Melle Mel is being trashed for his newly-released Eminem diss track after teasing it online the night before.
Premiered on YouTube on Tuesday (August 8), the clip is simply titled “Melle Mel’s Response to Eminem’s Latest Diss” and finds the Hip Hop pioneer mentioning The Game and Pee-Wee Herman as he hits back at the Detroit native.
“The Top 5 is cap/ You the piss that’s on the floor in the elevator of rap/ Why you ducking on The Game when you shit on my name?/ Why they put Pee-Wee Herman in the hall of fame?” he raps.
“I would give you a pound, but I’d break your hand/ I got a lawyer so white, he will take your land/ Yo, check your man, come and look at your friend/ ‘Cause I think that Eminem is popping pills again!”
Check out the short diss record below:
Responses to the track were not very kind to the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five rapper, with some saying that even Nick Cannon’s lacklustre attempts at dissing Em were better.
“I never thought it was possible to make a worse diss than Nick Cannon’s disses to Em. Today, I was proven wrong. Well done,” one person wrote, while another added: “Between YOU, THE GAME and NICK , I think you might beat them in having the worst disstrack EM has ever gotten.”
A third person commented: “Cannot believe one of the originators of hiphop released this and stated going against Eminem was going to be ‘the easiest thing he’d ever do’…. Delete this Melvin, you’ve embarrassed yourself massively here.”
“Omg. Sad seeing ogs go out like this. Really sad,” another commenter said. “But hey it’s about as good as any new music that comes out now adays lmao.”
Another person demanded “a 500 word apology” from Melle Mel for wasting their time, while an Eminem fan said they were let down by the track as they were looking forward to Eminem’s response — which they now doubt they’ll get now. “Was hoping this would get Em out for a response but absolutely no chance,” they wrote.
In March, Mel told The Art of Dialogue that Em’s relevance in Hip Hop is directly tied to his skin color. “Obviously he’s a capable rapper,” he said. “If you was talking about sales, he’s sold more than everybody. If you were talking about rhyme style, okay he got a rhyme style. But he’s white. He’s white!
“So now if Eminem was another n-gga like all the rest of us, would he be Top 5 on that list when a n-gga that could rhyme just as good as him is 35? That had records and all that? He’s 35. He’s white.”
He continued: “And anybody could be as mad … They could feel how they wanna feel. If you don’t think that race plays a part in the equation of how great he is — I heard one of the dudes that’s down with him, Royce Da 6’9″ [mislabeling Royce Da 5’9″] or one of those – I heard he’s just as good as Eminem. Why he ain’t as big as Eminem? Because he’s Black! Ain’t none of that shit hard to figure out. Eminem gets a top spot because he’s white.”
Eminem never quite forgot about the comments as he addressed them in a firestorm of deadly bars on Ez Mil‘s new track, “Realest.”
Released on Friday (August 4), the single features Shady staring down his critics as he raps: “Hip Hop has been good to me, huh/ But when they say that I’m only Top 5 ’cause I’m white, why would I be stunned?/ My skin color’s still working against me/ ‘Cause second, I should be, to none/ Bein’ white being why they put me at five (Nope)/ That’s why they can’t put me at one.”
Then, turning his attention to Melle Mel, he spits: “Shoutout to Furious Five and Grandmaster Flash, but boy/ There’s someone who really is furious/ Stay out his path, his wrath avoid/ I’ll be the last to toy with a juice head whose brain is half destroyed, like a meteor hit it/ Now with Melle Mel, he lost his ass to ‘roids.”
Awful lol 🗑️
Have ‘‘em come to west Oakland. Knocked his vaccinated ass out.
Scissor me Daddy !
I find it hilarious when ppl are like “come to my shithole city, we animals, we hurt you physically!!!”. Yeah. Kinda why most sane and not poor people avoid your shit city.
You’re just bad, naming West Oakland! Get your crack ass head into rehab!
Bro can’t even stand from his chair and talking about gang banging…
These dudes really go at Em like he’s not one of the best diss track spitters in the game! Mel had as much chance as Nick Cannon and Benzino.
