Talk:Diss (music)

Suggestions
Bob Dylan's Like A Rolling Stone? The Velvet Underground's Femme Fatale? Paul McCartney's Too Many People? John Lennon's How Do You Sleep?? Certainly these tracks are considered disses and most definitely deserve a place in this article, predating the likes of Roxanne Shante by decades. 70.72.223.251 (talk) 04:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Or Carly Simon's You're So Vain. Banjodog (talk) 21:09, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Non Hip-Hop songs
in an early form of this article, non hip-hop songs were included such as Guns & Roses "get in the ring" along with songs in the latter discussion were included, but somebody edited this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.45.197 (talk) 02:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Spelling
I just want to know since when is dis spelled with two s's? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.212.223.233 (talk) 17:37, 11 June 2011 (UTC)


 * It started as "dis." Somewhere along the way, people started spelling it with a double s for some reason. 2601:248:4B00:8850:0:0:0:65D5 (talk) 17:34, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera
Didn't Britney dissed Christina?Or didn't Britney dissed Chrisitna?--Nikinikolananov (talk) 20:28, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Dis not Diss
It is supposed to be spelled "dis", not "diss." Short for disrespect. "Diss" has become accepted by people who don't know better, but it's still wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.7.148.3 (talk) 14:25, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * disrespect or discredit (?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.79.214.6 (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2018 (UTC)


 * As "diss" has become the widely-used and widely-accepted spelling of the term in written speech, I vote keep the current page spelling "diss". --Shrinkydinks (talk) 02:04, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

The history section
I wouldn't know enough to make a change, but I'm shocked that there is no mention of hip hop or rap in the history section. Maybe we should add something talking about how diss tracks were a favorite in the 80's and 90's rap scenes and maybe talk about some notable beefs like all the stuff that happened surrounding NWA. 96.241.36.26 (talk) 16:24, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Absence of Hip-Hop songs
Since the list of notable diss tracks was removed (I believe rightfully) in June 2019, there has been a remarkable absence of mention of many of the most important tracks in this genre. I believe this can be remedied by building out the history section of the article—I just wanted to highlight that is is a topic of active need for this article. --Shrinkydinks (talk) 02:08, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Internet meme
Any particular reason why the link internet meme doesn’t include the ‘s’? – Toxi  Boi!  (public) 18:27, 19 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I've gone ahead and added the 's' due to no objection. If the exclusion is needed, feel free to add it back. – Toxi  Boi!  (contribs) 06:53, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Queen
Queen is heavy metal now? Really? SpellingMitsake (talk) 23:05, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
 * According to the source used at the article, that particular song is. It's not unusual for a band to record songs that fall in genres outside of what the band is commonly known for, and of course the whole genre thing is impossible for everyone to agree on anyway.

 * The sidebar of the AllMusic website is not considered reliable for genres according to WP:RSMUSIC, so I've changed the genre here to "hard rock" for consistency with the "Death on Two Legs (Dedicated to...)" article. —  Newslinger  talk   14:24, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
