    back to back ain't a top ten diss record

    Back 2 back isn't even a top 50 diss record.
    How is in the top 10 when Drake didn't mention his name??!?
    Best line of the song was asking was it his tour or his girl's tour.
    Rubbish.

    I'd throw Blueprint2 in the conversation.

    Also LL Cool J's Back Where I Belong

    I think back to back will go down as great because of how it was pushed... how can a diss record be a hit record and receive a Grammy nomination..

    btw that was the equivalent of a company buying out their competitors.. like the nba buying out the ABA... or the nfl buying out the afl but keeping the their original names.. ? the WWE did the same thing..

    I would given a lot more credit to his team had "Back to Back" been out 1st but that RnB diss track "Charged Up" takes away from it imo...

    I just listened to Back to Back again. The only two lines that really stood out were the "Trigger fingers/twitter fingers" line and the "Is that a world tour or your girl's tour" line.

    However, I will say that the beat was dope. You could say the beat carried him and he simply rode it.

    After I listened to Back to Back I listened to The Bridge Is Over again. They're kinda similar imo. KRS rode the beat and there were a few stand out punchlines "Roxanne Shante is only good for steady ? " and "Manhattan keeps on making it/Brooklyn keeps on taking it/Bronx keeps creating it and Queens keeps on faking it"

    I guess Back To Back is this generation's Bridge Is Over.

    I'm not sure if he won the beef with 50 but he murdered Eminem with that "You mothers a ? head and Kim's a ? /What's Hailey gonna be when she grows up" line.

    That line is more etherous than Hit Em Up.

    It was a perfect way to end a diss track.

    Idk bout that "back down" was as good a diss as you can ask for.

    Disrespectful bars- check
    Dope beat- check
    Good hook- check
    Funny- check

    Then fif put it on the b-side of "in the club" his biggest hit ever...checkmate (Jada pun intended)

    He didn't have to say his name, but all the legendary disses let you know WHO was getting clapped at, which made the personal touch that much more intense to listen to, and better overall.
