Wars of Words-- set to music

[Casey1505]

I know there are many rap songs contaning “disses” of other rappers, and the fueds carry on off of the albums as well in many cases.

I recently listened to a song called FURB, by a singer named Frankee, which was a response to a song about her by her ex-boyfriend. I think there’s a third song in this soap opera. It’s not a genre I normally listen to.

What other examples of battles within a song are there? The only one coming to mind is Lynard Skynard slamming Neil Young in “Sweet Home Alabama (?)”.

And Warren Zevon entered the “fray” with “Play it All Night Long.” Note that Lynryd Skynyrd considered “Sweet Home Alabama” as a joke and weren’t serious about dissing Neil Young.

Matthew Fisher expressed his dislike for Procul Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” in his “Going for a Song.” Fisher was with Procul Harum and just got sick and tired of having to play it; he commented on that in his first solo album.

Pink in “Don’t let me get me”:

LA told me, “You’ll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are.”
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She’s so pretty, that just ain’t me

Probably not personal though. For personal, see Eminem:

Will Smith don’t gotta cuss in his raps to sell his records;
well I do, so fuck him and fuck you too!
You think I give a damn about a Grammy?
Half of you critics can’t even stomach me, let alone stand me
“But Slim, what if you win, wouldn’t it be weird?”
Why? So you guys could just lie to get me here?
So you can, sit me here next to Britney Spears?
Shit, Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs
so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst
and hear 'em argue over who she gave head to first

and

Chris Kirkpatrick you can get your ass kicked
worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards, and Moby
you can get stomped by Obie, you 36 year old bald headed fag blow me
You don’t know me, you’re too old let go its over, nobody listens to techno

See kids the proper way to post on the SDMB is to post first, then read the OP. :smack:

Ok, non-Rap, I give you David Allen Coe: Graphic, hence the spoiler tags

[spoiler]Well, old Harry Reams fall apart at the seams when he saw me fuck that whore.
She sucked my dick and swallowed my nuts, and I still hollered for more.
She sucked my asshole, she sucked my toes, she’s the suckinest bitch alive.
I made her call up two more cunts, and friend that at no jive.

She don’t give me no shit about being no big time lover.
Some movie star with a jag.
Cause you ain’t shit…
If you can’t get Linda lovelace to gag. [/spoiler]:eek:
