So it made for a “must listen” status at the time. But after that...yeah. It’s not all that “good”. Most diss records have a short shelf life to me though.
>Bitch In Yoo is the gold standard of dis tracks IMO
It's #1 in my book too. For a lot of reasons. Lyrically it's top notch, of course. But the fact that he went after someone who, at that time, was still considered top 5 dead or alive and Comm was a relative unknown. Legendary. Perfect beat for the moment too.

11. "To Me "The Bitch In Yoo" Is Like A Top 5 Diss Track" In response to Reply # 7
Common went at Ice Cube so hard, he was breaking down his career and all his movie roles to even dissing WC & Mack 10 (which I think WC didn't deserve it at all, cause I like WC more than Cube) but he made it personal, not about a coast or a place, and even got Pete Rock to give him heat to spit on.
Of course 90's listeners heard this song before but to me the only reason why most younger people haven't heard it cause it wasn't on any of Common's albums, just on a single off a Relativity Records compilation "Relativity Urban Assault"; only recently in 2010 did they put it on a compilation called "Go! Common Classics" and for that reason maybe that's why it maybe considered slept on.

I know Benzino is low hanging fruit (to steal a cliche from someone else in this post re: MC Hammer) but "The Sauce" and "Nail in the Coffin" are both top 5 IMO. Em shredded those beats.
