3908 He was also talking about the diss
toast
WHY EVERYBODY DOESNT GIVE A SHIT TO 6:16 IN LA??? 😭😭
yws thank
My favorite of the disses tbh. It's the "quadruple entendre" song that Drake was begging for on Taylor Made.
I was just about to say that. It's underrated asf.
i think the fact that it's not on streaming kind of prevents people from listening to it the same way as the other three tracks. but yeah, it's a pretty essential supplement to euphoria.
@@BacchusAurelius-yj4mbquintuple
I don't think Taylor Made was a smart idea at all, who in their right mind is gonna take clearly fake AI vocals seriously?
Yeah it just gave Kendrick and Drake haters more ammo. Drake tries to be super calculated but he’s just a moron
Especially coming from the guy who's repeatedly been called out for being a culture vulture and ESPECIALLY against Kendrick Lamar. To me, it's the absolute dumbest move Drake made in the entire beef
Mariah Obsessed is goddess tier
damn he really went melon mode with this one
It's melonin time!
53:30 quite sad to think about how Biggie wasn’t the one primarily engaged in the beef, yet he was the one who paid the price of it all.
lil goo goo dissing yung ga ga was underrated asf😢 beat line is when he said “your not invited to my birthday party” needs more listens!
Eminem praise from Mellon? Never thought I’d see the day
now im just waiting for the houdini reaction/praise lol
@@Stqlthhe’s not gonna like it lol
@@yamomspotatosalad818he liked mmlp2 which means he enjoys an amature eminem.
@@StqlthHe's not gonna like it and justifiably so lol
Nah, F KD by Lil B on the list caught me off guard, that diss track is a hood classic
Absolutely
Melon putting Rap Elvis and Real Muthaphukkin G's on the same level is such a crime
Putting Dre Day ahead of Real Muthaphuckkin’ G’s is crazy
Dre Day over Real Muthafuckin G’s is atrocious
I appreciate the restraint of you not putting the vegan cookie recipe in the S tier, Melon
Cal Chuchesta’s diss track on Drake better be in S - Drake never responded (I wouldn’t wanna square up against Cal either), _and_ with that beat and Pusha T feature? Groundbreaking!
Push’s lyricism on that track needs to be studied.
Kendrick found more ways to make "Not Like Us" a lot more brutal.
The "He tries to put Kendrick-Kendrick, by copying from his homework" couldn't have been said better.
HISS 100% should’ve been included
freaky
Nah lol
Thanks for letting me know before I watched the entire hour 😅
Yeah she kinda nailed Drake and Tory’s fans
It's unreal that it's not. How do you include Bigfoot and not Hiss
Woulda loved to see 6:16 in LA here
yws thank
wZ%
Super underrated track
Fantano is much better at this kind of content than he is at album reviews imo. I appreciate his takes on new music, but I think his deep historical knowledge and context works much better for him in this type of video. He’s better at connecting and discussing larger trends and history around music than he is at analyzing individual pieces of music.
Needs to be called American hiphop diss ranking btw
No mention of any of the following:
Skepta / Wiley
Stormzy / Wiley
Skepta / Devilman
Black Midi / Ed Sheeran
John Lennon / Beatles
Etc.
Glad someone else already commented this, I was just about to.
Insane to me considering he is somewhat in the know and has reviewed multiple UK rap / grime albums as well.
@Jordddann crazy that things like wish you were here, nasty, still disappointed etc never get mentioned on these lists. Like you say, especially when fantano regularly speaks on grime
Skepta- Nasty is S tier easy
A. No one cares B. No one cares
How you forget dollas + sense? That’s arguably the greatest diss track ever
I was looking for this comment. “E-I-H-T now should I continue? You left out the G cuz the G ain’t in you.” Man I been listening to that shit since the 90s and I still put it on 90% of my playlists.

“Dear seed, I’m sorry that that melon is your father”
Real Muthaphukkin G’s being in D tier is one of the most trash takes I’ve ever heard about anything
and Super Ugly in A-tier is comical, and Im a big Jayz fan. The Blueprint2 diss he did should've been ranked, and that diss was far better than Super Ugly.
Fuck KD is S tier. It's a timeless banger.
