Yeah, sure, there has been Kendrick vs Drake, and Wiley vs Stormzy, but let’s be honest, there’s one rapper whose absolutely legendary for his diss tracks.
Eminem, obviously.
He even dissed his own kids in his new album, having done one of his ‘most brutal disses of all time’ in response to a lyric about his daughter, Hailie.
And while we might all have our own favourite diss track from Slim Shady (RIP, if you know, you know), an official ranking has revealed his most savage hit at a celebrity of all time.
Unsurprisingly, the lyrics are absolutely brutal.
Based on a whopping 19,900 votes, Ranker.com broke down '20 of the harshest disses Eminem’s ever dished out’.

The top five is populated by the likes of his diss 'The Warning’ about Mariah Carey, the aforementioned ‘Hailie’s Revenge’ in response to Ja Rule, and ‘Cleanin’ Out My Closet’ about his mum, Debbie Mathers.
But the number one spot goes to his 2018 track, ‘Killshot’.
Even featuring an illustration to look like him in the artwork, the diss track came amid Eminem’s feud with Machine Gun Kelly.
The track was a response to MGK’s ‘Rap Devil’, which was itself a response to Eminem's ‘Not Alike’ and as the ranker sit points out: “Eminem makes sure to address every single one of Machine Gun Kelly’s grievances on the track.”
It adds: “He really goes in with lines like ‘I'm 45 and I'm still outselling you,’ and ‘I'd rather be 80-year-old me than 20-year-old you.’”
And here’s the dankest diss from ‘Killshot’, which apparently makes it Eminem’s most savage celeb hit of all time.

“Insult me in a line, compliment me on the next, damn, I'm really sorry you want me to have a heart attack, Was watchin' 8 Mile on my NodricTrack, Realized I forgot to call you back,” he slams.
“Here's that autograph for your daughter, I wrote it on a Starter cap, Stan, Stan, son, listen, man, dad isn't mad, But how you gonna name yourself after a damn gun and have a man bun?"
Eminem previously looked back on the infamous feud with MGK as he explained he had to ‘destroy’ the star without ‘making him bigger’.
“Now I'm in this fucking weird thing because I'm like I gotta answer this motherf**ker,” he explained to Sway Calloway.
“And every time I do that it makes that person - as irrelevant as people say I am in hip-hop - I make them bigger by getting into this thing where I'm like, 'I wanna destroy him, but I also don't wanna make him bigger,' because now you're a f**king enemy."
