This 1992 tune features Shanté going off on pretty much all of the prominent female rappers of the era. Vicious disses here to Queen Latifah, Monie Love, MC Lyte, Yo-Yo, Isis, and Salt-n-Pepa.

It might seem like a shocking move, but that ain’t nothing to Shanté. When she was fourteen years old, she already recorded a track in which she singlehandedly dissed all four members of UTFO!

Another example: in 1985, the last verse of “Bite This” disses some of the biggest MCs of the time, including Run-DMC, LL Cool J, and Kurtis Blow.

This tune was written by Grand Daddy I.U.. You can hear him talk about it in our podcast interview with him.

To help you trace the beef lineage, here are all of the response tracks this song led to:

• Queen Latifah, I Can’t Understand
• MC Lyte, Steady Fucking
• Yo-Yo, You Better Ask Somebody
• Salt-N-Pepa, Somebody’s Getting on My Nerves
