In the hip-hop genre, a dis song is a song which has the sole purpose of verbally assaulting and insulting a person or a group of people. Dis songs are more often than not the by-product of heated rivalries between two or more rap artists(e.g. Jay-Z and Nas, Ja Rule and 50 Cent). One of the earliest examples of this particular type of song is "The Bridge is Over" by Boogie Down Productions.

In some cases, the diss song may be a parody of another song. One example of this is "No Pigeons" by Sporty Thievz, which parodied the TLC hit, "No Scrubs".

Examples of diss songs

  • "Ether" - Nas (dissing Jay-Z)
  • "2nd Round KO" - Canibus (dissing LL Cool J)
  • "99 Problemz (Lil Flip Ain't One)" - T.I. (dissing Lil Flip)
  • "He Ain't a Thug" - Thug Lordz Feat. Bang 'Em Smurf and Silverback Guerillaz (dissing 50 Cent)
  • "Return of Murder" - Mase (dissing Loon)
