Diss songs are fundamental part of the hip hop culture and thanks to their ground breaking nature, disses are driving innovation and attention for rapping as a whole. Have you ever thought of writing a diss song against somebody? Do you know what are you doing though? Following your momentary emotions is a losing strategy. Do you know the rules? The first thing you need to figure out for yourself is why are you writing the diss song? What do you want to accomplish with it? Don’t just write it because you got angry with someone.

Some of you might think that a diss song has all of those three components, but you have to decide the main objective on which you’ll be focusing on, since it will be the thing, that will dictate your pick of a strategy .If you find yourself in a position of being attacked, you first have to assess the situation.
