Snoop Dogg agrees with Ice Cube that “No Vaseline” is the best diss song of all time.

Snoop Dogg agreed with Ice Cube's recent take that “No Vaseline” is the greatest diss song of all time. When Cube fired off the take during an appearance on the Earn Your Leisure podcast, Snoop shared his agreement on social media.

"Hands down he does," Snoop wrote. "Nothing comes close." DJ Tony Neal of the Core DJs collective also agreed: “Nothing close except for ‘Hit ‘Em Up.'” Even Ice Cube admitted that "Hit ‘Em Up" is among the greatest of all time during his original comments.

The legendary N.W.A. rapper initially said on the podcast that “No Vaseline” is “the top battle song ever” and “it’s not even close.” Although, he did note songs by 2PacNasBoogie Down Productions, and Kool Moe Dee. “I mean, I would go with, you know, ‘Hit ‘Em Up’ is a good one,” he said. “‘Ether’ is dope. I would go with ‘The Bridge Is Over,’ and I don’t know, I think I gotta go with ‘Let’s Go.’”

Ice Cube dropped "No Vaseline" back in 1991 amid a feud with his former group, N.W.A. With the lyrics, he targets his ex-bandmates as well as their manager, Jerry Heller.

Snoop Dogg Agrees With Ice Cube

Cube previously discussed the making of "No Vaseline" during an interview on The Breakfast Club in 2014, as noted by HipHopDX. He recalled N.W.A. taking the first shots. “So, for them to diss me on they EP, 100 Miles and Runnin’, I kinda threw a little jab with ‘Jackin for Beats’ at the end," he explained. "And then they came with another couple of little disses. I said, ‘Okay, man, I’m tired of this. I’ma end this real quick. We gon’ set it all the way off.’ So that’s when I wrote ‘No Vaseline,’ recorded it. I put it on that ‘Cinderfella’ track, that Dana Dane track… we flipped it and it became a smash.”
