Diving deep into research for this piece, we found something interesting in the secret “sauce” of rap history.
A pattern emerged, loud and clear - the biggest, baddest rap disses, the ones that we still can’t get out of our heads, came as a RESPONSE to an initial dig.
Just think about it:
Nas’s “Ether” was actually him hitting back at Jay-Z’s “Takeover”. Pusha T’s “Story of Adidon” was an answer to Drake’s “Duppy Freestyle”.
Eminem fired “Killshot” in response to “Rap Devil” by MGK…
And remember “Back To Back”?
That was Drake standing up to a tweet from Meek Mill saying he “doesn’t even write his own songs”.
So, as we start our step-by-step guide on how to write a killer rap diss, remember this:
Try to use your future “powers for good”, so to speak. Save your most hard-hitting lines for a response.
It’s like saving the best for last. Why? Two reasons.
One, you get to play the “I didn’t want to do this, but you forced my hand” card (we’ll dive deeper into this in tip #3), making you look like the bigger person.
Two, and this is a fact - the crowd loves a fiery comeback more than the first jab.
So, save your knockout punch for the right moment.
When it comes to understanding how to write fire rap disses, this first tip is pure gold.
The key to really landing a punch lies in your ability to highlight just how your opponent has messed up in life, in one way or another.
If you want to really tear them apart, or in today’s lingo, ETHER them, you’ve got to master this art.
So, the number one aim in any rap diss is to make it absolutely clear to everyone listening that the person you’re up against has messed up big time in life. It could be their career, their relationships, their looks, anything really.
In a bit, we’re going to help you shape your own rap disses using this guideline. But first, let’s illuminate this point with some examples from the rap battlefield:
Interestingly, both Pusha T’s “The Story of Adidon” dissing Drake, and Drake’s own “Back To Back”, follow this rule of underlining how the other person has failed in life. - Розваги
I had two battles; I won my debut and lost my second battle. For my debut I memorized everything 200% and was drunk on my second (that's on me). If I had any 3 pieces of advice it's this:
1. Preparation; I've seen way too many battles of people choking; make sure you're 200% on the battle with your what you gotta say
2. Delivery: You can have the best bars, but if you're delivery is wack you will lose the audience.
3. Perform sober, some people need drugs or alcohol to perform...if that's the case then do that shit at rehearsal NOT at the battle. Drink and smoke after you won your battle!!
I analyze their diss and retort by responding with complicated disses that always have a better flow and more rhyme. I’m trying to do this next battle with only literal f23k ups based on whatever they said. I always include that after I’m done with them they will have a lyrical spotter! The crowd loves that one!
What are you saying right now?
Thank you ☺️!
