Welcome back to this astounding music and entertainment website, and today we’re bringing you the top 10 best rap diss tracks of all time; the most scathing rap diss tracks of all time.

First off, let’s start by defining the meaning of “diss track”.. this is a song especially hip-hop/rap recording intended to disparage or attack another persons in the same field.

… cause what is the point of making a diss track aimed at someone who won’t get in the booth and reply back?

In order to make an excellent diss track, you have to get as disrespectful as you can. Or just hit your opponent as hard as you can to a point you weakens them with pure facts. Be ruthless!

Hip Hop community has witnessed hundreds of diss tracks airing out aimed at, sometimes their favorite rappers, and this began years and years ago when Roxanne Shanté, Marley Marl, and U.T.F.O. were hot in the game—the 1980s.

But, what is Hip Hop if there are no rap battles? Not fun.

Hip Hop is more than just a music, it’s a movement, a message, a culture itself. Ranked by the hip-hop heads, let’s get into the top 10 best rap diss tracks of all time and see what we have brought to you!
