Cube disbanded the one of the best act in music at the time. nikkas was forced to go solo, and we got one of the best entertainers in history because it. Influence AND impact. No Vaseline >>>>>>>>> Not Like Us. And Ether has Top 50 worst beat of all time.

The problem is culturally in regards to being an emcee in hiphop.
Cube started faking Jax.


Sohh it gets hard to authenticate the c00n that ice cube evolved too. To give it credence. Over Kendrick.
whom culturally as an emcee in hiphop has no issues culturally.
from a show and prove standpoint.

This is more a cultural perception ideal. As far as impact in real time for that cultural figure in hiphop.

Like right now.

Till krs disses bambaata.

Someone could wild out and say Kendrick based on being culturally fluid and real. Someone can rank not like us over the bridge is over and south Bronx. Where since krs faked Jax. Just like cube.
Even Kendrick over Nas on Ether turns into a conversation of who souled't out a d who did not. That in that convo. Kendrick would be given precedent over nas. As Kendrick has never souled't out.
Plus kendrick thwarted like the endgame of jiggy in drake.

that nas ushered in with collusion with puff. Resulting in.
kendrick ending drake's jiggy fake'n jax dominance.

not like us not even a top 3 kendrick diss


i can agree.
imo,..i feel the cam'ron dear stan diss track styled diss, meet the grahams is the best diss.
while being more marketed for a b side nostalgia critic.
yet because not like us is marketed. as the gateway commercially accessible record.

it acts as kinda the pop gateway and indicative of the entire dialogue.
for the battle between him and drake.

NLU is #1 and it's not close to being close.

Considering the goal of a diss track is to humiliate your opponent, Not Like Us is absolutely #1 or at the very least in that goat discussion. it had one of the biggest impacts, not just for a diss but for a rap song period and got the dude to file a lawsuit. The damage it has done was very visible, and shyt has probably generated some of the catchiest quotables ever.

We saw the organic impact it had immediately. As soon as it dropped, Drake was already on the phone with his lawyers as people instantly started singing that song everywhere. It was even released for free the first couple of days.

One of the first times a song became instantly impactful before it even started trending on social media. shyt was already viral in the steets and club before publications even wrote the first article about its release.

No question about it.

NLU and Ether are the 2 best diss tracks and I don't care about impact or sales. But if we start including these criteria then NLU literally transcends rap. Biggest moment in music culture in years.

meet the grahams one of the most:scust:
tracks i’ve ever heard

If not the most ruthless shyt ive ever heard.
to me that song is what people think ether is. what people think hit em up is

dot broke that shyt down to a t

i see euphoria as the best bar out battle record of the bunch. Just all out bars. Rebuttals type shyt

6:16 is the best written track. where that song just stands alone even without the beef

the way he rapped from drake perspective in that first verse is nothing short of:banderas:

and not like us while still a good diss. Doesnt have that venom.
But dot made it in a way where he was able to make that shyt fun and catchy while still finding a way to shyt on drake and have the whole world clowning him

Its my least favorite of dots tracks but still a dope track
