    Take It Personal (Ep 186: Beef)
    Jun 2 2026

    On Episode 186 of Take It Personal Radio, we're diving headfirst into one of hip-hop's most compelling traditions: the beef record. We've assembled some of the greatest diss tracks and rivalries in rap history and woven them into one cinematic audio documentary.

    From Boogie Down Productions vs. MC Shan and LL Cool J vs. Kool Moe Dee, Hammer, Ice-T and Canibus to N.W.A vs. Ice Cube, Eazy-E vs. Dr. Dre, Nas vs. Jay-Z, and 2Pac vs. everybody, we explore the battles that shaped the culture. We also revisit clashes including Ice Cube vs. Cypress Hill, Ice Cube vs. Common, DJ Quik vs. MC Eiht, Uncle Luke vs. Dr. Dre, and more.

    There’s far too much history to cover in a single episode, but we do what TIP does best: deliver a carefully curated, immersive listening experience packed with legendary records, unforgettable moments, and the stories behind hip-hop’s most infamous feuds.

    Press play and experience the beefs that helped define rap music.

    At the break, we dissect these rap beefs. The good ones, the bad ones, even the embarrassing ones. And we have a bunch of giveaways as well thanks to Boundless Audio, Mike's Hot Honey, Homage, Get On Down Records, B-Side Buttons, Mr. Chico International and the Late Night Record Pool. • Mike’s Hot Honey • B-Side Buttons — use code TIP25 for 25% off • Get On Down • Homage • Mr. Chico International • Boundless Audio • Late Night Record Pool — use code TIP10 for 10% off You’re listening to Take It Personal Radio — where hip-hop lives, legends are honored, and the music always speaks louder than words.