Melle would beat Eminem’s azz in a boxing ring
I think ur confusing em with someone who cant actually box. This dude was praised by de la hoya for his skills in the ring and has a professional boxing coach. Even tyson said em can throw his hands..
Way to go with the irrelevant comment.
In a boxing match??? Wtf is wrong with u? This is hip hop, not celebrity boxing lol
LoL I was gonna say the same
Mel is actually an amazing producer. I’m shocked at how horrible and simple the beat is.
Mel is actually an amazing producer. I’m shocked at how horrible and simple the beat is. The funny things, em is a real b-boy. He lives the art. For sure he is a fan of Mel’s and knows all of his production and music. This is lame. Mel can’t F with Em at all. Hands down. Legends clout chasing is just pathetic.
Actually wasnt bad
Lol
U fuckin capping ass bitch stfu
@earl… wasn’t bad? So, what bar was solid here lol? Name the best bar he had. Was it when he referred to Em as Pee Wee Herman… because apparently being white makes them the same? That’s like dissing a black person and calling them Eddie Murphy for no reason. Or the top 5 is cap, you the piss on the floor of the elevator of rap? Wtf? Where are ppl living that piss is on elevators? I got a lawyer so white he will take your land…. as if africans haven’t, and still aren’t stealing land from different nations constantly over the years, engaging in the slave trade like in Libya today… it’s just horrible lyrics. Like really really bad. MGK looks amazing in comparison.
“Where are ppl living that piss is on elevators?”
This one ghetto ass country called America… you may have heard of it…
The “Piss in the Elevator of Rap” is a double-entendre, referencing the notion that A) He was carried to the top by black emcees that he collaborated with combined with his Caucasian sub-urban fans in the 1990s, B) Melle Mel, being the pioneer of Hip Hop that he is, was the elevator of rap… he elevated rap as the foundation. Eminem pissed on the elevator of Rap aka Melle Mel.
The only reason America is ghetto is because it’s full of black animals that don’t belong in a civilized society. Take them away and America would be a paradise!

I would like to offer my condolences to Melle Mel’s reputation and credibility, should have kept your mouth shut, RIP. Carry on!!!
This man spit 1 of the illiest verses in hiphop (The Message) how dare he drop some trash like this. Somebody should’ve stopped him. Eminem gets busy but he is still a guest here and should not be addressing our elders like that.
So, because Mel is a pioneer, Eminem shouldn’t respond to disrespect? Mel said he would make short work of Em in a battle…. Yes, Em is a guest. But, addressing disrespect is rap 101.
50 years we are celebrating and he is disrespecting an elder? It’s so many others closer to his skill level he could address. Em should’ve picked up the phone and dealt with this another way out of respect. Now we have all these Stans who just started listening to hiphop in 98 speaking ill about 1 of our four fathers. I bet Nas won’t publicly disrespect MC Shan.
But why Make an a comment about Em out of nowhere? on a pubic form. (VLAD TV). I think the issue with Mel is more than we know about. If you watch the Math Hoffa Interview with Meth, Meth also says things about Mel. to the affect that Mel feels that everything after him is trash. also if your going to make a comment about someone and expect something back, its usually going to be Em. Hip Hop has always been competitive from the days of DJing and MC’s, so for the response to be on the 50 year anniversary, that stays true to the culture. Plus I don’t understand the hate towards Em. there are rappers who have never heard a Tupac or Bigge verse, yet Em appears 100% a student of the game and he stills gets shunned. Just my opinion
Melle Mel you my homie we go way back to park jams and center jams for 3 dollar cover charges. Stop it bro you can’t mess with these young guns. Styles are different today. What you did back in the day won’t wrk today.
You know you old when Em is a “younh gun”. Lmao.
Eminem is 50 and Mel is 62 lol
@B he’s over a dozen years younger than Melle, u goofball
Melle Mel you my homie we go way back to park jams and center jams for 3 dollar cover charges. Stop it bro you can’t mess with these young guns. Styles are different today. What you did back in the day won’t work today..
