Ice Cube says that his 1991 track the best diss song in hip-hop history amid the rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
“No Vaseline is the best diss song in the history of hip-hop, and I’ll tell you why,” Cube said. “One MC, myself, I took out four muthaf*ckers and their manager. You can’t beat that,” he said on stage.
He continued, “You can’t beat that. But we did that over 30 years ago so as it stands today I got nothing but love for N.W.A ok. Nothing but love for Dr. Dre, nothing but love for MC Ren, DJ Yella, Eazy E rest in peace.”

Cube left N.W.A in late 1989 because of shady business methods by their then-manager, Jerry Heller. The “remaining members of the group continued to fire shots at Cube in their music, so Cube eventually dropped “No Vaseline” in 1991.
“You lookin’ like straight bozos / I saw it comin’ that’s why I went solo / Kept on stompin’ / When y’all Muthaf*ckas moved Straight outta Compton / You got jealous when I got my own company / But I’m a man, and ain’t nobody humpin’ me,” Cube rapped.
