Top 20 beef songs


19. Hate Me Now freestyle- Cam'ron featuring Jim Jones dissing Nas(2003)
The New York rap scene has always been funny in that as opposed to a lot of other cities, New York dudes just can't get along. Much like 50 cent, Cam'ron has had beef with just about every rapper to come out of the Big Apple in the last 15 years or so. Number 19 on the top 20 best beef songs of all time features Cam at his absolutely most disrespectful. I think he's since apologized for the "take your daughter, R Kelly, have my way with her face" line but that doesn't take away from the coldness on display here. The back story for all the hate involves Nas temporarily losing his mind and insulting a slew of NY rappers in a misguided attempt at a motivational speech on Power 105. This led to the majority of these rappers striking back including the dipset. Jim Jones sounds especially disgruntled on this, the origin of his "kufi smacker" nickname. Bonus points for calling someone Nelson Mandela in a derogatory way.

Best Line: "And your moms'll whip wop head, and you claim to be a hip hop head, Oo wop 2 shots in his hip hop head, that way the whole world knows that hip hops dead."

  1. Johnny Bagels, you have taken the blog to a whole new perp-level. Your post probably scared most of the people who looked at it.
