As a rapper who is no stranger to Rap beef and diss records, Ja Rule lists his top five diss records of all time in an interview with VladTV published Wednesday (January 15), naming Drake’s diss record towards Meek Mill, “Back To Back,” as one of his top five.
“I’m going to make it my sixth man off the bench because of the impact the record had,” says Ja Rule who engaged in his own Rap battle with 50 Cent on “Loose Change” in 2003. “That record is in rotation. I don’t think any other beef record was in rotation at radio. I can’t think of another one that the radio actually added like, ‘Yo, we’re going to be playing this everyday at two o’clock back to back.’ I don’t think there’s been another record that did that.”
Drake released “Back To Back”  this past summer following his diss track “Charged Up” aimed at Meek Milly after he blasted the Toronto native on Twitter claiming he used a ghostwriter for his verse on “R.I.C.O.” off  Meek’s album Dreams Worth More Than Money.
The 39-year old Queens, New York rapper also explains why he doesn’t count Meek Mill’s answer to Drake’s “Back To Back” and “Charged Up” on “Wanna Know” as a diss record.
“It wasn’t a diss record, Vlad,” says Ja. “Drake‘s shit is a record. Meek’s diss was more of a diss with skits in there, Puff [Daddy] in there. That’s not really something you can play at radio. Drake made a fucking record that you can play at radio. It’s two different records.”
Yesterday, (January 17), Meek Mill released his 4-4 EP, which includes another Drake diss on “I’m The Plug.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Ja Rule named Boogie Down Production’s “The Bridge Is Over”,” Nas’ “Ether,” Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up,” and The Notorious B.I.G’s “Who Shot Ya,” while giving Ice Cube’s “No Vaseline” an honorable mention on his list of the top Hip Hop diss records of all time.
The full VladTV interview with Ja Rule naming Drake’s “Back To Back” in his list of top five diss records of all time is as follows:
For additional Drake-Meek Mill coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
its extra funny because in meeks wack song he said this that 50 cent and ja rule shit and 50 and ja rule both taking drakes side
That Back to Back was prewritten its all staged and it was written by QM
Back to back was one of the softest diss records ever made lyrically, the commercial, catchy beat kept it in the clubs and in constant radio rotation is why its still popular months after being released. Ja should have kept in 100 and named 50 cent I smell pussy as being in his top 5, definitely had the most impact on ending a career, his!
I smell pussy wasn’t a diss tho.. After the intro it turned into a song for the bitches.. He did however kill him on “Back Down
Your right bro, I actually met back down but thought it was called I smell pussy, good looking on the clarification
FREDDIE GIBBS – REAL…what the fuck is wrong with some of these niggas man lol
Who Shot Ya and Bridge Is Over had the best beats of all of them but Hit Em Up was the most brutal of all diss records. Common Sense’s Bitch In Yoo is also hella lethal.
Freddie Gibbs – real … no better diss beats out there better than that track… none
I actually thought Ja Rules Clap Back was a really dope diss record and he may have had better diss songs than 50 in that part if there beef
Funny how he did not mention “Wanksta”, which had heavy rotation on radio, and was a diss to him. Lmao not ot mention, Kurupt”Calling out names”, Kdot verse on “control”, which wasnt a diss but still a challenge. AND ALL OF EMINEM DISS TRACS HE HAS EVER MADE! LOL JA FUNNY
50 Cent – Funreal Music. A diss record that never gets mentioned. This damaged Cam’s career.
Hahaha that explains why he lost to 5
I fux wit Ja but cmon……..Hit Em Up gets radio play….jus the reactionary bullshit that goes on after 2001…..???? Opinions are opinions but Drake @ Meek Mill
I understand his list. But “The Sauce” by Em would have been in mine.
Short term memory Ja??? Nas Ether stayed on all day, everyday. Takeover as well. Wanksta, Hitem Up, Can I Buss by LL going at Canibus. These are all records that stayed on the radio. If he was 20 I would understand but he’s 40 and he was around for all of this
Not surprised at all by Ja’s bitch ass saying some stupid shit like this, another reason why he was destined to take that L from 50
back to back is the wackest diss record of the last 20 years. FUCK DRAKE FUCK OVO #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
This is the list:
1. Ether -Nas
2. No Vaseline – Ice Cube
3. F**k with Dre Day – Dr Dre
4. Bridge is Over – BDP
5. Back 2 Back – Drake
6. Nail in the Coffin – Eminem
7. The Sauce – Eminem
8. The Takeover – Jay-Z
9. Wanksta – 50 Cent
10. Hit Em Up – 2Pac
honorable mention:
2nd Round Knockout – Canibus
Sweet Christmas did you just put that lame Back 2 Back over NAIL IN THE COFFIN? Meek Mill, even though I don’t give a damn about MMG, OVO, or pretty much any of those wack MC’s in hip hop today (especially that fool Young Thug), I will not say his career is over. We still know who he is, but Benzino? Ja Rule? Nobody new to hip hop has any idea who those guys even are, cause Haillee’s Song and Nail In The Coffin (which is nothing short of an AMAZING diss) were career ending songs.
Realmuthafuckin g’s went hard as hell
ja rule is a hip hop legend
– said No One Ever
I smell pussy, is that you Ja? My nigga Ja Rule is still so hurt that his career was over after Wanksta and Back Down that he forgot to mention them in his Top 5.
So Pac started off a song by saying: That’s why I fucked yo bitch you fat motherfucker…. yeah that’s the best diss track of all time. Jay pulled the same slick shit on Nas on “Is That Yo Bitch.” Threw hella shade at homeboy.. anyway, for a diss to be good, it has to not only be brutal but also basically end somebody’s career.
#1. 2Pac – Hit Em Up [Niggas died over this shit]
#2. Cube – No Vaseline [Dre left NWA over this shit]
#3. Nas – Ether [Best lyrics on a diss track ever]
#4. BIG – Who Shot Ya [Niggas died over this shit]
#5. Em – Girls [You can put just about any of Em’s records here but I chose Girls. He set whiteboys in hiphop back about 10 years after he killed the other ones here. Only room for one white boy after this – Em]
#6. 50 – Back Down [Niggas forget that Ja was rackin up #1s at the time… none after this shit]
#7. Canibus – 2nd Round KO [aint nobody buying a Cool James records after this shit]
#8. Dre + Snoop – Fuck Wit Dre Day [man i remember lil kids singing on the road talkin bout Eazy E, Tim Dog and Luke can eat a big fat dick. I mean these niggas had lil kids talkin about a grown man can eat a dick. Crazy]
#9. BDP – The Bridge is Over [MC Shan was weak sauce anyway but KRS showed who was the King of NY]
#10. Drake – Back 2 Back [Weak ass lyrics but still murdered meek miLL]
Nobody died over Hit em up!Pac and Biggie dying had nothing to with that situation.And Jay was more personal then Pac was with Hit em up and that situation help bring Nas back cause it lit a fire under his azz.Meek was caught in his feeling and the situation didn’t call forhim to say anything,but he did and now Fif is going at him too.Foolishness!
Back to Back is the best diss record of all time. Catchy beat, check. Quotables, check. Killed a career, check. Had 99% of people, including the haters and doubters, declaring you as the winner, check. Drizzaveli is the GOAT. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!
fucking wackest of all time! get your dick outta his mouth you cum guzzling queen. FUCK DRAKE FUCKOVOKID #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
“Killed a career” LOL.
Meek just sold out a stadium last week.
Drake has the most pathetic fanbase on the planet.

