In a country deeply divided along partisan, socioeconomic and racial lines, we should find time this weekend to focus on the things that keep us apart.
Health care reform. Abortion rights. Marriage equality. Whether or not our president is truly The Antichrist. Lady Gaga vs. Beyonce. Richard Hamilton. Drake vs. writer’s block. Should a grown man really be this excited to catch “Hot Tub Time Machine” this weekend?
You know, the important issues of our time.
Because if we’re going to be mad at each other, we might as well figure out why we’re giving each other the stink-eye.
With that mind, the PostBourgie family has come up with a list of diss tracks that even Buggin Out would approve of:
1. Scrap Metal by Cee Lo (Brokey)
2. Jack the Ripper by LL Cool J (Jamelle)
3. F*ck It (I Don’t Want you Back) by Eamon (Belleisa)
4. The Bridge is Over by Boogie Down Productions (Alisa)
5. The Bitch In Yoo by Common (R.A.B.)
6. Caught Out There by Kelis (Blackink)
Kelis – Caught Out There

7. No Vaseline by Ice Cube (Jamelle)
8. I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace (Belleisa)
9. Second Round K.O. by Canibus (Alisa)
10. Eff Sisqo by Jack Benson (Brokey). Now far be it from me to question Brokey’s musical expertise, but there’s virtually no online evidence that this song exists. So feel free to dream up any and everything you think this particular cut might be about.
Of course, this is far from a comprehensive list. It was tough to leave off “Super Ugly” by Jay-Z, the final chapter of his vaunted beef with Nas. We ain’t talk about “Ether” either. Slb suggested “Get Money” by Junior Mafia since it was basically a diss track directed at Faith Evans.
And on and on we go. So feel free to make your own suggestions.
Because, heaven knows, there’s plenty of hate to go around.
