While it’s been clearly evidenced that average citizens may have to answer to the things they spew onto social media, rappers aren’t exempt from being held into question for some of the things they do or say on wax.
Take the red-hot Young Thug for example. He’s caught plenty of criticism for saying the craziest things and has even had street gangs come at his head for flashing signs.
Loose Lips: Rap Lyrics That Led To Confrontations
But it’s gotten much deeper in Hip-Hop’s history. Take a look at some of these rap lyrics that led to confrontations. Like Tip Harris once said, “Watch what you say to me…”

“True Story/I’m bringing the team back/Even Roy Jones was forced to ‘lean back'” — Fat Joe on “New York”
The former pound-for-pound best was none too pleased with Crack mocking his fade at the hands of Antonio Tarver and was down to take on the entire Terror Squad to enact revenge. Nothing happened, though.

“Don’t let ’em gas you like Jigga is ass and won’t clap you/Trust me on this one, I’ll detach you” — Jay Z on “Takeover”
In his 2011 book, My Infamous Life, Prodigy says he and the clique ran up on Jay Z at Diddy’s restaurant following the track. But he ultimately let him live.

“Talkin’ Ill Will/Never feedin’ his moms/Why she live in Queensbridge still eating at Wongs?” — Nature on “Nas is Not”
Nas told XXL that Nature got his teeth stomped out for that line. Cold game.
“He jacked another and another, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder/Sang some R&B over the track for ‘Deep Cover.'” — Mos Def on “Children’s Story”
Following B.I.G.’s death, a testy Diddy felt like he was being disrespected for the Bad Boy sound but cooler heads prevailed after a peace talk backstage.

“I think I’m Big Meech/Larry Hoover” — Rick Ross on “B.M.F. (Blowin’ Money Fast)”
Larry Hoover Jr. proceeded to have Rozay explain himself following his biggest hit but Chi-Town’s E (of the Infrared Muzik Group) played peer mediator.

“I don’t fuck with no new n***as, they like to sue, no woo n***a/Tyga hit me like “Durk dissing”/Dirk Nowitzki? Dirk who n***a?/Never heard of these n***as/Some of the nerve of these n***as/Don’t make me put on burgundy n***a” — The Game on “Chiraq To L.A.”
Game and Tyga lyrically dusted Lil Dirk & Co. and apparently, they had enough of the rapping. No blood was shed, thank God.
“Me sweat another? I do my own thing/Strictly hardcore tracks, not a new jack swing” — Phife on “Jazz (We Got)”
That wasn’t Q-Tip trying to be cool in a ski mask in the “Hot Sex” video from the Boomerang soundtrack. Wreckx-N-Effect did a zoom-a-zoom-zoom-zoom and a poom-poom to his face after taking offense to the lyric.
“Even his own mama know Radric Davis a b*tch!/To be honest n***a, there’s nothin’ Gucci about chu/You p***y, nigga everything’s coochie about you” — Young Jeezy on “Stay Strapped”
Following the record, Jeezy’s people ran up on Radric on May 19, 2005 who in turn, defended himself by killing CTE rapper Pookie Loc. The feud has never resolved.

“To all them rap ass n****s wit ya half-assed rhymes, talkin’ bout how much you get high, how much weed you smoke and that crazy space sh*t that don’t even make no sense; don’t ever speak to me when you see me, knowaimsaying? Word. Imma have to get on some ol’ high school sh*t, start punchin’ n****s in they face just for living” — Prodigy on “The Infamous Prelude”
P-Dolo predicted he would be challenged over the skit and it was Keith Murray who reportedly got the upper hand on him in the form of an uppercut.

“I represent intellectual violence/And leave your click holier than the Ten Commandments/Like Redman I shift with the ruck/If ya if was a spliff we’d be all f*cked up” — Keith Murray on “I Shot Ya (Remix)”
Not shortly after, 2Pac approached Keith Murray for his contribution on LL Cool J’s East Coast-helmed remixed of “I Shot Ya.” As you can see, paranoia had already set it.

“Now Aaron Tyler, tell my why you seem so tame/When I caught you at the airport, shaking like a crap game/You looked up and you seen my n****s coming/And you looked like your b*tch ass was bout to start runnin'” — DJ Quik on “Dollaz + Sense”
This is more of confrontation turned into a rap lyric but let’s just say South Central was the real deal in the mid-90s.
“You claim to be a player but I f*cked your wife” — Tupac on “Hit ‘Em Up”
Welp. Everyone knows how this one ended up.

Capone-N-Noreaga ft. Foxy Brown – “Bang Bang” (The entire song)
