As their Watch The Throne album takes the #1 spot on Billboard for the second week in a row, and reaches gold status in the process, Jay-Z and Kanye West are flying high right now.
Though we doubt everyone is happy for the The Throne’s success.
Jay and ‘Ye have made a few enemies on their way to the top and here’s a list of Rappers That Beefed With Jay-Z & Kanye West.
Check out the numbered pages below to view the list.
Tupac
Beefed With: Jay-Z
Jay-Z didn’t necessary do anything to start beef with Tupac Shakur, it’s more like Jay was guilty by his association with the Notorious B.I.G.

Nevertheless, long before Jigga was the star that he is today, he was dissed by Pac on a number of records.
Big Pun
Beefed With: Jay-Z
As rumor has it, Pig Pun wasn’t too fond of Jay-Z. And as the old New York folk tale goes, once upon a time, Pun actually took a bottle upside Jay’s head.
But we’re not ones to gossip (*cough* Bossip *cough*), so you didn’t hear that from us.
DMX
Beefed With: Jay-Z
They did a few songs together in the early stages of their careers, but if you ask the people around the two star rappers, these two couldn’t even stand to be in the same room together.
Dame Dash
Beefed With: Jay-Z
Under Dame and Jay, Roc-A-Fella was one of the greatest dynasties in rap history.
Dame was once Hov’s right hand man, but something happened between these two, leading to the death of a dynasty.
Dipset
Beefed With: Jay-Z & Kanye West
Cam, Jimmy and Co. were once signed to the Roc, but they were Dame’s boys and never really got down with Jay.
Once the Roc split, Dipset didn’t hesitate to diss Jay-Z and later on down the road, Kanye got it too.
Nas
Beefed With: Jay-Z
The beef between Jay-Z and Nas started over a woman, but in the end, their rap battle was one of the best ever.
Of course, these two are Big Homie (Jay-Z) and Lil Homie (Nas) now.
Prodigy
Beefed With: Jay-Z
Prodigy stuck his neck out there for Nas, but if he had it to do over, he probably would have just stayed out of it.
MC Hammer
Beefed With: Jay-Z
Why MC Hammer got pissed over lyrics to a Jay-Z song and made a diss record and video aimed at Jay is still a mystery to us all.
50 Cent
Beefed With: Jay-Z & Kanye West
50 Cent is one of the few rappers to have beefed with both Jay and Kanye, but then again, 50 is one of the few rappers to have beef with everyone.
Game
Beefed With: Jay-Z
We’re convinced Game just disses Jay-Z once a year out of boredom.
Consequence
Beef With: Kanye West
Cons was once a member of Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music empire. Nowadays he comes off as a disgruntled, jealous former employee.
Wiz Khalifa
Beef With: Kanye West
Wiz and ‘Ye say there’s no bad blood between the two of them, but we image if they bumped into each other in a dark alley things could get ugly.
Beanie Sigel
Beef With: Jay-Z & Kanye West
Beans was once the muscle of Roc-A-Fella and colleague of Jay and ‘Ye, but fast forward to 2011 and “Why I Love You” on Watch The Throne tells a much different story.
