Musicians throwing shade at other musicians in song lyrics

[Kingu Kurimuzon]

Pavement "Range Life"

Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins
Nature kids, I/they don't have no function
I don't understand what they mean
and I could really give a fuck
The Stone Temple Pilots
They're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me
are they foxy to you?

David Bowie "Lucy Can't Dance" (entire song is one big dig at Madonna)

Lucy I know what you're going to going to do
Oh Lucy look what you're doing I'm doing it too
Now you're looking for God in exciting new ways
I say trust Him at once which is something these days
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Did the world just explode?
Don't recognize anyone
But you've still got me under your thumb
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Pursuing your frenzy in Ritz or Savoy
In this sexual noise, vicious chords offer joy
You live and you die in the blink of an eye
Well I can't make you dance
Dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do
Lucy I know what you're going to going to do
But you can't buy me off in this serial world
Who who who died and made you material girl?
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
So I'll spin while my lunatic lyric goes wrong
Guess I'll put all my eggs in a postmodern song
Lucy can't dance to the noise but she knows what the noise can do
Or this shallow orb mugged by reality
Just a few simple words like I love you, I need you
Live and you die in the blink of an eye
Still I can't make you dance
Dance to the noise
Lucy can't dance but she knows what the noise can do

GZA "Labels" (talking shit about other labels and some of the rappers on said labels)

TOMMY ain't my motherfuckin' BOY

When he fake moves on a nigga you employ

Well I'll EMIRGE off ya set, now ya know God damn

I show LIVIN LARGE niggaz how to flip a DEF JAM

And RUFF up the motherfuckin' HOUSE

Cause I smother you COLD CHILLIN' mother fuckers are still WARNER BROTHERS

I'm RUTHLESS my clan don't have to act wild

That shit is JIVE, an old SLEEPING BAG/PROFILE

This soft comedian rap shit ain't the rough witty

On the reel to reel it wasn't from a TUFF CITY

Niggas be game, thinking that they lyrical surgeons

They know their mics are formed at VIRGIN

And if you ain't boned a mic you couldn't hurt a bee

That's like going to Venus driving a MERCURY

The CAPITOL of this rugged slang, is WU-TANG

Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game

I DEATH ROW an MC with mic cables

The EPIC is at a RUSH ASSOCIATED LABELS

From EASTWEST to ATCO, I bring it to a NEXT PLATEAU

But I keep it phat though

Yo, I'm hittin' batters up with the WILD PITCH style

I even show an UPTOWN/MCA style

Who thought he saw me on 4TH & BROADWAY

But I was out on the ISLAND, bombing MC's all day

My PRIORITY is that I'm FIRST PRIORITY

I bone the secret out a bitch in a sorority

So look out for A&M, the abbot and the master

Breakin' down your PENDULUM

As I fiend MC's out with a blow that'll numb the

a-ppendix, I'm holdin more more weight than COLUMBIA

Index INTERSCOPE, we RCA. clan

That's comin' with a plan to free a

slave of a mental death MC don't panic

Throw that A&R nigga off the boat in the ATLANTIC

Now who's the BAD BOY character, not from ARISTA

But firin' weapons released on GEFFEN

So duck as I struck with the soul of MOTOWN

While CENTRAL BROADCASTING SYSTEMS are slowed down

You're Dirty, like that Bastard

It's gettin drastic



Read the label and say it loud

Another Wu banger

Thirty-six chambers, to your area

Yeah, the RZA, phat tracks on a disc

Rza razor rza razor sharp

Another Wu-Tang production kid, comin at ya

Savage..

are diss tracks too explicit to be considered shade?
