3) Hit Em Up – 2Pac
You know a diss song is about to be great when it starts off with “That’s why I fucked your bitch you fat motherfucker”. We all know about the one-time friendship that 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G. had, we know about the infamous robbery/shooting of 2Pac at Quad Studio, and we all know that 2Pac felt that B.I.G. (also known as Biggie Smalls) and P. Diddy (known as Puff Daddy back then) knew he was getting set up ahead of time. This set the stage for 2Pac delivering the epic diss song Hit Em Up, which took dissing to a whole other level.
Where do we begin? Pac claims to have slept with the Biggie’s wife (singer Faith Evans), that Biggie slept on his couch and he had to beg women to let him sleep in their house, Biggie copied his style, and that he was going to kill him.
But Biggie is not the only person 2Pac scorched on this song. Lil Cease, Lil Kim, Mobb Deep, Chino XL, and Bad Boy as a staff/record label/crew got a resounding “Fuck You” from Pac. This song would be much higher on the list if it wasn’t for unnecessary versus from the Outlawz, but this let us all know that there were no boundaries that a diss song can go.
