‘No Vaseline’ Called Best Diss Track Of All Time

Recently, Ice Cube’s “No Vaseline” won the title of the best diss track in all of hip-hop history on Twitter. The internet is always in some sort of debate about a range of topics. This time it was about what people online thought the best diss track in hip-hop was. On XXL Magazines Twitter account, they posed the question to people, and Cube’s track began to trend on Twitter. Numerous song titles appeared online, but one that remained constant was Ice Cube’s “No vaseline” track. The song comes out around five minutes and 13 seconds, which is pretty long for a hip-hop track. However, the time is used to go after almost every member of N.W.A. from Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, and MC Ren. Cube even goes after the group’s manager, Jerry Heller, for some shady business deals. The song was released back in 1991, over 30 years ago.

Why “No Vaseline” Stands Out

“Lookin’ like Bozos/ I saw it comin’ that’s why I went solo.” are some of the first lines that Cube says in the track. They help set the tone for everyone listening and paints the scene for his departure from the group. More specific diss lines are, “Yella Boy’s on your team, so you’re losin’/ Ay yo Dre, stick to producin’ /Callin’ me Arnold, but you been-a-d*ck / Eazy-E saw your ass and went in it quick.” With over five minutes of lines like these, it’s no wonder people see this record as one of the best diss tracks of all time. Check out the full song below.

When XXL Magazine put the question online people had a lot to say about the subject. One hip-hop enthusiast said “No Vaseline’ and it’s not even close. Not trying to take anything away from tracks like ‘Hit ‘Em Up,’ ‘Ether,’ ‘Story of Adidon,’ or ‘Killshot,’ but – ‘No Vaseline’ is one dude coming for four dudes and he annihilated them.” The best diss track in hip-hop history seems to be unanimous on Twitter.
