A diss track or diss song is a song primarily intended to disparage or attack another person or group. While musical parodies and attacks have always existed, the trend became an increasingly common in the hip hop genre as part of the hip hop rivalry phenomenon.
And without further ado, here are five hot tracks for your earpiece:http://youtube.com/watch?v=iYw2CLtww_A
Royce da 5'9 featuring Tre Little: Malcolm X
for those of you who think Hit 'em Up is as gritty and street as they come, here is the real shit coming straight from Rock City. While it got little to no national exposure, Malcolm X hit Eminem and D12 exactly where a diss track is supposed to - it wrecked their street rep in Detroit and became an instant local classic.
Best line: 'Cause he's in it, Bizarre say G-g-g-g-g-g-unit
I bet you throw some extra "g's" in it
Just like a stutterin' fool, can't reach intelligence
He sweats when he raps, cuz he got a speach impediment
Snoop Dogg: Pimp Slapp'd
One of about a million Suge Knight disses, but by far the best. Snoop rides a classic G-funk beat and attacks Suge in what is usually considered his strong point - his tough-guy street image.

Best line: You so hardcore/why ain't you go to level 4/oh I know/but I walk the main line every time I go down/you can check my G files/I do it L-B-C style
Nas: Don't Body Ya Self
50 Cent is the archetypal studio thug, with the additional annoying tendency to start a high profile beef whenever his record sales go South. Recognizing this, Nas responded to 50's constant shit talking with a wax funeral that didn't even mention his name.
Best line(s): Niggas don't want beef, they vegetarian/Scared of pussy you climbed out of Caesarean
and they want to know why I don't have an answer for niggas/its because I truly understand these niggas/scared of me so they point out family members/like I can't point out somebody's grandma to niggas
Royce da 5'9: Who got Bodied
Royce is the reigning king of beef on wax. When a little known Oakland MC named Mistah Fab won a freestyle battle with Royce, he made the mistake of repeatedly mentioning it on his tracks. Royce took it to the tracks, and came up with perhaps the most ridiculous diss in history. Clocking in at a solid 7 minutes 25 seconds, Royce ridicules Fab's style, his attempts to use Royce's name to get famous, and his claims to know 'real detroit rappers' (Fab named 3 crews from detroit that he was supposedly tight with, and Who Got Bodied includes samples of them on the phone with Royce saying that they don't know or want to know Fab). The industry fears Royce, and this is why.

Best Line(s): im'a sound off/this nigga's a clown y'all/50 niggas with him jerry curls poppin out of clown cars/show's over bozo...
you about to get shot up like a cap gun at a racetrack
KRS 1: Ova Here
For some ridiculous, possibly psychadelically influenced reason, Nelly (yes THAT nelly) felt the need to step up to Chris. No real sick lines in this, just a call to arms to real hip hop heads. I haven't seen or heard shit from Nelly since this dropped, so it probably did the trick.
best line(s):
You better Chillout like Chuck, I kick like three Norrises
One of my sixteen bar rhymes is eight of your choruses
Does it matter to you? My crew
If it does, you know what the hell to do
Throw your guns in the air, pump it like yeah
Let these bitch ass rappers know we in here
Go to the shows huh, boo 'em off stage
Tell 'em KRS told you they at the end of they days
Let me tell you let's give hip hop a lift
And don't buy Nelly's album on June twenty fifth
