Rap's Biggest Beefs

DJ Semtex goes through ten of the biggest beefs in rap history - the feuds and diss tracks that changed the game!

DJ Semtex guides you through 10 of the biggest beefs in rap history - the feuds and diss tracks that have changed the game!

Beefing isn't a recent addition in hip hop, but lately it does feel like things have reached a whole new level, with rappers playing out their high-profile clashes over social media and releasing outrageous diss tracks overnight. Whether it's Drake vs Meek Mill, or 50 Cent vs the world, when rappers beef, everyone talks about it.

As more and more artists get dragged into lyrical warfare, Semtex asks the question 'Is beefing good for the game?' and 'When does clashing cross the line?'. We hear words from the rappers involved, including Jay-Z, Ice Cube and Skepta, plus analysis from DJs and journalists close to the music.

Prepare to hear some of the nastiest lyrics and harshest put downs, as Semtex spins all of the biggest diss tracks to have emerged from these disputes.
