** One brief footnote to the feud was Music/JCole's "7 Minute Drill", his diss to Kendrick released not long after "Like That". However, Cole [[KnowWhenToFoldEm pulled out from the beef]] and publicly apologized to Kendrick, admitting that [[CreatorsApathy he wasn't interested in fighting]] and in fact had nothing against him; he was simply pressured into releasing a diss due to peer pressure, [[MissingEpisode opting to have the song removed from all platforms soon afterwards]]. Considering that Kendrick hasn't mentioned Cole -- instead focusing on Drake and his alleged conspirators in sex trafficking -- it seems like there were sincerely no hard feeling between the two.

** Drake would repeatedly target Kendrick's artistic integrity, claiming him to be beneath the "Big Three", with "Push Ups" calling out his pretentious aspirations of pushing for the ''art'' while targeting mainstream fair with cheap guest verses for the likes of Music/Maroon5 and Music/TaylorSwift. Things became more serious with "Family Matters", where he directly accused Kendrick of [[DomesticAbuse beating his long-time partner, Whitney Alford]], and that Kendrick's son was actually born of an affair with her and Kendrick's creative manager, Dave Free. Drake briefly released another diss alongside "Push Ups", "Taylor Made Freestyle", which featured AI recreations of Music/TupacShakur and Music/SnoopDog's voices -- [[MissingEpisode this has since been removed from official circulation]] due to threats of litigation from the former's estate.

* Music/{{Drake}} and Music/KendrickLamar -- after around a decade of quiet bad blood between the two -- ended up in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake%E2%80%93Kendrick_Lamar_feud a massive feud in 2024]] that took up the hip-hop world by storm, kicked off by Drake and Music/JCole insisting on the track "First Person Shooter" the previous year that the three of them were the "Big Three" of modern hip-hop. While this was meant to be a sincere compliment, Kendrick would take to the song "Like That" (with Music/{{Future}} and Metro Boomin) and ''[[FriendshipDenial reject]]'' [[FriendshipDenial the offer]] to instead [[TakeThat viciously attack Drake for various transgressions]], kickstarting a battle of disses that became ''intense'' in short time due to not just the quality of the music, but the various extreme allegations they were hurling at each other. To summarize the sides of the beef:
** Drake would repeatedly target Kendrick's artistic integrity, claiming him to be beneath the "Big Three", with "Push Ups" calling out his pretentious aspirations of pushing for the ''art'' while targeting mainstream fair with cheap guest verses for the likes of Music/Maroon5 and Music/TaylorSwift. Things became more serious with "Family Matters", where he directly accused Kendrick of [[DomesticAbuse beating his long-time partner, Whitney Alford]], and that Kendrick's son was actually born of an affair with her and Kendrick's creative manager, Dave Free.
** Kendrick would release several more disses within a shorter amount of time: "Euphoria" came weeks after "Push Ups" to hunker down on Drake's own lack of artistic credibility, exploitation of people around him to maintain his relevance, as well as his general misogyny and insecurity about his race. "meet the grahams" and "Not Like Us" came out within 24 hours of each other (the former coming out ''less than an hour'' after "Family Matters" dropped) and each came with even heavier allegations, accusing Drake of [[ParentalNeglect hiding a second child that he abandoned]][[note]]([[HistoryRepeats a repeat of the reveal Drake suffered during his beef with Pusha T years ago]], with Kendrick alleging that Drake's daughter is even older than his son)[[/note]], being [[PaedoHunt a pedophile targeting underage girls]], safeguarding several sexual predators on his OVO music label, and even accusing him of running a sex trafficking ring out of his mansion.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41qC3w3UUkU Hit 'Em Up]]" by [[Music/TupacShakur 2Pac and the Outlawz]] is an all-out declaration of war toward Music/TheNotoriousBIG, Music/PuffDaddy, and the entire East Side Hip-hop scene.

