<p>Hitmaka stirred the pot this week when he called out <a href="/profile/hitboy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Hit-Boy</a>. Though the two are undoubtedly some of the most prolific producers in hip-hop with unmatched catalogs, Hitmaka<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/643189-hit-boy-calls-out-hitmaka-mustard-southside-southside" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> threw the first shot</a> during an interview on Hot 97. While speaking to Ebro and co., the “<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/257495-hitmaka-announces-thot-box-remix-with-young-ma-dreezy-dreamdoll-mulatto-and-chinese-kitty-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thot Box</a>” producer argued that he’s the better producer due to his consistency on the radio. “See, but I’m on the radio; Hit-Boy’s not on the radio,” said Hitmaka. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the last four or five years on radio, I know it’s gotta be frustrating for him because my name is so similar, my brother.”</p>



<p>The comments undoubtedly transformed into something bigger than he expected. Hit-Boy struck back in the form of a diss track that Rory Farrell shared to his Twitter page. However, Hit-Boy didn’t just clap back at Hitmaka – he called out every other producer that stands alongside him, including <a href="/profile/MetroBoomin" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Metro Boomin</a>, Mustard, and Southside. “I don’t really know dude he seem like a cool cat/But I never once heard Metro Boomin do boom bap,” he raps before dissing Southside’s 808-heavy production. “I just seen <a href="/profile/yung-berg" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Yung Berg</a> spoke on the wave, I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name… how you got no credits without co-producers?”</p>

<p>Metro Boomin is usually lowkey but he doesn’t hesitate to respond if needed. The <em>Savage Mode 2</em> hitmaker didn’t even really use his own words but rather, the bars of <a href="/profile/KendrickLamar" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Kendrick Lamar</a>. While Hitmaka compared Hit-Boy’s diss as a “Control” verse for producers, Boomin shared some lyrics from “Rich Spirit.” Metro shared the lyrics from Apple Music, which highlights, “Stop playin’ before I turn you into a song.” Though it’s unclear if Metro is willing to drop bars, he clearly isn’t afraid of the competition.</p>



<p>Prior to this, Hitmaka <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/643243-hitmaka-to-hit-boy-you-are-a-terrible-artist" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blasted Hit-Boy for trying to diss him on a record</a>. Hitmaka’s argument is still based on radio plays, though he criticized Hit for using “punchlines from over a decade ago” in reference to the Trick Trick reference. “Is this like your attempt to do whatever Kendrick did on that <a href="/profile/BigSean" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Big Sean</a> record for producers?” he wrote. “U ARE A TERRIBLE ARTIST. SEND ME BEATS PLS.” At this point, Hit-Boy hasn’t responded to either Hitmaka or Metro Boomin but he did just drop off a new single alongside Musiq Soulchild. Check out Metro’s tweets above. </p>
