Disstracks how they have changed. For better or worse?

One of the most famous disstracks was 2 Pac against Biggie Small with the most iconic line of the song "You claim to be a player but I f**ked your wife" This track was made after Pac realised that Biggy betrayed him and tried to get him shot. This disstrack was a serious retaliation towards Biggie exposing him and returning the knife that was put in his back by having sexual intercourse with his ex wife.



When a member splits from a group this can cause a lot of controversy this happened with the group N.W.A as Ice Cube left the group to perform and make a name for himself this lead to the rest of N.W.A making remarks and insulting him. Ice Cube responded to this with the track "No Vaseline" With bars such as "Looking like straight bozos I saw it coming that's why I went solo" and "Ni**as with attitude who ya foolin" this track was good enough that N.W.A didn't have a response in his words No Vaseline knocked N.W.A down "like bowling pins".






A prodigy of Dre from N.W.A was a white rapper known as Eminem like his teacher the student also had "beef" that he decided to solve with a disstrack a good example of this was his beef with Mariah Carey this disstrack was not done because a friendship had ended or that a member had left a group this was done over love. According to Eminem a him and Mariah had a relationship. She denied this and said on the Larry King show that she just "Spoke to him a few times". Mariah takes the mic out of Eminem by making and having a Eminem puppet on her show. This beef went on for a few years until it was ended by Eminem's disstrack The warning which could be argued as one of the most brutal distracks off all time with bars such as "Oh did i say wh*re Nick?I meant a liar to" He also leaked personal information about there sex life as well as private voicemails.

The disstrack has took a turn for what could be argued for the worst depending on your age and if you are a fan of the rap scene. A group of Youtubers who are known as the Sidemen started to make disstracks about each over the key difference between the "new" wave of disstracks compared to the classic style is that there is no real disagreement here it is fabricated controversy for monetary gain behind the camera these are all friends and there are no real disses in the so called "disstracks" with bars such as "You evolved into the first male with t*ts".These disstracks are widely listened to a good example is a Youtuber called Jake Paul released a disstrack called "Every Day Bro" which ended up getting more downloads than well known rapper Kendrick Lemar. This style of fake distracks will have a negative effect on future disstracks as they may not be taken seriously and assumed to be fake which will make people look at there music in a different light they did not want there music viewed in.



In summary a disstrack used to be if a artist had a problem with another artist this song would have hard hitting lines which where there to insult the person and destroy there image now a days the most popular disstracks are fake "beef" with no intetion of the real insult or meaning when you really think about it.
