What's Beef? Beef is when you need 2 Gats to go to sleep, Beef is when your moms ain't
safe up in the streets. Yup, the late great Notorious B.I.G knows a little something about
Rap Beefs as he lived it and allegedly died from it. So when an MC has a feud against
another rival Hip Hop artist, shots will be fired in the studio and possibly the streets.
With that being said, we're back to our list of the Top Ten Rap Beefs of All Time.

Number 10: Remy Ma VS Nicki Minaj This beef between Remy Ma and Nicki has been
lingering for some time now. A decade ago in 2007, Nicki released a freestyle that took
shots at Remy Ma, as the two were rumored to be lovers. Remy then went to jail for 6
years and Nicki Minaj became Nicki Minaj as her career took flight. But the beef didn't
stop there, as Nicki kept up the shit talking through her lyrics. Remy then released 'Shether',
a play on words of Nas' 'Ether', attacking Nicki's image and her supposed fake booty,
then Nikci clapped back at Remy's Shether as a featured artist on Gucci Mane's "Make
Love". This beef 'curtain' is just getting warm.
Number 9: 50 Cent Vs Ja Rule When 50's friend robbed Ja Rule's chain
way back in the day, then Ja's boy took the chain back for him using violent methods.
This beef just started cooking. Ja and 50 hated each other for years after that, even
fist fighting each other in a few different occasions. Ja Rule even saying, that he was
stabbed by 50 and his crew at one point. Over the next few years, 50 recorded many diss
tracks, such as Wanksta, Clap Back, Back Down, I Smell Pussy and Hail Mary. Needless to say
50 Cent spent some time, really disliking Ja Rule..Even getting his boy Eminem involved
in the beef.. Not a fair fight 50! Number 8: Drake Vs Meek Mill
The two were once inseparable BFFs, so much so that I'm pretty sure they had matching
friendship bracelets and occasional sleepovers. But that mutual love ended with one tweet
from Meek Mill when he casually mentioned that Drake doesn't write his own lyrics. Yes,
shots fired. Twitter blew up and Meek kept his twitter thumbs moving as he says he wishes
he took Drake off his album when he found out that Drakes verse was written by
a ghost writer. Let's just say, Papi wasn't pleased, as he hit him with his first diss
track 'Charged Up' and then the critically acclaimed "Back To Back" - yes, Meek got
bodied by a singing Nigga. Number 7: Westside Connection VS Cypress Hill
Millennials may not appreciate this beef being so high up, but trust me when I tell you this,
Cypress Hill and Westside Connection's beef was as hard as it gets. As Gangster rap was
in full swing at the time, and Ice Cube being one of the hardest gangsta in the game, (this
was before "are we there yet?"), and B Real from Cypress Hill claiming Cube stole
their song 'throw your set in the air', which he claims the chorus sounded a lot like
"throw your neighborhood in the air". Then there was some chain snatching, threats,
and iconic diss track 'King Of The Hill' and comeback track "No rest for the wicked"
and "Ice Cube Killer" by Cypress Hill. West Coast Gangster Shit!
Number 6: Eminem Vs Insane Clown Posse Here are two sets of people you do not want
to fuck with in this industry. Eminem being the dopest lyrical genius ever who always
seems to be angry and ICP with their fan base the Juggalos being completely insane. Hence
the name... Both sides being from Detroit, Eminem apparently pissed off ICP when Em was
handing out flyers for his show that read ICP performing (maybe) and mentioning in an
interview that "they aren't real rappers." The beef was started, and it boiled from 1997
to 2005. With Eminem's diss track "Till Hell Freezes Over" and ICP's comeback
"Slim Anus". Add in 2010, ICP's fan base the Juggalos threw human feces at socialite
Tila Tequila's fat head at their festival. Just wanted to mention that, and say, Thank
you Juggalos. Number 5: DMX VS Ja Rule
Ja Rule doesn't seem to be liked very much does he? Even fighting with his label mate
DMX when X barked out how much Ja is trying to sound like him. After X called out Ja as
a dick rider wannabe, the two were apparently in the studio when things got heated when
guns and ego's were pulled out. No one was shot but both feelings were definitely hurt.
As the two barkers barked at each other until Def Jam records had to split the two up. What
was said in the exchange? Well, Modern Whiz has uncovered the never before seen footage,
which you're about to see for the first time ever
Number 4: Eazy E Vs Dr Dre This era of hip hop was the greatest. The
days when NWA was crushing it with Compton rappers and childhood friends Eazy E and Dre
Dre on Ruthless records. But when Dre left the group and Eazy was ambushed by Suge Knight
to release Dre from Ruthless and eventually sign with Death Row. Shit got heated as Dr
Dre released 'Dre Day' where he depicts Eazy E as an Uncle Tom in his music video.
Easy E retaliates with the classic diss track, "Real Muthaphukkin G's"... two of the
most emblematic singles in hip hop history. Number 3: Ice Cube VS NWA
Ice Cube's classic "NO Vaseline" diss track figuratively knocked NWA down like bowling
pins, words stated by Cube in a recent interview. Although it was NWA who shot first with, 'Message
To BA' as in Benedict Arnold and calling Ice Cube, "ice T Wannabe".. Cube calls
out Eazy E saying he needs to put a bullet in Jerry Heller's temple because he is being
controlled by the Jewish manager. Former NWA member Dr Dre did diss Cube back on one of
his verses on his single "Nuthing But A G Thang"... And if you're real old school,
you'll remember that No Vaseline was on the B side of the album single "Steady Mobbin"..
for anyone born after 1993.. that means the 'other side' of the tape..
Number 2: Jay Z VS Nas This rap battle was like watching Gladiators
in ancient Rome tear each others eyes out. With arguably two of the biggest names in
hip hop at the time going for the throat. It got so intense at one point, that their
mamas had to get involved... you know it's serious annnd (embarrassing) when that happens.
Nas even insinuating at the time, that Jay Z was gay. We all know that's not true as
Jay married Beyonce. Or is she his beard? I digress, Jay hits Nas with diss track "Takeover"
on The Blueprint album and Nas killing Jay with Ether. Which is considered to be one
of the dopest diss tracks ever to be made. Nas has said, that he named the song Ether,
because he wanted to affect Jay's soul with his weapon of words. That's deep...
Number 1: Tupac Shakur VS The Notorious B.I.G. This shit just went to a whole nudda level.
As the two rap titans went blow for blow at each other that ended in tragedy. Not saying,
that their death had anything to do with the beef but saying the
deaths were a tragedy. Although some conspiracy theorists believe they are still alive, and
if you're one of those people, then you'll love our video "10 Celebrity Death Conspiracies".
The feud between the rap giants eventually started a East Coast - West Coast Hip Hop
feud that lasted through all of the 90's. How did it start and end? in 1995, Tupac was
robbed and shot in New York which prompted Pac to believe that Bad Boy Records knew something
about the robbery. BIG then released a song called 'Who Shot Ya' which Tupac believed
to be a diss of him being robbed in New York. Then Tupac came hard at Bad Boy Records and
Biggie with, 'Against All Odds', 'Bomb First", and my fave 'Hit Em Up'. The
two were eventually killed months apart from each other in similar drive by shootings while
ironically both were in a car. Tupac in Las Vegas and Biggie in L.A. Rest In Peace...
