In the wacky world of diss records, crew-on-crew crime often provides the funniest moments. It’s one thing to talk greasy about some kid you’ve never met, but when you start riffing with someone you used to hang-out and perform with, things can really get ugly. Such was the case with former Juice Crew buddies Craig G and MC Shan. Having weathered numerous attacks from the outside (“Juice Crew Diss”, “The Bridge Is Over”), as well as in-house rivalries (G Rap and Kane) during their reign at the top of the rap game in the late ‘80’s, the loss of super-producer Marley Marl was the death-knell for the this legendary collective.

I dug-up some old radio tapes the other day so I thought I’d throw this interview with Nas on here (as you can see form the photo, God’s Son also pioneered Nelly’s band-aid gimmick). It’s from Tim Westwood’s Radio 1 Rap Show in the UK, back in 1996 before his musical tastes went out the window. Nas was about to drop It Was Written, and he speaks his mind on the whole Biggie situation, shows Jay-Z a little love and talks about the album and the Firm project (Cormega really got the last laugh on that one, didn’t he?). De La Soul roll through towards the end to kick it about Stakes Is High as well. If Nas bores you, you can always laugh at Tim Westwood’s corny voice.
[I edited out all the songs in between, since they were doing the top ten through the show].

Considering they named their group the Dismasters, it’s suprising that Raven T & Lord Mike Ski’s album contained only one diss record. While they claimed a spot in rap history with the timeless "Small Time Hustler", and to a lesser extent with "Black and Proud", their most entertaining moment in the booth was “Act Like You Know”.