What about ether(nas)? Second round knockout(cannibus)? The bitch in you(common)? Backdown(50 cent) and no vasiline(ice cube)? I like your top 5 but mine better lol oh and what about 300 bars(the game)?
Cot Damn these Industry niggaz ride each other cock’s hard, All Day. Top 5 in what World?
That track was soft as baby shit. Every diss track put out by aftermath about Ja’s gay ass was better that the Canadian pop star’s shit.
Love how DX keeps finding the most hilarious pics of Drake to fit his corny personality.. Keep it up, DX.. Oh, and “Back to Back” is the most overrated diss song ever..
Top 5? Try the best ever. It picked up right where Ether and No vasoline left off. Drizzy murked Meek.
Dude…you’re a homosexual, there’s no doubt about it. Best diss ever? It was the softest diss ever, Drake is still too pussy to call names. Meeks career isn’t over, Drake fans just hate him now because Drake as the pop star he is. You’re truly a dumbass if you believe this is even in the same breath as Ether. Y’all disrespect hip hop up and down for a Canadian rnb singer.
I think Drake and Ja should do love song…from 1 singing nigga to another
No Vaseline as an Honorable Mention. It still rings out as one of the hardest diss tracks ever 25 years later. DAm the West and Mid-West get no real love
1. 2pac – Hit em up
2. Nas – Ether
3. Jay-z – Takeover
4. Eazy-E – Real Muthafuckin G’s (“Tell me where the fuxk y’all find a anorexic rapper”
5. Ice Cube – No Vaseline
6. Eminem – Nail in the Coffin

8. Jadakiss – Checkmate
9. Drake – Back 2 Back

50 cent – wanksta (dissing Ja rule ) was a smash hahahah