Most unnecessary beef ever.
He embarrassed himself here. How did this get released though? Nobody got hurt and they kept it on wax, that’s the most important thing. I wish they’d speak it out and do a show together or something
Still better than the last 6 Eminem albums. Melle Mel sticks to his old school roots. What do you expect? Autotune and a wack trap beat? I love the minimalism and that he has balls. Btw only radio listeners idolize Eminem. There are a lot of MCs that could murder him lyrically, flow-vise and even in beats. But these MCs are not on pop charts, they don’t want to perform with Elton John and don’t want a Dido feat.
Cope haha
I think everything Em has made for years sucks. But to say this is BETTER is a complete joke. Style is just 80s. The lyrics are some of the worst ever seen for a diss track.
@mac Have you always been this slow or were you in an accident of some kind ?
mac=roids
Eminem had to be REALLY good to succeed. He couldn’t just be an ok rapper and coast on being white. Look at Vanilla Ice. Em had to bring it every single time and, guess what, he did and he still does.
This effort from Mel is just embarrassing.
How do we go from Melle Mel to Em West Oakland? Neither is from there or any ties that is way off lol
Damn legend still got it. Impressive to be honest. Respect for keeping the style and beat old school. Very early 80s. Love it.
🤡🫵
Fuck eminem
Fuck Eminem
Fuck your mother for not doing society a favor and swallowing you at inception
I got a few laughs off of this. This isnt gonna destroy Em’s career but its not as horrible as these hype beasts are making it. Its just the music is very 80’s, and the vocals are clean. I’d listen to this over Travis Scott.
Nah man, that shit was embarrassing. Nick cannons diss was legit better
Thank GOD im entitled to my own opinion 🤡
Nah it was not bad. Just way outta touch
Sorry..but what was he thinking lol. I tried to give it chance I really did. Eminem shouldn’t even bother responding. Mel dissed himself with his own track.
Was this a real diss or was this a leaked version from 1979 for another guy named EM
Yeah, when all your idols turn into old and bitter racists. Sad to see…
Both of these dudes are washed. Having said that, the diss wasn’t great. But it wasn’t bad either. Eminem deserves his flowers all the same. He is one of the best to ever do it. And if his music wasn’t so corny and his beat selection so wack, he would definitely be the GOAT.
He’s 50 still out rapping most guys half his age, including your favorites. Cope
This guy is before my time so when I listened to the song, if somebody had told me this was LL Cool J or Biz Markie I would have believed them. He should have at leat used a beat that wasnt so 80s.
Somebody call Marty mcfly lol
Rick Rubin was right there when Russell Simmons created Def Jam and brought hip hop to the masses. The Beastie Boys partied and toured with Run DMC and LL Cool J so its a bit misguided to act like white folk haven’t always been a part of hip hop. Yeah, it grew out of the south Bronx and Black youth looking to party but white folk been in it since day 1
How much they forget!
MELLY MELL KILLED HIMMMM U CORNY NOT FROM NO DECENT TOWN OR CITY LAMESSSSS DID U HEAR IT???? YALL LAMES
Jesus christ,smdh,i’m never getting that time wasted back!!!!!
Who?
If I was Em, knowing the “love” he shows to Hip Hop, and his creativity. I would simply “usher” Melle out to pasture with an “Anti-diss” track; called “We got the message”. It would be awesome, and Mel would be a fool to try and clap back.
I think Eminem is one of the best rappers of all time. And it’s not cuz he’s white, it’s cuz the man can rap! For fucks sake, why y’all gotta candy coat this? Eminem is super talented, got some of the maddest, baddest raps out there. His collaborations are excellent; but he’s top 5 cuz he’s white? Come on, close your blind eyes and just listen. The man is super talented. Don’t be jealous, just be honest!!! Damn people. Wake up and listen to the music. Love you Em❤️
Nobody in the hood cares about Eminem. Have ‘‘em come to west Oakland shirts off get knocked out.
