"One on one will never beat one against four": Ice Cube on Machine Gun Kelly's 'Rap Devil' return fire to Eminem's 'Kamikaze' diss track

Former NWA rapper weighs in on whether Machine Gun Kelly's response to Eminem is as good as his 'No Vaseline', considered the greatest diss track of all time.

'No Vaseline' by former NWA member Ice Cube is considered arguably the greatest diss track in the history of rap music. The 1991 track from Cube's second album 'Death Certificate' eviscerated his former bandmates, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, DJ Yella and their manager, Jerry Heller. The vitriol and wordplay on the track hasn't been matched since, despite rap's history and ethos being dotted with diss bars by many a worthy MCs.

Sample this:

"Goddamn, I'm glad y'all set it off
Used to be hard, now you're just wet and soft
First you was down with the AK
And now I see you on a video with Michel'le
Looking like straight Bozos
I saw it coming, that's why I went solo
And kept on stompin'
While y'all mothafuckers moved straight outta Compton
Living with the whites
One big house and not another nigga in sight"
