Take it out on the mic
It’s no secret that in the rap game sometimes things can get heated. These rap artists can have disagreements, and they take it to heart which can end in a battle of bars in the form of a diss track aimed at whoever they were upset with.
In recent memory, Drake and Meek Mill had a duel on the mic when Meek came out saying that Drake didn’t even write his own songs. By rappers dropping diss tracks it ends up being a way to avoid violence and it’s also something that the fans will enjoy. In no order, here are 15 of the best diss tracks ever released.