* "[[https://www.As befits one of GangsterRap's most iconic rappers, [[Music/TupacShakur 2Pac]] has a lot of zingers thrown throughout his illustrious carrer. From the infamous "Hit 'Em Up" to lesser-known disses like "Against All Odds" and "Watch Ya Mouth", many other rappers felt his wrath, to wit:
** Music/TheNotoriousBIG - Tupac felt that [[WeUsedToBeFriends his former friend]], along with Biggie's manager Music/SeanCombs, were responsible for his shooting in 1994. Even though they denied this, Pac was unconvinced and just aimed "Hit 'Em Up" primarily at them and all other personalities associated with them. Biggie mostly ignored the beef, though he did sneak in a few subliminal disses here and there and [[https://genius.com/Busta-rhymes-the-ugliest-lyrics had a guest spot]] on an unreleased Music/BustaRhymes song that dissed Tupac more directly.
** Mobb Deep - The duo featured on Capone N Noreaga's "L.A, L.A" remix, which dissed the West Coast, and 2Pac felt it dissed him, so he took a few potshots at them - most notably on "Hit Em Up", in which he mocked Prodigy's sickle-cell anemia (which many felt went too far). Mobb Deep replied with "Drop a Gem on Em".
** Music/JayZ - Jay-Z never dissed 2Pac, but due to being a prominent East Coast rapper who was good friends with Biggie, he still fell into 2Pac's crosshairs. Most infamously, the song "Fuck Friendz" had the line "Ain't no nigga like me / Fuck Jay-Z!", which Nas would later sample on his own Jay-Z diss "Ether". The intro to "Bomb First (My Second Reply)" also mentions Jay as being "of 'Hawaiian Sophie' fame", which was a Jaz-O song that Jay guested on and is infamous for being his first appearance in a music video, which featured him looking very uncool in a [[HawaiianShirtedTourist Hawaiian shirt and lei]]. "Hit Em Up" also originally had a line aimed at Jay-Z, but the Outlawz felt that he didn't really have anything to do with the beef and talked Pac into taking it out. On his end, Jay had his own diss aimed at 2Pac, but when Pac died, while Jay did [[http://www.mtv.com/news/2240652/jay-z-tupac-2pac-diss-clark-kent/ perform it once]], he opted not to release it out of respect.
** Chino XL - Chino's style involves dissing pretty much ''everyone'', and his song "Riiiot!" has a line poking fun at the theory that 2Pac [[PrisonRape was raped in jail]]. Pac didn't take too kindly to this, and included a quick diss on "Hit Em Up" ("Chino XL, '''fuck you too!'''"). Amusingly, the song also dissed ''Biggie'', with a line poking fun at "Biggie's stretch marks". For what it's worth, Chino claimed that he wasn't really dissing Pac with that line, and that the emphasis was on "trying ''not'' to get fucked", as Pac was definitely trying not to get raped while in jail. Chino did [[https://genius.com/Chino-xl-2pac-freestyle-diss-lyrics record a proper diss track]], but the two eventually ironed out the misunderstanding and were on good terms at the time of Pac's death.
** Music/{{Nas}} - 2Pac felt that one of Nas' lines on "The Message" ("Fake thug, no love, you get the slug, [=CB4=] Gusto) was aimed at him, and took shots at Nas on a few tracks on ''The 7 Day Theory''. Interestingly, 2Pac and Nas had a chat face-to-face where they squashed the beef, and 2Pac promised to remove the disses against Nas from the album, but died before he could.
** All of Junior M.A.F.I.A. - This is really no surprise, what with them basically being Biggie's answer to the Outlawz.
** Music/LLCoolJ - 2Pac felt that the song "I Shot Ya" (not to be confused with Biggie's song "Who Shot Ya?") was aimed at him, and approached Keith Murray about it, but they were luckily able to defuse tensions before a beef could really start.
** Even Music/DrDre on his last album, after Dre had left Death Row to form Aftermath. Pac mistakenly thought Dre had abandoned him in prison, when he'd really just realized that Suge Knight was a godawful manager. Obviously Tupac wasn't going to feel the same way about the man who'd just bailed him out of jail due to Knight's notoriously violent threats towards those who oppose him.
*** Adding on to the Dr. Dre entry, listen to the [[https://www.
youtube.com/watch?v=41qC3w3UUkU Hit 'Em Up]]" com/watch?v=WwbaC-BjRZ0 original beat]] of "Toss It Up", which was produced by [[Music/TupacShakur 2Pac him. When Dre left Death Row, he took the beat with him and the Outlawz]] is an all-out declaration of war toward Music/TheNotoriousBIG, Music/PuffDaddy, tweaked it with Teddy Riley to create Blackstreet's hit song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KL9mRus19o "No Diggity"]], which forced Tupac to alter his song's beat, and the entire East Side Hip-hop scene. led to him dissing Dre and Blackstreet in turn.

* ''WebVideo/EmpiresSMP'' Season 1: Joel writes one about his fellow ruler, fWhip, with his friend and brother-in-law, Jimmy backing him up. The diss track is [[VitriolicBestBuds ultimately intended to be friendly]] and ends in a request for peace between the empires. It's apparently noteworthy enough to have an entire prophecy dedicated to it.
