The Official "Who Was He Dissing" Thread

[DMTxTHC]

Lets discuss lines that clearly were subliminal shots but left you wondering about who the target was after first listen

Pusha T on We Got It For Cheap: "Im the best since he died and he lied"

Always took this one as a reference to Big and shot to Jay. I heard people saying it really was against Pac but that dont seem to make sense

I don't see how that would be against Pac either. But "the best since he died" part was obviously toward Big.

PUSHA T ‏@PUSHA_T

BIG, I channeled u for some of my best work to date...Hell Hath No Fury. Thanx for the inspiration. #stillthebestever

...and the "he lied" part sounds like it was toward Wayne. Since Wayne said "I'm the best rapper alive since the best rapper retired" around 2005. And Pusha and Wayne had beef since 2006, with a brief period of reconciliation when Wayne was released from Rikers.

Jay-Z on Where Im From: "Im from where (...)you and your mans hung in every verse of your rhyme"

Never really knew who this was directed at until I saw Prodigy talking about how he instantly knew that this was about him and Nas

Yeah, Mobb Deep put out a song called Trife Life in 95 which had Prodigy rolling deep in Bed-Stuy with pistols ready for drama in the song. Jay took offense to that and put out Where I'm From. The video for Where I'm From parodies the video for Shook Ones Pt 2.

Cole on that last verse on Who Dat:

"a couple of yall aint took a field trip to the hood

ay me I'm fresh prince I'm will smith to the hood Baby!

aint sayin names but we not the same

all that money and the fame dont change the fact that u lame"

I know he had a song with Drake during that time but this really couldnt have been anyone else but him

Those the first that came to mind Imma come back with some more....What yall got

There were J. Cole and Drake comparisons back in 2009, but Who Dat came out in April/May 2009. Drake and Cole didn't collab until fall of 2010.

...I thought It was a diss when it came out.

Yeah, I feel that Big Sean was dissed on I'm On One as well

And whats up with these new niggas?

And why they think it all comes so easy

But get it while you here boy

Cause all that hype don’t feel the same next year boy

"I'm just feeling like the throne is for the taking... watch me take it."

I feel that^ was a jab towards Kanye/Jay. Plus Drake said they had to scrap the idea for a duo album thanks to WTT.

“Me and Wayne scrapped the idea of a collaboration album,” Drake exclusively told XXL. “We just agreed that it would be looked upon as…It would be sort of this competition [with Watch The Throne]. I feel like it would get caught in this whirlwind of hype. [Wayne] agreed. We just said, ‘If we do it, we’ll do it down the line. But right now is not the time.’”

Who was dmx talkin bout in trina moe?

 

[DMTxTHC]

Ooh that looks like "what's her name"

Chances are that's what's her name

Chances are if she acting up then I fucked her once and never fucked again

She could have a Grammy, i'll still treat her ass like a nominee

Just need to know what that pussy like, so one time is fine with me - Drake, No Lie (2012)

...I think Drake was dissing Rihanna. Rihanna had a song called What's My Name in 2010 that Drake ironically appeared on. Not to mention that Rihanna and Drake had a thing in the past, and Rihanna has five Grammys to her name.

Good ain't good enough, and yo hood ain't hood enough. - Drake, Amen (2012)

...I think Drake sent some shots at GOOD Music, given the tensions between GOOD and YM these few years.

To go old school, i always thought Ultramagnetic (specifically Kool Keith) was dissing Rob Base on "Give The Drummer Some" with the lines:

"I'm on the court, and I'm fading away with a

Jumper, I shoot a rhyme in your face

Add the points while I rob the bass"
