In the fourth episode of ‘Billboard Unfiltered,’ Billboard staffers Damien Scott & Carl Lamarre break down the top 15 most scathing diss tracks in the history of rap battles. They go in-depth about J. Cole’s “Grippy” feature, Sexyy Red’s newest album and her career projection, and more! Carl Lamarre: “Ether” was scathing, more scathing to me because that’s what it took for Hov to get to that point.
Clearly Hov has self-esteem issues. I love you, Uncle Hov, by the way. Damien Scott: So I think people hold him to a different standard.
If Drake would rap about “Grippy,” no one would care. Carl Lamarre: What I appreciate about Sexyy is her authenticity. She’s out here twerking at a Zach Bryan concert.
You don’t see that every day, you know what I’m saying? We are back from Memorial Day weekend. Damien Scott: It’s just the two of us. Carl Lamarre: Just the two of us.
Trevor Anderson is in Paris. He went to go see Nadal who caught an L unfortunately, pretty sus. But we’re gonna hold it down in Trevor’s memory and Nadal’s.
We caused a little ruckus last week on the internet. We put out our Top 15 Most Scathing Dis Tracks of all time. Damien Scott: Yeah.
Carl Lamarre: I think before we dive into, you know, 15 to 1, we should break down, because there was a lot of confusion, like as the greatest, you know, disses of all time. Damien Scott: Not the greatest. Carl Lamarre: The most scathing.
Damien Scott: Not the best, not the greatest. We saw everyon.
